Never an issue of the Congress
sional Record these days but there are
remarks which "deplore partisan
criticism" and also assertions to
the effect that "this Is not time for
partisan discussion" At the same
time, as the election gets nearer and
nearer there Is an increase Of partisan
discussion. Naturally the attacks come
from the Republicans. They belong to
the opposition party. They are the
"outs." They must find enough faults
with the 'ins" TO convince the people
that there should be a change when
they go to the polls next November.
AS consequence the "deploring"
speeches come largely from the Demo
cratic side In both senate and house.
AT the same time it is observed that
the Democrats do not hesitate to at
tack the Republicans whenever an OPP
portunity affords. The Republicans
claim they have an excellent excuse
for exhibiting partisanship on account
of the strong support which President
Wilson and the entire Democratic adj
ministration gave to Joseph Davies,
who was Democratic candidate for SEN
ator in Wisconsin. With an election
coming on, it is impossible to keep
partisanship out of congressional de-
bates.

When the country Is at war
and the interests of the whole peo-
PIE are bound up in the success of
'he nation in that war, 1t may seem
strange that such drastic legislation Is
necessary as that which has been pro-
posed and so strongly advocated In
uoth houses of congress- Looking back
through the vista of years 1t is easy
70 explain why "copperheads" existed
y me northern states during the Civil
war. Those men not only had preju-
uces against war, but they believed
suites had right to secede. But when
uiere Is no question OF the rights of
states, and further, there is no ques-
.,oh us to the great disaster defeat for
.ne american arms would be to the
aauoh, 1t is certainly amazing that the
government is obliged to go farther
man II ever did before in order to put
eo"n treason and sedition.
~, put this fact stands out boldly !:
"uatever legislation is necessary to
maintain the government in the pros
"a OF the war will be enacted even
= goes to the extent of clothing the
T. Ns'ueht with still greater power than
~ ~" has. The people throughout
,n s country who are guilty Of foment-
NJ Ne reason and sedition are response
p p'e ior the drastic legislation which
sn. s oeen enacted and which viii be
snacted In the future.

With the statement of Majority
Leader Kitchin ringing in its ears. to
the effect that congress would be able
to adjourn by July If 1t attends strict.
ly to business from now on, the house
removed Its fists from its eyes and
stopped bawling about politics and in
competence long enough to pass IL mill
itary bills in one day recently. Most of
these bills were rather unimportant.
but two or three involved good-sized
appropriations or changes In policy.
Nevertheless the house seemed to be
more or less fascinated by the idea of
a midsummer adjournment, with pros
poets Of four months political skull
busting before the November cleo
lions, and the usual flow Of useful Ian
guage was not In evidence. But
whether the effort will last or not Is
another story.

There are lot of whipping boys
connected with the administration.
Readers of history know that as soon
as parliamentary bodies or ministries
became responsible to some extent for
carving on the affairs Of govern
ment. and even before when the mon
arch was primarily responsible for
everything, the opponents never at
tackled the head of the administration
directly but severely castigated the
"king's advisers"
Rarely do the opponents OF the ad-
ministration say much In criticism d.
rectly of the president, but they do
"take II OUT on one or more of the
"whipping boys" A few years ago 1t
was Josephus Daniels Of the navy de-
nartment who was the prime whip
ming boy" of the Wilson administra-
ZION Since the war began Secretary
Raker has been the principal whip
ming boy" and at various Intervals
Herbert Hoover, the food administra-
for: Doctor Garfield, the fuel admin
istrator, and George Creel, the CHIEF
of the bureau of information. Each In
bis turn takes his place as whipping
how, and very severe things are said
ohout these men, not only by Republi-
cans opposed politically to the admin
istration, but by many Democrats.

Speaker Clark cannot see that the
war is going to make any difference
with the pr, mt condition, nor does
he believe that the men who come
back from the war will want to go to
the country and live on farms. He
thinks that there is a general tend
ency on the part of the people in the
country districts to move to the cities,
and although he recognizes 1t is very
serious question, he has not figured
out a remedy.
He spoke of very interesting
phase Of the colored situation in a
number of states and particularly in
Missouri. He said that the negroes
gravitate to the river towns. 'It must
be that there is some affinity between
a niger and catfish" said the
speaker, for they have left good
places to go to towns along the riv-
ers. l know of places where they
could find employment for every men,
Der of the family. have cabin and an
acre of land where they could run a
little farm of their own. and yet they
pull up stakes and go to the river
towns"
1t would thus appear that the drift
from the farms is not confined to any
color or race.

WochingtOn.-Of course the Dig J0D
which the United States now has on
hand is winning the war, but there
arc several big problems to solve
which ought to be engaging the at
.ontion of those who are not devoting
their energies to war work. In way
o,,,+e a number of men have been try
,n0 70 solve the greatest of all prob
lens that confront this country, which
Is the depopulation of the farms and
the influx of rural people to the cities.
Sneaker Champ Clark has a clear
,dea about what is going on and can
rive the causes, but as yet has not
been able to offer a solution OF the
nroblem. The speaker takes his own
congressional district as an example
and he points out that little towns
throughout his district do not grow
because small manufacturing plants
cannot thrive in the smaller cities and
towns. One reason is because they
cannot get sufficient railroad accom-
modations and If located on one line
of road they have been squeezed in
the matter of freights. But the main
trouble is that manufacturing plants
In small places cannot maintain a
scale of wages or hold skilled labor.
Their best men gravitate to the cities
where they meet their own kind Of
people and where they seem better
satisfied. There is scarcely an agri-
cultural county in the United States"
said the Speaker, (which has not lost
population in the last ten years"
