A MAKESHIFT CONGRESS
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the CINCINNATI Enquirer
The public. will have to accept the revised
revenue bill as the best result that could be
expected from the present Congress. Appar-
emily this is the view taken of the measure by
the President when he gave it his signature. 1t
is what was in the minds of few of the sena-
tors and representatives who gave it the sup
port of their votes in it's last stages.
1t will not be overlooked, however, that
Congress after months of effort, by the admis-
sion of the chairman of the Senate finance
committee which is responsible for it in that
body, has produced nothing but a 'makeshift,'
with promise that the next session will try
to evolve better measure. To this it may be
retorted that the outlook is not for anything
better from this Congress at any session, I'M
less it is renovated and reconstructed in mind
and heart.
The industrial interests, for which more
relief expected in fulfillment of campaign
promises and in order to lift the depression
under which business is tagging, are not blind
to the influences that combined against the
aims of the administration. Outstanding is
the agricultural bloc minority faction just
strong enough to effect a selfish purpose by
combining with other minority cliques in con-
spiracy thus made numerically adequate to
override the administration.
Thus this "makeshift" measure is the crea-
ton of minorities which have sacrificed pros
perity and the unemployed of the country on
the altar of spite and selfish greed It will
leave nothing from the low profits of this year
with which to replenish capital in industry for
next year. The great manufacturing interests
which have been compelled to pass dividends
this year to conserve their working strength
must wait for that rehabilitation until the long
deferred fulfillment of the promises of last
year and the lifting of the excess profits and
transportation taxes year hence.
In plain words the whole of this year is lost
to productive industry so far as gathering
strength for the coming year is concerned.
There is little but the experience, and that
will not be forgotten. There is only the new
year to look forward to with its larger promise
although God alone knows what this Congress
may do at its next session to dispel what en-
enlargement there now is in the outlook.

SUCCESS OF THE CONFERENCE
DEPENDS ON JAPAN

The American people have recently learned
much about Japan. The arms conference
caused magazine editors to publish many in
structive articles about nation which until re-
cent times was an unknown quantity. The
newspapers have helped considerably to spread
information and to certain extent the Japan
ese themselves have added to the general store
of knowledge, although great deal of propa-
ganda has come out of Toxic that should be
discounted.
As result of the intensive study to which
Japan has been subjected, her diplomats are
having difficulty in supporting their claims in
Washington to larger navy than is provided
for under Secretary Hughes 1913" pro-
is safe from aggression as long as she chooses
to mind her own business Her place in the
far east is supreme. The navies of America
and Great Britain do not menace her there, ani
to fear. Japan is groaning under tremendous
tax burden as the result of her militaristie
policy. To insist on continuation of this pol
icy, when she has an opportunity to devote more
of her energies to the arts of peace, is con-
fession that miltarism and dreams Of conquest
are still paramount among her elder statesmen.
Another fact which has created suspicion of
Japans sincerity is the oft repeated state
ment that her people are badly crowded ana
must have an outlet for colonization-as in Cal
ifornia, Hawaii and elsewhere. Statistics show,
however, that Japans density of population is
less than that of number of European coun-
tries. By becoming strictly an industrial ma
ton, instead of miitartistc one, Japan could
easily support millions more people comfortably
without single Japanese being forced to leave
his native land Japanese immigration has al
ways been small, mere handful compared to
that Of other nations. If Japan is not over
crowded, her colonization plans are not due to
economic necessity, and if she is the recognized
mistress of the far east and the dominant power
in Asia, the program of Secretary Hughes
will give her navy adequate for all her legiti-
mate needs and insure her protection.
Dispatches from Washington indicate that
Japan will eventually accept the Hughes pro-
posals. Possibly the attitude of her diplomats
may be due to political pressure at home and
desire to make test of American and British
sentiment. If Japan had the latter purpose IN
view she has received her answer in unequivocal
terms. America will not yield, and Great Brit
ain supports her. A refusal would mean isola-
ton for Japan. She has too much at stake to
enter upon that course now.

OMISSION

Margaret Widdemer, in Harper's.
Poor soul! You never could be friends with me;
You never cuold be friends with any one
And yet you sought for friendship feverishly,
And love and praise, till praise and love were
done.
You offered laughter, passion, briliancy,
And sang and leaped before us like child
Who tugs his mothers skirts with, "Se! oh,
seev'
And stamps with rage when she is not be-
guiled.
You watched the world give lightly everywhere.
The things your proud pains could not buy
keep
/ think the grass that blows above your hair.
3 Must hear your angry sobbing in your sleep.
You thought we did not know that striving
there,
Still one small gift, too proud, you held
apart,
And never learned why we could never care.
You never stopped to offer men your heart.

Wise men cultivate the art of taking things

If you are ashamed of your calling hire

There are more ways than one for woman
to have her own way.
After hearing some men talk you are sur

Even your worst enemy probably has no
idea how mean you could be if you wanted to-.
One man believes everything he hears;
another doesn't believe anything he hears
Both are foolish.

TWO KINDS OF HOGS

"The END seat hog at church, theatre or
public hail. or on the train has nothing on the
fellow who persists in standing in the front
of one of the safety cars and cody looks out
of the window while the passengers have to
reach around him to deposit their fare" said
Scion Jacobs.
"There might be some excuse for boy to
do such thing, as every kid likes to be near
the motorman and watch him run the car,
but for a grown man to be guilty of such a
thing is either pure thoughtlessness or an utter
disregard for the comfort and convenience Of
others. It's alright to do it when the car is
crowded, but when there are vacant seats every
passenger ought to occupy one"

PIGEON COLONY

"The greatest pigeon colony in the Birming-
ham district is at the Brown-Marx building
said w. H. Suydam. "Many of them build their
nests in the awnings 10 to Ia stories above the
ground The inner court is filled with them
all day long. The office men have made pets
of them and clerks give part of their lunches
to the birds You have no idea how quickly
they discover these rations.
"The pigeons not molested by occu-
pants of the building, and having discovered
this, the wild and homeless ones of the district
have established it as their refuge and play
and raise their young there. Every once in
while nice fat pair of squads is gotten out Of
one of the awning nests"

Home Ownership
aistsssbtssttttsu

Home ownership has its influence on public affairs of the community. A man who does not own property is apt to show an influence in public affairs in proportion to his lack of investment. Let man ac- quire home, and see the difference in his attitude. A real home is an inspiration. It is an incentive to good citizenship, an anchor for the family, and finally corner stone of the community's life and solidity.

A CHURCH ON WHEELS

ways managed to make it," states
Rev. Williams.
This house on wheels contains
every convenience and its equip
ment is complete. All the cooking
is done on gasoline stove in the
rear of the truck. All of the heavy
baggage is carried underneath,
and in this way remarkably even
balance has been maintained. A
curtain divides the truck into two
compartments. There are not only
chairs, hunks and carpets on the
floor, but there is even a good size
dresser and large oil stove In
addition to the gasoline stove.
According to Rev. Williams his
Speed Wagon was not only his
home, but he used it extensively
in his religious work. The body
was designed and built according
to specifications which he himself
drew up and he states that it has
come up to his expectations in ey-
cry sense of the word.
In speaking of the trip from the
Pacific coast Rev. Williams recalls
many interesting incidents. The
accounts of his experiences would
make excellent fiction. He has
travelled in practically every stat9
and he says his Speed Wagon has
created unusual attention and IA
vorable comment wherever he has
been.
Another significant statement
winch Rev. Williams makes in
commenting upon the performance
OF his Speed Wagon is to the eff
feet that a total of 300 miles
took only 22O hours of travelling
time.
