account the political preferences OF
some of the leaders on the Hill. The
President gave more thought to ability
than to politics in making his selec-
tons as soon as he approved the legis-
lation creating the new positions. As
the bill had been before Congress for
three years, the President evidently as
sumed that 1t rested with him to name
the judges. His action was also taken
with due recognition of the fact that
the congestion in the Federal Courts
is daily becoming worse. and the new
courts are needed to lessen it. The
courts cannot begin to function until
thirty days after the enactment of the
legislation creating them, and the
judges are needed to direct their organi-

There mds silence in heaven"
(ReuelGtion, piiiI.
"SILENCE."


Possibly silence made it heaven An
ancient seer said There was silence
and I heard voice" BY implication
he suggests that it was because of the
silence he was capable of hearing the
voice. Repeatedly the Bible emphasizes
the imperative need of periods of de-
tachment when by reason of the silence
the finer voices that appeal to mans
soul may be heard and understood. The
great leaders who advanced the cause
Of their time, who brought to their
generation clearer and finer interpre-
tations Of truth, found indiSputable
long periods OF deep reflection and
preparation for their life's task. The
supreme Master is a notable example
of this. Out of recorded ministry
that covered approximately three years
He la!a "ror Himself the discipline of
protracted periods where, apart from
men and the moving currents of life,
He sought that which the Silences
afford. He would not begin His min
istry without the long vigil in the
lonely hauntS of the wilderness. 1t is
a notable fact that the most conspicu
Gus leaders of thought and action the
world has known have been men and
women whose habits of abstraction and
quiet were marked and frequent. Lead
ership is hardly afforded to those who
have no secret places wherein silent
communlng and study Of the soul and
its needs are recognized and practiced.
1t is clearly evident that the periods
of lifes greatest inspirations are those
that are marked by detachment from
the distracting. harassing concerns OF
our occupational life Our world to-
day is noisy one. There seems to be
no possibility for getting away from its
jargon and confusion. Even the very
ether we breathe Is full OF sound. We
literally inhale with every breath voices,
some harmonious and gentle. some dis
cordant and raucous. Some one has
caustically observed that the present
situation suggests "a world of men
and women running about with their
souls in their satchels." The persist
ent demand for the satisfaction OF
physical appetites renders us unre-
sponsive TO the deeper claims of our
spiritual nature. 1t is quite evident
that there is little of repose and less
OF tranquility to be had in a world
where the currents run strong and swift.

There are three cardinal reasons why
We need a definite period of silence
First, because the Interruptions of

the abandoned religious habits of

apostasy. There was really nothing re-

have no spiritual needs: 1t is rather
that they refuse to recognize them.
For like reason. another friend of
mine lost his physical health because
he refused to recognize the rules that
long-sustained effort prescribes. A sec
ond reason for the need of definite
periods Of silence and reflection is made
evident in our mental life Those finer
satisfactions accruing to the cultivation
OF the mind can only come to those who
recognize its capacities and its aspira-
tons. He was wise man who said.

had evidently come to find that to feed
the mind was as important as to feed
the body. Those who have enriched the
world with the products of their think
ing have ever been those who in the
silences have wrought out their master
piece. Finally, the need for more Of
silence is disclosed when we contem-
plate our relation to God and Gods
relation to us. We believe in our better
moments that 'there is a divinity that
shapes our ends" We believe that
somehow behind the events OF life, Civ
ing them form and color. resides the
great Artificer, the eternal Father. 1t
is in the stiffness that the soul recog-
nizes the reality of Gods presence. 1t
is In the silences He articulates Himself.

A man Of peace, with purpose sure
Whose hands are clean, whose
heart is pure

That Righteousness eXalts race,
While sin Is reproach-disgrace.

Evidences of Valor.

Certainly, let there be- special medals
for such members of the Police and
Fire Departments as shall distinguish
themselves by deeds of outstanding
valor. At the last meeting of the House
District committee during the present
session of Congress that committee re-
ported the Capper bill, already passed
by the Senate, providing for the award
of gold and silver medals to members
of the two forces to be selected by the
Commissioners and by heads of depart
ments.
Fun has been poked at decorations
and there is no doubt that overabund-
ance thereof, or their award on made
quate grounds. has In the past brought
ridicule on the custom and on the in
dividual Wearer. But fun has never been
poked at the Congressional Medal of
Honor or the Victoria Cross or half a
dozen decorations in the same class.
Almost every hour of a policeman's
life, on duty or off, is fraught with per-
sonal danger. The same applies nearly
as much to firemen Washington has
seen some outstanding deeds of heroism
and self sacrifice since its two depart
ments were first organized. There is
no doubt that the possession and the
display of decorations for bravery by
certain singled-out members makes for
emulation on the part of the earnest
recruit and for esprit de corps generally
The actual medal. as is the case In the
Army, need never be worn save on oc-
casions of great ceremony, but a small
bar of parti -colored ribbon would be a
dignified, significant and a cherished
ornament on any dark blue blouse.

Loyalty, again, is the very central

He is certain beyond question to be as

cabinet as Secretary Of Labor, has prov
ed his steadfastness for eight years. He
has never produced presidential en-

Many Questions Will
Confront Next Congress
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

Business and industry are turning
eager eyes toward the new Congress. A
huge bundle of bills affecting agriculture.
manufacture, distribution and the rela-
tons of private capital and labor to the
Government Is expected.
The expiring Seventeen Congress de-
liberately abandoned some of its meas
ures to its successor. while others failed
because of opposition. When the Sew
enty-first Congress will swing into full
functioning Is uncertain. The special
session which. it is expected, will be
called to meet in April, perhaps the
10th of that month. may be confined to
specific subjects. principally farm relief
and tariff through the expedient of not
organizing all committees Of the House,
q procedure which cannot be followed in
a continuing body, such as the Senate,
but nevertheless would be effective in
preventing completion Of legislation, no
matter how much work might be done
by the Senate alone.
Wishes of the Executive naturally will
have considerable influence upon the
scope Of the work Of the special session.
Regardless of the narrow limits of work
Of a special session, the regular session
looms in December, and thus the whole
range OF legislative authority Is involved
In the present speculation as to the dis
position of the new Congress, not only
as to specific proposals, but also As TO
broad tendencies.
Tariff revision is being watched closely
in its initial developments by the whole
population, which has a keen interest
as consumers, and by hundreds Of thou
sands with added concern as producers
and dealers. This subject and farm re-
lief form an important program for a
special session without adding any
others.
Some fear is being expressed quietly
that prospective appropriations of large
sums, which appear inevitable. may
force readjustment of the revenue act
next year. The reduction in corpora
ton income tax rate to IL per cent,
which is effective this year. must be
tested out in the returns 1t will yield
before much can be said on this sub
ject, however.
Some Of the old problems Of especial
interest to business and industry that
the Seventy-first Congress will inherit
from the present Congress are:
Railroad NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. O bill
to facilitate voluntary mergers or one
for compulsory groupings, with major
interest vested in the fate of Short-line
carriers and those Of weak earning
power.
Regulation of the coal industry-Espe-
cially that ajor section which is en-
gagged in producing and shipping soft
coal.
Reform Of the bankruptcy act-To
provide for mandatory appointment Of
qualified banks or trust companies as
receivers Of bankrupt estates instead OF
