washington, -. Cit is now SET
tied definitely that the country soon
will have that apparently necessary
thing known as a working Con-
gress.' Indeed, Washington with
out Congress seems as dismal as
an old time fair ground without a
fair. The Presidents latest fireside
chat makes it evident that by the
fifteenth of next month, the legis-
lative body of the land will be back
on the job and doing something,
even though what is done may not
always meet with the approval of
the on-lookers, whether: or not they
are vitality concerned. In any event,
before long we shall have Congress
again with us, either as a target
for condemnation or an object of
applause. The constituents, too,
will feel better when they know
that their Federal representatives
are earning their pay.
Congress has plenty of work cut
out for it, if it disposes of all. the
important measures to which the
President has invited its attention,
and especially so since details will
have to be worked out in the leg
islative halls. The list of matters
requiring attention is appalling,
even if the major headings alone
are considered. Crop surplus is to
be made the subject matter of law
enactment and the wise men must
6ccide how lc~d best cen be used.
More must be done about wages
ANA hours and the employment of
c',1!ren. Irrigation and flood con-
troll must he l~o'zcd after. The Fed
eral Government, in general. is said
to need an overnauling. Add to
these the routine work and the
emergency action that is an incident
of a congressional session, and it
will be seen that the extra convo-
cation is not due to be carried to
the skies of adjournment on what
the hymn writer calls flowery beds
of ease.
A review of the doings of 1888
mentions only the fact that there
was a bad fire in Charleston, S. c.,
and that people were interested in
tn performance Of the Great Wes-
tern, one of the largest ships then
afioat, from which it appears that
the year 1888 was made up of
peaceful and uneventful days. No
such quiet can be hoped for in 1888,
and one is inclined to sing about
the happy days that are to come
again, or to wish for the good old
times when all that there was to
break the serenity was fire or a
new boat.
It seems impossible to touch on
current events in Washington
without referring repeatedly to ia
pan and China, and to the war IN
Spain. In the Orient, the Japs blow
up train of English motor trucks,
which if it does nothing else, brings
into print the new useful word
'motorcade" France threatens to
call out her reserves if tension along
the Spanish border does not lesson.
It will be recalled that mine ex-
ploded under the battleship Maine
brought on the trouble of 1898. It
seems as though a 'Emotorcade'' or
any other equally simple object
might be the cause of setting on
foot conflict that would involve
Asia and Europe. Those who have
not forgotten the Thirty Years War
will recall that, in substance, it was
started by throwing some ENJOYS
out of the window upon a manure
pile Only similar incident"
seems necessary to start the can
mons burning throughout world
alleged to be civilized and abhor-
rent of war.

Discovery of the body ended a
statewide search for King following
publication of a note received by
the Oakland Tribune and signed by
King. The note said:
You will find my Wife's body
in room 80, Taft hotel, 18th and
Telegraph"
At that address police found the
body of Margaret Elizabeth King,
%, mother of a six year old boy.
Cause of death was unknown. Kings
suicide strengthened police belief
that his wife may have been muir
dered.
The Tribune said King had in
timated in other communications
that he intended to commit suicide
Autopsy physicians J. N. Reeves
and B. Jenkins, after preliminary
examination of the body, said they
had reached no definite conclusions
concerning cause of Mrs. Kings
death, but revealed they had sent
the stomach contents and blood
samples to a chemical laboratory
for analysis.
Mrs. King apparently did not
die as the result Of violence, they
said, because there were no marks
of violence on the body. Coroner
Grant D. Miller said death may
have been caused by natural causes,
poison, suffocation or fright.

Lawyers pointed out that the
courts reason for rejecting the
pleas was that neither of the petit
TONERS had established sufficient
personal interest-but merely
general interest common to all
members of the public"
Hughes explanation, it was be-
lieved, clearly indicated that any
attorney representing htigants be-
fore the court might raise the ques-
ton again and, if sufficient per-
sonal interest was shown, obtain
a definite ruling from the court
on the Justices eligibility.
Neither of the petitioners in the
Black cases decided yesterday-Al-
bert Levitt, former assistant to the
attorney general, and Patrick Hen
ry Kelly, Boston attorney-showed
personal interest "other than that
of citizen and a member of the
