NEXT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
It is expected that a great mass ot legislation will
come up before the session of congress which will con
vene in December. While not all of it will be spon
sored by the administration, it is evident that some
spectacular fights will occur over efforts to repeal
measures which President Wilson is largely respon
slblo for.
Present indications are that a determined effort
will be made to repeal the ser men's bill, which its
opponents declare is driving American vessels off the
seas. The indications are that the president and his
supporters will fight the attempted repeal to the very
Inst ditch.
There are also some indications that the South will
support a measure seeking to restore the duty on
sugar, and the attitude ot the president on that propo
sition is not yet apparent. It is believed, however,
that he will agree to a proposal to restore a rate of
half a cent a pound on sugar, especially if that propo
sition receives anything like the solid support of the
Southern element of the party.
The shipping bill, which provoked one of the
warmest fights ot the last prolonged session of con
gress, will again be pushed with all the energy at the
command ot the president. It may undergo some
modifications, but it is certain to be pressed as an ad
ministration measure.
It is said that Senator Owen ot Oklahama, will
father a resolution providing for closure in the sen
ato and the introduction of that resolution will be sig
nal for the inauguration of a struggle that will
probably last for several months. An extra session
of congress will be called, it is said, if necessary to
Insure the success ot the cloture rule.
The Columbia and Kicaraguan treaties will again
come up for consideration and will involve a long and
tedious debate in the senate. Opposition to these
measures has not diminished apparently, and the re
sult is involved in considerable doubt.
It is believed by those who are in touch with the
situation, that the hardest fight ef the session will be
over the administration's proposal for increasing naval
and military appropriations and it is feared a split
may occur in the Democratic party over this issue. It
is understood Bryan will be on hand in opposition to
the proposition and it is expected there will be some
very interesting developments to follow.
AGED AUSTRIAN EMPEROR.
Franz Joseph, the aged and sorrow stricken em
peror of Austria, had another birthday a few days ago,
and has safely entered into his 86th year. No other
crowned head in the world has experienced such bitter
sorrow as this worn and weary old man, whose life
has been one continued tragedy and whose last years
are doomed to be perhaps the most bitter he has known
in all of his miserable experience.
Austria has already suffered tremendously as a
result of the war which she precipitated. Thousands
of her fighting men have been left on the battlefield
and her military movements were constant reverses
until control of the situation was taken over by the
Germans. Austria is certain to lose heavily of her
territory as a result of the war, and the aged emperor
if he lives until that time; will grieve to see the em
pire he has held together so long go through the added
throes of dissolution. Even if Germany should tri
umph, Austria is going to be called upon to pay a
grievous price.
For 67 years Franz Joseph has ruled over his
people, and although he has been both wise and
humane, it is doubtful if he has ever seen a real happy
day. His family history has been one continued trag
edy. Napoleon III abandoned his brother, Maximilian,
to the fury of an outraged Mexico, and Maximilian's
insane widow still lives to remind him of that awtnl
day. The Meyerling tragedy, in which the Crown
Prince Rudolph was slain as the result of an Intrigue,
in 1889, was one of the hardest strikes the emperor
had to endure, and eight years after the sister of his
empress perished in the flames of the charity bazaar
in Paris. In 1898 the empress was slain by an Italian
anarchist, and the Archduke John, with the bride for
whom he had sacrificed all royal rights, was lost In a
shipwreck off Cape Horn.
Last year another great sorrow came upon the
Archduke, Fraz Ferdinand, heir to the throne, and
his wife were assassinated in Bosnia an event which
precipitated the present great European war. The
end of that war, if the emperor lives to see it, can
bring- him no happiness, for it will certainly mean
additional woes for unhappy Austria. Sad and for
lorn, the aged and stricken Austrian, emperor is one
of the most pitiable objects today In the civilized
world.
WHY GERMANY BACKS DOWN.
Since the sinking of the British passenger steamer
Arabic1 and the destruction of several additional
American citizens, Ger.many hastens to placate hostile
American sentiment with the assurance there will be
bo more sinking of passenger vessels by submarines
and that merchantmen of hostile nations will no more
be sunk without warning.
This complete change of submarine policy is in
duced by fear of what is about to happen in the
United States, for Germany realizes the note recently
delivered to that country is the last word from the
American government and unless there Is an imme
diate and satisfactory explanation of the Arabic crime
with full reparation therefor, the American govern
ment will at once sever diplomatic relations with that
country and give active support to the allies In every
manner' possible barring actual hostilities, and that
course would greatly add to Germany's troubles!
At heart tho German su'iion has always been
friendly toward the United States, and the policy of
the government In the issues that have been raised
"Tetween the two countries has not had the approval
of the sober-minded German people. They value the
friendship of the American people and realize that the
close of the war, no matter how It goes, is going to
loave them very short In- the matter of friendship.
