TODAY'S WEATHER

inches, and rain has resulted DUR
ing the last "a hours along the
Gulf coast from Apalachicola west
ward, being heavy in some locali-
ties. Light rain also occurred in
southern Florida and Maine, and
in few scattered localities in the
West. High pressure covers most
of the country this morning, ex-
cept over southeastern sections.
Temperatures have risen in the
South Atlantic and East Gulf
States, and from the Plains States
westward, and have fallen in the
Middle and North Atlantic States,
and on the west Gulf coast. Tenn
peratures are below normal this
morning throughout the country
from the Plains States eastward,
except in the South Atlantic States,
being % to % degrees below the
seasonal average on the west Gulf
coast; while readings are abnor-
mally high over most sections west
of the Plains States.

WILSON'S EXAMPLE

The congress that has just been cleo
ted will enter into existence on March 4th,
1888, but will not convene in regular ses-
sion until December of that year.
That the national problems will wait
that long for solution is of course unthink-
able. Legislation of remedial character,
such as has been promised by the demo-
cratic platform, will hardly be enacted by
President Hoover or the congress which
meets next month. #e
A special session of the newly elected
congress must be called by the president
elect Such course was pursued by
President Wilson in 1913. Mr.. Wilson
called a special session in March of 1913,
but he did not wait until that time to take
action. Before that special session con-
vened, President Wilson had his tariff re-
vision act in shape for passage and it was
passed within month of the converting of
the special session. Mr. Roosevelt should
follow the Wilson example.
Unless a special session of congress is
called, there is possibility of real danger
in the democratic majority in the congress.
With the first session of the congress just
elected scheduled to meet in December,
1888, just thirteen months hence, there will
be an opportunity for every special interest
to proselyte among the members of that
congress.
Lobbyists, propagandists and poll
ticians will have plenty of time in which to
work. Newspapers and advertising
columns, subsidized magazines. and other
publications, will all be available for ex-
erting pressure in favor of special interests
and special programs. This has been the
history of all former congresses with the
one exception of that of President Wilson.
The thirteen-months-old congress of
1898 had so many tariff ideas by the time it
met that Grover Cleveland spent an entire
year fighting its tariff views and then dis
gustedly permitted the tariff bill enacted
by it to become law without his APP
prevail.
1t became law and had no chance to
show its merits before another presidential
election came along and it was repudiated
at the polls.

ScURRILLoUS SHEETS

Nowhere and at no time is scurrillous
so.called newspaper welcome in any COM
murity for any length of time except
briefly by the morbidly inclined reader.
Were this not true, such papers would be
financial successes, but invariably they die
lingering, if not sudden death after be-
ing heavy drain on the purse of the pub
Usher.
Key West has been singularly free from
such newspapers, but once in blue moon,
there does appear paper that makes itself
obnoxious to the community and is tolerated
for time. Of one such Jefferson B.
Browne relates in his book "Key West, the
Old and the New" and the reference fol-
lows:
"For several years a discharged
Union soldier by the name OF Morgan
ran small paper called The Guar
dian. He had no policy but that of
abuse and vituperation. He was
editor, publisher, printer, and eked out
miserable existence. When he died
there was no one to follow him to his
grave, and bystanders were called in
to assist the undertaken to put his cof-
fin into the hearse. The scene was
pitifal one and made an impression on
the writer, who witnessed it.

THE VOLSTEAD ACT

That the Volstead Act will be amended
by the session of congress which meets
next month is not only a possibility, but in
view of the vote of last week, it is more
than probable.
The farmer rightly believes that legal
ization of the brewing of beer will help him
and increase the market for his products.
Only the professional reformer, who
has been almost entirely discredited, will
be opposed to the immediate abolition of
this feature of prohibition. Even some of
the former militant prohibitionists. more
intelligent than their fellows, realize that
only liberalization viii reduce crime and
control the further development of criminal
power.
With so many reasons for action and
so few for continuance of present condi-
tons. relief should come early. President
Hoover can hardly register further opposi-
tion to this reform.
