Getting It Across.

Artificial enthusiasm-th perfume
tory hurrahing of the supernumeraries
to the drama-fails, almost inevitably,
in the vernacular of the footlight, to
"get across Neither the king. grace
fully receiving the plaudits, nor the
audience contemplating his triumph, is
honestly impressed. The effect OBJ
tanned in its staginess fires no one to
an enthused reaction
So it is that such vocal demonstra
ton as Washington tomorrow aecords
the LIST Division, marching down the
Avenue in the closing act of the great
diama in which it played SO conspicu
Gus part, must and will have nothing
of the perfunctOry in its quality.
Wash:ngtonians, so often inarticulate.
even while their hearts are stirred to
their depths, may be counted upon to
give Gen. Pershing and the list Di-
vision that spontaneous type of aecla
nation which cannot fail to thrill and
which alone can Hget across"
For they will be cheering not only a
most famous division of the American
expeditionary force and the leader of
their nations military destiny, but
also the duplication of America in
arms. They will know that, as the his
toric procession passes, it stands for
all the splendid effort and achieve
ment of those millions who carried
Americas honor in their hands over
there. And, with that consciousness,
they will vocalize their appreciation
more often than not with the picture
of one lad in their minds, one lad
typifed by these thousands, marching
with the light of victory in their eyes.
The way to cheer is to yell-to yell
what is in ones heart. The LIST Di-
vision and Gen. Pershing and what
they stand for will furnish the inspira-
ton. And Washington is going to try
make it hard for the veterans to
keep their eyes to the front.

numbers not only attend at the open
ing of the days session, but remain in
attendance at all important times while
the session lasts Committee meetings
can be arranged to suit. Members can
transact all their committee work and
other work, too.
The fact is that, much too often, few
seats in the House are occupied while
business is in progress. A quorum is
rarely present. Debates are conducted
by a small number. Long speeches,
even when advance notice has been
given, are as a rule delivered to a
meager company.
This, in measure. accounts for a
good deal of unsatisfactory legislation.
1t also accounts for what are called
"jokers." which now and then creep
into bills. and escape detection. A
closer watch by a larger number would
render such things difficult if not i'm
possible
Leader Mondell recently nudged
members on this subject. He bespoke
larger attendance on the meetings
of the House He has been in Con-
gress for long time and knows the
game-knows how the best results are
obtained and the value of strict atten-
ton to business. HIS words should be
needed. Congress. although in session
several months. is just beginning with
y crowded card. and should buckle to
the work in force and with all its
night. The country is looking to Con-
gress for much legislation. and expects
a reasonably prompt response.

The House, and Business.

The House is again facing the one
man power. The recent roll calls at
the beginning of the days session bear
ing upon the question of a quorum are
charged to one member.
Thirty years ago the abuse of the
oae-man power, which had been grow
ing for some time, led to revision
Of the whole House procedure. One
member had repeatedly been able to
halt business, not for an hour or so,
as in the present case, but for much
longer period. A skillful hand at con-
Quoting filibuster could do almost as
he pleased in and with the House.
Il was Thomas B. Reed who, when
he had taken the House gavel in the
Fffty-frst Congress, applied the rem
edy to that and many other ills. The
rules he formulated, and, after a hard
fight, succeeded in having adopted,
were stringent, but had good purpose
aad produced good results. They have
been tinkered since, to meet new de-
velopments and requirements, bat their
strongest features are still in use.
Even the men who opposed their adop-
ton approved them after they had
been applied and had demonstrated
their worth.

anything radical or comprehensive in
ne way Of correction. The remedy is

The Steel Strike Situation.

With 10000 steel workers in the Chi
cago district ordered to suspend work
lext Monday the chance of a suspension
of the general steel strike scheduled
for that day would appear to be les
sened. Vet there will be conference
tomorrow at Pittsburgh which may pos
sibly result in a postponcment pend
ing the industrial conference to be held
here October 6. Complaints are made
by steel workers leaders that the com
panies are dischargng men for or
ganizing and presenting wage scales,
pursuance Of policy of non -recog-
itiOn Of the unions. 1t is contended
that this will make it impossible to
hold the unions from striking on the
date set.
The success of the industrial con
ference arranged for next month will
depend in large degree upon the con
ditions that prevail i'll the general
working field at the time. If the steel
operatives. numbering perhaps half
million, are then on strike there will
he no such truce as the Pres dent has
urged to permit satisfactory adjust
ment.
If the steel corporations that do not
recognize the unions are insistent upon
pursuing that course they will go far
toward preventing any settlement, how
ever provisional, that will lead to a
restoration of normal conditions in the
industrial field. 1t would seem only
fair for them at least to cease reprisals
upon their operatives who seek recog-
milton OF their organizations while this
effort at settlement is being made.
The union men can hardly be expected
in reason to make all the advances and
he concessions for the sake of indus
trial peace
a general steel strike would be la
mentable, not only in its direct re-
suits of checking the production of the
steel mills, but in arousing antago-
nisms in other fields. Already the coun-
try is losing tremendously through
strikes in all lines of work A recent
estimate has placed this loss at &c.
100000 day. A steel strike would
add immensely to the wastage through
idleness.

