Congress Is Expected to Clear Its Decks
And Take Long Rest After Noon, March 4

William J. Bryan and William ]. McAdoo
did not meet while they were IN the city
simultaneously several days ago. Each con-
ferred with senators about democratic at
fairs Mr.. McAdoo discussed candidates.
and Mr.. Bryan policies. ~
Mr.. Bryan is very much interested in the
proposition to change the date of inaugura-
ton and to advance the assembling of newly
elected congresses. He wants the reaction
of the will of the people as shown at the
polls to be expressed in legislation more
promptly than is possible under the existing
system. When the next Congress assemblies,
with its increased representation of demo-
Gratis and progressives, Mr.. Bryan hopes to
get action the proposed change.

Radio control legislation now pending in
Congress should interest every radio enthus1-
asst The bill is unfinished business before
the House and leader Mondell hopes to get
it through next Wednesday. The bill aims
to enlarge the service of general broadcast
ing stations and to restrict the use of the
air by irresponsible senders. 1t sounds queer
to hear the expression "the lanes of the air"
in debates, but it is now recognized that
some governmental control must be exer-
cised over lanes of the air to prevent col
lisions of sound and general mix-up of
traffic"
The bill makes the Secretary of Commerce
the director of the use of radio communica-
ton and broadcasters will have to obtain
license to operate. The bill is regarded as of
such Importance, in view of the marvellous
increase in radio activity, that utmost effort
will be cxerted to get it through the Senate
at this session.

Government employees may take comfort
in the possibility-somewhat attenuated TO
be sure, but still alive-of the passage OF
some kind of reclassifcation BILL The pro-
ponents are working now upon a compro-
mise bill, and if the two sides can agree, it
is thought that the bill can be passed and
signed before March 4.

Thrilling Fate of Many Flyers
Recalled by Western Tragedy

The probable death of the lost avia-
tors. Col F. c. Marshall and Lieut.. C.
l. Weber, who disappeared on De-
cember z while on a cross-country
flight from San Diego to Tucson,
Ariz., recalls similar plights that have
befallen other Army and Navy fliers
and the searches that were made for
them.
While Army officials have long
given UP hope that the fiers would
be found alive the belief Is still faint
ly adhered to that their bodies and
the wreck OF their plane may be
eventually recovered. However. de-
clare Army officers. who have flown
over that wild part OF the country,
the chances are slim. Either OF the
two regions In which the officers may
have been forced to land is desert
waste. That section to the east or
tucson, where plane believed to
have been theirs was last seen, 10 ex-
4remely rocky and mountainous.
Sesrchers could look for months
without coming upon the ravine in
which the wreckage could lie hidden
for . long time, they say. The SANDS
df the desert to the west and south
bf the city are so fine that a slight
breeze would be sufficient to cover the
.vreckaee under a dune in a short
4 time.
/ The hope tha2 the officers could have

been rescued by Indians has also been
abandoned because the region is sparse
ly inhabited and any Indians who might
have found them would certainly have
made their presence known long since.
For many days fleet of planes secured
the region, flying as low and as far as
was compatible with safety, but no
trace of the lost officers was discovered.
The report that their charred bodies
were seen lying in a gorge near the
Papago Indian reservation, near the
border line, was found incorrect by
troops Of cavalry that aided in the
search.
Single Hope Remains.
The single hope now held by the on
GERS comrades is that some day they
may find the remains to afford them
proper burial.
The loss Of the two officers and the
long search for them recalled to Navy
aviators the loss in March, 1921, of five
men from the Pensacola air station,
who set out in a training flight in q
free balloon. Quartermaster G. K
wilkinson was pilot and had with him
four enlisted flying students While
there was no storm in the vicinity at
the time and weather conditions were
comparatively good, neither the balloon
nor its passengers were ever seen again.
It was first feared they had been blown
out to sea and squadron OF seaplanes

BY N. o. MESSENGER.

TIVE weeks from today Congress will
r. adjourn at high noon, and from pres
i ent prospects the halls of the national
legislative assembly will resound to no
echo until the first Monday in next Decem-
Der. President Harding will 60 to Florida
with Mrs. Harding for long rest immediate
ly after the statesmen have departed from
the capital. 1t is generally accepted in con-
gressional and official circles that there will
be no extra session of Congress.
The President, it is known, will not call
one, even should Congress fail to ratify an
agreement for a settlement of the British
war debt.
The appropriation bills are we'll advanced
and consideration is progressing at a rate
that seems likely to obviate the usual log
jam of bills in the closing hours of the ses-
sion. Farmers relief bills are receiving ia
vorable attention, and there is every indica-
tlon that some legislation, of a tangible and
practical nature for the aid of the farmer
will be enacted. The ship subsidy bills
chances are diminishing as the days pass,
and it is thought that only miracle can
save it.
President Harding, who regards the bill
as of the greatest importance to the coun-
try, is taking the lessening prospects of ia
vorable action phiosophcally. If the Con-
gress is willing to take the responsibility for
defeating the legislation and leaving the mer-
chant marine industry on the rocks, he can
do no more than he has done.
The farmers themselves, in whose name
much of the opposition is stressed, will be
among the early sufferers when the ocean
carrying trade slips from American hands
into those of foreign monopolists.

dinary crimes OF greed and lust and
common criminal malice. But the
government jams when an idea is
thrown into our institutions. An
idea is a monkey wrench thrown into
the machinery of government. Wit
ness Herrin. and look at Harrison,
Ark.
The idea which has clogged the
processes of law is that the workman
has a sort Of property right in his
job.
A million or so workmen hold the
idea in some form or other, rather
vaguely and without much logic back
OF their idea. They feel that their
skill as workmen and their knowl-
edge of the shop or mine or road
their time Of service in 1t, gives them
a right to work there 80 long as the
place is a going concern, and they
regard that right as just as sacred
as the right of the property owner
to his interest. They consider the
right to strike on the job does not
violate their right to their job, any
moro than tho business mans discus
sion of rates or interest and the price
Of service violates his right to those
things at the end OF tho discussion.
These workmen contend that the
strike Is merely a discussion of wages
and not an abrogation of right to
work.
This idea is deeply revolutionary.
It runs counter to about everything
that middle-class Americans have
been taught to believe. Yet in Her
rim, Ill, the whole community was
willing to commit murder to defend
that idea. In Harrison. Ark. an
other section of the community was
willing to commit murder to wipe out
the same idea. And government is
powerless. The Herrin murderer was
as brazen as the German soldier in
Belgium. The Arkansas lynchers were
as open In their crime as the minute
men at Concord. And, public senu-
ment controlling, the court cannot
punish the offenders.
Tho monkey wrench of an idea has
stalled the machinery Of government.
The idea has produced what we call
industrial war in this country, and IL
Is a bitter and ruthless conflict. But
force is not getting tho country
nearer to q solution than 1t was
generation ago. The tighter we
turn on the screws, the worse the
machine Is wrecked.
Herrin acquits one mob. Arkansas
will acquit the other. The idea Is
embedded in the wheels of industry.
What are we going to do about it?

Our Happy Hopper.

WILSON'S watchful waiting seems

happy hoping In his foreign policy. The
administration is sitting in a house
by the side Of the road watching the
world go by. And it's a hard and
thankless job. We seem to be trying
to stand still in a mob. In spite of
ourselves we are rushed along by it
to some unknown tragedy. some great
world catastrophe. Day unto day

