Let Congress Meet Earlier.
Constitutional Amendment Held Not
TO Be Needed.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In your
editorial article IN to-day's HERALD
LET New Congress Meet Early" you
say: president Harding Is opposed to
constitutional amendment making
provision for the assembling OF new
Congress soon after 1t is elected
No amendment Is necessary. All that
the Constitution says on the subject is
in Article l.. section 4, paragraph 2:
''The Congress shall assemble at least
once in every year. and such meeting
shall be on the first Monday of Deccm-
Der unless<they shall by law appoint a
different day"
Only this and nothing more. Thus
the present Congress could enact law
to the effect that it's successor shall
meet on the first Monday of March,
1923 and 1924. and subsequent Con-
crosses shall assemble on the first Mon
day Of January.
In this way members would come
quite Immediately from their constituen-
cies. there would be time for Ions
session every year, extra sessions would
very seldom be required and Congress
dAi0 SAS iSs4OSHl NOoio 6Se away A'cA<'
Washington before the hot summer
weather.
The Constitution directs, but does not
descend to particulars as to how or
when.
1t Is a great abuse OF the reprcsen-
tative principle that members are now
sitting in Congress and leglsiating who
were defeated month ago for reelec-
ton and consequently nave no consutu-
encies to represent. The next sentence
in our Constitution to that just quoted
reads: Each house shall be the judge
Of the elections. returns and qualifica-
tions Of It's own members What "qual-
ifcations" to sit as Representative and
legislate has q member whose constitu-
ents have repudlated him? What one
house may do both may do, and SO why
not enact a law forbidding q defeated
member to legislate? J. S. p.

TUESDAY. DECEMBER -. 1924
Japan Leaves kiaochow.

For the first time in twenty-four
years the Chinese flag was hoisted
sunday over the Administration
building at Kiaochow. The Japa-
nese, who have occupied the town
since, they took 1t from the Germans
in the world war, agreed at our
Washington conference to give 1t up
aud they have made good. And with
their retirement the entire prov
ince OF Shantung has reverted to
China.
This action was largely the
outcome of the Washington confer
ence and the firm stand made by
the American delegation in support
CT the open door policy announced by
Secretary of State JoHy HAY quar-
ter Of a century ago.
The Japanese have thus completed
the evacuation of the mainland terri
tory which they have occupied since
the world war. Two months ago
they withdrew their troops from
Nikolaevsk, in the Siberian maritime
province. and later they retired from
vladivostok and part OF northern
Saghalien. The Moscow Soviet oc-
cupied the maritime province and,
annexing it to the Far Eastern Re-
public, extended its eastern border
TO the Pacific coast. BY the japanese
retirement from kiaochow the Chi
nese regain one of their most ancient
ports and an outlet for the railway
traffic OF eastern China and southern
Siberia. And the civilized world will
rejoice to see this vast and ancient
nation coming into its own again.
Besides their economic interest in
Kiaochow the Chinese have a sem
timental attachment to the province
OF Shantung, of which it is the prin-
cipal city. 1t is the Holy Land of
China. Courteous and MENctUs were
born and buried there, and their
tombs are places Of pilgrimage for
Inultitudes Of Chinese. Here the
Sacred Dragon appeared 5000 years
ago and impaired to the Emperor the
secrets OF agriculture, fishery and
music that have ever since been the
BASIS of Chinese life. The Chinese
were deeply grieved when in 1898 as
n penalty for the death Of two Ger
man missionaries In the Boxer rebel
lion they were forced to give to Ger
many a. lease OF Kiaochow aud sur
rounding territory for ninety-nins
years. After the world war the Chi
nese bitterly resented the occupation
OF the country by the japanese.
The withdrawal of Japan from
Kiaochow. as well as from the Ash
attic mainland. has removed one OF
the serious sources OF controversy In
the Far East. The Chinese have
brought under their own Government
their coveted province with its sea-
port much improved in the years OF
foreign occupation.
The province OF Shantung IL
about the same size as Illinois, with
an estimated population Of $4,000.
400. II has rich agricultural lands
and unexpected mineral wealth. The
complete control of this valuable ter
ritory should give the Chinese the
opportunity. for which they have
asked. to develop the province ac-
eording to their own desires and tc
build it up into a power which viii
strengthen their central Government
The restoration OF Shantung to
China is a triumph for American
diplomacy. 1t is long step ahead
in Strengthening out international
tangles and in removing formidable
perils to peace in the Far East.

From Markets. :

Reporting for the law committee,

tractors who have worked on the new
Davis incinerator. Councilman John
r. McNahb declared that Council

compensated by the general contrac-
tor before the latter IA definitely re-

pcnsation later.

stated that provisions bad been made
for tho rub-contractors to place any
claims against the general contractor

sured Council that the general con-
tractor would have 20 give the city

ment was made.

PROCLAMATION
Roosevelt Day

WHEREAS, The Women's Roose-
welt Memorial Association has pur-
chased and are restoring the house in
which Theodore Roosevelt was born,
and are planning a great work in in
spring the children of America with
the ideals actuating Roosevelt's life,
and
WHEREAS, this organization has
requested that October 9th, the ami
versary of the birth of this most dis
tinguished American citizen and
statesman, be set apart as legal hol-
iday for the purpose of such observ-
ance of the day in the schools and pub
lie gatherings as may fittingly bring
before our people the example of
Roosevelt's life, and
WHEREAS, no portion of the life
of Theodore Roosevelt has in it more
of inspiration for the man or woman
who is struggling against graat odds
to achieve success than the period he
spent on his ranch in North Dakota.
In the days of his boyhood and youth,
he had been hampered by weakness
and ill health. Most men would have
given up a struggle against such odds
and resigned themselves to a life of
Incidence and ease, but not so with
Roosevelt. He determined to seek
health and strength and so left his
home of wealth and luxury and came
to the prairies and undulating hills of
our state to spend a few years iv-
ing in a rancher's shack and enjoying
the health-compelling air, sunshine
and freedom of these western plains.
When, after three years Of such prep
arations, he returned to New York, re-
stored in health, and with increased
knowledge of the needs, the ideals and
the genuine worth Of the man of the
West, his progress was sure and rap
i'd, his service to his country great,
and his biography for a quarter of a
century synonymous with the history
of his country.

surdity.
The coal strike which started last
June is now a thing of the past. Its
aggregate cost to America is conser-
vatively estimated at more than a bill
lion dollars.
Who pays the bill?
That is a question every worker
should ask himself and endeavor to
get an answer to that will fully salts
fly himself.
What are the facts?
Did the coal strike cripple the coal
mine owners or coal operators? Have
any Of them gone into bankruptcy or
been forced to draw upon their saw
ings?
Every miner knows the. answer.
They know that the strike didn't cost
the coal mine owner or the coal mine
operator dollar out of his own pock-
ct.
Who paid the bill?
The miners who went on strike last
June had money ahead. How many of
them have money ahead today? How
many of them are free Of debt today !?
How man yof them have suffered pri-
vations, humiliations, and actual hun
ger since last June?
But all the miners in America, Eng
land, Europe and all the rest of the
world couldn't pay the billion dollars
the coal strike has cost America, so it
is very plain that the miners didn't
pay the bill, even though they lost all
they had and are now mortgaged dur
ing months of hard work to get free
of debt.
No, the miner doesn't pay the bill,
the coal mine owner doesn't pay the
bill, the coal mine operator doesn't
pay the bill!
But the workers of America pay the
bill; and they pay it to the very last
cent. They will also pay the tremen-
dous bill the railroad strikers are pill
ing up.-Bayonne IN. j. News and
Review.
