The Duty Of Congress.

It is the duty Of Congress to legis-
late for the District. It is its duty to
make appropriations for it. If in the
course of the enactment of an appro-
priation bill differences arise between
House and Senate it is the duty Of the
two houses to adjust those differences
and reach q decision. Legislation can
not be accomplished by succumbing to
such differences and permitting mat
ters to drift into neglect. Ordinarily
the conflicts between the houses on ap-
preparation bills are as to matters Of
amount, or questions Of policy. They
are susceptible of adjustment or COM
promise.
When a strictly legislative item is
intruded upon an appropriation meas
ure and it becomes the subject Of OBJ
stinate deadlock 1t Is Incumbent upon
the proposing house to withdraw it
after q reasonable time. The repeal
Of the haif-and-half principle Of the
organic act ID such an extraneous item.
It does not belong upon an appropria-
tion bill, although it pertains to the
manner in which the District is
financed. It should be the subject Of
separate legislation, considered on its
merits and standing on its own basis.
Having reached the point of dead
lock on the District bill because the
House insists upon using that measure
- vehicle for the repeal of the half
and-half principle, il is the duty
OF the House, as part Of the Districts
legislature, now to yield in order that
the regular appropriations may be car
rfed through. Further insistence car
:ies the case to the point Of actual In
jury to the local welfare, through the
denial Of the funds which are urgent
1y needed to carry on important works.
Failure to pass one Of the regular
federal appropriation bills because one
house or the other insisted upon re-
tanning an e1traneous proposition, at
taehed as q rider, would evoke sharp
rebuke from the country. The confer
ence process is provided for precisely
the purpose Of settling such issues.
Failure of the conference brings
squarely back to the two houses the
duty Of yielding in order that legisla-
tion may proceed. In this instance the
obligation to recede rests upon the
branch which has proposed to change
the fundamental law, without investi-
CATION or hearing and without adequate
discussion.
The House should not continue to
confess its inability to act as the Dis
trict's legislature, by persisting in "ad-
herring" to an item which is contrary
to equity and is, moreover, opposed
with virtual unanimity by the Senate,
which has on its side the law, the rec
ord and the recommendations Of the
Joint select committee which short
time ago investigated this subject.

Germany and the American Press

Germany and the American Press.
Disclosure that German money was
used to purchase Newspaper in New
York before the United States entered
the war, in order to promote propaganda
In this country unfavorsbls to the al.
lies and favorable to Germany, rensws
interest in tbs methods employed by
the government at Berlin prior to our
break of relations. Immense sums Of
money were spent here to foster an anti
ally sentiment, % we'll as to cripple
the munitions works employed In pro-
ducing material for the entente gov.
srnments. Some Of the ways in which
that fund was employed have been ex.
posed. Perhaps the government has
knowledge Of other enterprises, not yet
brought to public view. It ID now
stated in connection with the case of
the alien enemy ownership of the New
York Mail that no lees than $40, ,000, 900
was provided for the American propa.
ganda.
The utter fntility Of this method Of
Influencing American public opinion is
shown by the fact that as soon as the
ownership Of the Mail passed into
hands representing, - it 10 now al
legged, the government at Berlin, Its
prestige diminished. It's circulation
fen off, its advertising patronage dwin.
died and It became . heavily losing
venture. OF course, that did not af-
xsct the German owners, who were
Wiling TO put up the money necessary
to keep the paper going. But it was
an evidence that no Newspaper could
possibly divert sentiment in this coun-
try against the allied cause and in
favor Of Germany, and that ons that
set out to do 10, whatever the motive
or the ownership, was certain to lose
support.
The American newspapers did not
make sentiment against Germany. It
existed in its own strength and the
newspapers Of the country rsfeeted it.
No newspaper that espoused the cause

A TRICK OF THE TOBACCO
 TRUST

W. A, McKeever of the child wei fare department of the Kansas Uni verslty, says: Again the tobacco trust has pulled off neat trick. and that on a mammoth scale. Through cunning use of ready-to- print news paper material sent free to the press this thrifty concern has brought forth mighty chorus of sobs and lamen- tations over the imagined lonesome ness of our boys at the army camps. Thus they have induced millions to contribute large quantities of tear stained cigarette 'makins' for he solace and comfort of our boys"
 Mr. McKeever goes on to explain that the men in military camps do not have ten minutes a day to be- come lonesome. "What they need is not tobacco dope or solace; they need more courage. and the highest possi- ble fighting efficiency, clearness of aim, steadiness of nerve and heart action power to resist fatigue and disease and to recover from wounds determination not to yield or sur render to the enemy, strength to re- sist lustful temptation-and cigar- cites tend to weaken them in respect to every one of these fine qualities. !"

JUST WHAT SHE NEEDED

When women complain of weariness, loss of strength and vitality, back ache, pains in sides and hips, dull head aches, dizziness, floating specks, and similar ailments, they too often accept these troubles as their lot because they are women, when the ailments may be the results of disordered kid neys. Mrs. Mary V. Bunker, Milton on-the- Hudson, N. r., writes: "I am now on my second bottle of Foley Kid ney Pills. They seem to be just what l needed Try them.

A trim, freshiooking and practical tailored suit Is the mainstay of the American woman's wardrobe, every month in the year. Sometimes it hap pens that she must choose new one just between seasons, as in February or January. Winter suits are offered at bargain prices then, and early spring styles have appeared, enticing- iy new and tempting. The shopper is torn between two minds, and no one can settle the matter for her. It must be decided by the climate she lives in, the kind of service she requires of the suit, becomingness of the styles and other personal matters.
 Winter and spring styles compare notes in the two suits shown here. At ahe left an advance model for spring reveals a trim affair of dark-colored cloth, with plain skirt that does not commit itself to the very narrow style which has been considerably heralded. The coat approves the conservation of wool by being short. enforcing its opinion especially In the back of the garment, which Is shorter than the front. This Is fine model for a slen- der figure, with&a yoke to the shoul- 1ers and the front and back attached

to 1t, plaited at the sides. The coat sleeves broaden the figure by means of little fullness at the top. There is a narrow belt and springtime touches in light buttons, in an over collar of white satin and insert of white in the V-shaped cut-out on the plain cuffs.
 A suit of duvetyn at the right, trimmed with chlnchilla fur com mends itself for either the northern or southern winter, and has much dis tinctive style. The skirt Is as narrow as it can be, conveniently the coat hangs as straight as plumb-line, but tempers its severe simplicity with rounded points at the bottom. The sleeves are allowed little fullness at the top and finished at the hand with strap and button trimming. A mar row belt of the cloth suggests the waistline, and very large buttons fas- ten the coat and are lined up on the skirt in way to emphasize the long, straight line that will commend this model to many women.
