The Problems Of Congress-.
In congress, the main questions
relate to expenditures, to taxation, to
the cost of living, and TO something
to be done in recognition OF the soil

of the way for the next few months.

back to where they were when the
government, took them over for the

Everybody In congress wants to do
something for the soldiers, but thnye
are wiIe Emergencies OF opinion a. %
what should be done and how It
should be accomplished. The one
thing all are intent upon Avoiding Is
to take action which might result in
Iaccentuating the present financial and
taxation system and lead to further
imitation Of credits, with consequent
pyramiding Of the cost living.
The stern fact which faces congress
is that the normal expenditures for
the support Of the government, all
though cut to the bone, are SO enor-
nous as TO require continuance of
extraordinary taxation for 4 long per
Tod to come, and TO warn against add
ing TO them materially. Mono of the.
statesmen and financiers In congress-
sees hope for material reduction Of
taxes, and consequently leaseninEApf

Congress Is striving to clear up the
work OF the session 30 as to adjourn
early In June and let everybody get
home to take care Of their own poiit-
ical fences. The enactment Of the
necessary appropriation bills WIN con-
sumo most Of this time. with o few
general measures edged in between

session viii be productive OF very
much general legislation, therefore,

A VISION OF FREEDoM.

In the wild scramble for the train,
following the mysterious summons
from the hospital. both Alison and
her mother completely forgot Bar
bara Wade. packing her effects in
high dudgeon in the guest room.
1t was not until they were climb
Ing into the hastily summoned taxi
CAP TO get to the station, adjusting
furs and gloves as they went that
Mrs. Atherton remembered their
irate cousin.
Barbara will never forgive US
for rushing of like this without
telling her. Do you suppose we
ought to ask her to come II your
father isis
IF he Is" said Alison deliberate
ly, sensing her unfinished thought.
"about the worst thing that could
happen to him would be to loose
Cousin Barbara upon him. People
should be Permitted to die in peace
at least"
Mrs. Atherton touched her hand
kerchief to her eyes.
You speak rather callously, ALI
son. After all. he's your father"
Alison shrugged.
Granting that. ] don't believe
owe him very much consideration,
do you? Why is IL, mother, that
people think they can hurt you. ig-
more you, make you suffer every
humiliation-and then command
your respect and affection just be-
cause they are dying? But ! don't
mean to be hard with regard to my
father. l think poor father has
cancelled a lot OF his debt to US
through his loneliness of late. There
has been something pathetic in his
very jauntiness. He has reminded
me Of someone whistling in the
dark to keep up his courage"
The taxi deposited them at the
station just as the train was ready
to pull out. They hurried up the
nearest car and sank breathles'
into the first vacant seat.
Looking up, they discovered
themselves confronting Mrs. Os-
borne. and Jane Wardwell.
To Alison's surprise both these
ladies greeted them cordislly-al-
most with enthusiasm.
Aren't you a bit late going down
town." inquired Jane pleasantly
while Mrs. Osborne smiled sweetly
upon her daughter-in-law.
I'VE might say the same of you"
Alison replied.
II was evident that Jane was
fairly bursting with important
news. Plainly she could not keep
1t to herself longer.
I'VE are going to town to see
about our reservations for Ber-
muda," she announced.
Bermuda" echoed Alison in
amazement. That's where Fannie
and Mr.. Edwards are going on their
honeymoon, isn't itT'
Jane giggled.
Were going too. Alice and /.
Fannie's not a young bride, you
know, and we think she ought to
have a family along to chaperone
her. Resides, she's been with us
so long, I'm sure she'd die of loneli-
ness without u.s."
Alison turned away to hide a
smile, but there was resentment in
