Congress

Congress is meeting for the "short
session" which ends, willy-nilly, next
March.
1t is the same old congress. The
congress elected last month does not
meet, unless it is summoned sooner
in special session, until year from
now. 1t is the congress that was In
power before the election that meets
after the election to handle the coun-
try's business, even though it may be
a repudiated congress, as it always is
to some extent and often to great
extent.
The chief business of this congress
is to pass the necessary appropriation
bills. Not much else is expected OF
it, and the country no doubt will be
content if that is all that comes of it.
There are three months for it to work
in, which would be time enough for
a good deal of constructive work if
if there weren't so many "ifs" as
ISOLATED with the situation.
Congress in the short session could
do a good deal of work if the holidays
didn't cut in so, if so much time did
not seem to be necessary for speeches,
and if there weren't so many men in
congress who have either been beaten
or have voluntarily retired which
doesn't often happen.
The chief point of interest in the
session right now is whether Mr.. La
Toilette and his co-workers who have
been "read out of the party" will try
to combine with the Democrats again
and deadlock the proceedings as a
measure of retaliation. They can do
that easily enough if they want to-,
and if the Democrats will play with
them. That's the question: whether
the Democrats will play with them
now that the election is over and there
isn't another in sight for two years.
The Democrats may, and the Demo-
Gratis may not. 1t always seems to
be agreeable to the "outs" to en-
barrass the Gins" as much as they
can, and they relish it particularly
when they are helped in that by men,
bers of the Gin" party.
But SO far the Democrats haven't
gained much political sustenance
through their f1irtations with the
radicals. They had a good time do
ing it in the last session, no doubt,
because they were expecting much
political gain from it. AS they survey
the recent past, though, and try to
reckon where that political gain to
the Democratic party came in, thew
may not be minded to let themselves
be used so freely now as they were
then.-Duluth Herald

brown" who last evening killed pretty
Mrs. Maud Bauer and dumped her body
from his automobile to a lonely road
side on Staten Island, almost within
sight of her mother and two small
children, was still ct liberty tonight.
Police admitted that the man with
the blood-stained hat-a widely known
resident of the island-whom they
grilled for eight hours today had an
alibi that was impenetrable. A half
dozen other men who. wearing brown
fedoraS and brown listers had been
seen driving sedans near the murder
spot, were quizzed and released.
Neither the murder victims mother
and children. who saw Mrs. Bauer
drive off with the man in brown, nor
the two urchins who found her body a
few minutes later, were able to identity
the suspects.
Highway police in nearby states were
called upon tonight to help apprehend
the murderer. Detectives expressed
the belief that he left the island on
ferry immediately after disposing of
Mrs. Bauer's mutilated body and head
ed down into New Jersey or north
toward Now England.
Meanwhile an autopsy enabled the
authorities to reconstruct the story of
assault and battle within the little
closed automobile, which cost Mrs.
Bauer her life. Together with the evil
dence furnished by her mother, Mrs.
Mary Piero. her two little granddaugh-
tiers and the youthful discoverers or

before next July by making three or
four voyages while tourist travel is
