MUCH TO DO Congress, recovering after its recess, is sitting down to a protracted sitting. The present extra session will dovetail into the regular session which opens the first Monday in December. Then for an indefinite number of months legislative activities will be in evidence in Washington. How fruitful of good works this Congress will be remains to be demonstrated. While some important work has been consumed since April, when President Harding convoiced the extra session, yet the chief legislation projected remains to be put into effect. Revision of taxation; formulating of a tariff measure; ratification of peace treaties; the problem of the railroads; soldier bonus; funding of foreign debts—these are some of the major measures which are to engage the attention and activities of Congress. It is not amiss to express the wish—although there is slight hope of realization on the wish—that Congress would put aside all petitions and paltering and politics, and be actuated by patriotism and high sense of duty; and that the legislative business of import which is now pending would be dispatched segaciously and with businesslike care and promptitude. A reasonable wish, truly, but alas! for the ways of Congress! There is sure to develop bickering, and parrisian drive, and filibustering, and waste of time in trivial debate—and a long train of banal obstructions which would discredit a village debating society, and yet this is Congress! "How long, Oh Lord! how long" must the country be plagued with this Nero-fiddling-while Rome is burning perversity of its chief legislative body! PRESIDENT IS AT WORK; MUCH OF IMPORT President Harding, rested and freshened by his brief vacation, is back at his desk for a long period of hard and important official son. He is not a McKinley, although most frequently compared with the lamented martyr President. Mr. Harding, in other words, gives promise of developing into a type all by himself—a combination of Rooseveltian vigor, when needed, and of McKinleyesque complacency and affability when more is to be accomplished that way than by the vigorous use of "the big stick." Mr. Harding is a stickler for consistency and for redeeming the pledges that he and his party made the people. This fealty to promises will strengthen Mr. Harding and his administration with the masses. BANKERS TALK TAXES Altho many matters discussed at the Los Angeles convention of the American Bankers Assn. will be of a more or less technical nature, dealing with rates of exchange, the rehabilitation of bankrupt nations, the wider distribution of American made goods and the technic of banking in general, there is one subject up for discussion in which every man and woman will be interested. This is the question of taxation. When President Harding took office he made a party pledge that he would see that taxes were reduced and the burden taken from the shoulders of the working man and the man working on a small salary. Now, altho less than a year has passed since the present administration took office a real start has been made. We have a director of the budget in the person of General Dawes, who is doing great things to cut down governmental waste at Washington. But his efforts only show the good faith of Mr. Harding. They cannot for some time amount to enough materially reduce the taxes of the common people. The one outstanding feature of this question to date is the tariff. The days of free trade are past, and it has fallen behind humanity's best. He noblest spirit humanity's best. What man? By understanding understory pudiated him to does no ways happy to a great mass of meaning. Do catch it it, the large many cases. But altho fied Him, Him.

"How long, Oh Lord! how long" must the country be plagued with this Nero-fiddling-while Rome is burning perversity of its chief legislative body! PRESIDENT IS AT WORK; MUCH OF IMPORT President Harding, rested and freshened by his brief vacation, is back at his desk for a long period of hard and important official work. He is keeping in close touch with congress and the formulating of tariff and tax revision measures. The peace treaty with Germany and Austria-Hungary will be before the senate soon for ratification. Important developments are in prospect relating to official recognition of the government of Mexico. The President, too, is taking deep interest in the forthcoming conference on limitation of armaments. Mr. Harding has been in the White House long enough for the country and the world to get his measure, as an official. The man who went to the Presidency an uncertain quantity—uncertain because comparatively little known—is developing into a very vigorous and efficient type of chief magistrate. He is not a Colonel Roosevelt, it is true. He is not a Woodrow Willson. LUMBER YARDS Adams-Bowers Lumber Co. Gibbs Lumber Co. C. Ganahl Lumber Co. REAL ESTATE The J. T.

