CONGRESS STILL DRY

: Referendums are one thing; one fourth of the nations population registered themselves as modified tons through the referendums on election day. ..
 But the dry gentlemen in Con- gress form quite another kind of Issue. Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti Saloon league chief, says only nine of the s5 new senators elected are wet. while more than 300 members of the house with dry records have been reelected.
 What Is the meaning of all this?
 Simply that great many people Of wet proclivities continue to elect dry congressman. This comes about largely through the party label.
 A wet Republican, if he is a bet ter Republican than he is a wet, in variably votes for Republican dry. The latter may not be advertised as such, but he Is put down in the dry column nevertheless.
 Millions of voters are In this category; thousands in Connecticut.

WILD STUDENTS

The students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technoloiy have been putting on an annual riot; and these have increased in violence year by year. This year they were entirely out of hand, and extensive damage to property resulted.
 Every year pious justice admon- ishes them that the day Is gone by when such things can be permitted. Next year the fracas is simply worse.
 Expulsion of few dozen from Tech" might dampen the ardor next year. College presidents are continually telling us that their h. stitutions are overcrowded and that fewer candidates for college edu- cation should call.
 After such a riot as that in Cam bridge and Boston the time would be propitious to lessen the pressure.

RUTHLESSNESs

The hit and run driver Is as popu- lar as scorpion. At Newington a woman walks across the highway to her husbands automobile, and while doing so is struck by a ma- chine and is instantly killed. The driver of the machine, instead of stopping to note the extent of the injurie. inflicted, take his victim to a hospital and report to the police, steps on the gas instead. Somebody is arrested and will go on trial.
 The main question is not one of whether the victim stepped right in front of the automobile" as so frequently is the defense of auto drivers figuring in an accident. The evasion of responsibility. if proved, probably will nullify any such de- fense.
 The man who figures in an acci- dent and then drives on gives prima facie evidence of having strong reason why he doesn't wish to face the music,

INFLUENCE OF BRITISH
 COAL STRIKE

The world, economically speaking, is closely knit together. The long drawnout British coal strike, there for, does not merely affect Great Britain but has its influence else- where, including the United States. l This influence is considerable.
 The high price of soft coal, caused by the foreign demand for Ameri- can coal, is enabling coal companies to make large profits. But concerns which use much soft coal are find ing their profits curtailed by just that much. The steel industry Is greatly affected.
 High coke prices naturally create firm steel prices. and these are af- fecting steel consumption where possible. Higher prices than the trade thinks warranted always create sales IeSlSldnCe.
 Ocean freight rates have taken a considerable jump as the result of the strike. Heavy coal shipments dur ing the last few months have made fewer ships available for grain shipments, so that grain rates have doubled. The result Is lower grain prices in the United States and in- jury to the American farmers.
 The British coal strike could have been settled long ago were it not for the straddling of the Baldwin ministry. The conservative party in England is going a long way. under Baldwin's leadership, toward running it's prestige and it's chances in the near future through it's failure to carry out its promises made follow ing the ending of the general strike.

WALL STREET AND POLITICS

Wall street has not viewed the in- crease in Democratic power in Con- gress with a fit of alarm. On the contrary, there is prospect of bull market as result, according to some observers.
 Should there be an agitation for the taxation of big surplusses, it Is said, it is believed probable that many of the big corporations will proceed to disburse some of their cash assets, or capitalize their sur plusses through stock dividends. There Is large total of excess sur plussses in the country, and con- gressional agitation to get at them is expected. The only way the cor porations have to defend themselves is to do the foregoing, and Wall street likes. nothing better as a stimulator of stock advances. Every body wants to get in on such a distribution and stocks get in de- mand whenever such a thing is in the air. One prominent banker" in Boston is quoted as saying: T look for large crop of special disburse- ments, beginning almost immediately and continuing we'll into next year. With this in view, I do not see how the market can go down very much"
 It may be hard for some folk to understand how Democratic success can help the stock market and holders of stocks, but if it isn't clear it is best to await developments. Either the prominent banker" is right or he is wrong. There may be a difference about horse races even among bankers. That the surplusses exist, however. is not a matter for such a difference of opinion. Cool idge prosperity has enabled them to be accumulated, and Democratic agitation--aided by the Insurgents may cause them to be disbursed, Sounds reasonable, anyway.

volunteer choirs are in need of a few good voices to lead them through the mazes of their anthems, rather than large membership of indifferent voices. A skilled quar- tet within a choir can enable the singers to project music which other wise would be impossible for the singers.
 Dean Lutkin's scheme is good as fas as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough. It doesn't include the con- gregations and it offers no guarantee that volunteer choir singers will be present when the roll is called: and it doesn't insure the fine singing that modern congregations have been trained to expect from the choirloft.