But, II it comes to that, who knows

Y HAT a snap the "outs" have
M in politics over the "ins."
" All the outs have to do Is to

sit pretty and wait Tor tne
ms to make the inevitable mistakes
which a wise Providence provides that
imperfect humanity always shall
make. The mistakes elect the outs,
who then proceed to make other
mistakes And so the world turns
over in its appointed course.
Which is all preliminary to the dis
cussion about the extra session OF
Congress, which the democrats are
trying to force upon the republican
administration. Tho situation Is most
simple. If the extra session is called
the Congress will make enough blum
ders and get into enough rows with
a lot Of newly Matched radicals in
the republican caucus to defeat the
party In 1924. II, on the other hand.
Mr.. Harding does not call the extra
session, il we have what the Presi-
dent is pleased to call "a year of
peace"-fne. The people outside of
Congress who want relief from one
thing or another will raise enough OF
a row at tho administrations do
nothing policy to defeat the republi-
cans next year.
So reason the outs. And they have
the logic of events upon their side.
Whatever the republicans do Is 60
ing to be the wrong thing. The king
can do no wrong. but the head Of q
free people is never right. He al
ways has a minority on his hands.
And too often the minority develops
into a killing majority. Our beloved
President, who has escaped most
happily the personal shafts which
stung President Wilson into cynicism.
eoaded President Taft into folly and
produced many a barbaric yawp from
President Roosevelt, has mono the
less grief on his hands aplenty; not
personal grief, but party trouble. The
wing Of his party IL
growing strong; 1t threatens to do
the flying for the whole bird. II he
binds the wing with a refusal to call
Congress in extra session, the ac-
energy Of the progressives
may cause a paralyzing blood pres
sure. II he calls an extra session,
tho wild men OF Borneo. with an
election before them. are liable to
take over Congress and run 1t.
In the meantime the democrats feel
that they are sitting on the moon.
They have the grand delusion which is
the occupational disease Of the outs.
They. think they have the world by the
tall with q down-hill pull. But the
elephant sheds its tail easily, and 1t
may come OF in the democratic hands.
leaving them nothing worth while.
in politics Is uncertain but
its uncertainty. A man with luck like
Harding's does not: need wisdom. And
the democrats who have lots Of brains
but no luck should never forget that
even the easy game Of the outs may
be lost.

assuming a situation as 1t was In
1921, not as it should have been. then
assuming that the golden moment for
powerful participation in world af-
fairs passed four years ago. how
should We better ourselves by taking
a header into them now?
The thirty-one republicans who
signed the manifesto during the cam
paign which pledged Harding to take
a part in the solution OF the problems
of the world have been as active and
as effective as a similar group Of
pro-league democrats could have
been. The Senate is what 1t is. and
the Senate, not the President, decides
what the country shall do about the
league. Mr.. Cox could have got no
further than Mr.. Harding is going.
And despite the fact that he is stand
ing still. Europe Is coming nearer
and nearer to us. SO the relative re-
suit is the same. We are going into
the world court established by the
league of nations, and our observer.
Mr.. Boydep, told Europe what we
think, even though he was officially
repudiated in a quite pickwickian
sense. We are edging into European
affairs No one is so lonesome as an
isolationist. Happy hoping gets US
just as far as watchful waiting. And
probably the hopper and the waiter
assumed their attitude because they
reflected public sentiment. Parties
and Presidents may change but the
temper Of the. American people re-
mains about tho same. and In tho end
public sentiment has Its way. 1t had
its way when we stayed out of war.
when we got in, and when we stood
still after the war and let Europe
come surging toward US.

The silver Lining.

TOR a generation the liberals OF the
Il west have clamored for a change
in the Constitution which would per-
NIT a popular referendum upon con-
stitutional amendments of the Con-
stitution Of the United States. And
for an equal length Of time. the in
crusted reactionaries of the conserva-
tive cast have declared that such a
referendum would be an appeal to the
mob. They have bemoaned. bewailed
and bedamned any movement that
would drag the Constitution into the
dirt Of a common plebiscite. The
Constitution, the oracles declared, was
not conceived by the mob; it is not
written to the low level of mob in
telligence. It should never be amended
by the mob, but by the representa-
tives of the people, who in their sober
second thought and exceptional in
telligence, can say whether or not a
proposed amendment carries with 1t
the spirit Of liberty checking equality
which the fathers breathed into the
sacred document.
