OES the Congress of the United States at this cr the confidence of the people of the United States? , The nation, as a nation, is confronted by a foreign power | which denies its rights and murders its citizens, 7 | mined upon a course of ruthless barbarity which must inevitably leave ¢ | @ trail of American dead. The nation, as a nation, is challenged to protect its citizens @ave its honor. | How are the representatives of the people of the United States, | fn Congress assembled, meeting that challenge? ' rly ‘The nation, as a nation, is menaced by an outside force det or | i! o terests to the national interest? Are they meeting it with earnest endeavor to forget all d ences for the sake of national unity? Are they meeting it by merging all leseer aims in one great national purpos On the contrary, they are treating the situation as they mi treat a bill to raise the First Assistant Postmaster General's eal or a proposal to build Government hotels along the Panama Canal | They are manoeuvring around it, prodding it, equinting for party angles on it, planning to handle it with tactical turns and twists for partisan advantage. To force an extra session of Congress, on the chance of a possi Republican majority in the House, seems to certain Republican Con- gressmen much more important than prompt defense of national rights. If lining up with pacifists looks like good politica, why not? At such a moment the spectacle of Congress cheapening national | honor end inviting foreign governments to sneer at our national unity is one to try American patience and American faith. If this is the best that representative government in the greatest | @emocracy in the world can do when it comes to meeting foreign} | Insult and aggression, then representative government, as this coun-| | try knows it, is a peril. a A Food prices are falling—until the public becomes patient and the time fs ripe again. th ONCE LUXURY, NOW NECESSITY.
