now. Neither vets nor drys, in Con-
gress or out, were expecting two months
ago what confronts both today. Neither
side can or is disposed to run away.
And then there is the revenue bill,
which the House whipped through at top
speed. 1t was so crude, and had raised
such a storm Of protests, the Senate
finance committee upon receipt Of it felt
obliged to hear the protests, and, after
hearing them, to reshape the measure on
more equitable lines But no sooner had
it completed its work and made report
to the Senate than it was obliged to
withdraw the report for revision. Some
thing further and different in assess
ments had been made necessary by the
action of the Senate on the drink traffic.
In the light of all this. why should
senators or representatives watch the
clock or the calendar7 Instead of try
ing to shape business to suit an ad-
journment day, why not permit adjourn
ment day to be fixed by the develop
ments of business? Surprises have been
numerous, and some of them radical,
and others may follow. Hurry by Con-
gress might mean worry for the country.

Goldman and Berkman.

Emma Goldman and Alexander Berk-
man were convicted so quickly after the
prolonged taking Of testimony and de-
livery of arguments that the public is
distinctly treasured on the score of the
efficacy Of the laws against seditious ut
terances and actions. These two people
have been plaques for many years. They
have formed centers Of anti government
agitation and have spread the poison of
their pernicious doctrine among thou
sands. Berkman himself has a record
OF attempted assassination. Emma Gold
man has been in the front of every
illegal activity aimed at the established
order in this country for a quarter Of a
century. She has been jailed several
times. but always returns to her
agitation upon release. There is now
happily a prospect that she may be de-
ported, though she claims American citi-
zenship through her fathers applica-
ton. Berkman is a Russian with no
right to remain if the government or
ders his deportation The turning out
of these two people upon the expiration
of their terms Of imprisonment would
be blessing to America.
