planning to end congress.
A plan to end the session of con
gress Saturday, June 20, has been
started by Senator Kern, Democrat
ic leader of the Senate. It may end
sooner. Senator Kern’s program
contemplates a division of the work
of the session as follows:
1—Passage of the Panama tolls bil;.
o—passage of anti-trust legisla
tion.
3—Miscellaneous business, includ
ing a variety of odds and ends, but
no measure of signal importance
Senator Kern intends within a few
days to confer with senators inform
ally with a view to reacting an
agreement that will facilitate the
work of the session. He will try to
bring about a “gentleman’s under
standing,” not only as to the date of
adjournment, but as to the. limitation
on the program indicated and the
amount of time that shall be consum
ed in debate on each feature of the
program. When this is done all
hands can pull together to wind up
the session.
It is an easy matter to bring the
House of Representatives around to
adjournment on a specified date. The
machinery of the House, including
the committee on rules, is such as
to choke off the lonw-winded mem
bers whenever it is applied to that
purpose. But in the Senate, where
there is no cloture, it is necessary
to proceed diplomatically and reach
a common agreement such as Sena
tor Kern is attempting to bring about.
Senator Kern’s leadership in this
matter is said to be in accord with
the wishes of President Wilson. The
president has made the backs of the
solon bow and creak under a load
of heavy work for more than a year
of constant grind and now he is will
ing they shall take a well-earned rest
before beginning the even fiercer
grind of the campaign.—Ex.
II has come to pass, the decree
says, lhat women must fit the gowns,
and not gowns the women. Anoth
er transformation would be happier—
to make the gowns tit the pocketbook,
instead of compelling the pocket
book to tit the gowns.
An Illinois man killed his wife af
