True to its policy, the house consld-
cred the subject of postal salaries
more important than the big meas
ures Of finance, war and commerce,
and I'm fact any other subject that has
come up during the session. The In
terest manifested in one bill alone,
that increases the salaries of post Of
| flee employees outside of the city Of
Washington, aroused more intense In
terest than almost any other single bill
certainly resulted in more lively de-
bates" scraps" they might be called,
as they often developed into wordy
contests between members on the floor
wherein each tried to bawl the other
out and the man with the loudest voice
had the advantage. At such times the
presiding officer would nearly split his
gavel trying to maintain order, but
without success.
Perhaps the interest Of all the men,
bers OF the house in the salary ques-
ton can be explained by the fact that
they know about salaries and wages,
while they are not so very well in
formed about high finance and similar
subjects. The real explanation, how
ever, Is that nearly every member has
a Constituent who is more or less In
terested in the question of salaries OF
government employees.

1t is quite likely that many things
will be done on account Of the war,
and among them we may finally reach
a point where price fixing will be
adopted. Notwithstanding the dec
lamations against II that have been
heard In both houses of congress- and
the assertion that we have passed no
law authorizing anybody to fix prices
Of commodities, 1t Is a fact that there
has been a great deal of price fixing
on many of the important articles OF
commerce in this country. And what
Is more, there will be general price
fixing II the so-called "profteers" con-
tinue to abuse the patience of the gov
eminent by charging eXorbitant prices
for the necessaries of life.
There are great many things which
the war may do before II Is ended, and
this much may be set down as certain:
Whatever is necessary to win the war,
that will be done. whether it is fix
ing prices of commodities, fixing wages
Of labor, or doing anything else that
is required to make a success of the
greatest undertaking of all time.

The United States senate has way
all its own and no other legislative
body or business organization proceeds
in a like manner or under similar
rules. The senate will start in earn
estly on one subject and debate 1t for
little while in the I70orning. Then 1t
will shift to another and there will be
talk on that. Perhaps very impor-
tant bill will be brought up. Dozens
of senator's will des.ant upon Its Inn
portance, and after that bill has been
under vigorous discussion, oftentimes
with important amendments suggest
ed, 1t will he laid aside and another
measure taken up.
Sometimes senator's complain of this
method of doing business and the in
congruities of such methods Of legis-
lation are pointed out. why not
take up a measure and finish 1t and
then 90 on to something elsef' they
often ask. Probably from the time the
senate has been in existence, certainly
for at least 80 years according to men
who have been around the body that
long, the senate has been proceeding
very much along the lines that are
now I'm vogue and the answer to all
the "why" questions has been the same
rs 1t is now: that is, such questions
are never answered.

tors, as Well as to Politics, and

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington. Attorney General
Gregory has been advised by his fell
low cabinet officers to enforce the es-
pionage law with a great deal of vigor,
and TO leave nothing undone TO stop
German propaganda, to secure Ger
man spies, and to squelch disloyalty
wherever found. He has been told
that unless the government takes Wig
orous action TO prosecute its enemies
within It's borders, there will be a
reign of lynch law, and that German
sympathizers will be found adjoining
lamp posts or suspended from the
limbs of trees.
Men who circulate among the peo-
pie, and particularly a large number
of officials who come in contact with
people from all over the country ana
have sources of information from all
sections, say that the people of this
country are very much disturbed on
account Of the signs Of disloyalty
which are constantly cropping out in
different places. More particularly
was this brought out on account of
the success which the Germans
achieved in the great offensive on the
western front. True Americans we're
sincerely depressed at that time, and
It made them boil with anger to see
or hear expressions Of exultation on
the part of people who have been
sheltered under the Stars and Stripes
for many years, whether they be
American citizens or aliens.
II Is believed that the department
of justice has instructed its agents
In all parts of the country to use the
utmost vigilance In suppressing dis
loyalty to this country.

In times such as these there are
bound to be explosions Several weeks
ago everything was running along
smoothly. and then there was the
Chamberlain explosion, which result
ed in several days of ardent debate of
more or less partisan nature. Then
the country settled down and Wash
ingtOn seemed to be very quiet, when
all at once the senate blew up with
bang. Senator Lodge lifted the lid
and other senators followed In severe
criticism of the failure TO properly
put the army in fighting trim and fur
nish II with all the implements that
II needed.
No doubt the last explosion was due
TO the nervous condition Of senator's
who were just then feeling very APP
prehensiye on account Of the great
German drive. Probably there will be
similar explosions as the war pro-
crosses, for 1t Is not in the order of
things for everybody to be satisfied
with the conduct Of the war.
