Already the big Guns" of
Both Parties Are Arriv-
ing on Scene
INDEPENDENTS HOLD
BALANCE OF POWER
If Democrats Fail in Organizing Low
er Body They Will Lose Much
Patronage and Power to
Shape Legislation
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, November
18.-(Special. Both sides
are preparing to play poll
tics-not in respect to the
enactment of pending legis-
lation, but regarding the or
ganization of the Sixty-fifth
Congress.
The Age-Hcrald in this correspond
ence has previously pointed out the
fact that six independents elected to
the Sixty-fifth Congress, will hold the
balance Of power. If the democrats
can secure the support of five of these
independents, they will elect a speak
er, retain control of all chairrnanships
and dispense patronage worth 81 ,O0O,-
900 per annum.
The democrats, in charge of all ma
chinery of government, and possessed
of the ability to bestow favors to any
reasonable extent, believe that il the
proper work is done they will organ
ize.
BIG GUNS NUMBERED
Already on the scene the big, guns
have numbered. Speaker Clark has
arrived Frank Doremus of Michigan,
who had control In the recent campaign
of democratic efforts to put demo-
cratic candidates for the House
across" is in the city. Henry Nor
ganthau, diplomat and politician. is
here. These and others are in daily
consultation with the President
On the other hand, James r. Mann
republican leader who will be speaker
II republicans organized the sixty
hfth Congress, has reached Washing
ton. Simeon p. Tess OF Ohio. in con-S
troll OF tho republican congressional
campaign. has also arrived. And there
are others.
There is no question but that efforts
by both parties have already been made
to limo up the independents. From
unofficial information. already printed
in The Age Herald, four of the inde-
pendents will stand with the demo-
Gratis.
But five are needed.
MUCH AT STAKE
In this matter of control, great
deal more is at stake than the aver
age individual imagines, it is pointed
out.
In the first place, If the democrats
organize the House and retain charge
of NIL committees. they can enact DEM
ocratic legislation. that which the peo-
pie have shown they desire.
The second consideration, it is
pointed out is not so completely
vitalized by patriotism. 1t is a
consideration based on the control
and disposition of rich patronage;
on the desire of those chairmen
who. having long commanded, are
unwilling to retire to a lovely po-
sition in the ranks; on the knowl-
edge possessed by each leader that
his position is an able ally in Sc
curing reelection, and that his de-
motion would of necessity be sub
ject to tedious explanation to the
people back home"
1t is safe guess. therefore, that the
democrats will make a strenuous ef-
fort. extended throughout an entire
year. to bring the independents to their
way of thinking"

Movies were characterized as luxury

state senate in an unsuccessful at.
tempt to impose tax Of l per cent of
the gross receipts upon moving pic
ture houses. &"'HSh
The opponents Of, the measure de-
clared that the movie men are not en-
joying luxury, but are engaged in .
business. It was suggested that tax
of one cent be levied on each ticket
to the movies and that the patrons Of
these places be required to pay the
extra cent.
This led to suggestions that base
ball fans, football fans and spectators
Of other athletic sports be required to
pay cent extra for each ticket, the
cent to go to the state. The movie
taxation bill was voted down, however,

schemes of taxation was brought to Q

BECOME USED TO SUFFERING
Soldiers in the Trenches Accustom
Themselves TO the Hard Condt.
tions Of Modern War.

A medical observer Of the effects
produced on French soldiers by pro-
longed service in the trenches notes
with apparent surprise that in few
months they lose all fear of the sud
den death which constantly threatens
them, cease to thrill to the horrors
that are their daily spectacles, and
when wounded seem almost Indifferent
to pain.
No doubt these observations are
true-of the men who prove capable
of accustoming themselves to the
hard conditions of modern war.
Equally credible, however, are the re-
ports coming from all the armies OF
men in considerable numbers whose
nerves will not stand the strain OF
the trenches and who are soon re-
duced by them to state Of imbecil-
