CONGRESSIONAL BUSINESS.

Legislation is piled up IN Washing
ton awaiting action in such volume
that it will never be possible TO dis
pose of it at the present session. 1t
is not a situation due to the war, it is
not a situation which was not fully
anticipated months ago for it is
condition which is very likely to be
encountered. Regardless of the fact
that previous congresses have faced
the same predicament, with the stack
of legislation containing many impor-
tant measures and appropriation bills
which should be passed in order to
Permit the government machinery to
keep in motion, it seems to have little
or no effect
Procrastination is apt to be n con-
sressional characteristic. Matters are
allowed to drift along with little or
no consideration given to the import
ance of disposing of the business and
it is Invariably the case that the last
few days finds bills being railroaded
through without regard for what is
being done. when if they only leceiv-
ed the right attention when the time
was to be had for due elaboration
| there would not be SO much Of the
half baked legislation that is con-
/ stantly a source of annoyance and
! complaint. This is particularly true
OF the short sessions and the situa-
! ton today only adds to the many ~
| stances where similar conditions have
| prevailed.
When it comes to the matter of con-
| servation about which so much has
| been said in the past few years, it is
/ perfectly apparent that congress has
an opportunity to put soma valuable
thought on the saving of time, and
what is true of the national legisla-
ture is invariably true of state legis-
, latures.
1t is highly probable that the situa-
ton which exists today is going te
have strong influence upon the calling
Of an extra session, whether in a few
weeks or few months, but the unfor-
tUnate part of it is that early and need
ed action upon several vital matters
had to depend upon the failure, inten-
tional or otherwise, of the present
congress to take care of it's regular
business when 1t should have beer
| done

MAKE sAFEeuARps-apEouAr

Disclosures have been made which
show that there cannot be too much
effort put forth In safeguarding those
who have been vested with high gov
eminent authority, for regardless If
the fact that there will be others who
will take the place Of any who may
be picked off by an assassin's bullet
or bomb there are those who are pos
sessed of the idea that the only way
reforms can be brought about is to
disregard constituted law and order
and proceed to get control Of affairs
through the avenue of terror
The necessity for exercising every
precaution, while advisable at all
times, was never better emphasized
than right now when nations are I'M
dergoing a readjlstment and recon-
struction. It gives the opportunity
which is desired by the dangerous
element to get in its undetermined
work, to set forth the most radical
and menacing IDEAS and to work for
unrest rather than an adjustment. 1t
is thus q time wher. a firm rather than
q tolerant stand should be taken
against such trouble makers. It is
bad enough when any body made up
largely of aliens set about an crgau-
lied effort to cause industrial Unrest,
but when plans are made for not only
destroying property but taking life
Il is time that steps were taken which
would promptly rid the nation of such
an element.
It is IL to be supposed that due
recognition has ror been given to the
dangers whicn surround the president
at the present time, both while he IS
at home AMI abroad, but with the at
tempt on the life of Premier Clemen-
ceau, the rounding up of Philadel-
rhia and New York gangs with anar-
chistic tendencies and the appearance
OF an individual looking for the chief
executive with concealed weapon the
Importance of increasing the vigil
| lance cannot be overlooked. Every
possible step should be taken to re-
! duce to the minimum the risk which
those in high places are mourning, an6
it can be appreciated that the meas
ures in behalf of safety better be too
| great than too small.
