hARDINS FAVORABLE TO CHANGE
President -elect Harding himself
may give the cue which may cause
Republican leaders to shirt back
from the present compromise to the
traditional fiscal plan as soon As
possible. It is possible that the
change may be effected at the COM

the appropriation. bills for the fiscal
year come up.
The attitude Of the House leaders
In decreeing the abolition OF the

ration, as they are likely to do. All
OF the leading Republicans In the
Senate, including Senators warren,

are time -honored advocates Of the
half-and- half. Some Of the strong
Republicans in the House. also. are
vigorous champions of II. despite the
fact that they were outmaneuvered
in the parliamentary strategy OF last
spring when the Senate was forced
to adopt the compromise offered by
the House conferees which finally
went into the District bill.
President elect Harding's attitude
toward Washington has always been
one OF extreme cordiality and friend
ship. He has never countenanced the
arguments of those who would adopt
a niggardly, cheese-paring policy in
the development of the National Cap
ital, and although the powers that
be" on questions of appropriations
are likely to institute policy or
rigid budgetary economy from the

handicaps on the residents OF the

trict appropriation bill. 1t is not
likely that local legislation will have
any place at the coming short ses-
sion of Congress.
Attempts will be made to enact
some new housing and rental legis-
lation, but in advance Of the United
States Supreme Court's decision as
to the constitutionality Of the Ball
act, It is not probable that Congress
will attempt any additional legisla-
ton. II the Ball act Is constitu-
tional no further legislation Is
needed outside of number OF
amendments perfecting the act. II
it Is unconstitutional an entirely
new law is needed.
While the whole local realty situa-
tion probably will be aired in COM
mittee hearings directly after Con-
Eress reconvenes 1t Is not probable
that any tangible result will follow
in advance Of Supreme Court action.

on scientific investigation and data.
Science has ever been the hand
maiden of religion" says DR.. Barrett.
The more IL advances, the clearer
becomes our conception of Bible truth.
"As a man thinketh in his heart. so
is he.' Once many may have doubted
this statement as being anything
hyperbole or poetic license. Now we
know that thought creates. Science
made us realize that immaterial forces
create material forms.

But what is spiritual and what is

immaterial? who can point to the
dividing liner Perhaps Mr.. Edison
may. I hope SO. But even should he
succeed, we, who believe because Of
our intuitive teachings. would not ex-

for an offensive against enemies in
the new Administration, it was
learned today.
Although Federation circles are
far from joyful over Tuesdays re-

things may not look so bad when
complete returns from Congressional
elections are received"
The Federation, carrying out its

didates for Congress, ii was pointed
out today. and some officials express.
ed the opinion that the new Congress
may be more friendly than the pres
ent one.
The campaign phillipics OF the Fed:
Grafton were chiefly directed against
President-elect Harding. although
statements Of Samuel Gompers were
generally interpreted as Reputation
OF the entire Republican party. The
veteran head Of the Federation SO
far has refused to comment on the
election.
There will be a general rallying OF
labor forces to fight any repressive
measures that may be introduced in
the new Congress. They are already
