GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY"
Senators Lodge and Kellogg and Gen. eraI Pershing Frequently Are Men tioned-Democrats Generally Are in- clined to Await Developments.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington. = Presidential politics cannot he kept out of various discus- sfons which arise from time to time, and almost any group of polltlciahs will not 20 very far until the subject of candidates for 1920 receives atteh- ton. It is rather interesting to note that Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and General Pershing of Missouri are freduently mentioned these days as Republican presidential possibilities, although these two states are not on the presidential highway. This so- called highway" consists of the five states of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois No president has been elected outside of any of them since 1856. Another state not on the presidential highway. Minnesota, has come in for frequent mention on ac- count of the prominence which Senator Frank B. Kellogg recently has achieved Although he is stanch Re publican he has shown a certain amount of independence of action, which has caused him to be favorably considered by many Republicans who are rather independent of the old ma chine methods.
 Democratic politicians do not discuss candidates and it Is evident that they are inclined to await developments, be cause there is q general consensus of opinion that should President Wilson be q candidate for another term no Democrat could possibly beat him for the nomination. There is still discus sion about Mir McAdoo, and also the idea Is held that a dark horse will be the real available man when the time comes to select a candidate.

Congressman Fordney of Michigan. who is likely to be the floor leader of the house In the next congress. has taken a strong position against extrav- agance and he will probably insist up- on close scrutiny of all bills which are proposed in the Sixty-sixth congress. T believe the time for spending the peoples money extravagantIy." he told the house one day, without question: ing the purpose for which it is raised and spent, is nearly at an end. During the war all men in congress were pa- triotic and raised no question as to what use the peoples money was golna to be put to in carrying on the war. Much of 1t has been extravagantly spent and hereafter will be accounted for with much criticism perhaps. Ibe- lieve that to delegate to the postmaster general the power to establish q sys- tenn of mail carriage by air service means the expenditure of not few million dollars, but billion dollars be- fore long"
 Hired Hessians.
 The half German king, George III of England, employed about 30 OOO troops from 30 different German states, especially from Hesse, against the col onists, before the United States was nation. The reason was that the war was very unpopular, few men enlisted and the government dared not con script Englishmen to fight their broth CTS in America.

Southern advocacy of government ownership of railroads is likely to re- ceive q check on account of the agita- tion that is now in progress in many southern states to have the govern ment railroad administration abolish the Jim Crow" cars. Nearly every southn state separates the black from the white in railroad travel, and the courts have held that the states have right to make such dis- criminations. But it is alleged that as long as the government controls the railroads there ought not to be be any determination on these lines on ac- count of color, hence the agitation on the part of the colored people in many sections to have the government abol- 1sh the Jim Crow" cars and allow the blacks to ride in the same cars as the whites. This has caused a number of southern senators and representatives 10 consider what might happen in case the government continued to con troi the railroads and there was Re publican administration. It is we'll hIoWn that the pressure from many Northern states would be great upon any Republican administration to abol- fsh Jim Crow cars or any other race distinctions, under government con troi. It may be, as William J. Bryan told number of distinguished South ern Democrats many years ago, that their only opposition to government ownership of railroads was the fact that 1t would abolish the "Jim Crow" ears and he warned them at the same time that the negro bugaboo would not prevent government ownership.

For once the proposition to increase the pay of rural mail carriers was voted down in the house of representa-. lives. Congressman Almon of Ala. bama made an effort to secure such an increase in the post office appropria. lion bill. but strange to say the In. crease was not made. Commenting on these rural carriers, Chairman Moon of the post office committee remarked that "the house is always very strongly in sympathy with raising the salaries of rural carriers. feel that way my self don't know why, but for some reason they have felt close to me.

Congressman La Guardia of New York came into his own when the proposition to establish air mail serv- ice was under consideration in the house. He got great deal of atten- tion when he told the house some facts about what air service would cost and what was necessary. He showed that it would need something more than a starting field somewhere in New York and a landing field somewhere in Chi cago He gave the house facts of n practical kind and showed that the maintenance and upkeep of mail air planes and the location of fields which could be used for such machines would run into the millions very soon if there was anything like an extensive air plane mail service established.

The discussions that have taken place on the pending peace proposals, which seem so vastly important, show that there will be no division on party lines. A great many Republicans are supporting the presidents various propositions and particularly that in regard to league of nations. There are Democrats who are just as sincere ly opposed to q league of nations as are to be found on the Republican side. An attempt has been made sev- eral times te create the impression that there is q party fight on this sub ject and that for partisan purposes at tempts are being made to discredit the president. Up to the present time, however. it would appear that there are no lines of division on the party aisle. IL seems almost certain that there will be long and even bitter de- bate upon the peace treaty when it is submitted.

Since William B. Colver became chairman of the federal trade c6mmls- sion he has been the target for great deal of abuse because of the activity of the commission in ferret ing out violators of the law, especially those who attempt to control "big husiness." In recent speech before T manufacturers association Chair man Colver explained that his own feelings should not be judged from the way in which he goes after of lenders. ''1f a law is not good" he said wisely, the best way to secure it's repeal would seem to be its strict enforcement" In other words, as long as laws made by congress and signed by the president are in operation. Colver will do his mightiest to see that they are enforced. But his re- mark indicated that if such strict en- forcement caused enough indignation to bring about the repeal of the law. he would not be sorry.

The revenue bill carrying $6,000,- 000,900 for 1919 and $400o,0 ,0o0,0 ,000 for 1910 was loaded down with almost every kind of legislation that could be imagined. Not only was the bOne-dry amendment for the Dis trict of Columbia attached, but what Was far more far-reaching in impor- tance was an amendment taxing the products of child labor, and another taxing political campaign contributions of more than $500 at the rate of 100 per cent. What is interesting about these various amendments that seem to have no particular place in rev enue bill is the fact that they will be adopted by the house. It is almost certain that the house of representa- tYes will make sure that these amend ments put on in the senate shall be incorporated in the bill before any con- ference agreement is reached.
 The child labor measure is one which excited q good deal of adverse cons ment, but strange to say 1t was not opposed by the usual number of south ern votes. In fact, a number of south ern senators voted for the amendment. They included Fletcher of Florida, Gay and Ransdell of Louisiana, Kirby of Arkansas, McKelar of Tennessee, Mar tn and Swanson of Virginia. Sheppard of Texas, and Vardaman of Mississippi. Here was no pretense that the amend ment would raise any revenue, but it gets around the recent decision of the Supreme court which nullified the act passed few years ago prohibiting the Interstate shipment of goods made by child labor. It has been demonstrated time and again that where everything else fails, the taxing power of the gov ernment can be used to stop any kind of business. While it is called dan gerous power 1t is sometimes exercised. Among the notable instances was the taxation of the circulation of state bankers at such n rate as to prevent is- sues of state bank money. Not many years ago the manufacture of white phosphorus matches was prohibited by taxation.
