There are other more significant
underlying factors in the present con.
| greSSional situation
| The truth is that this coming
| meeting Of the ne,rly elected legis-
| ldtOrS is not going TO be con-
| greSSiondl session at all, but rather
| caucus of the netU polyglOt Demo-
cratic party. There are not enough
Republicans left to make it inter-

Uent it from being orderly.
At bottom the situation seems t,
be this: The Congressman general,
fear Mr.. Roosevelt. but few agree will
him Fundamentally; nearly all Wit

that they could still do better thar
the President has; each carries from
one to half dozen pet panaceas hid

They can be expected to beat thei
breasts for him and raise hell TO
themselves.
| Patronage Club Shortened.
Mr.. Roosevelt'S patronage club ha
been shortened considerably since tn
last session. Most Of the good jobs al
ready have been given away. Yet h
retains more than the ordinar,
amount of small privileges and prefer
ments to barter with.
More important is the fact that
| Congress as 1rhole seems still to
J be as unpopular as erer NTH the
country. Last 1reek there 1uas a
try-out OF nelU play here. The

The result will be that the admins

will be a harder job than you think
and frequent compromises will b
necessary.
| Drought Effect Felt.
The drought has passed out Of tn
headlines, but its real effect is onl,
now beginning to be measurable.
Animal feed supplies hare reached
such dangerously lou lerel that
actual imports OF corn, soy beans,
oats and hay are no1U starting.

the Winter is open and pastures re
