Berlin, Jan. 81 (via Copenhagen. Jan.
13) The governments decision that
the national convention shall be con-
INoked at Wemar. where it will open on
February 6. at the former Court Thea
tre. will meet with the fiercest opposition
from the whole Berlin press, except the
Socialist wing, while probably all the
provincial newspapers. except the Pan
German and other reactionary organs,
will support.
In deciding on weimar, the govern
ment has given way to the pressure of
the south German States and western
rrussian provinces, which wish the con-
vention to be removed as rar as possible
from the influence of the old Prussian
npirit. Much the same motive actuated
the revolutionaries of 1S4S in calling
their national convention at Frankfort
fon-the- Main.
a The government has made a public
statement, emphasizing tnat it has no
intention of displaying Berlin as the
seat Of the central government. and ex-

CHICKEN FEED"

Republican inability or unwill-

gency was never more brazenly
confessed than in a recent de-
bate in congress when Represen-
tative Mann, of Illinois, charac-
terized the legislation now on the
congressional calendar as "chick-
en- feed"
Mr.. Mann was republican
Ho use floor leader in the last
congress, and is his party's real
leader on the floor now. He
dominates the so-called steering
committee, which allows nothing
to get to the floor without the
Illinois statesman's o. K. Mr..
Mondell is leader in name only.

Wilson's adress to the joint ses'
sion of congress, when he re-
quested the immediate enactment
of legislation to strengthen his
hands in his fight to bring dowr

cue the people from the clutch
of the profteer, Mr.. Mann made
his striking and brazen character

MAIL LETTERS AT POSTOFFICE

fact that too many letters are
mailed each morning on the train

quence of which the mail has to
be carried back to Globe and

After three months legislative

because the country's needs de-

wait for their discharges. But
Graham guardian., 1919-08-29

1t is something else, ABOUT when
little is being heard, that the
soldier should wait upon the par
tisan expediency of a republican
congress for recognition and leg
islatlon to which he is entitled.
Mr.. Mann told the House the
other day it ought to have a va
cation and that there was moth
ing but chicken feed" on the
calendar at this time. What of
the Mondell bill incorporating
Secretary Lanes plan for re-
claiming land for soldiers? What
of the legislation to broaden and
assist the work of the soldiers
insurance company, the War
Risk Bureau? What of the Sweet
bill for insured soldiers? The
soldiers who couldn't be demobi-
lized speedily enough are now
waiting on the republicans, who
want to let committee hearings
turn into Rip Van Wrinkles while
the republican House takes a va
cation to bolster up its non-regu-
lation, non-functioniug House
machine.
There are thirteen republicans
and eight democrats-none of
them overlapping on the Public
Lands and the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committees,
respectively, making a total of
forty-two members of the House
who, at least, can not get away
at this time and do justice to the
soldiers. because one of these
committees has under considera-
ton the land reclamation plan
and the other the soldiers insur-
ance legislation. Must they de-
lay their reports until a republi-
can House has a vacation?
Representative Sweet, repub-
lican, of Iowa, has offered a bill
giving the soldier two years of
insurance free. Other bills have
been offered that would establish
home buying credits for the SOL
diers. Floor Leader Mondell has
offered the Land Reclamation
bill-all these are in committee
and some of them do not stand

other heinous trick partisan re
publicans can think of, at least
show a more generous record.
The democrats enacted the insur.
ance act; they gave the man
coming out of service at least {
$50 bonus at a time when the
present deprecated value of
money was not forseen; they
have granted the insured soldier
an eighteen months grace or
Ilapsed insurance policies; they
gave him the vocational training
act and the disabilities compen
