A CONGRESSIONAL HIATUS.

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
BY agreement both branches OF Con-
gress will adjourn tomorrow, bring
ing TO a close the "long" session and
preventing its merging with the short
sitting which opens by schedule on the
first Monday Of December. The holiday
recess will be taken about the middle
Of December and seldom Is anything
accomplished during the intervening
two weeks. This year the departure
of the President for France will in
crease the improbability OF anything
more than discussion.
There will therefore be a complete
hiatus in the legislative branch Of the
National Government until some time
in January, which will be Of extra
ordinary Importance. because Of the
consequential matters of resumption
which will be left in the air. The new
revenue bill heads the list Of legisla-
tlon thus postponed, and the result will
be that when IL finally shall have been
enacted il will be, so far as Its income
and profit taxes are concerned, entirely
de post facto, that is, 1t will be an as
sessment of taxes on income which al
ready has been earned and has passed
into the form OF capital, and in the
case Of many individuals no doubt will
have been spent. Every week
Of postponement Is likely TO count for
the reduction in the lax burden, and
certainly every week in distance OF
time from the state Of war will make

EDITORIAL OPINION

the popular unwillingness to bear war
taxes the greater. Postponement will
increase the possibility OF the final fall
ure of new revenue legislation and
leave the war revenue law OF 1917 as
the provider for the fiscal year, and
necessitating a spring session OF the
Sixty-sixth Congress.
The prolonged recess, together with
the Presidents absence, Will also lessen
the probability Of any legislation inter
fering with the continuance OF the
present extraordinary war powers Of
the Government before the first OF
January, or Of the creation of any Con
gressional commission OF reconstruc-
tion as has been proposed. The broad
Executive powers which exist on the
plea Of military necessity Will continue,
with the likelihood that resumption or
peace will have proceeded so far by the
time Congress gets into action that no
new machinery OF Government will BE-
needed, and it may be that the existing
emergency machinery will be so obvi-
ously unnecessary that it can be easily
scrapped
There is, in fact, every likelihood that
with the present narrow margin OF
party division in the Senate and the
evident independence Of thought and
policy on the part OF some senators
on the Presidents side the
period Of marking time in legislative
matters at Washington may continue
until the end Of the present Congress
D March.

lFrom ihe New York Tribune.l

Never before has the President re-
Vealed himself 50 clearly. He speaks
as one who moves rapidly toward the
summit Of prodigious career. He will
reach Il unasslsted. His gaze is stead
fast and his hands are ready to be out
stretched.
His followers win be deeply moved.
and it is impossible for the agnostics
and lnfldels not be fascinated, aston
ished, even a little bit awed, by so
much pure imperturbability in the
petulant face Of a jealous democracy.

raging at his neglect Of its powers, to

been threatening 10 heckle him in pub
lie, TO Democrats and Republicans. to all
the people that had been demanding 10

in person TO Europe, to the American
democracy, in short, he says:

This meaning comes at the end Of a
long address in which first he appOr-
tions merit and praise among those
who won the war-fghters, workers,
thinkers, men and women. There are
then a few practical things to be spoken
Of. No plan Of transition form war to
peace has emerged Therefore. the
problems OF socalled reconstruction will
have to be left to the quick resource
fulness Of people in their own interests.
There is no plan about the railroads,
either. Mr.. McAdoO's finance plans are
sound and Mr.. Lanes scheme for set

cellently recommended to the cOnsidera-
tlOn Of the Congress.
And now may he not welcome the oc-
casion to say why It is the paramount
duty Of the President of the United
States TO go 10 Paris? II Is very sim
pie. The Allied governments, having
accepted his "bases of peace" namely
the fourteen conditions, now very rea-
sonably desire my personal counsel in

The American people have very rea-
sonably been desiring their Presidents

is no Interpretation Of such vital points

Ogy, for it is an emotional attitude. This
IS revealed fully in the exhortatlOn at

The executive and legislative branches
OF the government are squaring away
IN preparation to an encounter over re-
construction. The prospects are that a
bitter contest will occur in the process
OF readjusting the machinery OF the
government to peace conditions. The
stage Is set for battle between these
two coordinate branches OF the gov
ernment that may make the exciting
events OF the Cleveland administration
pale Into lnsigniflcance.
After the armistice was signed and
peace became an assured fact, the di-
rector general Of railroads proceeded to
take over the express system OF the
country and the Postmaster General
took control OF the cable lines This was
construed In Congress as evidence that
the administration, instead OF prepar-
ing to give up the power which had
been intrusted 10 II for war purposes,
proposed to retain II and exercise II for
an indefinite period
Congress, which previously had as
serted It's right to a dominant influence
in the -unscrambling process, noting
these signs OF approaching hostilitIes,
proceeded to mobilize. Republicans of
the Senate, who will be In control of
that body after March 4. met In con-
ference and resolved that the Con
gress shall assert and exercise its nor
NAL and constitutional functions, in
cluding legislation necessary for recon-
struction." Within a few hours after
this action was taken the President was
in conference with leading Democratic
Senators, to whom he outlined his
views with respect 10 reconstruction.
1t is understood that he favors con-
tinulng some OF the war boards, such
as the war industries board, the war
trade board and the food administra-
tion,
In view of the approaching contest
between the legislative and executive
branches IL Is perhaps advisable to re-
vert to the basic law OF the land and
take a 1eeting glimpse at the consttu-
tional powers conferred upon the va
rious departments OF the government.
II has been the general impression that
the Constitution is quite specific as to
the relative powers Of Congress and the
executive in peace times. War powers
are subject TO a wide range OF inter
pretation, but the peace powers are
more definitely settled and more clearly
stated. Here are some provisions which
seem TO bear directly upon the matters
at issue:

raising revenue shall originate in the
