Neutrality-suspicious. of the outstand-
ing promises in the presidential cam
paign of 1920 was that If the Repub-
licans were successful the legislative
branch of the government would re-
turn to its rightful place as II of the
three coordinate branches of the gov
eminent. This promise has not been
fulfilled. Many students of govern
ment are now asking, "Can congress
come back" President Harding has
carried out his part of the campaign
pact. lie has not only not attempted to
dominate congress, but he has in many
ways and on many occasions tried to
persuade it to redeem itself.
BY the end of another month the
call of the campaign will be heard,
and after the first of October 1t will
be impossible for either house to main
tain a quorum. The body will do
well If 1t gets the appropriation bills
through during the short session
which will begin on the first Monday
in December and end on the fourth
of March. So the hopes of the pub
licists who have for a long time been
telling the congress that it should
be an independent and not a depend
ent branch of the government, are now
turning to the SiXty-eighth congress,
which will be elected neyt November.
President Harding expected great
things of the new congress. One of
the first things he did after entering
h White House was to summon it to
meet April II, 1921. Without attempt
ing to dictate what it should do, he
recommended that IL reduce taxation
and revise the thrift.

Results in Kansas Analysed.

The outcome in Kansas presents two
outstanding features. The nomina-
ton of a Republican candidate for gov
ernor, w. Y. Morgan, who favors the
retention of Governor Aliens industrial
court. and the defeat of Representative
Philip Campbell, IN old guard wheel
horse, chairman Of the present rules
committee in the house of representa-
tives and prospective candidate for
speaker. 1t is generally assumed that
there Will be no doubt about Morgan's
election and 1t is believed that he will
probably have Il legislature that will
refuse to repeal the law establishing
the industrial court. The probability
is that several factors entered into
the defeat of Campbell. Some years
ago he purchased a farm over in Vii
GINA. about ten miles from Washing
ton, and his W. district saw but
little of him after he settled down on
This farm. This was used against him
In a most effective way. OF recent
years Campbell had not been raspon-
sive to thu progressive thought which
characterizes the state of Kansas.

as yet been able to muster up enough
courage to do this.
What Primaries Reveal.
The results of the recent pri-
mary elections in Missouri, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and Tennessee tend to support
the view that 1t is difficult to locate
any marked political trend any
sweeping political current-this year.
Nominations in both the old parties
have thus far obviously been dictated
for the most part by local conditions
and personal consideration. National
prohibition has entered into some of
the contests to q limited extent, but
neither the vets nor the drys can
point to any overwhelming victory in
their favor. The record of the Hard
ing administration has been more or
less discussed, but there has been no
outstanding verdict for or against the
administration. Some very ardent
supporters of the Harding regime have
gone down to defeat, while other sup
porters have won signal victories.
Woodrow Wilson, former President,
has been brought forward as an issue
in some of the contests, but it cannot
be said that the verdict thus far rem
dered is for him or against him. The
former President and his acts i'll the
White House were much discussed In
both the Missouri campaign and tie
Virginia campaign. Mr.. Wilson asked
the Democrats Of Missouri not to re-
nominate Senator James a. Reed.
The senator has been renominated by
a slender majority. In the Virginia
Democratic contest Mr.. Wilson asked
the Democrats to renoninate Senator
Claude A. Swanson, and the senator
has been renominated by an over
whelming majority, Notwithstanding
there was pitted against him one of
the most popular Democrats in the
state, former Governor Westmoreland
Davis.

One Reckoning Feature.

That special session extended from
April II, 1921, until November %,
1921, a total of DOT days. The record
of that special session is well known.
The important product was budget leg
islation, legislation it should be said
in fairness to everybody, that had been
enacted toward the close of the VIII
son administration, but was vetoed by
President Wilson because of n techni-
cality. 1t is the one redeeming fea-
ture of the record of this congress.
The regular session which came on
December 5, 1921, has now run 243
days. At the opening of the session
President Harding submitted recon-
%mendations for a comprehensive legis-
lative program.
1t is now foreseen by the. Repub-
lean leaders in the two houses that it
will not be possible, provided the final
decision is to go ahead with the tariff,
to finish the legislation a great while
before election day. Some of the diff
f%erences between the bill which the
house passed and the bill which the
senate will pass, as has been frequent
ly pointed out, are fundamental. The
conference committee will have to re-
write some portions of the bill, and
unless q new record should be set,
final agreement by the two houses af-
ter the .conferees have reported will
not be speedily reached. For instance,
if the senate conference should yield
to the house on some of the funda-
mentals-and the senate will have to
yield on some of them-there are SEN
ators who will desire weeks in which
to discuss the issues thus raised.
The Republican party Is divided on
the question as to whether President
Harding is pursuing the right course
in leaving congress to its own re-
sources. Within recent months some
of the members of the Republican ma
tional organization have insisted pri-
vately with a good deal of vigor that
the President emulate the example set
by Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson.

is very properly the subject of nation
wide comment. A political party
would hardly champion the record on
which he was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to food control during the war, OPPOSE
ton to woman suffrage, opposition to
prohibition, opposition to the League
OF Nations, and in fact opposition to
practically every policy supported by
the party with which he affiliated dur
ing the eight years 1t was in control OF
the executive department. Many rea-
sons for the denomination of Reed may
be put forward and indeed are being
put forward. In the first place, he is n
remarkable campaigner. His opponent,
on the other hand, made no appeal to
the popular imagination. Reed posed
rs the u%nderdog in the fight and this
always appeals to Il large class of
voters. The so-called ~German-Amer-
lean vote is very large In Missouri,
particularly in st. Louis and Kansas
City, and from all accounts the senator
received practically all of this vote.
He also received the vote of the rad
ical vets in the two large cities in
the state, and apparently profited by
the discomfort of the day.
1t can hardly be said that the League
Of Nations was an issue in the Mis-
souri, campaign though Senator Reeds
opposition to the league and Breckin-
ridge Longs friendliness for it we're
mueh discussed. 1t was obviously
rot a factor in the campaign because
The voters were not particularly inter
ested.
X. II. Brewster of Kansas City, who
was nominated for the senate by the
Republicans in Missouri, belongs to
the regular Republican organization
in the state and if his nomination Is
significant in any respect 1t is because
he represents the old machine. If the
Democrats who supported Long in the
campaign vote for Reed at the polls,
the senator will be reelected if they
hold out on him, Brewster will have q

