OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington, Auk. 20.-3 n abandoning the Idea
of calling an extra session of Congross
in November, President Roosevelt has
handed out no encouragement to the men
who are fighting railroad-rate legislation,
or to the stand-pat Republicans who dis
agree with him on the tariff question.
The absndonmpnt of an extra, session in
November will have little effect upon the
actual work of the next Congress. It
simply means that, instead of getting to
gether and organizing in November, Con
gress will meet on the Urst Monday In
December, will organize In the days pre
ceding the holiday recess, and will be
roady for work soon after the first of
January, instead of the first of Decem
ber. But Congress will not shorten the
session, for the time that is taken off
at the beginning will be tacked on at
the end, and It is now probable that the
first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress,
Instead of adjourning In April next, will
run well Into the Summer.
President Roosevelt has not abandoned
hope of securing the passage of a railroad-rate
bill, nor has he given up hope
of securing a readjustment of the tariff
to meet new conditions. And it may be
sot down as an absolute fact that, if the
President makes clear his position and
In a message to Congress insists upon
railroad-rate legislation as well as tariff
legislation, the House of Representatives
will pass bills very closely in line with
his ideas, and won't waste much time
about it, either.
People Behind President.
The people of the United States, espe
cially the voters, have become pretty
thoroughly imbued with the idea that
there ought to be legislation on the rail-r&ad-rate
question. They believe the
President would not have taken his firm
stand without cause, and the peole are
with the Chief Executive. A great many
of them, undoubtedly a large majority,
agree with him that the time has come
when there should be a readjustment of
tariff rates, especially the rates that af
fect industries no longer needing protec
tion behind a tariff wall, but which are
taking advantage of the , protection af
forded by the Dingley law to sell their
products abroad at less price than they
command in this country.
Some of the most influential Re
publicans in Congress disagree with
President Roosevelt on these two 1s
sues. but the mass of the people aro
with him. and very few Republican
Representatives in the House, who aro
responsible directly to the people, are
going to split with the President if he
makes up his. mind to have rate and
tariff legislation. There Is a Congres
sional election next year, closely fol
lowing the coming session .of Con
gress: the voters will bear In mind
.the action of their representatives on
what have developed into the two
great issues of tho day. and those Re
publicans who are seeking another
term will have a care to framo their
oourse In line with the wishes of their
constltutenta.
Senate Not With the People.
But tho Senate is not so readily
reached; the Senate Is not elected
every two years. Its members serv
for six years, and only one-third of
i,ts membership will be elected by
Legislatures which are chosen in 19DC.
Moreover, State Legislatures do not
always reflect the sentiment of tno
people of a state; many Legislatures
are controlled by the very elements
that are opposed to revision of the
tariff and railroad-rate legislation.
Senators from states with such Legis
latures will have little to fear by op
posing the President at the coming
session, provided they faithfully serve
the interests that elected them.
There is little doubt that the Presl
"dont lost ground when he failed to
call' Congress together in extra ses
sion in April. Had he done so. ho
.could have kept It continuously until
a railroad bill was passed, and until
.final and definite action was taken on a
tariff bill. It is reasonably certain that,
if a vote can be had in the Senate, a
railroad rate bill will pass that boJy.
ihut the opponents of such legislation
will resor-t to evory known means of
filibustering to prevent a vote being
staken, and it is in such a filibuster
tlhat they repose their hopes of thwart
ling the President. Had Congress been
called together in April for the sole
purpose of passing a rate bill and a
tariff bill. President Roosevelt could.
standing pat, have held the Senate
irlglit up -to the mark; he could have
fercod continuous debate until talk
was exhausted; he could have kept
Congress in session long enough to
exhaust every filibustering schome that
could be brought into play; and when
that was doner the Senate would have
to vote.
.At a special session called to pass
a irate and tariff bill no other subject
aould be Injected -for the purpose of
"delay. The Sena-te would have to con
fine itself to railroad rates and the
tariff. The House would, of course
have acted promptly and in accordance
with the President's wishes.
Use Canal to Filibuster.
Now,, however, the filibusters will have
a good oppdrtunity to get In thoir work.
When the House passes the rate bill, the
Senate committee can get to work with
Its, delays and filibusters, but will event
v ually have to report a bill. There will,
of course, be two reports; one favoring
what will 'become the administration bill;
the other opposing it or proposing some
harmless measure as a substitute. Then
tho question goes before, the Senate, and
the protracted filibuster will begin. In
the meantime if the statehood bill is put
out of the way. the Panama canal is apt
to be brought forward and given the place
of '"unfinished business" in the Senate.
