The senator or representative who
opposes what department wants in
the matter Of legislation. and partlcu-
larry in the matter of appropriations,
is likely to hear from home. Many OF
the departments have agents in all
the states and districts and these
agents are generally informed by some
one In the departments as TO the attI-
tude Of senators and representatives
Not long ago q western senator OPP
posed a number of appropriations that
were regarded as extravagant. 1t was
not long until be began to hear from
home that he was making himself I'M
popular by fighting certain appropria-
lions which were demanded by the de-
partment interested, and part of which
would be expended in his state. The
federal government has quite a long
arm, and In these matters there is no
partisan politics. The particular sena-
tor who is referred to here happened
to be Democrat.

Distribution Of 100000 food cards
among American housewives will be
made by the United States food admin
istration on December /, instead Of Oc-
tOher 81, as was originally planned.
The spread of influenza and the con-
seQuent ban on all manner of public
gatherings and activities, including pa
triotic work, prompted the postpone
mcnt OF the campaign.
The new card will contain no regl-
lations regarding either ''wheatleSS" or
'meatleSS" days, but will urge as a
whole the careful saving of all edibles,
particularly wheat, meat, fats and Su-
gar. 1t will be necessary for the Unit
ed States to send 5.7j0,00O tons more of
foodStuffs TO the allies this year than
last, with an almost staggering total
OF 17.500,000 tons in the coming
year in order that 120,O00,00O people
of these allied nations sitting at
common table" with America may
have stamina TO bring the war to
conclusion if peace is not meantime
obtained by Germany'S surrender.

Consumption Of coal was reduced
by million and a quarter tons during
the seven months operation OF the
daylight saving" law, according to fig
ures compiled by the United States
fuel administration. When the clocks
were set ahead an hour beginning Sun
day, March 81, and ending October 81,
the fuel administration planned to gath
er facts from many sources in various
sections of the country to determine
the saving in fuel likely to result from
the operation of the law. These data
have been compiled and form the basis
Of the estimate of the amount Of coal
saved.
In one district from which definite
facts We're obtained 1t was shown that
the saving of coal was TN tons per
1000 of population for the period of
seven months. These figures were
checked against records obtained from
other places in different sections hav.
ing the. same relative conditions, and
from the information thus collated the
estimate of 1,250.0O0 tons saved is
reached. The fuel administration says
that the daylight saving" plan in Eu-
ropean countries has been effectual
chiefly in the seven longer months.

, Speaker Clark announced that the
big deficiency appropriation bill, car
rying over 81 ,O00, 100000 for the support
Of the war, passed the house unani-
mously. 1t is a fact, however, that If
there had been a demand for a roll
call the bill could not have passed I'M
til a hurry-up order was sent to get
Il quorum. Many times during the
consideration of this bill there were
not more than so members present
and it is doubtful whether there were
more than so of the 435 members in
the house when the bill passed unani-
mously. OF course the same unani-
nous vote would have been given the
bill If all of the membership Of the
house bad been present. This only
goes to show that the house is abso-
lutely unanimous for carrying on the
war to q successful conclusion. f?f V,

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

! WaShington.--Both parties are care
fully figuring up how they are going
to control the next senate and the
is more difficult to guess what will
happen in politics than at any time
within the past SO years. One rea-
son is the absence of interest by the
people. No one can tell how much OF
II ialling-Off there is goirS TO be in the
vote in certain sections and certain
communities. The stay-at-home vote
may decide the election. Ordinarily
when the two parties are 50 evenly
Z balanced it might he assumed that
there would be as many Of one party
remaining away from the polls as IN
the other. but this nmy happen in
streaks: or IL may be shptTthe people
in one congressional district are par
icularly interested In n candidate and
will go to the polls to support him.
The same thing may happen in regard
to the election of senator's. The lack,
of interest which the people, haYe
shown thus far in the elections has
caused great deal Of uncertainty. 1t
Is the same old story about general
apathy which is often heard just be-
fore an election.
But this does not discourage the
men who are in charge Of the differ
ent political campaigns, from figuring
up their gains and losses, To win the
senate the Republicans must hold all
the seats they have now and elect
five members in place Of Democrats.
They claim to have three seats surely
secure and a good chance to win in
five or six other states. On the other
hand the Democrats claim that the
Republicans stand to lose some of
their members now In the senate and
say it is not possible for the Republi-
cans to make a sufficient number of
total gains to win the senate. The
| situation in regard to the house is still
more uncertain, as the guesSwork ~
entirely about various congressional
districts which both parties claim
they will carry. AS usual the claisiS
