Wilson faces tests more severe probably
than any he has hitherto faced The
result of all this will enter into the con

termine the greater contest in 1920.

Extra Session and Change of Date.

The extra session of Congress will af-
ford an exceptional opportunity for the
adoption of the constitutional amend
ment for a change of inaugural date.
Usually when this matter has been asi
tated by reason of an especially inclem
ent 4th of March. causing a public de-
mand for the change, Congress has been
out of session, not assembling until
months later when the question has sub
sided in popular interest. and general
legislative matters have pressed for ac
tion. After the organization of the
House and the passage of the appropria-
tion bills and other measures incidental
to the international crisis there will be
probably ample opportunity to act on
perhaps have already passed it in the in
terim of waiting for bills to come from
the House.
1t is important. if the inaugural date
is to be changed in season to affect the
ceremony of 1921. that Congress should
act this year. The joint resolution of
amendment, after adoption by Congress,
must go to the state legislatures for rati-
ication by three-fourths of them before
it becomes effective. This is slow proc
ess and not less than two years should be
allowed for it. All but seven of the leg
islatures meet in biennial session, and
even if the joint resolution were adopt
ed during the present calendar year it
would not gain the assent of the neees
sary three fourths, assuming no opposi
tion in the states, until 1919, as most of
these biennial legislatures are now in
session and will not meet again for two
years. A failure to pass the joint reso-
luton promptly, therefore, might jeop
ardize its ratification.
With this opportunity at hand in the
extra session and the striking object les
son in urgency afforded by the illness
of the President contracted in conse-
quence Of his exposure to the inclement
weather last Monday, it would seem to
be imperative to press vigorously next
month for action, especially as there is
great preponderance of sentiment in
both houses for the change.

The Extra Session.

The middle of April is a far better
time for the assembling of Congress in
extra session than the 1st of June would
have been. The middle of the present
month would have been still better
time, but that is Of no great matter
now. It is to the point-and will be of
assurance to the country-that Congress
will soon take up its duties and begin
to discharge them in the spirit of the
mandate issued by the people in No
vember. 1t represents the latest express
sion of popular sentiment on public
policies; and what it does respecting
those policies, and newer policies that
may arise, will be in the proper order
of our governmental procedure.
The length of the session is problemat
ical. Champ Clark is quoted for the
opinion that the extra session will
merge in the regular session, and that
the latter will run until August of next
year. Mr.. Clark is good judge of such
a question; and certain If seems to be
that. as The Star stated the other day.
Congress will sit while the public inter
csts demand.
The fixing of the early day by the
President directs attention afresh to the
House situation. which is unique. As a
result, all sorts of speculation is cur
rent. In one quarter republican con-
troll is the confident prediction; in an
other quarter, democratic control. In
still another quarter bipartisan control
little of this and little of that's
suggested.
Just now the public is being sounded
on the suggestion. 1t is new and start
ling, as is so much else at present
There are thirty odd days for inquiry
and discussion, and what "the folks back
home think about it should appear in
that time.
But whether the control is partisan
or bipartisan. the House-and the SEN
ate, too, for that matter-will have much
business of great interest to consider
And not all of it will relate to foreign
affairs. Some important domestic af-
fairs will press for action, and action
will be necessary. So that, beginning
April 16, Congress is likely to be more
conspicuously in the spotlight than for
many years, with all debates followed
closely, and the Record a publication

Postmasterships.

The racket over the proposition to
apply the merit system to the higher
grade postmasterships was inevitable.
Those places are priced by the poll
ticians, although it is true, as Champ
Clark says, that, as patronage, they
often cause trouble. Applicants are nu-
merous, and but one man can be chosen
for one place. Hence, for every friend
rewarded by appointment, ten or more
are soured by disappointment. Still,
there is something about that particular
Office which makes it dear to the local
political manager, and he resents all
efforts to rule him out Of the equation.
There are charges that politics is be-
hind this effort to take the post Offices
out of politics; that machine for the
Presidents future benefit is in mind I;
that 1920 is in the calculation; that it
will so fall out that democrats will profit

Full Powers and Extra Session.
aAlls we'll that ends we'll"

Tho President declares that he has
without action by Congress full powers
in respect to the arming of merchant
ships for defense, and will exercise these
powers at once. The President has
called an early extra session of the new
Congress in order that the coordinate
branch of government may complete the
unfinished appropriations work of the
dead Congress and may be quickly on
hand at this vital crisis to cooperate
patriotically and vigorously with the
President in preparedness, in armed neu-
trality and, if necessary, in war itself.
Since the President has full powers
without congressional action the Senate
filibuster did not render the govern
ment helpless. On the other hand. the
filibu.ter has indirectly conferred ma
tional benefit in that it has brought
about a wise and reasonable modifica-
ton of the Senate rule permitting un-
limited debate.
Utilizing present executive powers
and appropriations Immediately avail
able the nation can for the next five
weeks do all of the vigorous and eff
fective preparedness work that is hu-
manly possible. After that period the
new Congress will be in session to ap-
propriate and to empower. meeting
promptly and thoroughly every need
that may have developed and any emer-
gency that may arise.

Keep the Capitol Shining !!

1t is proposed to make permanent the
electrical illumination of the Capitol,
which formed so brilliant and memo
rable feature of the Inauguration. The
installation has all been effected. and
II can be maintained at an insignificant
cost for current. The Capitol is ono of
the most beautiful buildings in the
world. and its illumination gives it an
unfergetable quality at night. AS a
patriotic inspiration this spectacle is un-
surpassed.
1t is understood that sentiment al
ready prevails among legislators to
grant the authorization necessary to
turn the current on nightly for this pur-
pose. 1t should be accomplished if pos
sible. without delay No Disagreement
of the Capitol results and the picture
which the great pile presents at night
against the dark sky is beyond compari-

America.

American should be appealed to in all

If the President wants to silence those

TO the merit system as applied to post
masterships he has it in his power to do
so. Let him apply the system to the
New York city Office and to the Chicago
Office, both of which he very recently

spoils lines. The appointees in those
cases, without days experience in any
branch of post Office work, owed their
