 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
 The department of agriculture Is taking steps to accomplish part of that purpose in the matter of road inn provement, highway improvement, on the theory that Congress has acted on in the past, that for military pur- poses and for postal routes. roads are necessary all over the country. The department of agriculture. therefore, has asked, or is about to ask, for an increased appropriation which will en- able it in cooperation with the re- spective states to engage in a nation- wide project of road building that will absorb, If need be, some of these workers temporarily until industry resumed it's natural course.'
 MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS
 The secretary suggests that muni- c.pal improvement programmes halted because of the war be carried out as early as possible.
 He opposes the creation of work solely for the purpose of giving em- ployment to somebody on the ground that it is a waste of intelligence, en- ergy and material.
 T am not one of those who take the ground that country or a gov ernment owes every man q living" he says in concluding his letter. But all governments, all organized society, is man created, and consequently more or less artificial because of the restric- tions that must of necessity be in1- posed for the purpose of enabling us to live in harmony with each other. And because of these restrictions, men have not always the opportunity of working for themselves, and I am one of those who believe that all good gov- ernments will see to it that every man has the opportunity to earn a living In other words. the government does not owe him living, but it owes him the opportunity to earn a living"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Angry but
expectant congress meets at noon to-
day and an hour later will hear Presi-
dent Wilson's message on the open
ing session of the siXty-ffth congress.
Congress is angry because the presi-
dent has ignored it in making peace
and reconstruction plans. Until the
president has spoken, it will take no
action venting it's resentment against
him. But if his message does not
explain the reason for his trip abroad,
clear certain obscurities in his four
teen peace points, explain why con
gress was not consulted with regard
to the peace trip or the personnel OF
the American delegation then in both
houses a storm of bitterest criticism
probably will break shortly after the
president leaves the capital.

ing their colleagues today against dis
playing too much heat in discussing
the presidents course on the ground
that criticism in this country o!
President Wilson's course already is
proving embarrassing abroad"
The fullest attendance in bott
houses was guaranteed early today
by the arrival of many legislator:
