The Socialists and Congress.

Some years ago. when. Victor Berger
first sought and obtained e. seat in
Congress-long before the world war
broke out-the argument was ad
vanced that socialism would greatly
benefit by his election; that. so ready
a speaker in forum so conspicuous
would secure for the cause q hearing
it could not otherwise enjoy, and that
such hearing was all that was neces,
sary to the growth of the cause. q.
Mr.. Berger came, and saw, and
spoke, but did not conquer. The House
listened with politeness. but did not
follow him. The cause of socialism
was not spread over the country. Mr.,
Berger did not even hold his Individual
own, but dropped out Of Congress at
the end Of his term. -.'
An argument Of this character is
advanced now by that faction Of the
socialist party urging action in this

moving smoothly.
Now, all is different. The world is
in ferment. Men everywhere-and in
America as elsewhere-are puzzling
over questions of government-pro-
posing new systems, or changes in old
systems. Put some fluent socialist, or
several Of them, in Congress while this
condition exists, and the cause will
be bound to gain.

Electric signs have multiplied. In
New York and a few other cities they
cover the front of buildings and stand
high above the roof. They have long
been under regulation Of the building
and fire authorities of cities. These
signs have increased in number, size
and splendor till they do more for
the illumination of streets than the
public authorities could do. Yet. oppo.
sition has set in against them In New
York and in certain English cities. At
present this opposition would limit
these electric signs to the advertising
Of goods sold on the premises. What
the future holds for the electric sign
is any mans guess. Whether opposi.
ton to them will grow until they are
forced from the streets and housetops
cannot be forecast. By many persons
the electric sign is considered very
useful thing, and in many instances a
thing Of charm and beauty.

The Bridge Draw Spans.

changed in regulation Of the operation
of the draw spans Of the Highway and
Railroad bridges across the Potomac
in a way to reduce to a minimum the
traffic delays on those two important
thoroughfares of travel. At present
there is a supposed closed period Of
thirty minutes, between 8:20 and $50
am, during which the draws are not
opened for any craft. AS fact, how
ever, the draws are opened even dur
ing this period if q boat comes along
and whistles for clearance. This in
terferes with the traffic., especially
that of the electric cars bringing peo-
pie into Washington from Virginia
for the days work. Under the new
rules-which it, is hoped will be more
strictly observed than the old-river
craft can pass through these draw
spans only between 10 and II am. Q
and s pm. and from pm. to am,
save that when in high water the
clearance gauges read less than 1877
feet the draws may be opened at all
hours except for the thirty minutes in
the morning named in the present
rule. -
Almost all Of the river craft can
make the passage without the opening
Of the draw except at very high water.
There has been, however. no sys-
tematic attempt to observe the closed
period. with the result that at the time

Schools of Political Study.
This is from LIVERPOOL:

The unionist party has voted to or
ganize schools of political study to
educate unionist workingmen with
the special object Of fighting bolshe-
vism.
1t is difficult to think Of bolshevism
getting. strong, or anything like a
controlling, hold in England. Condi.
tions, disturbed as they are and have
been since Armistice day, are very
different there from what they were in
Russia when Lenin and Trotsky seized
power. At that time Russia was in
chaos and the people in panic. Every
thing was ripe and ready for the con-
fident faker and nervy tyrant.;
England is not in chaos, and the
people are not in panic. Moreover, the
rank and file are far superior in in
telligence to the rank and file Of Rus
sia. Nothing resembling czarism has
ever been felt in England. The people
have never been. under such cruel re.
preston that its sudden lifting would
cause such excesses as have marked
Russian history In the past few years.
In America Here what Is known as
bolshevism is almost unthinkable, in
connection with our affairs. II schools
of any sort for the teaching Of govern
ment are needed they should be used
for pointing out, not so much the
deficiencies of other systems. as the
superior merits Of the one under
which we are living.
We have always been a favored and
fortunate people, and therefore have
become a somewhat spoiled people.
We have taken our great good fortune
too much as a matter Of course, and
hence without sufficient appreciation.

CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS IN U. S.
Map Made Showing Approximate Per
eentage Of Animals Infected
With Disease.

Tests Of thousands Of herds through
out the country have enabled the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture to make a map showing the ap-
proximate percentage Of cattle in va
rious states and counties infected with
tuberculosis.
In nearly half the country, largely
in the South and Southwest, 1t Is
shown that less than 1 per cent of the
cattle have the disease. In other
parts of the country the infection
runs from 1 to Is per cent, and in still
other localities, %aggregating more than
$4,000 square miles, more than Is per
cent are believed to he tuberculous.
The figures are based on Ave years
Of systematic testing, and should
prove of value in directing eradication

The Case of Joe Tolbert.

Senator Dial does not expect jos
seph Tolbert to be confirmed as
United States Marshal for the West
ern District of South Carolina, re-
CARELESS of the recent renewal Of his
nomination by President Harding.
Tolbert's confirmation failed in the
last session eff congress, but is brought
up again by the presidents action. 1t
appears that Mr.. Tolbert never ap-
peared before the subcommittee ap-
pointed to investigate the charge
brought against him by Senator Dial,
and it was for that reason his case
failed in the last congress. Tolbert
was summoned many times to appear
but never did so.
Upon Tolbert's second nomination
by. President Harding, Senator Dial
again objected and a new sub-commit-
tee has been appointed consisting of
Colt of Rhode Island; Brandegee, of
Connecticut and Overman of North
Carolina. If Mr.. Tolbert appears to
answer the opposition of Senator
Dial these gentlemen of the senate
will have the responsibility of report
ing to the senate, upon the Tolbert
case.
1t is understood that Mr.. Tolbert's
strength with the president is because
of the interest the Republican Ma
tional Committee has taken in his
case. Tolbert is the ranking member
of the national committee and has ap-
pealed to the committee to stand by
him. The National committee is
therefore urging the president to
have Tolbert confirmed. Regardless
of these influences Senator Dial is
still of the opinion the senate will not
confirm Tolbert's appointment