They know they are going to need American friend
ship and American assistance when the work of re
liablllmont begins, and it U that filling that, hu
largely brought about the German change of policy
toward this country.
Tho hammering the Germans aro giving the II Ita
lians is not seemingly getting them anywhere so far as
rtio ultimate result Is concerned. It Is simply relieving
. the pressure so far as France, Great Britain and Italy
are concerned and enabling these countries to build
up and strengthen their military resources preparatory
to the great and final test of strength. Germany Is
putting up a magnificent fight, but the odds are too
great against her and the end is not yet.
Germany is going to need the friendship of tho
United States and that fact has apparently dawned on
the realization of the German government, as It has
long ago been felt and appreciated by tlvo German
people.
SELECTING Sl'CCKSSrTL COMMITTEES.
A man to make the best success on an Important
committee should
First: Have been successful In his own business
or profession. '
This does not mean that he must be the richest or
most powerful man In the city. But he must have
advanced "risen" a long distance. (If he is a
bootblack he should own his owu stand and It should
be the most successful iu town).
Second: Have public spirit.
That Is, he should have shown interest and activity
In public affairs, backed up by a genuine desire to
further the community welfare.
Third: Be able to work successfully with other
men.
This includes those elements of personality and
Qualities of mind which enable a man to work with
other people in a harmonious and constructive fashion
without friction and without arousing antagonism.
From among those having these qualifications
select for the committee representatives of each
interest likely to be affected by the committee's work,
choosing those who. In the opinion of competent
judges, after analysis, are best fitted.
Because I have found after an experience with
many committees that, of those chosen by the usual
method or lack of method, many fail, I have mude
this analysis with the hope that It may be of use.

IMPRESSIONS OF ST. HKI.ENS.
"For a long time the heralded glories of St. Hel
ens had been luring me to a visit, and it was with
pleasure that I at last found myself there. To say that
J was not disappointed is trite; to say that I was sur
prised Is bromldlc; to say that my expectations were
more than realized Is inadequate. Yet, the other well
known phrase, "beyond description," indicates the
futility of the English language, and. Inasmuch as one
Is not supposed to cast reflections on (he language
Itself so mo attempt at description is necessary.
First, then, a busy, hustling city, where everyone
is ready to be kind to a stranger; soma business men
who aro boosters. Secondly,' a climate of unsurpass
ing health-giving qualities and delight. The crying
need ot the city seems to be a few more good streets
and a few parks." The above comes from a stranger
who recently spent several weeks in our midst, as he
bta'cs in his letter, looking tor a location
HOMELESS.
When the wind blows shrill, with a deadly chill,
and we 3lt by the. cheerful blaze, do wo ever think of
the homeless gink, a-going his' weary ways? The day
light's gone and we Bit and yawn, and comfort is all
around; do we care a whoop for the dismal troop adrift
on the frozen ground? You oat and drink and count
your chink as you sit In your easy chair; and you've
grown hog-fat, and beneath your hat there's hardly
a sign of care. , Do you never pause, as you ply your
jaws, devouring the oyster stew, to heave a sigh for
the waifs who lie outdoors, all the long night through?
It was gcod of. Fate that che paid the freight, and
planted you here at ease, while the other lads, who aro
shy of scr.ds, must sit in tho park and freeze. But
she may repent ere your days are spent, and juggle
things all around, and tho bo may sleep on your mat
tress deep, and you on tho frozen ground!
WALT MASON.
The Salt Lake Commercial Club Is taking the lead
In an attempt to have the California expositions con
tinued another year. But the San Francisco Chronicle
does not take kindly to the suggestion and declares
another year of the expositions would leave them
liadly run down and In frayed out condition. It thinks
the original time set for the big show to continue will
be ample. .
The British people are continually being warned
of the desperate conditions that confront the empire,
with the threat of conscription as tbe final means of
getting men on the fighting front. And at this time
the outlook for the British empire Is not the least en
couraging. It Is certain to undergo dismemberment
unless the British fighting spirit is more thoroughly
aroused.
Great Britain wants to buy one million head of
cattle to be delivered as early as poralble. To fill this
order will mean something near $100,000,000 In tho
pockets of American cattlemen, who are already
enjoying prosperity. This would mean higher prices
for the consumer. But the producer has the right to
sell his product to the very best possible advantage.
Have you your exhibits in readiness? Have you
completed the arrangement to get them In first-class
condition to the fair? The time is at hand. Do your
part in boosting your own farm and county. Hun
dreds of outside visitors will attend this event. It Is
the best advertisement for you.
Columbia county doesn't boom she grows and
Its growth is backed by Intelligent and conservative
business men. Anyone can realize that this country
has "arrived." Just take a look at the wonderful
crops and the sleek cattle throughout the county.
It Is noted that Southern California's first woolen
mill has commenced operations. Perhaps California
will show the rest of the world that she can produce
other things than fruits and native song.
