cooperate, this coming session might De
an extremely useful One.
The source from whome the sigma Tor
mis- generous spirit ought to come Is o.
vIously President Wilson. He has the
more exalted position that makes such a
gesture graceful. Also. the ttrst move
is his. He will open the coming session
with the usual address. That ADDRESS
will be- his last message OF the klnd. II
he has in him the spirit to do SO, he
might make that message not only MS
toric but useful. The fear is, however
that he will bc disposed TO make 1t more
the former than the latter. more dis,
posed TO keep his personal record
raiEh for history than TO help the
people out OF their present troubles.
u course il would be too much TO eN-
pcCt the President at this closing hour
To change his position on the League OF
Nations. however clear II must De 10
others that his position on that point Is
disapproved by the people. But conced-
Ing him that. he might say to congress
that he recognizes and admits tho YER
dict Of the election, and that as regaruS
domestic matters he stands ready 10
facilitate rather than hinder the ihlen-
tons of congress-.
What Some G.. o. p. Leaders Propose.
The second element that tends TO make
the coming session less fruitful in re-
suits is the attitude OF some ltcpuollcan
leaders.
These leaders take the position that
the country has expressed its disap-
prevail OF the present administrator
and its t~horough-golng wish for q ne"
deal all around. Under these circurl'
stances. this Eroup OF Republican lead
crs claim that the present short seS'
sion should contine itself TO merely
routine matters and beyond that shQuiC
, merely marke time until March !. Inc
Republican leaders who hold this view
are by no means alone. 49,.
There iS another grOup oil iepODl!-
can leaders who think the coming srs'
sion is n time for marked energy. They
think that economic conditions are
such as call for prompt action. They
be given . sign Of what is to be done
along the Lines OF taxation. the tariff
and other factors affecting business
several OF these Republican leaders
haze Il program something like the 100
lowing:
They think that President-lrct Hard
ing should announce his abino within
Tn. next two or three weeks: especially
do they think that he should name III:
secretary OF state and his secretary Of
the treasury. They take IL for granted
that the names Of these two 2ppointces
# given to the public. would carry re.
assurance. They think the names "onid
carry reinsurance by the confidence th(
public would rave in the men them
selves. and also BY tho sign which tle
public would get OF what Is to be thc
policy for the future as regards Foreign
and fiscal matters.
Farther h his. these Republican
LEADERS, believe that the finance commit

ONE UNDERPAID OFFICIAL

This is not a time to be talking about
increased salaries for federal employees,
but II there be one whose condensation
is obviously too low. It Is the vice
president. This official. who IS the pre-
siding officer in the United States sem
ate, and who might at any time become
the head Of the nation. is paid but s1c,-
900 a year. while the president receives
$4,000.
The vice presidents social status IS
such that he must spend considerable
money. Furthermore, while the presi-
dent gets the White House free OF
charge as living quarters. the vice presi-
dent has to rent or buy a house out Of
his own pocket. That, at least. should
be changed. The vice presidency Is a
position of great national dignity and
should not be demeaned by such a
meagre salary.

ENGLISH SERGEANT BRINGS BRIDE
 HERE TO LIVE

Having completed five consecutive years of gallant service with the Brit ish army during. which he, participat-, ed in nearly every decisive battle in the great world war, Sergeant George Henry Hor of Snodland. Kent, Eng and, has arrivedrin this country with his bride as the guest of his brother, Sidney Hor, of Huntington Road, Stratfordy Tn .Isoldier's visit here not only fixes a conclusion to his honey moon trip but has so caused him to give up all intentions and desires of ever returning to England for per manent residence. I'm bloomin' country here andsshope to become good citizen" said the war hero in fascinating typical English accent
 / Sergeant HOT voluntarily enlisted as a stretcher bearer in August, 1914, immediately after war was declared between Great Britain and Germany and he was in continuous service un- til April 1919, the time of his dis charge. His eagerness to get into action brought him to Dickybush, six miles from Ypres where he join ed forces in relief of the French troops who had been doing strenuous defensive work for days without sleep and heroically holding their position agannst the terrific German on- slaught. After encountering the many hardships that followed his as- signment to this important sector ad- vices were received that reinforce ments were on the way and a march was started for the Somme front. Sergeant Hor states words cannot de- scribe the terrible things that oc- cured at; this point from the rapid shell fire and gas attacks. Tt would be necessary for us to carry the wounded three miles at times unless we sc0iI1d administer treatment to them at quarters especially provided in the communication trenches In many eases wounded soldiers would succumb to their injuries before we
