"Yanks" in that body, Warren of

is the sole remaining Johnny Reb."
II has always been the case that after
the conclusion of war congress has
been thronged with fighting men.
Since 1868 there have heen hundreds
of Civil war veterans In congress at
one time or another, but even at that
ii is rather remarkable that AFTER SO
years there still are nine of them left.

Official Washington has realized dur
ing the past week or ten days that the
country has become more interested in
the war than any time since the Unit
ed States entered upon that great con-
flict. This interest is ascribed to the
fact that American casualty lists are
now being received and 1t Is brought
home to our people that great sacri-
fees are necessary in order to win the
war of civilization.
Prerogatives are great things and
IL properly used can often overcome
common sense. The house of repre-
sentatiyes will not surrender what 1t
claims as its great constitutional
prerogative, that of originating all
bills relating TO revenue. The senate
has its own prerogatives, but 1t does
not have to contest with the house for
them because these prerogatives relate
almost wholly to what is known as
executive business, the ratification of
/ treaties and the confirmation of pres
idential appointments. 1t does how
ever. have TO contest with the presl-
dent. for occasionally appointments
are made without the consent OF
the senate, which seem to he an in,
fringement upon the senate's prerog,
atlve, the right of confirmation, Then
! the president often makes an agree,
ment called "modus viyendi" with d
foreign nation, which is practically i
I treaty, without reference to the sen
ate's right of ratification
There is always more or less OF 9
squabble over these "prerogatives'
and from the way members of con
gress talk II would seem that the,
are more important than anything els,
connected with legislation.

OF course a great many important
matters have occupied the attention Of
congress and that might account for
the delay in presenting and passing
bill which would utilize the water pow
or Of the United States. For more
than ten years there has been q great
deal OF talk about the benefits to be
derived from the water power which
has been running TO waste and will
continue to run to waste until some
action Is taken, and yet there never has
been anything done.
Many months ago the senate passed
water power bill, but the house has
not seen ut to consider It. II has been
matter Of two months since a special
committee was formed In the house for
the express purpose of enacting water
power legislation. A bill approved by
three cabinet officers, all having juris-
dlction 20 some extent over water pow
er lands and sites, was submitted to
this committee and for time II seem
ed rs II the measure might receive
favorable consideration But this bill
stlu awaits action In the house. where
Ii Ii supposed to have strong support,
There are many subtle ways of delay
Ing legislation In congress and 1t Is
possible thai The water power bin is one
which has been marked for postpone
ment until congress gets tired and adj

The quorum proposition in both the
house and senate is a good deal of
farce. Recently there was an impor-
tant matter pending in the senate, and
at the same time hearing was going
on in one of the committees. There
was a ring of two bells in the commit
tee room and the hearing was stopped
"We must go into the senate and an
swer to our Names" explained the
chairman, "hut Wen be right back"
They left the committee room and
were in the senate perhaps one-half
minute, helped to constitute a quo
rum, and then returned to the com
mlttee room. On a count they figured
as part CT quorum, but of course
they We're not actually part of 1t.

North Carolina Is In the Iimetight
these days on account Of having four
OF its men in congress In very Inn
portant positions. Senator simmons
is chairman OF the finance committee.

Carolina men are the most influential

When the Overman bill passed the
senate an attempt was made to exempt
the government printing Office from Its
operations, but without avail. The
government printing Office has always
been under the direction of congress,
although 1t does all of the government
printing business. Heretofore con-
gress has been very Jealous of Its con-
troll Of the printing office and its Con-
gressional Record The awful sugges-
tlon was raised that under the Over
man bill the president might direct
Chairman Creel of the public informa-
tion bureau to take charge Of and edit
the Congressional Record. While moth
ing OF that kind is likely, the mere sug-
gestion caused cold shivers to run down
the backs Of those who feel that the
Record Is the only outlet they have for
getting their thoughts in print.
