Fess, of Ohio, calls atten- tion to the mania for legislation. The demand that th< government do everything for everybody, he believes is the most dangerous tendency in our politics. Senator I says: “During the past winter the country at large was flooded with 30,000 proposals for legislation. The Congress which adjourned on March 4, after three months’ session, supplied food for thought. “The Senate calendar shows at on over 1,100 bills and resolutions. shows action on nearly a thousand. This is about ten ‘pec day during the session. The supply bills passed in the three months amounted to about four thousand million dollars, or forty millions per day, or one and two-thirds millions per hour, “Notwithstanding this enormous grind of the legislative mill the pressure of propaganda of interested groups with representatives domiciled in the capital, continues. Con- gressmen without abatement are importuned, cajoled and | threatened on behalf of legislation, by letter, conference and interviews. In one of the five daily mails that reach each senator's office, one delivery brought to one senator, 1,069 | letters. The legislator who openly r aganda is stigmatized as a stand-patter, with no sympathy ; with forward-looking progressivism. “The danger is not alone in the mere number of laws enacted or attempted but also in the character of the pro- posals. Sound economic consideration is thrown to the winds. Public appeal for political favor is embraced. The statesman gives «way to the politician. Every proposal is given the political bias. The consideration is not so much what will be the ultimate effect of the measure upon the country, but rather what will be the immediate effect of his vote upon the people. Not so much the unbiased judgment of the pgislator as to the soundness or unsoundness of the proposed legislation, but rather what will most likely be the attitude of the people back home on the measure. If the issue is in grave doubt, then how can commitment be avoided, or at least be concealed ?” The “folks back home” as well as members of Congress, declares Senator Fess, should cease thinking in terms of local selfishness and begin thinking in terms of national welfare. ! least: favorable action | 7 i The House calendar MAD DO! The “dog days” are upon us. Whenever there is a summer hot spell, reports of people being bitten by dogs increase and there is apt to be a fine “mad dog” scare. It is well to keep a few facts in mind in this connection. First of all, hot weather does not cause rabies any more than it causes fallen arches, x A dog contracts rabies only through the bite of an in- fected dog. There is no other way. In hot weather healthy dogs get irritable and peevish. Naturally, there are more people bitten. But don’t get alarmed and conclude that your neighborhood is infested with mad dogs If you are bitten by a dog that you think may have rabies, however, see a physician at once. Prompt action is almost certain to check the disease, if the dog were really in- fected; delay may be fatal. And if you own a dog, have it inoculated against rabies. Any veterinarian can do it, for a small fee, and it is almost 100 per cent effective for fully a year. CONGRESS During the past few years there has been an almost un- precedented criticism of our national congress. Congress was never exactly free of critics. But of late the complaints and sarcasms have been louder than ever. Assuredly, our congress is far from perfect. Certainly it has many members who are no ornaments to any legisla- tive body. But isn’t it a safe bet that much of the criticism is being inspired by interests that would find their own ends served much better if congress were weakened and lost its prestige? For it’s strange that so much of this criticism should come just after congress had balked corrupt efforts to loot our national treasures. ; FOOTBALL Football has come under the ban at several colleges this summer. Officials have announced that the game became tov important, so-they have abolished it. On the other hand, we read of other institutions that arc building monster stadiums and preparing to give football a place of even greater weight. It’s a pity that all colleges can’t strike the sensible half- way path that some have adopted. Football is a good game, a worthy game, and it has its place; but it ought not to be allowed to dominate the entire school year.

The Saddler took the saddle and; buckled it onto the horse’s back. Instantly the wooden horse turned into a beautiful white mare, the Saddler turned into a prince, and the Mire-of-Mud turned into a lovely garden. “Here is your key, children,” said the Saddler—I mean the Prince. “Now get on my white mare and she will take you as far as the Cucumber Patch of the Pickle Woman.

Skin- ner posed as a fisherman and-paddled | around the Morgan pier for several days. At last Morgan came down to the pier and Skinner rowed toward him. A gust of wind blew Morgan’s hat into the water. “Hey, get my hat for me,” the capitalist bellowed at the photographer. Skinner re- trieved the hat and approached Mor- gan. “I’ll give your hat to you only if you pose for your picture,” Skin- mer said. The old man was rather proud of his hat and so agreed.

ARCTIC LAND, IF ANY, MAY BE * BETWEEN POLE AND ALASKA| Chicago.—(#)—If any new posses- sions are added to the United States by the MacMillan-Navy expedition, which involves no special effort ‘to reach the North Pole, it is believed the land must be found somewhere! between the Pole and: Alaska, But in previous explorations mirages, ‘soundings and tidal conditions have been the only encouragement that something other than ice exists in that region. Admiral Peary on his. polar trip; stood at one far northern point and saw what he believed to be land some 50 miles away. He called it “Crocker Land.” Commander Mac-!
