Prospects II. Congress

THERE need be no anxiety that the CON
l structive and creative legislation Pres:
dent Wilson will propose to the next Con-
gross will fail of approval because of Re
publican plurality in the House OF Represen-
tatvcs The President is snid to have ex
pressed confidence that enough Republican
votes will be obtanablc to put his program
through. and his confidence is justified
Democrats have many and strong reasons
10 regret the change in the political COM
pleXion OF the House. There may he chance
that enough Democrats will be declared
elected. when the ballots finally counted,
10 reverse the present situation. but the
chance does not seem bright The loss OF
the House means tho loss of the speakership
and Of the control Of important committees
by which Virginia particularly will suffer.
II may he that the several brands OF indie
pcndeuts who have been chosen can be in
duced 10 vote with the Democrats on organi-
zation hut that hope is not high either.
None the less. even if the Republicans do
gain control. they will attempt no high
handed measures for controlling the minority
or opposing public sentiment. Doubtless
they will pass the usual number of strictly
Republican bills and send them on to the
Democratic Senate. where they will he re-
j"ctcd promptly. but this sort of thing. with
its manifestly partisan purpose. will grow
wcarisCmc after while.
What IL divided Congress Democratic
Senate and Republican, House actually
docs mean is that partisan legislation will
be- rendered impossible Unless the two
houses are willing to take The responsibility
for blocking the progress of the country.
they will have To find some middle ground on
which both can stand Our conviction is
that they will find ii.
In the meantime the present Congress.
Democratic III both branches. will have time
tn put through the legislation which Is part
of the Democratic program. Measures re-
forming the immigration laws. new cor
rupt practices act, the Webb bill. which per
mits merchants in foreign trade form COM
bina tons for purposes of export: measures
making railroad strikes difficult by enforcing
investigation before a strike can be called or
water power legislation. 10 which the party
is pledged. should he pushed to passage when
Congress convencs next month
To the future the Democracy under presi-
dent Wilson can look with confidence. How
ever G;dcbound and react onnry Republican
congressman from the East may be- their
colleagues OF the West are OF another stamp
They. at least. have not failed TO heed the
tremendous vote Of approval registered last
Tuesday for Woodrow Wilson and his pro-
grcssivc policies. When the President speaks
back home. will he exceedingly likely to obey
Anyhow the Republicans will never have
chance 10 deprive Richmond of its reserve

Food Embargo Tnlk Win

THOSE persons now engaged in advocating
1 an embargo on the export Of foodstuffs
and other commodities. for the purpose of
reducing the high cost of living are wasting
their breath. The farmers OF this country
would never consent to snch an cmba rgo and
the Congressman who voted for II. unless
their districts Glanced to be wholly urban
would be signing their politics death
warrants.
Nor is thcr" anything unnatural in this
attitude. As the Manufacturers Record we'll
says: The farmers have not been over
prosperous as compared with other classes
AZ times they have passed through long
periods OF depression in the prices of cotton
and grain They arc as justly entitled from
every legal and ethical point of view 10 got
the most out of what they arc now produc-
ms as the day lahorer the mechanic is
entitled to get the largest amount of wages
he can secure"
What then shall bc done To provide this
country with its food supply for the next two
years? Tn" Manufacturers Record finds the
answer III the use OF every possible means 10
encourage increased production of foodstufIs
South and West should he cxhortcd by the
government to put in larger crops and every
