; George Bernard Shaw supposes he was awarded the Nobef
prize for literature because he wrote nothing at all last year.
We'd be in favor of rewarding a number of other writers if
they could be induced to do the same thing.
'. Pendleton people have a site already picked out for the
location of the Eastern Oregon Normal School the remain
ing portion of the tract provided for the state insane hos
pital, they say, and next that institution. They must have
been misinformed as to what the people of Oregon want
it's to be a Normal school not a sub-normal school.
. r" In the Armistice Day game La Grande deserves all the
credit received for playing good football after a three weeks
lav-off and handicanned bvihniiiiios:. Most of that'irood foot
ball, however, was concentrated into three plays, all of whicJJ-;,,--t''"
,1'egulted in' touchdowns. The rest of the time which didn t
prove quite time enough Pendleton had the edge. All' of
which gees to show that you're never licked until the final
gun. .
i : CONGRESS THIS WINTER.
; What will Congress do when it convenes in December?
Old-timers, as they look over the situation, suggest that
Congress will not do much of anything between Dec.- 6 and
March 4 except talk. For various reasons, action -will be
difficult.
The Senate will probably talk at length nlwut the World
Court, but do nothing to change the status of this country's
qualified application for membership, which the other mem
bers are disinclined to accept. There will be a great deal
of excited debate in both houses about what to do about in
come taxes and the treasury surplus, and possibly some sort
of legislation on that point. .
The diversion of water from the Great Lakes by Chicago,-
for drainage and navigation, will come up for discus
sion,, and probably biing on a bitter wrangle between the two
groups of law-makers representing the Great Lakes and
tho Mississippi Valley. That issue, however, may be set
tled by the Supreme Court during the winter, and thus taken'
out of the hands of Congress. There will be a fight to re
duce the army and navy expenditures and personnel' which
may or may not succeed. Farm relief will enlist attention,
as usual, and what will be done about it, if anything, is
anybody's guess. The status of Muscle Shoals will be con
sidered, with a view to final action, and with some insistence
on government operation under the War Department, which
has made a good record with the Shoals plant this year.
For the most part, Congress in this session may be re
garded as less a legislative body than a reflection of the
national state of mind. If no definite action is taken about
important matters, it will be hugely becauMe the public
lacks clear ideas and purposes about national issues.
