REINFORCEMENT IN
CONGRESS

A report from Washington indi-
Gates that Maine is not to lose a seat
In the House, at least not in the i'm
mediate future. II states that there
is a very general opinion that no
action will be taken on the proposed
reapportionment bill at this session
and that moreover it may not be I'M
I'll close to 1880.
This opinion is said to be based,
FIRST on the report Of the census COM
nlttee which was against reappor-
tionment, and second, the conference
called by Republican members Of the
House to sustain or reject the COM
mittee report failed to have a quo
rum.
The Constitution explicitly provides
that THE actual enumeration shall
be made within three years after the
FIRST meeting Of the congress Of the
United States. and within every sub
sequknt term of ten years. in such
manaer as they shall by law direct.
The humber Of representatives shall
not exceed one for every thirty thous-
and. etc.
Tho report carries no information
respecting the method Of procedure
under which the result it assumes to
foretell is TO be obtained. Congress
has latitude in the matter of making
the enumeration within the term of
ten years by methods "as they shall
by law direct" The enumeration
having been made Congress appar-
entity has the remainder of the en-
year pernod in which to make the
apportlonment.

ARMY AND NAVY EXPENSES

The country's mood following the
conference for limitation Of arma-
ment favors close pruning Of all eX-
penditures for army or navy. So
many calls are coming for money
and it is becoming so difficult to find
it that a movement to curtail unrea-
sonably the sustenance of our land
and water forces is making consid
cradle Roadway in Congress.
There is that doughty fighter, Juli-
us Kahn, who successfully pushed
through the draft law in time of war,
putting up another fight to prevent
the removal of any pieces of the
backbone of our defense. He is tell
ing them that this country has fe YER
soldiers in proportion to population
than any other countries except Chi
ma and Brazil; that the army and
marines are frequently called on to
protect the rights of the people and
that those who wish to cut the army
down to 10000 men are those who
opposed the CONSUMPTION law and
preparedness for war.
The War Department is making
plans for calling into training next
summer 1000 men, provided Con-
gross will appropriate the money.
Considering what was accomplished
last year and the evident advantages
of the training it is hoped Congress
will meet the requirements.
In naval affairs there are currents
and cross currents Of opinion. The
Secretary wishes to keep fit the navy
that is left, and in this is but doing
his duty. Congressman are being OPP
portuned to save the navy yard jobs.
Practical men are asking what use
there possibly can be in expending q
million dollars for the upkeep of an
obsolete warship. And so with all
this, the concerns of our army and
navy are out for an airing, which
ought to prove beneficial. ,

MaeNlDER'S TELEGRAM

II is not discroditable to Command
or Mach of the American Legion
10 suppose that had he slept on his
telegram to the President it would
not have been sent, or If sent would
have been in different form and not
so suggestive OF the tone taken by
messages from Berlin in the days
before the American soldiers had I'M
dertaken the Job Of putting muller
on Prusslanism.
"Americanism" is subject with
which the American Legion has been
intimately associated in the public
mind. Reading MacNider's message
one may wonder if telling the Pres
ident and the congress representing a
hundred and ten million people
where they get off" out of the mouth
Of tho spokesman Of an organization
numbering a million and half,
whether that is "Americanism."
One may comprehend Commander
MacEidcr's irritation against what he
doubtless regards subterfugcs in the
propaganda against the bonus. But
one in his position should have broad
enough views also 10 see the propa-
ganda which is being used to aid the
bonus and at least diplomatic enough,
though lie think the President, the
secretary OF the treasury and other
distinguished directors in Ignorance
OF it's cause and effect of the meas
urc,". TO express himself discreetly.
lie exposes himself to the suspicion
that he is somewhat puffed up by his
own importance. 1t leaves bad
taste in the average American mouth
TO have our representatives dictated
10. which is the impression conveyed
by his message.
We expect the soldiers to get the
bonus within the near future but
would dislike to think MacNider's tel
egram helped in the getting of it. We
expect this isn't the only bonus which
many OF them will ask for and we are
quite sure a dctatorial attitude will
not help them to get that.

REFRESH THE RECOLLECTION

bill" Scwall, Theodore Roosevelt's
old guide and friend. has been down
to New York to present to the Wom-
ems Roosevelt Memorial Association
a copy of his book: BILL SIS Story of
T. r." The newspaper reporters do
not overlook the fact that he is in
his 10Th year and yet vigorous and
declaring he feels nearly as good as
he did when he guided the young
Roosevelt over the trails of the Maine
woods in search after health, which
he found, as so many do who come
to Maine looking for it.
Trust "Bill' to remember what the
Colonel told him about hunting in
Africa and that he preferred to hunt
in Maine, also that the more he saw
of foreign lands the better he liked
his own. And he will never forget
that when Roosevelt took him into
partnership in that North Dakota
ranch and hard times came and half
the cattle died. Roosevelt said it was
his share of the cattle that died and
himself took the entire loss of about
a hundred thousand dollars.
And while we trust Bill to remem-
Der there are some of the rest of us
who need to have Our recollections
refreshed.
