Night Sessions Of Congress.

Night sessions as a cOercive meas
ure rarely. if ever, produce the best re
suits on Capitol Hill. They are vel
coined by visitors-particularl out-of
town visitors. The Capitol "all lit up
presents beautiful picture. Drowsy
legislators routed out OF bed. or frown
ing legislators interrupted at tooth
some dinners. when brought into the
chamber by officials lend comedy to
the proceedings. And then those who
are on deck plugging away in q SORT
of desperation affect the risibles Of the
galleries.
But Congress does not sit for enter
tainment purposes. It's business IL OF
a serious character. and especially
when questions Of revenue are under
consideration. The pocket nerve, as
all are aware. is extremely sensitive,
and needs to be touched with care.
Hence. legislators. senators and rep
resentatives. should be fresh and in
keller for their work. The test should
be intellectual. not physical. Jaded
men, no matter how able. do not give
a good account Of themselves.
The business before Congress now
and that to follow. should be transact.
ed with everybody alert and at his
best. There is not q commonplace
measure on the sessions card. All
have to do with the rehabilitation OF
the country, which men Of both parties
should wish to see accomplished at az
early q time as possible.
The only limit to the present session
is the beginning Of the regular session
But no time should be wasted on ir'
relevancies. or on mere partisan man
coverings. Business, and business
alone, should be the watchword at
both ends of the Capitol.

The Virginia Campaign.

In The stars Speclal from Hlcn'
mond, published yesterday, about the
progress of the Virginia campaign,
the statement was made that while
the democratic managers are confident
of success, the party has been aroused
as not before in years.
This is due to the canvass the re-
publican candidate for governor has
been making. Col. Anderson is q ma
tive Of the state. stands high as a
man, is open and aggressive in de-
bate. and has had something Of inter-
est to ~. to the people about the po-
litical issues Of the day. The voters
have come out to hear him. Even in
localities strongly democratic. and
where there is no hint Of change
this year, the republican candidate
has had respectful attention. The
voters have shown a desire to hear the
other side of issues presented by their
leading representative.
This is all to the good. The two
party government is the strong gov
ernment. AS there are two sides to all
questions, and particularly political
questions, both sides should be pre-
sented in every appeal for control Of
public affairs. Where that is done the
people vote with full Information. and
their decision when rendered is en-
titled to the higher consideration by
reason of the fact.
In every state there should be at
least two party organizations, with
good men in charge and in earnest,
and party work kept strictly up to
date. In no other way can the best
results be secured. or the people kept
In to the mark Of the best citizenship.

Halloween.

This evening a multitude Of strange
creatures. will make their appearance
upon the streets of Washington.
There will be soblins, fairies. gnomes,
pixies. elves. each one seeming a
bit self.conscious in the costume that
custom has decreed for it. but each
determined to get the most possible
fun out Of an evening given over to
merriment. 1t is Halloween.
Underneath those costumes, behind
those false faces, will be Johnny and
Mary and Betty and Benny and Sue.
Mephisto will resolve himself into
nothing more terrible than sleepy
Billy when the evening is over and
the fun has worn itself out. So let the
children play.
Halloween does for the little ones
something of the same sort Of thing
that the motor car and the theater do
for their elders more frequently. 1t
allows them to escape from them
selves for awhile. and be participants
in romance. Every step outside the
house this evening will be adventure.
The bad boys blowing putty blowers,
despite the Cops" will add spice.
There is pretty certain to be an over
turning Of garbage cans in back yards.
Halloween. as it occurs in Washing
ton nowadays. has much to commend
it to those who have not lost touch
with youth. Like Christmas. it comes
but once a year. being anticipated
with joy and celebrated with hilarfty.
II there are those who cannot respond
to this happy mood. let them stay at
home with their pipe and book. nor
be too hasty to answer the door bell.

SHOOTING STARS.

Ny grandsire worked eight hours
day,
And sometimes ten or twelve.
All cheerfully he went his way
In yonder field to delve.
In few debates would he engage
And yet he reached a good old age.
My grandsire had no words Of hate
For plutocratic pride.
He soundly slept and roundly ate
The Scriptures were his guide.
He read no propaganda sage;
And yet he reached a good old age.
His entertainment was but slight.
Before he went to bed
He read q text by candfelight
And then his prayers he said.
His name adorned no social page;
And yet he reached a good old age.

Fall set plants will produce a ght crop next spring, but they should not be permitted to bear much. The spring set crop should be put out about the first of March, or as soon as the land can be made ready. Spring set plants will bear lightly. but, they should not be permitted to bear but little The heavy crop will be gotten the year following from both fall and spring set plants.
 Fall set plants may be set in rows feet wide and 15 inches apart in the drill, which will require about 10- coo plants per acre.

Morrilton. Oct 2-The Morrilton Cotton Compress Company's plant here suffered a loss estimated at ap- proximately $2,OO0000 tonight when lightning struck one of the three sec [ ons and set it afire about 6:l9 o'clock. The west and south sections. housing 16.O00 bales of cotton, were destroyed. The east section, housing the compress machinery and 3p" bales of cotton, was only slightly damaged. Most of the cotton de stroyed was from last years crop
 Paul Hargis, aged 2S, proprietor of local tailoring establishment, and George Scanton, aged about 30, also of Morilton, were seriously injured when a falling smokestack struck them Hargis the more seriously hurt, was taken to the Jones Mobley hospital, where it was said late to- night he would recover. He suffered severe scalp wound.
 Other Plants Threatened
 The Planters gin and the Morril- ton Ice and Fuel Company's plant, situated near the compress, escaped damage The new grandstand at the baseball park near the scene of the confagration and several residences in the vicinity also were saved. al- though the fire threatened them until it was gotten under control about s o'clock.
 X heavy rain which began falling short time before the fire broke out proved of little assistance to the volunteer fire department. The blaze started in Warehouse No. ?, and spread rapidly, aided by a h'gh wind from the northeast. The water pres sure was good, but the firemen fought an uphill battle with the flames from the start. The intense heat forced them to keep their distance.
