BEST STRATEGY
The presence in Washington of
cenators called thirther by the Eng
lish inpeachment, gives rise to all
manner of conjecture touching the
regular session which will convene
about one week hence. Thia session
of course is of the old congress and
not of the one chosen on Nov. 2.
The relative party strength is not
far different from what it was be
fore the summer adjournment.
Even in the present congress, how
ever, Republican control of the up
per branch is scant enough to make
it possible for the Insurgent group
to play hob with administration
plans whenever the spirit of mischief
dictates such a policy. The present
gossip is that this group of pseudo
Republicans, joining with the Demo
cratic minority in the short session
may force an early convening of the
new congress by the familiar device
of withholding approval of essentia1
supply bills.
This would bring a situatior
whereby for twenty months preced
ing the next presidential election,
congress might remain at work, its
upper branch no more than nominal
ly Republican, turning out a grist
of politics, usable if not useful in
the campaign. A president devoted
to quiet who is at least a tentative
candidate to succeed himself, might
well pray for relief from such con
stant legislative espionage.
The most obvious answer to all
this is that it is not likely to happen
As little as they like Republican re
gulars, the insurgents like Demo
crats even less. They may unite with
the minority for temporary advan
tage now and then, but there is lit
tle probability of an agreement for
mal or lasting enough to jeopardize
administration control.
On the contrary, there are severa
reasons why the insurgent group is
is worth while for them to seem tc
be Republicans. Committee prefer
ment, to which even an insurgent
cannot be indifferent, makes it advis
able to kick over the traces too often
The inducements to be good during
the coming month are too plain to be
ignored.
With the agricultural situation not
improved, with immediate . tax re
duction in prospect and with ordin
ary politics rampant, congress will
face a winter of activity. It would
not be strange if conditions, with
out any artificial stimulas, required
a special session.
Any group however, that tries to
force such a Bession for partisan ad
vantage would almost certainly de
feat its own purpose. The public
would have no patience with such r
program.
Mr. Coolidge Insists there is nc
politics in tax revision. The same
may be said of most of the issue?
now in prospect. It would be a re
lief if political spokesmen, instead
of discussing party strategy in con
nection with the next session, would
discuss means of non-partisan pub
lic service. In the end that might
prove the very highest strategy.
:o:
Mrs. Sarah Jane Taylor, 92-year-old
Mormon, boasts that she has the
largest family in the United States.
It numbers in all 308. How vain!
Let her consider the family of any
common housefly and be humble.
;o:
A Boston judge has ruled that a
man is not insane simply because he
thinks about women. Naturahy a man
may think about women without be
ing crazy about them.
Federal men uncovered a mail-order
liquor house in New Tork. That's
one less catalog the farmer will have
to bother with.
Mr. Kellogg's plain intimation that
Mexico is meddling in the politics of
Central America has moved the Mex
icans to gales of laughter. They re
call that the United States had done
a great deal of meddling in the poli
tics of Central America, and particu
larly have not forgotten the little
revolution fermented by Mr. Roose
velt to gain for us the Panama Canal
strip.
However it is no more reprehensible
in Mexico to project her ideas into
Central America than it has been for
us to so project our own. The Mex
icans make this point, and it is a
palpable bit. It is not true, they pro
test, that Mexican government is med
dling in Central American politics
It is true, perhaps, that the principles
of the Mexican revolution are at large
in that part of the world, and it is
quite well known that these are what
is unsettling government in such
states as Nicaragua and Guatemala
The enterprises of Mexican citizens
are not easily controlled, even if Mex
ico attempted to control them. We
have had abundant proof of this dif
ficulty in restraining Americans dis
posed to filibuter in Central America
Mr. Kellogg appears to be living
up to his cognomen of "Nervous Nel
ly." His fear that Mexico is project
ing bolshevism into Central America
and that it may become a barrier be
tween ourselves and the Panama
Canal, is laughable. We have about
as much to fear from bolshevism in
that quarter as we have to fear from
it in Russia. Central America is mov
ing to liberalism, which it has never
had. It sees the fruits of liberalism
in the United States, and it aspiret
to be as we are. Is there anything
strange about that?
:o:
THE PUBLIC'S T0EP0B
For the second time within two
months a former member of President
Harding's cabinet stands before the
bar of justice on a criminal charge.
Harry M. Daugherty, former Attor
ney General, was the first. Albert B.
Fall, former Secretary of the Inter
ior, is the second. Daugherty es
caped a possible term in the peniten
tiary when the jury disagreed. He
will be tried again, according to the
present plans of the government.
Fall awaits his fate.
If the public is shocked, it gives
no sign. The newspapers gave much
space to the Daugherty trial, and
will report fully the trial of Fall.
Fraud upon the government, how
ever, is not an exciting subject these
days. Both Fall and Daugherty cases
involve intricate transactions whose
details are not easy to master. They
cannot be reduced to the simple lingo
of sex crimes and kidnaping cases.
However, the main fact is clear,
namely, that Fall and Daugherty, a
few years ago, honored high officials,
are now charged with, criminal of
fenses. That shows how the tone of
our public life has been lowered. In
other times, it would cause the keen
est public discussion. The Fall and
Daugherty cases once would have
been celebrated cases.
Now they are eclipsed by pig wom
en, half-wits and back-alley murders.

HISTORY WITH A HEART
History should be humanized. Prof.
Wilbur Cortez Abbott, of Harvard
university recommends to the Ameri
can Historical Association. Unless
history is read, it is not worth the
writing, says Abbott.
History, in these days, Dr. Abbott
believes, has grown to be rather too
specific. Historians have become too
much like the man who knows how
to screw Nut No. 46 onto a flivver,
but understands nothing of the func
tions of the other forty-five.
To understand our heritage, we
must know our ancestors. We want
something real, something solid and
personal and human' to pin our facts
upon.

Excess Uric Acid Gives Rise to Many

SPECIAL SESSION
In the republican press in the East
the alarming legend is being created
that the wicked democrats will be
more wicked than usual If they com
pel Mr. Coolidge to call a special ses
sion of congress after March next.
That Is easy to understand. Mr. Cool
idge shines most brightly when he
monopolizes the publicity from Wash
ington through the uniterrupted and
uncontradicted outpourning of the
official spokesman. Mr. Coolidge
shines least brightly when he is at
tempting to lead the party which is
supposed to think so highly of him.
This new congress, moreover, is less
than ever a Coolidge congress, and the
longer it can be kept from assem
bling the more placid will be the at
mosphere of the White House.
