THEY HANKER FOR HOME.
Secretary McAdoo, the President’s son in law, lias assumed
the filial duty of conveying to the solons at Washington the
presidential hope that Congress will bring the present session
to a speedy termination. Of course, both the administration
and the members of Congress desire to hasten the job, clear the
decks and get into the campaign as quickly as possible. The
administration would be very happy if by June 1 the Congress
wen* ready for the cars, but before that time it is desired to
hustle through the following program:
I Preparedness legislation and revenue measures to carry
it into effect.
2— Rural credits legislation.
3- Philippine independence, declaring the purpose of the
United States to make the Philippines free.
4 To speed up the appropriation bills.
Democratic members who come from districts normally
Republican and who are elected by reason of controversy in the
ranks of the enemy, are fidgety and unhappy, and long to get
to their fences. The Republicans, no less nervous, desire to get
into the fighting, as they believe they may be able to snatch
the lower House from Democratic control next fall. The aim of
all hands seems to be to wind up the session before the national
conventions are hold, and that means about June I, as the Re
publicans will father June 7 to make the presidential nom
ination.
Menace of a crisis with Japan comes at an opportune time
for the preparedness agitators.
-:o:
The trouble with the country is that the large profit shar
ing on shrapnel making is turning us into a lot of grapenuts.
-jo;-—
Having failed' to kill off Kmperor William, rumor has now
tinned upon aged Kmperor Francis Joseph as a more likely
object.
■-:o:
Mr. Bryan’s Commoner has opened a campaign against
flu* use of tobacco, but it “shoots snipes’’ so often that few will
notice.
-- -;o :
The Seward city council has adopted the Australian ballot
system, and’ it will go into effect at the coming municipal
election.
-;o ;•—
The Republican candidate will be born in the convention,
.says Chairman llilles. He’ll have enough nurses to keep him
from getting colic.
-:o:
Why is it that some writers still insist that submarines
and not the larger fighting ships are the thing? If that were
true Germany would have her ports open.
The collapse of the Persia “crisis” now leaves the admin
istration entirely without one for the first time in several
months. The Mexican situation, had as it is, long ago lost its
crisis possibilities through overuse.
Mr. Wilson’s plant to “free” the Filipinos in four years
at least postpones the resultant mess until the close of his
second term, if In* is re-elected. 'The scheme is protuberant
with the pimples of political boyhood.
----;o:-—
The man who practised hanging himself until he knew
positively how to do it, and then did it, without a hitch or a
bobble and with no word of complaint, was an example of pre
paredness which many more of us might emulate with benefit
to our beloved country.
-;o:
Inventor Maxim now promises to the world a noiseless
locomotive, which will be very nice, indeed, but those whose
unnatural methods of life compel them to dine in restaurants
would concede to him a maximum tribute should' be invent n
noiseless bowl of soup.
If England has approved the Japanese* program in China
it is because England has trade expectations in the Orient, and'
it is time the Cuited States are driving her diplimatic salesmen
and consular agents into the celestial hailliwick. England has
eyes on world trade. She is laying plans to recoup her lost
fortunes after the war. If she can bag China and Japan at one
swoop of the net site is making headway.
The income tax law has been upheld in tot'o by the unani
mous voice of the supreme court of the Cuited States. The
ruling is of such breadth that, in the opinion of tin* government
officials and congressional leaders, tin* way is opened toward'
compelling great fortunes to participate more largely to the
public treasury. The public likes the income tax plan. It
satisfies a sense of justice. The tendency is toward a still
higher ration of contribution. Congress is likely to add to the
burdens of the rich at the present session.
