No Extra Session of Congress.

President Wilson is said to be anxious to
avoid calling the Sixty-hfth congress into special
session He has given over much of his para
mount program of legislation in order that par
tcular attention may be directed to the interna-
tional situation. Big appropriation bills and pub
lie safety measures are being rushed through,
while the shipping bill, proposed amendments to
the Interstate Commerce and Adamson laws and
other similar matters will be allowed to go over
to the regular session next winter
1t is only fair to concede that no public in
terest is likely to suffer through this course. Even
the usual extra session of the senate to confirm
appointments is apt to be dispensed with, an in
dication that all cabinet officers are to hold over
The price probe and other inquiries need not be
interefered with, while the work of providing for
the national defense will progress as fast or
rather as slowly, without as with congress on
the presidents hands. The new congress, further
more, will not be dominated by the democratic
caucus, and legislation may be expected to re-
ceive something more nearly approaching careful
consideration in the next session than has recently
been the practice. Whatever Of disappointment
the president may endure in the failure of pet
projects is chargeable to his own partisans who
have really served their country better than they
thought by delaying the passage of the measures
now to be laid over.

Nebraska Star of the Diamond.

The spotlight turns to Nebraska as naturally
as the needle to the pole. This time 1t illumines
the home town of Grover Cleveland Alexander,
and St. Paul, Neb., takes precedence over its
namesake located just below ST. Anthonys falls.
"Aleck" has Just completed arrangements with
the Philadelphia National League Base Ball club,
under which he will serve for term of years at
a salary said to be the highest ever paid 4 pro-
fessiona pitcher. In absence of exact figures,
the simple statement, coupled with knowledge of
what other stars have drawn, is enough to make
the natives gasp with awe, even while they swell
with pride.
Alexander is not the first Nebraskan to shine
on the diamond-"Sam" Crawford, Freddie"
Glade, George Stone, Sam" Agnew, zoe" Do
Ian and host of lesser lights have glistened in
the luminous galaxy that glows with fervor over
the annals Of the great American game, all sprung
from the praries of Nebraska, and most of them
getting their rudmentary knowledge of the game
In rustic environment Nebraska takes proper
pride in Grover Cleveland Alexander, as it does
in all its distinguished sons and citizens and with
no spirit of boastfulness calls attention to the
fact that from oratory to inshoots, in all depart
ments Of human activity, it puts out only the
best.

ALI DRY" States to Be Bone Dry"

A condition and not theory confronts all dry
states through the enactment of the "bone-dry'
law by congress. Uncle Sans ability to control
the interstate traffic is fairly well established To
be sure, moonshining is always possible. but it
is dangerous and unpopular, and quite unreliable
as source of supply to those who have been
accustomed to plenty. The new federal law will
not leave it open to question that prohibition
prohibits; the main point is, what effect will it
have on the ordinary drinker1 Will he abandon
his nip" or will he enlist in the fight to lift the
lid by repeal? The psychological phase OF pro-
hibition is now involved and the course of the
man who voted to Danish the saloon expecting
to be able to satisfy his personal desires from
outside sources, becomes of great importance. If
he turns teetotaler, prohibition will have been
made permanent; if he persists in wanting his
dram, he must help undo the work accomplished
through his vote. In the language of the card
table, the vets have seen the drys and gone them
one better, though it remains to be seen whether
the play will eventually prove a winner or
loser

Why Not Try 1t?
Lincoln Star

Probably because nothing is ever settled until
il is settled right the measure to inject INTO the
anti-cigaret law that vitality that has its in
spiration in common sense has appeared again at
this session.
This time it is the joint bill of Representative
Dorsey of Franklin and Representative NeH OF
Knox, the former resident of Bloomington and
the latter of Bloomfield.
1t proposes to legalize the sale OF cigarets to
adults, while stfening the penalty for their sale
to minors
The existing law. seeking to forbid the sale
of cigarets to all, is held in quite general con-
tempt. and is because of that fact dead letter.
Cigarets are sold by many dealers with as much
freedom and assurance as if there were no law
against it whatever minors buying them as
readily as adults Law enforcement is impossible.
1t is urged, and experience in this and other
states susans the theory, that if the law forbade
only the sale to minors and imposed drastic pen
altes for such sales, it would be possible to en-
force it.
Two years ago a similar measure, or at least
one having the same general purpose, was intro
duced by Lancaster county representative. 1t
was legislative bunder that it failed to pass,
There is reason to believe that the anti-cigaret
law will remain dead letter so long as it seeks
to impose radical restrictions upon adults. Would
it not be wise to try the other plan for at least
biennium and see il it is not possible to protect
the minors from habit that is more foolish than
vicious?