Ticket Agent
Gets Sentence

Yankton, June 2-Alvin K. Sole,
formerly ticket agent for the Mil
waukee road at Utica, pleaded guilty
before Circuit Judge r. B. Tripp yes
terday to a charge of forgery in the
third degree and was sentenced to
serve year and half in the state
penitentiary. The offense with which

chased two railway tickets from Uti-
ca to Gayville, fraudulently altering

via Chicago" instead of Gayville and
to have sold them for $40 with in
structions TO the purchaser to pay
cash fare to Sioux City, ride to Chi
cago on the ticket and then return
it to Sole.
Sole has a wife and four small chill
dren dependent on him at Utica. He
was discharged as agent by the Mil
waukee road last summer, following
his conviction on al liquor charge.

GOAL PRICE IS IS
TO Be FIXED
PRoFITEERING TO BE PRE-.
VENTED BY GOVERNMENT.

Washington, ID. c., June Sec
retary Hoover today assumed the re-
sponsibility of fixing ar easonable
price on spot coal, during the con-
tinuance of the present coal strike.
Opening the conference here to-
day of union and nonunion operat-
ors in the producing fields, Mr.. Hoov-
er declared that any agreement be-
tween the operators looking toward
the fixing of the price of coal, even
though in the interest of the public,
would be illegal He. asked, there
fore, that the individual operators
agree with him on a reasonable price
for coal in their respective districts
Mr.. Hoover suggested the immed-
late appointment of committees rep
resenting each producing district to
TO advise with him upon fair price
for coal in their respective districts.
He also asked that these committees
continue in existence ofteh the de-
termination of fair price, report
ing cases of unfair charges. He told
the several hundred operators at the
meeting that the production was now
about 100000 tons a week, and
consumption about 10000 and g.
100000 tons thus necessitatine
Withdrawals from stock amounting
to between 100000 and 3,50O,000
tons a week. Production will increase
slightly as time goes on, he added.
Coal prices today, Mr. Hoover
said, ranged from about 1925 tC
$3.5 ton. at the mine.
The public, he continued, should
understand that the problem at hand
is one of almost stupendous difficult
ty.
What a fair price for coal is de
pends upon conditions in each dis,
trict, and where profiteering begin:
and ends is question of definite
fair price, determined upon facts and
not upon theories, the secretary told
the operators. There is not, Mr.
Hoover explained, a single shred d
law to enforce fair price or pre-
vent profiteering, and the law pro
hlDits operators agreeing as TO Wha
fair price may be.
II propose to injuire through yol
as to the situation in various dis
tricts, and will take the responsible
ity on my own back and will ask ev
cry operator to accept this basis il
his own district" Mr.. Hoover tolt
the operators.
The agreement, he continued
would be between the operators ant
the secretary of commerce, and il al
operator failed to live up to it, |
would be upon his own conscience.

TWO ROBBER|ES
RAID FILLING STATION AT WAT
ERTOWNi AND ESCAPE WITH
SMALL LOOT.

Watertown, June 2-Evidence an
ticipating rich hauls after the cash
business in gasoline and oil sales of
busy day, yeggs made a raid on the
Standard Oil company in Watertown.
The filling stations at Kemp avenue
and Second street E., and on First
avenue n W.. were both entered.
The safe at the station on First ave-
nue. was blown and a similar opera
tion starte dat the other station but
was left unfinished. The burglars
made their getaway with about SIS
in cash.
Prying open rear windows the
burglars left evidence at both places
to the general effect that they knew
their business. Cutting out the han
die to the combination lock with a
coal chisel to avoid the necessity of
drilling, they poured the soup" into
the hole, thus made and wrecked the
lock on the safe at the First avenue
N. w station. They took eevrything
but checks and left the safe open, Its
contents scattered on the floor.
Adopting the same procedure at
the Kemp avenue station, the yeggs
evidently were frightened away be-
fore they completed their program,
for employees. on opening the station,
found the handle to the combination
lock cut out and lying on the floor
but the safe still securely locked. Had
the burglars finished their work at
the Kemp avenue station they would
have made much greater haul.
No trace of the yeggs has yet been
obtained

alton that Great Britain will moi

does likewise. were the two main
points in Premier Lloyd George
reparations speech in commons Wed
neSday.
Incidentally the premier remark,
ed that France and Britain are now
in agreement on the question of rep
arations and said that he is mos
hopeful that an arrangement will be
reached which will be agreeable tc
both the allies and Germany.
According to Lloyd George tho
work of the reparations commission
would have been easier and attend
ed with less friction If Ameriac had
approved the treaty, entered the
league of nations, and become an of.
ficial participator in the reparations
deliberations.
He declared that it is ridiculous
that Great Britain cancel $4,000,
100000 of war debts due her unless
America would cancel the $1,000,
100000 which Great Britain owe:
the United States. England, he said
is ready to enter any international
discussion aimed to complete the OBJ
liberation of war debts, but he insist
ed that no British government would
be able to contemplate one-sided ac
ton.
