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. Hiw mesmm Tl'Gasbtngton “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.” . ★★ ★ j 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 SEE THE JOKE. On the Senate's opening day Sena tor Depew came in three minutes be fore noon. He smiled to his wife up* in the gallery, frisked about shaking hands, and finally settled down to tell 1 ! J Depew Commending His Joke. Senator Burrows a joke. Mr. Bur rows did not seem to find the point, but Mr. Depew opened his mouth wide and laughed enough for both, ★ ★ ★ 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. ★ ★ ★ SENATE’S LONG AND SHORT OF IT. During the reading of the Presi dent’s message in the upper chamber when Senators Penrose and Guggen heim shook hands it tickled the gal* = leries and made some of their asso ciates pause tb take stock. Mr. Pen rose is some six and a half feet tall and constructed in proportion, while Mr. Guggenheim does not go far be yond the five-foot mark and is slight physically.