Abolish Continuing Appropriations"

The legislature has before it chance to do
real service by making a specific appropriation
for the support of boards and commissions for
meriy permitted to depend on fees. This would
conform with the plain letter Of the constitution.
Two years ago, in eagerness to make showing
for economy, the democrats made no appropria-
ton for the food commissioner, although the cost
of his Office ran high into the thousands of dol
lars. Out of this deliberate neglect grew bitter
controversy between the governor and the state
treasurer, the latter relying on the fundamental
law Of the state, The supreme court finally held
that the original appropriation for the support of
the inspection department was continuing ap-
preparation, setting aside the fees to defray the
expenses, with only the surplus to be covered
into the treasury. The constitution says all fees
must be paid into the treasury and that no
money be drawn unless specifically appropriated.
The democrats now have chance to restore the
constitution Of the state to its operative force,
as we'll as to head off possible scandal and ex-
travagance, by making definite provisions for all
state officers, boards and commissions and re-
curing that all fee collections for whatever pur-
pose or service be paid into the treasury.

THE MAN WHO KNOWS 1T ALL.


In this loose and lawless age, when oppres-
sion holds the stage
And the weak being crowded to the
wall,
IT'S a pleasant thing to find that Provi-
dence most kind
Has at last produced man that knows
1t all:
Not a man who holds aloof. letting others
bring the proof,
But a man who just admits he knows 1t all;
And more. much more than this, that while
knowing what's amiss
He guarantees to disspate our cares
And to cure all public ills with a box of
magic pills
Compounded by two famous doctrinaires.
So, of course, We'll all rest easy. play check
ers and parchesi,
While the country's growing taller and more
tall
For we know that naught can harm US, nor
even much alarm us.
While we cuddle up with one who knows
1t all.
Still, by Heavens and by Hector. that this
chesty chin protector
Is psychologist problem all admit
For while showing by each act that he takes
1t for a fact
That the public doesn't know a little bit,
BY wholly adumbration that we fall to un-
derstand
And tralatitious lingo that flows to beat
the band;
With smooth and plastic logic, guaran-
teed upon Its face
To support with equal vigor either side OF
any case,
Our pedantic. dialectic. pedagogic jabber-
wock
Keeps his friends befogged and guessing
While he strings them by the clock.

Sartorial Laziness of Mon
.Philadslphl. L,drs,

Many and many time the effort has been
made to separate man from his customary suit of
solemn, black. The argument that you cannot
tell guest IN evening dress from a waiter has
been used again and again, on the assumption
that the guest, and not the waiter, objects to
the confusion in identity, which may not always
be the case. But man remains a sartorial bour-
bon. Even the taors, who have just brought to
an end their convention in this city, did not ven
ture to pronounce for change, although one in
trepid reformer appeared at dinner in purple We
hear predictions OF lavender and blue as well, OF
colored hose OF lace, of satin pumps with gilt
heels. But will they come true? Years ago,
when aesthetics" fourished, when Bunthorne
was a household word, there were vagrom at
tempts at the picturesque. Some blithe spirits
affected knee breeches, occasionally with disas-
trous effects. The common spectacle presented
when these were the wear for the bicycist did
much to prevent their universal adoption Men
cannot carry off any fashion as we'll as women
can. II men ever had this gift they have lost il
by long disuse. Few of them could support the
dress OF gentleman of the court Of Louis XIV
with dignity and grace. 1t takes an intimate ex-
perience in modern masquerade to qualify for
such a part. Again. it would be extremely diff.
cult TO persuade tired business man OF these
days that dress is the most important thing in
life He grumbles over the trouble OF getting
into the simple garb society now prescrbes He

with silk ruffies, the white silk stockings, which
were matters Of daily wear still more to til,
