The Congress Is driving hard for an
adjournment next Saturday. It is the
hope of Senator Robinson of Arkansas
that this will be possible. He feels
that the present Congress has accom-
plished a tremendous amount of i'm
portant legislation and that 1t is time
to bring the session to an end. Repre-
sentative Byrns of Tennessee, the
House Democratic leader, says that
body will be able to wind up its work
by Saturday, and he adds that the
whole matter OF adjournment lies in
the hands of the Senate. Both these
leaders believe, however, that If the
President insists upon having the
Wagner labor bill put through before
adjournment an end of the session by
Saturday is an impossibility. Not only
that, they believe that the session
may run close to the first Of July.
President Roosevelt's recent message
to Congress outlining the things which
he proposes to do IN the succeeding
Congress Is considered Democratic
platform for the congressional elec-
tons. In 1t the administration makes
many promises. including the banish-
ing of poverty and unemployment and
insurance for the future. These are
large promises. If they are not full
filled the election In 1896 may prove
o tough job for the Democrats.

running, with something of the
effect of an exploding bomb
shell. Breathless he came to
this writer, a reporter for a
New York newspaper, and
handed him a telegram. It was
brief. It said, in so many
words, that the Cunard liner
Lusitania had been torpedoed
and sunk by a German sub
marine, off the Irish coast, with
appalling loss of life.
Roosevelt's Reaction
Not often in lifetime comes
such a shock Of news. I got up
from my place at the reporters
table, walked behind the judges
bench and handed the telegram
to Justice Andrews. He glanced
at it. casually, at first, then
froze in startled amazement.
Completely suspending the
functions of his court, he ges-
tured to Theodore Roosevelt
an invitation to leave the wit

masses of its Northern support
erS had no aversion to slavery.
Neither could the already mOri-
bund Whig party give the re-
quired championship, for it
also had a Southern prO-slavery
wing; and although a majority
of its Northern members were,
largely on political grounds.
opposed to slavery, they were
at the same time thoroughly
imbued with the doctrine that
the preservation of the Union
was the highest of political
duty and ths compliance with
demands of the South was the
only way in which the Union
could be preserved"
. Had the Republicans of Penn
sylVania nominated Governor
Pinchot as their candidate for
Senator, they would have taken
the position that only by en-
bracing the New Deal pro-
gram of the Roosevelt Admin
istration could they hope to
save their party and it's his
toric principles from destruc-
ton.
Hits Revolution Talk
BY renominating Senator
Reed, the Republican party in
Pennsylvania has taken up the
Challenge and will offer an
opposition to certain major
policies in the New Deal pro-
gram. This means that it will
not be necessary for the voters
of Pennsylvania. who do not
share Governor Pinchot's en-
thusiasm for the entire New
Deal program, to organize a
new party in order to give
expression to their views. AS
a result the Democratic party
in Pennsylvania. to which Presi-
dent Roosevelt's leadership has
given tremendous increase
in strength, will be opposed by
rejuvenated Republican party.
And the party lineup in that
State will be duplicated in a
majority of the other States in
the Union.
The fundamental idea in
Prof. Morse's theory of party,
as interpreted by Mr.. Morrow,
was that historically party is
a substitute for revolution"
The. conflict in the Congress
between the representatives of
our two great parties over the
policy of tariff making. and
the contest in Pennsylvania and
other States between the nomi-
nees of the two parties over
the tariff and other major is
sues raised by the New Deal
probably means that from now
on the country will hear less
about political revolution and
more about party responsibility
and the relative merits of DEM
ocratic and Republican policies,
administration and legislation.

Human Side of the News

New Yorker, was on the star
board watch. Suddenly he went
speechless, his tongue for the
moment paralyzed. Then he
cried out to the officer on the
bridge: Torpedo coming on the
starboard bowl"
The words had scarcely died
on his lips before the angel of
death had struck the very heart
of the ship. What happened
next? Many and varied had
been the versions OF the sur
vivors, but there was one OBJ
server who was calm and col.
lected as he looked on the scene.
Let us have the story from him,
Lieutenant Captain SchWeiger
of the Order of the Iron Cross.
Here is what he set down in his
diary:
Right ahead appear four fun
nels and two masts of a steamer.
Clean bow-shot from 700 r1eters
range. The superstructure and
the high bridge are rent asun-
der. Fire breaks out and smoke
envelops the high bridge. The
ship stops Immediately and
quickly heels to starboard, at
the same time diving deeper at
the bows. She has the appear
ance of being about to capsize.
There is great confusion on
board, boats being cleared and
partly lowered to the water.
They must have lost their heads.
Many boats. crowded are let
down, bow first or stern first,
and Immediately fill and sink.
Few lifeboats can be made clear
on the port side. owing to the
slant of the ship.
"The ship blows up. In the
front appears the name Lusi-
tania in gold letters. 1t seems
as if the vessel will be afloat
only a short time. We sub

sea. I could not have fired a
second torpedo into this throng
of humanity attempting to I:7e
themselves"
Only 18 minutes after the
Lusitania was struck, she
plunged head first to the bot
tom, and more than 100 Amer
ican citizens were among the
1,195 persons who died so ter
ribly.
Defenseless Victims
Elbert Hubbard and his wife
walked hand in hand from the
deck to their stateroom to die
together. And of Che IS babies,
only four were to reach the
coast of Ireland alive. If his
tory has a more shocking act in
its pages, I know not of it
Ruthless as war must be. here,
nevertheless, was the murder of
a great ship and the assassl-
nation of almost 1900 persons
without note of warning, with
out a single opportunity offered
for boats to be lowered. The
excuse - the extenuation - Of
fered by the Imperial German
Government was that the Lusi-
tania carried munitions of war,
and was an armed ship. But
as against that. we have the
records of the custom house Of
the port of New York, and the
explicit statement of the collec-
tor of the port, Dudley Field
Malone, that, when the Lusi-
tania was inspected by United
States Government agents be-
fore she sailed, no guns were
found, mounted or unmounted,
and that the vessel sailed with"
out armament. No merchant
ship would have been allowed to
arm in port and leave the har'

the ex-President wrote out a
message to his countrymen,
sterniy advocating that every
German ship in every harbor
in the United States should be
detained and held until the
completest satisfaction was
rendered by the imperial Ger

Roosevelt had the vision to rec

the United States was caught
in the maelstrom which was
whirling the civilized world into
war; that there was no escape;
that we, would be forced in