Salute the Flag!

During the war the American peo-
pie learned some valuable lessons in
matters of patriotic manifestations.
They learned, for one thing, to recog-
nize and show respect for the national
anthem, rising and standing at at
tention whenever it was rendered. They
learned, too, to show respect for the
national emblem by uncovering when
ever it passed in parade. The habit Of
rising to "The Star Spangled Banner"
has become fairly fixed, and it appears
likely to persist. But there has been
a slackening in the matter Of saluting
the flag when it passes. When the ma
rines marched in review in this city
short time ago many heads remained
covered when the flag was carried past
in line.
Tomorrow when the LIST Division
marches through the streets of the
capital there should be no such slack
ness. Whenever the flag passes men
should remove their hats and all show
some sign of recognition. That flag
stands as the emblem of American
achievement in the war. It stands for
government, for order, for the will of
the people. It stands as the symbol of
the spirit that sent our men in France
into battle for principle and through
the enemy's lines to victory.
The flag tomorrow will be borne in
line by men who went to France pre-
pared to die for it. Those who stand
in the streets watching them march can
do no less than salute it as it passes,
for the sake of the men who carry it
at least, if not for the sake of the
government which it represents.
Let those who cheer the veterans Of
! the great war tomorrow. with their

Keen Interest in 1920.

When Gen. Pershing landed, among
the first questions he encountered re-
lated to politics. Was he a democrat
or republican, and was he. or wonld
he become. candidate for President!
He raised his hand. and replied to the
interviewers: "No politics. gentlemen"
And that was all the reply he made.
The Pershing boom is receiving no as
sistance from the boomee.
When Herbert Hoover landed Satur
day, after long sojourn in Europe,
lie was promptly Intercepted about the
Hoover pres dental boom, which had
made its appearance in his absence.
This was his reply:
"All of my official activities having
been completed, l am once more a com
mon or garden variety of American. L
am not partisan, and am not in
politics in any FORM
No Hoover boomer need be. or is
likely to be, discouraged by this. The
fact that Mr.. Hoover is not in politics
now does not render him immune. II
his friends are numerous and strong
enough next year, they can bring him
in.
Wherever Gen. Leonard Wood APP
pears there is talk at once about his
boom for the presidency. He himself
is silent on the subject, but his friends
are vocal, and are found in many states.
Saturday night, at Kansas City, Sen
ator johnson of California spoke
against the peace treaty and league of
nations, and some of his admirers in
the hall hailed him as the next Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Wilson's trip is, as he has de-
clared, solely in the interests of the
peace treaty and league of nations, and
he has discouraged all suggestions of
politics. But 1920 shows its head wher-
ever he goes. Curiosity as to third
nomination is rampant. Efforts to
stdraw" him are made, and all he says
on any subject is searched for some
thing that may be construed to bear
on that subject. But, as yet, no search
has been rewarded.
In a way and to degree, the presi-
DENTAL campaign is thus shown to be
in progress. The voters, with q good
deal else to think about, are also think
ing about next year. They are trying
to get line on the situation-on what
the leaders have in mind, and what
their present plans are.
The presidency of the United States
- one of the great prizes-the greatest,
We in America think, in the world. And
it is just now Of more general interest
than any other Office in the world. Eu-
rope is almost as curious as we our
selves are about next years candidates
and next years results. The country,
for two years and a half now, has been
more prominently in the eyes of the
world than ever before. Our size, our
resources and our abilities are known
now wherever our name is known, and
give to our approaching quadrennial
contest worldwide interest of a very
lively character.

SLIGHT Difference.

Slight Difference.
The things we do, the things we say,
All differ from the oldtime way.
Yet men toll on for pride and fame,
And struggle in the money game.
They rode in chariots long ago,
And in queer toys went out on show.
They counted coin with joy complete
In terms that now are obsolete.
Then love and hate and selfish hope
Moved men to clash and wildly grope
On ancient passions still we call.
The methods different; that is all.