TRAINED CHOIRS AND CHURCH SINGING

Again an expert on such matters has come forward with the state ment that trained choirs, or quartets, injure church singing; that they take the life out of congrega- tional singing, and that they dis courage it.
 The gentleman making these statements is no less than Dean Peter c. Lutkin, of the college of music of Northwestern University, Evanston, III. In order to make some headway in the direction he thinks churches ought to take, Dean Lutkin has established a college course for church choir leaders.
 Much as quartet choirs have been lambasted by sundry church digni- taries, including some bishops and some preachers. the fact remains that they are easier to listen to than choir of amateurs who cannot sing much better than a congregation. There are exceptions, of course: some choirs are better than others. But this also holds good of quartets.
 The tendency of the last genera ton has been in favor of the church quartet of paid singers, not only as a means of procuring acceptable music during services, but also as certain method to isure good re- suits. The members of volunteer choirs, not being paid for their at- tendance, are not in duty bound to be present during the services, and every organfst or choir leader knows the heartburnings incident to expecting a full attendance and get ting only half an attendance, with some of the main singers among those absent. They will agree that this is a pretty hard way to "up- lift the services"
 The church quartet of paid sing CTS, on the other hand, is paid to be there and is paid to sing well. The result offers no comparison with the volunteer choirs at all. as everyone knows.
 It may be true that quartet does not stimulate congregational singing as Well as a choir; but that is not the fault of the quartet so much as 1t is that of the congregation. Moth ing can help this except the congre- gation itself. The decadence of con- gregational singing has been a moot subject for 30 years. Most congrega- tions nowadays are better listeners than singers. If they need stimula- ton it is by congregational singing leader, not quartet or a choir.
 The golden middle way out of the difficulty would be the employment of a paid quartet and a volunteer choir giving the quartet opportunity for special efforts, and the choir an opportunity for the easier music. This has been done in few church. eA but not many. The majority of

WARE AND SMITH

Senator George W. Norris of Ne braska, Progressive Republican, sounding the tocsin Of his Insurgent colleagues in the Senate, has already announced the method of procedure in connection with Senator Ware of Pennsylvania and Senator Smith of Illinois. Neither will be seated, ac- cording to Norris, and how this Is going to be prevented forms the thesis of his salutation to the nation.
 Instead of busting them after they get into the Senate, Norris says their credentials will be attacked immedi- ately upon their presentation to the Senate and their seats declared vacant.
 But Norris is not certain of every detail of this matter. Ut may be-" he Is quoted as having said, that the credentials of Mr. Ware will be accepted by the Senate and that he will be temporarily permitted to occupy seat pending an investiga- ton into the manner in which he was nominated and elected" The same procedure is thought possible in the case of Senator Smith.
 Senator Norris has done the coun- try service in so early announcing the plan of the combined Insurgents and Democrats. The Republicans be they wet or dry, will try to hang onto Ware and Smith In the Senate for the sake of politics, and Senators Bingham and Mclean of Connecticut are expected to vote for these Re- publican senators.
 As shedding light upon Demo- cratic politics, the stand of such senators as Wagner of New York  and Walsh of Massachusetts-bo pronounced vets will be interest ing. Will they prefer to see Ware and Smith busted on the score of aiding their party in the Senate, or will they favor them because they are vet?
 With a Democratic membership of 47 and an Insurgent Republican group Of at least nine and possibly as high as 15, the seventieth Con- gress is likely to have little respect for the feelings of the Republicans in thismatter. Newberry was con- demned for an expenditure of only $195fo00. It Is difficult to see how Ware and Smith can get by after what Senator James A. Reed of Missouri uncovered during his slush fund expeditions.
