Mr.. sle,np to Retire.

Representative Siemp Of Virginia
declares: Under no circumstances
can or will make the race for Con-
gress again" Ill health and overWork
are given as the reason.
Does this insure a solid democratic
delegation from the Old Dominion to
the next House? Mr.. slemp's district
the ninth-has long been the only
republican district in the state. He
has been q power there for years. and
recognized as one Of the leading re.
pablicans of the south. In the first
speculation about Mr.. Harding's cab
met he was mentioned as a probable
member. He Is a man Of high credit
in both the political world and the
business world.
Last year, to the general surprise.
Mr.. Slemp lent his influence to what
was called the lilly white movement"
in Virginia. He was prominent in
state convention composed exclusively
of white voters, and which nominated
q ticket composed exclusively Of white
men.
The appeal was to some disgruntled
democrats supposed to be holding aloof
from republican afiliations because Of
the colored vote.
The appeal failed. If there were any
such democrats they did not show
themselves at the polls. The only ef-
feet was to anger the colorsd voters.
who met in convention, nominated q
ticket Of their own, and supported it
on election day. The democrats regis
tered q record majority.
Mr.. slemp. it has several times been
stated, was blacklisted. 80 to say, by
the colored republicans for his part in
that performance, and that fact may
in part explain his present announce
ment. Without the colored vote he
could not win.

scite Chile and Peru will conduct d.
rect negotiations on the question Of
sovereignty, and II an agreement can.
not be reached by this means within
a specified time the two governments
will request the good oalces OF the
United States to aid in the settlement.
In short, an arbitrator will decide
upon local vote, or Chile and Peru
will try to adjust the question, and il
they cannot do it the United States
will render q final decision.
Acceptance by the two contestants
in this matter Of the Hughes formula
is sign of confidence in the good
faith of the United States. At no
time, indeed, has there been any rea-
son to doubt the American disposition
toward fairness in respect to the
South and Central American govern
ments. The sole desire Of this country
has been to see the republics to the
south of it prosperous, developing
along lines Of democratic organization
and independence and making the
most of their rich resources and op-
portunitiss for industrial and commer-
cial expansion. All internecine troubles
and all international disputes have
been occasion for distress here. To-
ward both Chile and Peru, as to other
South and Central American govern
ments, the United States has been
friendly. 1t has regarded this Tacna-
AFRICA dispute with anxiety. as q pos
sible cause of conflict between the two
countries.
Secretary Hughes formula was de.
signed to effect a. direct settlement If
possible and an indirect settlement
otherwise. 1t is noteworthy that the
formula finally adopted by the confer
ence added the feature that in the
event of failure Of direct negotiations
the good offices Of this country were
to be requested. The United States did
not tender its good ofnces, but they
have been invited in advance, and
without doubt this government will
serve If such a contingency should
arise as to make this service neces-
sary.

The ground is taboo, has all the sane

ago. not satisfied with having shut
out all visitors from the marble room
and the lobby, an order went forth
to frost the glass doors leading into

exclusion have been made to the COM
mittee on rules, which has charge Of
the arrangements in the Senate wing,
but without avail.
Just beyond the marble room is the
portico. a kind Of sheltered porch
running along the north aide of the
Capitol. This has bean converted

The Long Session.

The long session of Congress has OF
recent years been long. indeed. 1t has
been impossible to effect an early
getaway. Business in such volume
and variety has been presented,
months have been necessary to dis
pose of it.
No hope Of change in the near
future is held out. Business is increas-
ing. Even the routine now demands
more time than formerly
Opinion in some quarters is strong
that too much business is presented
TO Congress; that the people have
come to lean too heavily on that body;
that it is not, and cannot be converted
into, dispensary for all the ills of the
body polite; that a halt should be
made, and only such matters as prop
erly lie within the range Of Congress
called to its attention.
But who is to fix those limits? Who
is to say what matters are, and what
are not, proper for Congress to deal
with? What is a senator or a repre-
sentative to do when his constituents
ask him to exert himself in behalf of
something they think lies within the
range Of Congress? Argue with them,
and tell them they are mistaken? Not
many legislators would do anything
like that.
The long term may run a solid
twelve months-from December to De.
cember-and it may come to pass that
the whole time will be required to put
on or take off the books measures de.
sired or which have been tried and
found wanting.

that "the slaughter presents a chal-

to it's duty to repudiate a brutal and
murderous outrage such as this. Or

The Railroad Strike.

This is the tenth day of the strike
of the railroad shopmen. and the day
on which on most roads expires the
opportunity for the strikers to return
to their positions and retain their in
surance. pension and disability privi-
leges. No general break in the ranks
of the strikers is expected, however,
though some few thousands may in
the aggregate return to work. Doubt
less if this is the situation tomorrow
morning the leaders of the shop crafts
will claim that the strike is successful.
They will also point to the withdrawal
ut number of trains from certain
eastern railroads as evidence that the
strike is effective, although in fact
the reason for that withdrawal is, in
part, the conservation of fuel, which,
owing to the coal strike, is beginning
to run low.
As in every other strike in the past
affecting railroads, disorders have be-
gun. Men replacing strikers have been
attacked in an effort to drive them
occurred in this city. In a fight in
Clinton. ILL.,, between strikers and
guards employed by the Illinois Cen
trail, a child was killed and two of the
strikers were wounded. Troops have
been mobilized in five OF the middle
western states in preparation for
emergencies.
A conference is in progress today
between the Labor Board and the lead
ers of the railway clerks organization
in an effort to prevent the issuance of
strike orders by that union. with the
expectation that the clerks will follow
the course of the maintenance of way
men and remain on duty. Thus. if this
occurs the striking shopmen will have
been isolated in their walkout, with
practically no chance of winning.
Development of disorder seems to be
an inevitable result Of a railroad walk
out. The most sound assurances are
given always by the leaders that only
peaceful means will be employed. and
that the men will abstain from any
lawlessness. But at once pickets are
stationed, and these pickets after a
few days, either using their own dis
cretion or following secret orders
from headquarters. seek to persuade
men from working by direct action. If
q man who has gone to work refuses
to quit he is hustled. and if he resists
ne is beaten. Sometimes weapons are
drawn and wounds are inflicted. some
times death ensues. Then come the
police or the troops, for the law is
broken, and men must be given pro-
lection in the pursuit Of their duties,
even though an organization or group
of others may hold that they have no
right to work.
This strike Of the shopmen is one Of
the most ill-advised in the history of
labor in this country. 1t is b blow at
equitable means of solving wage dis
putes. 1t was a defiance Of law, and
i; was wholly lacking in public SYM
pathy and support. If there is any
wisdom on the part Of the leaders of
this organization the strike will be
called off at once.