TITTLE Some one has said of Mazzini that for him "Jesus was the epitome of humanity and Calvary a summary of history." Jesus represents humanity at its best. He represents what earth's noblest spirits aspire to be. He is humanity's ideal realized. What happened to this ideal man? By the crowd he was not understood. By a few he was clearly understood. And these few repudiated him. In fact, they caused him to put to death. Does not this represent what always happens in the first instance, to a great deal? The slow-moving masses of men do not catch its meaning. Of the relatively few who do catch its meaning, some embrace it, the larger number resist it. In many cases it is crucified. But altho Jesus' enemies crucified Him, they did not destroy Him. They lifted Him up on a cross where the long-suffering masses of mankind could see Him—and understand Him. They made it impossible for future generations to forget Him. The world's policy with reference to men who seek to incarnate great ideals has always been, "Treat 'em rough." Has there ever been a generation that did not treat its prophets rough? But the one sure way to immortalize a prophet is to treat him rough. Put him in a dungeon. Nail him to a cross. Burn im at the stake. Give him a 20-year prison sentence. Then you will have canonized him. You will have placed him in a position where the crowd cannot fall to see him. You will have made it certain that future generations will remember him. Jesus is, indeed, "an epitome of humanity, and Calvary a summary of history." As Jesus dreamed His dream of diviner civilization, so humanity in the persons of its noblest representatives has always done, and will continue to do. Jesus suffered for His idealism, so humanity in the persons of its prophets has ever suffered, and ever will. But just so surely as Jesus conquered when He died, just so surely will a long-suffering humanity realize eventually its unsur-rundered ideals, even tho', as at this present moment, some one ideal is being crucified. But before any great ideal can be realized one condition must be met. Men and women must be found who are willing to die for it, or more difficult still, perhaps, to live for it—live despised and rejected of men. If the church really desires the triumph of certain great Christian ideals she must be prepared to pay a big price. Some of her revenue may be cut off. Some of her prominent clergymen may even find themselves in prison "for conscience sake." New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price Did you ever try to pick out a musical program for an occasion when you wanted to please an audience? Representing every race, creed, temperament and degree of singing ability? The problems of the Limitations of Armament conference are simple in comparison. That is the little task which Mrs. David Allen Campbell of New York, editor of the Musical Monitor and chairman of the National Song Service, has just completed. And it is something to be proud of. The National Song Service is an annual celebration held throughout the country on Armistice Day. A New York bank has received an interesting set of replies to a questionnaire it recently sent out. The questions were asked of representative fashionable clothes shops and were concerned with the matter of prices. The results indicate that "style" has reduced its quota of the charge one pays for clothes. The stores selected were those serving people more concerned with the proper label in a coat than the cost of its material and more interested in "exclusive lines" than in what a garment costs. And these are the shops that have had to cut the deepest in their prices, according to the returns. "The people who can spend money without counting it if they wish to no BETTER by Lucy Jeanne Price Did you ever try to pick out a musical program for an occasion when you wanted to please an audience representing every race, creed, temperament and degree of singing ability? The problems of the Limitations of Armament conference are simple in comparison. That is the little task which Mrs. David Allen Campbell of New York, editor of the Musical Monitor and chairman of the National Song Service, has just completed. And it is something to be proud of. The National Song Service is an annual celebration held throughout the country on Armistice Day, under the auspices of the National Council of Women, Philip North Moore, president, in which Mrs. Campbell is chairman of community singing. The council believes this year's program has met the universal demand. Communities in every state of the union will carry it out uniformly on November 11. It's worth telling about, I think, because of other program makers who are looking for the same kind of thing. That grand old hymn, "Come, Thou Almighty God," opens the program, and other of the tried and tested songs on it are "The Recessional," "Nearer, My God to Thee," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Old Folks at Home," and "Lead, Kindly Light." Then there are two new ones, "Our America" and "Land of Mine." The latter, by James G. MacDermid with words by Wilbur Nesbit established itself in its appeal to crowds of any nation or any faith during the Liberty Loan rallies. "It is an even better song to get the audience into the spirit of singing than are our old standbys," said one of the committee, "because A New York bank has received an interesting set of replies to a questionnaire it recently sent out. The questions were asked of representative fashionable clothes shops and were concerned with the matter of prices. The results indicate that "style" has reduced its quota of the charge one pays for clothes. The stores selected were those serving people more concerned with the proper label in a coat than the cost of its material and more interested in "exclusive lines" than in what a garment costs. And these are the shops that have had to cut the deepest in their prices, according to the returns. The people who can spend money without counting it if they wish to, no longer wish to—that's the answer." summarized one of these merchants. "They still have money, they still buy, they still want good clothes, but they won't buy them without asking the price. Something has happened to their viewpoint rather than to their pocket-books." The questionnaire reveals further a general "pick up" in the retail trade. Pursons are going well again and a generally busy winter and spring seems forecasted. "The White-Headed Boy" given by the Irish Players has had one of the big receptions of the season to date. Charles Dillingham is presenting it at the Henry Miller Theater, but the Players have superintended the production so that it is truly their own. It is the happiest comedy they have given in years, and will accordingly be the most popular without a doubt. Several of the actors are in the company whom we learned to know in their previous productions here, Arthur Sinclair, J. A. O'Rourke and Maire O'Neill, being particularly well-remembered.