This will make the canal bill a "buffer"
for all legislation to which the Senate
leaders are opposed, and give it right of
way at all times. The canal question will
come up as to the choice between a sea-

level and a lock canal. This is a com
paratively simple question in Itself, being
largely one of dollars and cents, but the
troubles already encountered.
conditions on the Isthmus, the reorran
Izatlon of the commission, the expendi
tures already made, the question of trans
portation to and from the Isthmus, cou
pled with a discourse on the old topic,
the relative merits of the Panama and
Nicaragua routes, will give the filibusters
an endloss array of topics for idle discus
sion. Senators who have no concern about
the canal, and care not whether It Is a
sea-level or a lock waterway, will take
a profound interest in this debate, and
will sham deep concorn over what they
will term an Important National ques
tion, when, as a matter of fact, they will
take up this subject morely because It
offers an excuse to stave off consideration
of the railroad rate bill.
The debate on the statehood bill through
two Congresses has shown how effective
a filibuster can become when It is intel
ligently managed. Not five men who
talked for days on the statehood question
had the slightest concern in the fate of
New Mexico. Arizona or Indian Terri
tory; but they did want to avoid a vote on
some other measure that would surely
come up if the statehood bill was dis
placed or passed. It will be the same In
the coming Congress.
Election Will Be a Club.
A filibuster can be broken only by time,
and the President next Winter will be
called upon to fight and overcome a fili
buster. By holding Congress in session
until a vote is had on the rate bill, he
may be able to win out. even over the
Senate, for there is one thing that will
aid the President in his fight with the
Senate, the approach of an election. Con-
b,,!OS ! ways inces to adjourn early in
oieuuon year. That has been a powerful
Incentive to work in years gone by. With
an elecUon in front of them and the Pres
ident behind them, the balky Senators
may be brought to time, but it will not
be until they realize the utter futility of
further standing off President Roosevelt.
That the President is determined to
have action at the coming session is evi
denced by his recont speeches; that the
people are with him is evidenced by the
reception that is accorded his bold dec
larations, both by the people and by the
newspaers. The President has the cour
age of his convictions; he knows he has
the suort of the eole. and he is going
n to win. If he succeeds, it will be one
of the very rare Instances where a Pres
ident has brought an unwilling Senate
to time. That Is one of the hardest tasks
a President can tackle, but President
Roosevelt has the norvc the determina
tion and It is robable he has tho strength
to do It, He can and will if any Presi
dent could under the circumstances. But
it may take him until Fall to accomplish
his purpose.
May Sacrifice Tnrlff BUI.
If the Prosldent wins his fight for rail
road legislation he may have to sacri
fice the tariff bill at the coming session,
but It is known he regards the railroad
question as the more Important of thi
two at this time, and would probably be
willing to compromise on these grounds,
If he can get a satisfactory rate bill. The
discussion of the railroad question, or
rather the discussion of the railroad
question coupled with the discussion of
subjects Injected for -Ubusterlng pur
poses, will occupy so much time that
there will be little opportunity to consld-
r ii viirui. . urn in xne senate.
The House, which must originate tariff
legislation, may frame and pass a tariff
bill while the Senate is wrestling with j
the rate problem, but the chancos aro (
that the Senate will not be obliged to
surrender to tho President on the tariff
question at the coming session, provided
it passes the rate bill favored by tho
President. Thore is hardly time In a sin
gle session to dispose of two such great
questions, but there Is no telling what
President Roosevelt may be able, to do.
He has accomplished what appeared to
be Impossible In the past: he may add
another such victory to his record next
Winter. If he can got rate legislation
and tariff adjustment at the next session,
he will certainly earn the title, "Boss of
the Senate," a title no Prosident has yet
won.

THE STORE EDITOR'S BASKET.
The late Dr. Henry Thayer, the founder of Thayer's laboratory in Cambridge, Iass.,
was on his "way to his office one Winter morning in the early 60 's when the sidewalks
were a glare of ice. While going down Main street he met a lady coming in the opposite
direction. The lady was a stranger to him, although he was not unknown to her. In try
ing to avoid each other on the icy pavement they both slipped, and came to the sidewalk
facing each other, with their pedal extremities considerably entangled. While the polite
doctor was debating in his mind what was the proper thing to say or do under the trying
00 circumstances, the problem was solved by the quick-witted lady, who quietly remarked:
