A SUBSCRIBING CONGRESS-.

It will not do for Congress to content itself
the complaint that the Presidents message
fails to point out practical legislative rem&aae1a
for existing ills. A disappointing message would
be nothing strange, for the President is stu 81
man, but even with the President at his best
a coordinate legislative branch of the Govern
ment should not wait to be told what to do and
how to do it. This is particularly true of a ma
iority of the opposition party, which usually is
.rdisposed to be guided by Executive recommen-
dations and in any case is supposed to have a
constructive program of its own. Has the Re-
publican majority a constructive programme of
it's own? If it had during the extra session, it
was highly successful in keeping ,such a pro-
gramme secret. If the regular session is as dis
appointing in constructive legislation as the ex-
ira session was, the country will be disappointed
indeed.
According to David Lawrence, non-partisan
Washington correspondent, Congress would like
to side-step'' the menacing domestic problems
that call for solution. The cost of living and tax
es need to be reduced, the coal question and the
strike mania in general need to be effectively
dealt with, and there are several other scarcely
less pressing problems demanding attention.
"What about the leaders of the Republican part
"" writes Mr.. Lawrence, .who feel in the pres
ent session of Congress they must make good
the pledges they made in the 1918 campaign to
reduce taxes? There is grave doubt whether they
can do So" But both the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are industriously preparing for the Presl-
Dental campaign of 1920" The countrys press
ing needs of the hour receive less attention than
the means to capture or retain office next year
Such is the unwelcome picture given OF Washing
ton TODAY and a similar picture is outlined in all
the other accounts, between the lines at least.

Judge McNeille of the Philadelphia Women's
Misdemeanant Court reports for the first three
months of war time prohibition a decrease of rs
per cent in the number of alcoholic women cases
and an increase of 62 per cent in the number of
addicts to narcotic drugs. The evil of intemper-
ance being checked in one direction seems to
have found a vent in another.

After a referendum in which the "wets' poll
ed the most votes Ohio has notified the Federal
State Department of the recall of the action of
it's legislature in r~atifying the prohibition amend
ment. Though a referendum in some of the 9th
er States might also result in recall, there are at
present more than enough notifications left to
safeguard the amendment.

1t is to be hoped that the regular session of
Congress will do much that the extra session left
undone. In calling the latter more than six mon
tbs ago the President urged that the problems
of reconstruction be taken up, but nothing came
of it. Daylight saving was repealed to please the
farmers and against the will of the towns. Pro-
hibition was enacted, cutting down the govern
ments' revenues enormously and creating a new
host of tax-consumers. The treaty of peace was
discussed to a deadlock. But virtually all the pro-
blems of reconstruction following a war which
still technically exists, as well as a number OF
pressing domestic problems, are still awaiting
consideration.

TO CLASSIFY COTTON ON FUTURE CON-
TRACTS.

The boards of cotton examiners of the Bureau
of Markets at New York and New Orleans will,
under certain conditions, examine samples of cot
ton and furnish preliminary classification of
such samples to shippers and others interested,
according to an announcement from the U. S. De-
%partment of Agriculture.
Copies of the new regulations providing for
this service and of the form of application blank
which must be used in submitting the samples
may be obtained from the board of cotton exam
iners of the Bureau of Markets, located at New
Orleans in the Abraham Building, or at New York
at 81 Cotton Exchange Building. The service vii.
be given to any shipper or other person who owns,
controls or has the disposition of cotton and who
contemplates rendering it on a future contract
made on a future exchange at New York or New
Orleans, subject to the United States Cotton Flu
lures Act.
Through this new service, says the bureau, it
will be possible for the owner of cotton to learn
how the official cotton standards of the United
States are applied by the Government boards OF
cotton examiners and to form an opinion as to the
classification of his cotton and the best DISPOSE
ton to make of it, before submitting it for the in
s%pecton, sampling and handling necessary to make
an actual tender on a future contract. A charge
of thirty cents a bale will be made for each sample
classed by boards of cotton examiners.

CANDIDATES FOR
DERBY ARE FIT
War Pennant Only Crack
/ 3-Year-Old to Make
Poor Showing.

New York. April Z.-AIthough
the running Of the Kentucky Derby
sun Is more than three weeks
away, most of the prominent can
oldates have been. seen under col
ors, So far there have been few
upsets' most OF the good ones COM
ing back to the form they displayed
last season.
This is particularly true Of the
Two horses most in the public eye
biny Kelly and Eternal. These two
were such close rivals last wear thai
even their match race late in the
iaii, in which Eternal won by a
head, failed to settle the question
OF superiority.
So far as actual racing is con-
cerned Billy Kelly has shown the
most noteworthy performance. The
gslded son of Dick welIes has been
out twice, winning both times, in
good company. Eternal has raced
only once, and although he won in
common gallop the horses that
hnished behind him were not of the
highest caliber.
In Billy kelly's first effort this sea-
son he disposed of such good older
horses as Pickwick, Charley Leydecker
and DIR. johnson over the five and a
halt furlong route. The race was
run over muddy track and the little
gelding won with ease. Last Saturday
Billy Kelly disposed of Charley Ley
decker, Star Hampton. High Cost and
several other good ones. This tins
Billy Kelly won only by a head. but
the closeness of the finish was the
result of carelessness on the part OF
Jockey Sande.
Sande is mere youngster. lie
rode his first winner at the start OF
last season: I'm one year he became a
star rider. But like all inexperienced
youngsters, he is prone to be careless
and to make serious mistakes at crit
ical times. His recent exhibition on
Billy Kelly indicates that il was
Sande's poor work in the saddle that
tossed off the victory in that match
race at Laurel.
In his one race this year Eternal
defeated Docod. Drummond, Skye-Bs!
and others OF like caliber. This was
not a serious test. but there is nc
doutr that the son of Sweep is in
great shape. His Horkouts in private
have been OF the sensational order
and already he has been sent over the
Derby distance.
War Pennant. stablemate OF Billy
Kelly, is the only Derby candidate to
run below his last years form. Many
good judges of horsefiesh were of the
opinion that this big son OF Jim GafI-
ney might prove to be a better 3-year.
