Closing of the War Congress.

Never before in American history
has Congress closed with so long a
record of great things accomplished.
The war Congress has enacted laws
that have in their significance far
transeended the achievements of any
predecessor. 1t declared war on Ger
many. 1t insured victory by adopting
the seleetive draft principle for the
creation of an army. 1t provided for
the prosecution of the war by unstint-
ed appropriations in sums that went
beyond the largest scale ever before
conceived 1t insured the raising of
funds by series of popular loans
totaling many billions and enaeting
revenue laws without precedent in the
records of taxation. It assured the
speedy construction Of merchant ma
rine It established a federal admin
istration of food, fuel and transporta-
ton. It safeguarded the country by
passing laws against espionage and Sc
dition. 1t responded during the war
with virtually no dissent to every
requisition from the administrative
branch of the government. 1t dis
charged its duty promptly and eff
GENTLY while the enemy was in the
field. 1t was a tower Of strength to
the nation, and now, as the gavels fall
for final adjournment, the war Con-
gress passes into history with credit
as high as that of the men who in the
field and on the seas and in the places
of direction discharged their duty as
defenders of the national rights and
honor. The members Of the Sixty fifth
Congress, today relieved from an al
most continuous service of two ex-
hausting and anxious years, have won
the thanks Of the American people.

Keep the Canal Open!

If the government will not grant
financial assistance the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal, it is stated, must sus-
pend operations. This world affect
nearly 600 men and their families, and
will cut off an important means of com
munication between Washington and
western Maryland and northern vir-
ginia. 1t would be a serious misfor-
tune to permit the canal to close. Ap-
p1ication has been made to the director
general of railroads to renew last years
guarantee against loss in operation.
If this guarantee is not continued the
canal cannot earn operating expenses
owing to the increase in wages and the
higher cost of feed and other items.
This historical waterway was of par
tieular value during the past year in
bringing to the capital large part of
its coal supply from the Cumberland
field. The fact that this has been a
mild winter does not lessen the value
of this service. It would be a dan
gerous deprival of transportation IA
cilities to refuse the canal the guaran-
tee that is essential to it's maintenance,
for there can be no dependence upon
the next winter being as element as
that just closing. The canal should be
used to its maximum capacity and not
be abandoned.

witnessed it functioning, and saw it
totter to its fall.
He remained ON the scene in the
midst Of the wreck, and saw the strug-
gle made, first by one faction and then
by another, to set up new govern
ment and exercise power.
But more than this. Mr.. Francis
was not only on the scene, but trained
observer He was able to appraise what
was going on under his eyes. For we
have but to remember that he has been
governor of a state of the Union, and
q member of Presidents cabinet.
What might carry little of informa-
ton or instruction to an inexperi-
enced man might carry much of i'm
portance to him. He would know its
meaning and value from the view
point of government.
A great deal about the convulsion
in Russia has been communicated to
the American public, some of it from
chance travellers, some of it from per
sons on special journey for the pur-
pose, and some from frank and undis-
guised partisans Of this faction or that.
But. as a witness, Mr. Francis "holds
over" all these. He saw everything
"close up" As the American ambas-
sador he had exceptional opportunities
of observation, and, therefore, must
have accumulated much information in
which both Congress and the country
should find many valuable sugges-
tions.
In way, the Russian problem is
world problem. and as world problem
the United States is interested in it.
Today a dense fog envelops it; and
to the extent that AR. Francis can
clear the air he has the power to per-
form a very valuable public service.

No Local Legislation.

Congress adjourns today with the
smallest record of District legislation
ever written. Although many projects
and propositions Of immediate impor-
tanee have been pending affecting the
National Capital, the houses have vir-
tuaHy ignored them. No meeting of
the House District committee has been
held during the session which closed
today. No constructive local legisla-
ton of any kind has been enacted in
the course of the session. The women's
minimum wage law was the only act
of this character produced by the en-
tire Congress. The Salisbury resolu-
ton, designed as a cure for certain
housing evils when the congestion be-
came serious, has proved a doubtful
blessing. The government has under
taken certain housing measures, but
for its own uses and without reference
to local needs. Even the plan to per-
NIT the Commissioners to take over
the ash collections, shifted from the
District to the deficiency bill, fails in
the final jam. 1t is altogether a sorry
record of inaction and inattention to
the urgent needs of the District. A
long list of arrears has accumulated
and the District hopes for relief at
the next Congress.

Ambassador Francis and America

It is announced that "the Senate
committee investigating radical agita-
tion in the United States has tenta-
lively set Friday, March 7, for hearing
Ambassador Francis, who has recently
returned from Russia"
The appearance of Mr.. Francis at
home at this time is most fortunate,
and should be most helpful to right
understanding of the whole Russian
situation as America is interested. Let
US hope that the hearing may be thor
ough, and may embrace every feature
OF complex, and thus far battling
problem.
Mr.. Francis was in Russia when the
ear was dethroned. He had been COM
missioned to the czar's government,
and, as the American ambassador, had
had official relations with it. he had

March 4.

Automatically arises the thought that
this would be an ideal inauguration
day, that is for this season of the
year. 1t is, in fact, as fine a day
for an outdoor spectacle as ever
witnessed the ceremony of the induc-
tion of the President into Office. But
the fact that such days do occur on
March 4 does not justify the retention
of the date for the Inauguration. A
change should be had in the national
calendar. The spectacle presented at
the Capitol today, with fully half of
the essential business left unfinished
with the fall of the gavels at noon, is
an additional proof Of the urgent need
Of q longer period for transacting the
Evening star., 1919-03-04

congressional business in alternate
years. If the Inauguration were moved
to the last Thursday in April. as pro-
posed in constitutional amendments Of
fered in the past, there would be time
for all the requisite work of the two
houses without the rush and jam that
always attend the work on odd num-
bered years. This is too big country,
with too many interests and legislative
needs, to try to get its lawmaking work
done every other year within the few
weeks allotted under schedule de-
vised at the beginning. when the legis-
lative process was simple, the calendars
were short and the accomplishment of
all the requisite tasks was assured

Nothing But Junetime.

When We get all the cares Of this lit
tie world mended,
The cares that mankind has endured
for so long,
Still further our toll may be braveiy
extended
Till the universe yields only sun
shine and song.
The frown and the pailor of winter
have vanished
Whenever the south wind drew ten
derly near.
Let US hope for method to have win
ter banished,
And leave only Junetime throughout
the whole year.
We will search for an alchemist art
that discIoses
A way to change clouds into sun
shiny gold.
Diminutive snowfakes may burst into
With force all mysterious rightly
controlled.
The birds will be singing where all
was once dreary,
And frost shall not wither our hope
and our cheer.
The old world will never grow fretful
and weary
When there's nothing but Junetime
throughout the whole year.
