The House Adjournment.

Will the House reassemble with a
clearer view than when it adjourned
Of what the people desire at this time
In the way Of legislation?
One of the reasons given for ad-
journment was Of this character-that
as nearly two years had elapsed since
the election of the present Congress
measures might have taken place, and
representatives, by going home and
mingling with their constituents for
six weeks, would be able to get a line
on the latest opinion.
1t is doubted now if this hope has
been realized-if the representatives
have profited as intended and desired
by the combinations with the home
folks on the subject Of the state of
the Union.
The reason given is that the home
folks are in as inquiring state Of
mind as their representatives.; that
the fog envelops ALL and is thick
everywhere: that what should be done
rs Questioi pIeSehI wherever oHe
turns, and that the members of the
House once more in their seats on
Capitol Hill will be but little wiser
than when they left them and went
in search of instruction.
This much wiser, however. they will
he: that they will appreciate more
fully and forcibly than before that
matters are now definitely up to them
and that in whatever they do they
must act promptly. Election day ap-
proaches and on that day the record
Of Congress, for better or for worse,
will be passed upon.

Planning the Next Move.

There is little encouragement to be-
lieve today that there will be any
generally successful response to Presi-
dent Harding's proposal that opera
tions at the coal mines shall be re-
sumed, with assurances of full pro-
lection to all men who are willing to
work. Certainly there are no indi-
cations of general break in the
ranks of the. strikers. On the con-
trary, their firmness seems to be un-
shaken, as indicated by the Iowa mass
meeting which sent assurances to
President Lewis that the miners OF
that state would remain idle until
settlement had been effected.
Likewise in the strike of the rail-
road shopmen, the beginning of an
other week brings no signs of i'm
provement. Returning to Chicago
from his conference with President
Harding, Chairman Hooper announces
that mo further action by the Rail
road Labor Board is contemplated at
this time
So il is a case now of awaiting the
next move by President Harding and
those of his advisers who are carrying
the heavy burden of a situation
fraught with the possibilities of dis
astrous consequences. That they are
not yet ready to acknowledge that the
situation is hopeless is manifested by
their activities, and there are many
resources of power, explored and un'
explored. still open to them. 1t is
intimated by congressional leaders
that if the President finds he has need
of more power than is now given him
by the statutes Congress will be
is an encourag ging and a gratifying
fact that no disposition has been ex-
hibited, either in or out of Congress,
TO make political capital out of the
national distress. There is wisdom
as we'll as patriotism in this, for the
people are in a mood to make short
shrift of any politician who attempted
to capitalize So critical situation as
is constituted by the rail and mine
strikes.
There is not in evidence throughout
the country any serious impatience
because the government is moving
with calm deliberation. 1t is realized
that this is a case where it is best
t. make haste slowly. where an error
might do incalculable harm, and that
nothing should be attempted that can
not be carried through. And there is
the further advantage that every day
the crisis can be postponed solidifies
determination to uphold the hands of
the government.

Prohibition for Germany!

A prohibition movement in Ger
many! 1t seems a most unlikely
enterprise. Yet strange things are
happening in the world today and a
dry Germany would not he the
strangest. A committee has been
formed "for the introduction of pro-
hibition in Germany" headed by DR..
Stecker, former minister Of education
for Hesse. 1t comprises, according
to the dispatch from Darmstadt, nu-
merous academic, political and labor
leaders and professional men and
women from all sections of Germany.
For the present the purpose is to con-
duct an educational campaign to en-
tighten the people on the nature of
the Volstead act, the American en-
forcement law. and urging the adop-
tion of a similar law in Germany. In
order to sound out public sentiment
i. will conduct straw votes in all parts
Of the country. Probably its pro-
moters have no thought Of an imme-
date success. They want to find. out
first if there is any pronounced senti-
ment for prohibition. 1t is not to be
assumed that because Germany has
always been a heavy consumer of beer
the prohibition proposal will be over
whelmed. The war has caused more
independent thinking to be done in
Germany. perhaps, than in any Of the
other countries involved in the great
conflict. Certainly there Is nothing
in the result Of the war to justify the
old practices and habits.

approval of him on general principles
outweighed their opposition to the

In this connection may be considered
the present move to unmask klansmen

The Klan in Politics.

Final returns of the Texas primaries
will have interest for those who are
watching the efforts of the Ku Klux
Khan to exercise political influence in
that state and elsewhere. Some Of
the candidates for nomination for gov.
ernor and for senator are avowedly
favorable to and favored by the khan.
Others are as definitely opposed to the
khan and, consequently, are opposed
by that organization. At present it
is impossible to see just how far the
khan issue has prevailed. Second pri-
maries will be necessary in the case
Of the senatorship and some other Of
Acers. In the senatorial fight at
present the leader favored by the
khan polled lighter vote than the
combined votes 'of anti-klan candi-
dates.

Grocery stores are places where
women go. or send their children,

But if their stock is enlarged to

the saloons when the latter existed in
