CONGRESS FACES
BUSY PERIOD IN
NATIONAL CAPITOL

The seventeen congress has made a
running start for its first session,
which begins in Washington, D. c.,
Monday, but it has long, hard winter
and spring ahead of it.
The host of returning senator's and
representative found tax revision
bill and several appropriations mea-
lsures practically ready for house ac-
ton and a fair beginning made on
the tremendous problem of flood re-
lief.
Likewise organization States in the
two houses have been set up for for
NAL approval with every indication
that the republican majorities would
have control of the senate and the
house.
While organization of the house
will be perfected on the opening day,
that of the senate may be delayed
until the second or third day of the
session while the row over the seat
ing of Senators-elect Frank L. Smith,
of Illinois, and William S. Ware, of
pennsylvania, both republicans, is be-
ing threshed out.
Thus the senate as we'll as the house
will start right out on some of the
most important questions which will
face it and the Christmas recess is
apt to find the Smith-Vare case dis
posed of and the tax reduction mea-
sure passed by the house.
Organization of the senate is ex-
pected to follow the vote on the oath
to Messrs. Smith and Ware and then
the two houses will appoint the. usual
committee to notify President Coolidge
that congress is ready to function. On
the day following, the presidents an
nual message will be sent to Capitol
Hill and the flood of annual reports
from the budget bureau and various
other governmental departments and
agencies will descend upon congress.
AS the members continue to come
in to town during the possession week
party leaders, who have been on the
ground for some time, will hold vari-
Gus conferences in an effort to iron
out some of the difficulties which are
to beset the new congress.
Senate republicans will have their
party conference next Saturday to
make up its slate of officers with
the prospect that George Moses, Of
New Hampshire, will be renominated
as president pro-tempore and Edwin
P. Thayer, of Indiana, as secretary of
the senate.
During the opening days, members
will be most concerned in introducing
measures and the bill clerks will be
worked day and night seeking to keep
their heads above the flood.
All measures, or practically all,
which died with the sixty-ninth con-
gress, will be reinforced. These num-
Der far into the thousands. In addi-
ton there will be many new bills
dealing with claims, pensions, bridges
farm relief, Muscle Shoals, railroad
consolidation and the many othel
problems with which the seventeen
congress will have to deal before tn,

Your dad was a mighty fine looking

timers around here who remember
your dad quite well. And your mother;

Your dad and mother were sort of
old fashioned, son. They used to drive
to church Sunday evenings in your
dads new top buggy and often stay
ed out until 10 p. m. But they didn't
do any necking and petting to speak
of; holding hands was about sthe
limit. Your mother simply wouldn't
stand for any rough stuff. Occasional

NEWSPAPER PROBLEMS

A mistaken idea with some people
Is that the newspaper is an individual
proposition. If they don't like the edi-
tor, they feel they must knock the
paper and stand in the way of its
success, whenever possible. They do
not realize that the local paper is
Just as much part of the community
as the schools, churches or anything
else, The newspaper is different from
any other business, it is community
affair. II is for the service of the peo-
pie and not for any individual.
You may not like the editor and
the editor may not like you any too
well-but the paper he is responsible
for does just as much for you as the
service rendered others. There is no.
thing personal with it; it is here for
a purpose and that purpose is to do
what good it can in every way it can
and the greater the support of those
it undertakes to serve the better SER
vice it can render 1t takes the people
to make a good newspaper and with
out the help of the people no one can
run a successful newspaper. 1t re-
quires money to operate any kind of
business, even the churches and the
papers are no exceptions, and for this
reason they must have the financial
patronage of the business interests as
we'll as the good will.
Few newspaper publishers make
more than a comfortable living, and
scarcely one is reported wealthy from
money made in the newspaper bust
ness. They deserve to be trusted and
understood by the people-it is the
editor and not the plant that makes a
newspaper useful in community,
though liberal patronage is neces-
sary if the paper is to be a credit to

GALES DECREE
HELPS TRADE

MEXICO CITY. July 26.-An i'm
portant step toward solving Mex
1co's difficult problem Of inter
communication within the republic
was seen here today in President
Gales decree permitting foreign
vessels to ply in the country's
coastal trade.
Early reports revealing the effect
OF the new presidential order show
that trade between the various ports
along the Gulf of Mexico has been
greatly stimulated. to the marked
benefit Of merchants, workers, and
consumers alike.
For some time. Mexico pursued
the American policy of limiting
coastal trade to ships flying the
Tag Of the republic. The policy
was such a notable success in the
United States in developing the
American merchant marine that
Mexicans hoped for similar results
IN their own country.
But, whereas American ship
owners had been quick to take ad-
vantage Of their opportunity, Mex
lean operators failed to meet the
needs of the ports along the gulf.
The service was costly. slow. and
uncertain. Instead of ships being
added to the trade, some in service
actually were withdrawn.
The result was that the eastern
most sections of the republic were
( nearly cut off from communication
with the rest of the country.
How the new decree has operated

PHILADELPHIA, April s. - The
purpose of Mrs. Jean L. Pepper, in
filing a 100000 alienation Of affee-
