WHAT FIGHTING WILL HE OVER
• AT THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS.
Whether this will be a long or short session of Congress is a moot ques
tion among the lawmakers, but all agree that it will bo a militant session.
Here are some of the troubles that must be fought out:
“What is a Republican?” Regulars vs. Insurgents.
“Postal Savings Banks.” President, Insurgents and Democrats vs.
Senator Aldrich et al.
“Investigating the Sugar Trust.” Progressive Republicans and some
Democrats vs. VVhite House, Department of Justice and reactionary legis
lators.
“Smashing Nicaragua and taking charge of it.” Jingoes vs. anyone who
gets in the way.
“What shall be done with the tariff?” A spectre that will not down.
Taft vs. anyone who mentions the subject.
“Federal control of interstate commerce.” The railroads vs. the country.
“Shall women vote?” The ladies, with no one to oppose them openly,
but horrid man can smile and smile and be a villain still, and the women
know it and are not going to take any chances.

“EVEN FROM
NEW JERSEY.”
Representative Hughes, of New
Jersey, was standing in the lobby of
the House, when a guide passed him
in company with a couple of women
visitors.
“That is Representative Hughes, of
New Jersey,’’ said the guide.
“Is that so?” said the woman,
“Why, Laura, they have them from
all over, even New Jersey.” .

INSURGENTS TO
HARASS CANNON.
The Republican insurgents of the
House of Representatives have
evolved a plan by which they hope to
put through a bill at the present ses
sion of Congress creating a postal
]0
How Cannon Greets* Insurgents,
savings bank and at the same time
routing the leadership of Nelson W.
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, and Joseph
G. Cannon, of Illinois.
In laying aside their plans to op
pose the responsible leadership in the
House and Senate the insurgents have
selected one of the measures whose
passage at this time is recommended
urgently in the annual message of
President Taft.
FEARS DULL
SESSION.
The minority leader in the House,
Representative Champ Clark, of Mis
souri, predicts ail inactive session if
the desires of the Republican leaders
are carried out.
“We may be here a long time,” said
Mr Clark, “but the present intention
of the Speaker and his advisers is to
do littlfe more than pass the necessary
appropriation bills and adjourn.
“It will be the duty of the Denio
crats and the ‘insurgents’ to force ac
tion on some of the important meas
ures which will be introduced. I look
forward with great confidence to the
coming Congressional elections. I
have not mapped out a particular pro
gram to be followed at this session,
but I am determined to do all I can
to force some general legislation.”

TOLD MEMBER
TO “BEAT IT.” v
The whiskers of Representative W.
R. Ellis, of Oregon, got him in the
limelight of publicity in the last ses
sion of Congress and incidentally in a
mi'c-up with a doorkeeper. In this
session Mr. Ellis’ lack of whiskers
has produced the same result.
Mr. Ellis came to Congress with a
fine array of brown whiskers. Later
they turned white. This was natural
enough, but when he turned up at the
extra session with whiskers shaded
between a red and a pink a doorkeep
er told him that none but members
were allowed on the floor.
Mr. Ellis showed up in the House
with no whiskers. When the strange
looking man took his seat a doorkeep
er spied him and invited him to “beat
it.”
“Why, I am Representative Ellis,
of Oregon,” said the statesman.
"Oh,” said the doorkeeper.

BAILEY PROPOSES
NIGHT SESSIONS.
Some interest was injected into the
Senate proceedings by the announce
ment of Senator Bailey, of Texas, that
he had become enamored of the cus
tom of the British Parliament of
meeting in the evening. The Texan
said he realized the futility of asking
the Senate to conform to that custom
just now, but urged that the custom
ary rule providing that the Senate
shall meet at “12 meridian” be
amended to read “2 post meridian.”
Mr. Bailey did not put his suggestion
in the form of a motion, and the
usual rule was adopted. It is a safe
prediction that “the British idea” will
find little favor in the upper house,
although its sponsor purposes to press
his suggestion later on.

WILL STARTLE
THE COUNTRY.
Reports of the extent of the white
slave traffic in connection with immi
gration have been prepared by the
Immigration Commission for submis
sion to Congress, which will startle
the country. If the story of condi
tions as they are found to exist by
the special agents of the commission
do not stir Congress to action the
members of the commission will be
greatly disappointed in the effect of
the results of their investigations.
At a special meeting of the com
mission the report was laid before
the full membership for approval and
practically completed. It will be laid
before Congress very soon, probably
before Januhry 1. It is the plan of
j the commission to give to Congress
| the result of its work by subjects in
' stead of in one bulky volume. Since
j the authorization of the commission
ends with March 1 this must be done
during the present session. Follow
ing the white slave report will come
* * . *■ . L
one upon “Steerage /Conditions,” as
affecting immigration, and one on
“Immigrant Homes.”
Representative Mann, of Illinois,
chairman of the Committee on Inter
state and Foreign Commerce, intro
duced his promised'bill for Federal
suppression of the “white slave”
traffic through the power given Con
gress over interstate and foreign com
merce by the Constitution. It makes
it a felony punishable by a fine of
35 000 or imprisonment for five years,
or both, to induce or coerce any
woman or girl to go from one place to
another “in interstate or foreign com
merce” for an immoral purpose,
whether with or without her consent.
The purchasing of a ticket on any
common carrier to enable a woman to
travel for such a purpose is almost
made to come within the ban of the
law.
In the case of a girl less than eigh
teen years of age the penalties are
doubled. It also directs the Commis
sioner-General of Immigration to ob
tain and keep a complete record of all
women immigrating to this country
for immoral purposes, and provides a
penalty of 32000 fine or two years in
prison, or both, for persons harbor
ing such a woman and refusing to file.,
her record with the Commissioner-
General of Immigration.

SENATOR DIDN’T

KEYNOTE IS
CONSERVATISM.
Conservatism is noticeable in the
views expressed by members of both
houses of Congress. Even those who
only a few days ago loudly pro
claimed their purpose to institute
sweeping investigations into trustsand
controversies admitted that, on reflec
tion, they had determined to make
haste slowly. Senator Borah, who
had announced his purpose thorough
ly to ventilate the affairs of the Sugar
Trust and its violations of the cus
toms law, said he would introduce a
resolution calling for an investiga
tion, but would permit it to “lie on
the table” pending the conclusion of
the prosecutions being conducted by
the Department of Justice. Repre
sentative Campbell, who purposed to
introduce a similar resolution in the
House, admitted that he had decided
to consult the Attorney-General be
fore doing so. Senator Nelson, who
intended to father an investigation of
the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, has
for the present, at least, thought bet
ter of it. Representative Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, a Democrat, introduced
a resolution calling for an investiga
tion of the General Land Office, which
went to the Committee on Rules.
