The Seized Food Stocks.

In different parts Of the country
seizures Of boarded food supplies are
occurring in large quantities. Some
of these stocks have been seized in
cold storage, others, Of q non-perish-
able character, have been found in
warehouses. No statement is yet made
as to the disposition Of these goods.
They should, however, be put upon
the market as promptly as possible un-
der the auspices Of the government to
affect the price scale. The hope il
that if the prices are once broken they
may be held down generally. But to
accomplish this the anti-pro6teeRing
measures must be directed at other
commodities than foods. Clothing and
shoes should be lowered. Other items
that affect all the people must be re-
duced to establish . stable condition.
The food handler, whether producer or
distributor, points to other high costs.
of personal or corporation necessities,
as justification for maintaining high
prices in his line. Similarly the han.
|dless of clothing point to the Aish prices
of foods as their justi6cations. Each

to start something, and keep it going.
But the House has not lost its spirit
by a long shot. 1t loses trained men
to the Senate. and yet in its new re-
cruits from the people finds the ma
terial for keeping up its reputation
for excitement and strenuosity. Its
size contributes to the stir. A full
House furnishes large audience.
Hence, when the debaters, with many
orators among them, get into their
stride, there is inspiration in the give
and take, and in the applause on the
floor, which the rules of the chamber
permit, and which greets those who
score.
Something may be allowed. too, to
the character of the new issues which
Congress in recent years has been
handling. They have related intimate
ly to the great body Of the people
to reforms that touch the social as
we'll as the industrial life of the ma
tion-and so have developed in both
debaters and auditors a large amount
of feeling along with good many
theories. They have had a wakeful ef-
feet everywhere, and particularly in
this town.
Evening star., 1919-08-16
Senate and House,

1t is matter of remark that there
is more life in the Senate than for
merly. For long time jokes were
cracked at the expense. of what was
called the senatorial atmosphere,
which the jokers described as too slow
and solemn for everyday purposes.
Thomas B. Reed, who loved the anima-
ton, even the occasional turbulence, of
the House, and as a member contrib
uted a good deal toward it, used to
refer to the Senate as "that body Of
somnolent old gentlemen"
But that day has departed. The Sen
ate has become a very live wire. Some
thing is started there quite often. The
galleries are frequently crowded. Wis
itors to town are advised not to fail
to look in on the Senate.
Two things have contributed to the
change. The first thing is a growing
tendency in the House to "pass things
up" to the Senate. "Let the Senate fix
it, is phrase often heard ON Capitol
Hill. And so. with many difficult
things thus received from the House,
not to mention troubles originating
within its own bailiwick, the Senate
stages some decidedly spirited dramas.
If somnolence ever dwelt in the cham.
Der it has been banished.
The second thing is the recruiting
of the Senate from the House, which
has been increasing of late years. In
this way many men carry with them
to the upper house the tastes acquired
in the lower. They learn their trade,
SO to say, in the one body, and work
d it in the other according to tastes
acquired. 1t is not difficult for them
Evening star., 1919-08-16
A Quorum.

1t seems to be difficult to keep q
F.: quorum of the House in town. Only
+; a few days ago, when it was an
/ nounced tlat the President would 'ad-
(! dress Congress ON the high cost of liv-
! ing, it was necessary to use the wires
freely to secure the necessary attend
ance of representatives. Many had
gone home or elsewhere on private
| business.
Again, yesterday, quorum was lack
ing. As a result, as important mat
ter as the Presidents veto Of the re-
peal of the daylight saving law had to
be postponed until next week. The
quorum secured to hear the President
had faded away.
Speaking frankly, this does not look
like business" It does not show full
appreciation Of a situation which is
daily increasing in gravity. Unrest in
the country is growing. 1t is cropping
out in all walks of life; and remedies
for this thing and that are demanded.
Congress, of course, is not cure-all.
1t can do much, but not everything.
Too much is sometimes expected.
Where there are so many demands, as
at present, some, necessarily, are un-
reasonable.
At such time as this, however, what
ever Congress can do it should do
promptly.
This special session was called to
deal first of all with matters the last
Congress had left unattended to. And
they were taken up and disposed of in
very satisfactory fashion.
But that did not close the chapter.
There were other matters pressing;
and attention was turned to them. Nor
should the attention be relaxed until
they have been disposed of.
To a degree, the republicans are re-
sponsible on Capitol Hill. They con
troll both houses Of Congress. The
initiative is theirs. If things go we'll
they get the praise; if ill, the blame.
And next year comes the accounting
to the people. The record will be close
ly examined during a hot campaign
for any material it may afford in IN
effort to retire the republican party in
favor of the democratic party.
And yet the democrats are not with
out a share of responsibility. They.
too, should stay on the job, manifest
ing themselves in opposition to the
opposition, and in advocacy of what
they think the situation calls for in
the way of legislation. Reconstruc-
tion is at hand; and they must help
reconstruct. It is a large order. and
cannot be tackled too soon, or pushed
too steadily or earnestly. Every roll
call should show, not only a quorum,
but an attendance in both houses tes-
tifying by its size to keen apprecia-
tion of the duty of the hour.
