THE REPUBLICAN, CONGRESS

THE REPUBLICAN, CONGRESS
It should not be forgotten that the
last sitting congress was republican in
both the house and senate. Excerpts
from some of the leading papers of the
country in relation to that Congress,
follow:
- If adjournment is taken in June,
the Republican party will have to 60
into the presidential campaign con-
f1oated by the necessity of lodging or
apologizing for the sorriest record ever
made by Congress in recent years. ~

1.-THE present Congress has failed US
in mtelig gent comprehension of every
great question affecting the lives and
the welfare Of our people. It
has failed with completeness and aban-
don. - Samuel Gompers.
"That Congress has not only wasted
weeks Of precious time while the world
has waited for such relief as only Amer
lean legislators could afford, and has
displayed degree of willfulness and
sel6shness which has astonished and
embarrassed the nation, seems beyond
question. ''-Chirstian Science Monitor.

The President succeeded on this
occasion because he acted without sense
and without constraint in panorama
that was gotten up more for the benefit
of his party than for the glory of the
Nation and the honor Of the dead. We
pass over the silly remarks CT the Pres
ident; for the credit of the Nation we
are willing that the veil of oblivion
shall be dropped over them and that
they shall no more be repeated or
thought OFF, This sounds like some Of
the clustering remarks of President
Wilson s worst enemies-but it is: not.
It is reprint of an editorial that ap.
peared in the Harrisburg Patriot and

the effort to justify itself for having

GOV. cox AND TIE CHILDREN

It was under Governor Cox s admin
istration that Ohio adopted the moth
ers' pension system, enabling poor wild
ows to keep their children in their
homes instead Of having the little ones
placed in orphan institutions. The first
tax for this purpose was one-tenth Of a
mill; it has now been increased to one
fifth of a mill. Orphan asylums, how
ever, were not neglected.
Governor Cox's attitude was ex'
pressed in his message as follows:
"No matter how complete be the
institution, no matter how. humane be
it's management and no matter how
efficient its training bureau, it can
never approach in benefit that which
comes in the >child's own home at the
knee of the child g own mother.'
Ohio has an effective bureau of ju-
venile research, established by Gov
ernor Cox's administration, under
which the moral, mental and physical
wants Of the children are looked after
and cared for. This bureau has de-
monstrated remarkable usefulness.

DRY LAW IS EXPENSIVE
$4,000, 900 Voted BY Congress
Last Year Almost Gone.
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer u
Handicapped Because Of !.
Lack Of Funds.

Washington cost of prohibition
enforcement already threatens to
mount. The $4,5o0,o0o which was
voted by Congress for the conduct Of
the departments last year is showing
signs of depletion, and 1t is understood
that when John F. Kramer, prohibition
commissioner, submits his budget for
the next year. the money that he will
ask for will be nearer $10,000,000. ::
Prohibitionists in their fight for the
adoption of the Eighteenth amendment
always disparaged the assertions ,o1
their opponents that the enforcement
Of prohibition not only would deprive
the treasury of revenue, but add a con-
siderable burden on the taxpayers.
Events have proved that the prohib:
itionists underestimate the task be-
fore the enforcement division. Mr.
Kramer has repeatedly declared he has
been handicapped by the fact that he
has not been able to get as many men
as he needed and every item that has
entered into the work Of his depart
ment has far exceeded the figures
originally estimated by the prohibition
lists. -
Phe money asked for will have to be
approved by David F. Houston, secre
tary of the treasury, before it reaches
Congress, but it is believed to be the
present plan of treasury officials to
pass the matter squarely up to Con
gress with the statement that Con
gress will lave to appropriate the
amount asked or accept the blame fol
the failure to enforce the law to the
utmost.
