ROCKING THE BOAT.
Colonel Bryan still persists in his
endeavors t<» make Prohibition tin* par
amount issue in the fall campaigns.
To thi end In* is moving heaven and ,
earth to hitch his pet policy to tin*
coat tails of every Democratic candi
date in tin- country. All of which
is causing no end of embarrassment
to many of his fellow Democrats, not
even excepting the President himself.
It is no secret that President Wilson
and his associates are keenly con
cerned over tin* possibility of losing
control of congress, and to forestall
this it is imperative that the party
take on no excels baggage at this
particular time and licit they all pull
together Moreover, the President is
relying upon old Sam (tampers and
hi t row d to can y tin* elections for
til* ini i ration slate, and these
i e 1;. ;■ . openly opposed to the
im' ' ■' • "• tin prohibition amend

"i mi Bryan the other, the
'■ "* i hal'd pul to the task of
n eri'n; die boat and getting up very
i in ary given direction,

Kick or the other overboard.

" try lit; s and iiromolio is that
' " * the cur " of Washington during
tip ■ arly dins of the Civil war. It
was to the effect that he had. as i re
suit nf political pressure. ii-*en o.iliged
to make so many brigadier pi m nils
for non military purposes that one
could hardly throw a stone about the
capital without hitting one. Hut all
such troubles came to an end when
C.rant was summoned to Washington
to take charge of the armies. After
his first brief interview with the gen
cral, Lincoln could not cone nil his
pleasure and confided to a friend:
‘Thank God, we have a General, at
last! He promises no more reviews
for the amusement of the Washington
ladies and no show business. ’
It is to be assumed that President
Wilson's problems in this r »spect are
of a similar order. The swivel-chair
officers were an irremediable evil in
the early days of the war. But by
and by they will all have a chance
to go to the front and ‘here, under
fire, the real test will come.

THE "MIN ES-CONTROL” BILL
The "mines control" bill was so re
written in the senate’s committee that
it emerged quite shorn of its guise
as a mines-control bill, becoming sim
ply on authorization to tin* govern
inent to engage in trading in min Tils
uid metals, with the right to take
>ver and operate any idle mines of
die substances specified in the act.
As drafted by Senator Henderson, this
was a great improvement over the ,
House bill, which contained provisions
that the senate would never have
passed, as appeared from its debate.
The worst feature of Senator Hen
lerson's bill was the 75 per cent,
•lause.
rnfortunately. the senate let that
Hand, no one apparently noticing it:
anyway, there was no discussion of it.
However, some other amendments
were made. By one of these the ad
ministration is limited exclusively to
the substances named, and by an
other there may be no requisitioning
of ores or metals the principal money
value of which consists In minerals
or metals other than those named in
the act.
A rather unfortunate amendment is
that which prevents the President
from selling anything for less than
the purchase price or production cost.
With such a stipulation, the Secretan
syndicate in copper of 30 years ago
would have been a great many years
in liquidation. We can imagine the i
plight of the government if it be over-j
bought in ferromanganese, tin. and !
some other things, beiug unable to J
get out, even at a small sacrifice,
while the going is good.
Another amendment provides for
headquarters and offices for the ad
ministrative forces west of the Miss- I
ouri river. And. finally, one limits
salaries to the rates paid for similar !
or like services rendered in excutive
departments of the government.
With these amendments, the bill
passed the senate after a rather per
functory debate, and it now goes into
conference Further comment may
well be deferred until the bill takes
its llnaly form. Knglneerlng and Min
