THE GIST CONGRESS.
FROM NOW until the summer of
the new year breaks upon us,
the country will ring with the
din of Congress, and In the uproar
and medley the people are likely to
hear some resounding and interest
ing things that will cause them to
stop and think of the strange wis
dom that marks the work of the ses
sion; of the potency for amendment
and adjustment of notorious follies
and evils long borne and crying for
reform, says the Astorlan. For this
Is the session that shall demonstrate
the general policies and fixed cour
ses of the Taft administration and
the test and substance thereof; there
will be a frank show-down on the
" part of all concerned, the President,
the Republican party, and the op
position. By the time adjournment
is had, Ihe people will know far
more about Mr. Taft than they know
at present; It is his opportunity for
declaring himself; for making good
as the head of a tremendous poli
tical organization, the representative
of its greatest traditions, and as the
executive head of a greater nation
which is looking to him' to perpetu
ate the best, and add to that befet of
his own wisdom, faith ajld conscien
tious effort.
It is the long term, and Is charged
at Its vory beginning with a world
of grave ,and Important questions of
homo and foreign significance,
among which are the notable Issues
of tho treatment to be meted out to
Nicaragua; the ponding problems of
Chinese and Japanese origin; the
smoothing down of tho tnrlft rup
tures as they rise at homo and
abroad; tho customs scandals In
connection with the sugar imports;
matters of treaty readjustments
with various European nations; Can
adian boundary matters; expansion
of American commerce In many di
rections; tho Panama tanal and Its
expedition; the White Slavo traffic
and Us obliteration; the ro-orgnnlza-tlon
of tho Army and Navy; parly
pledges and their fulfilment; Postal
Suvings bank; tho balancing of tho
postal charge and rates; ship sub
sidy matters; conservation of tho
natural resources; and many other
relatively new matters; all unite dis
tinct from tho ordinary routine- busi
ness of tho Congress, which is in lt
solf, almost enough to absorb tho
time and Interest of tho great delib
orato body.
Tho essontlal quality of the Insur
gent movomont Is also to bo tried
out to the limit of its lnfluenco and
effectiveness If tho promise of' Its
londors may borelled upon; and tho
evorprosont scheme of labor adjust
ments must bo mot and disposed of,
and in torms and scope nover. yot ap
proached by Congress, slnpo tho de
mand nro likely to bo of the largest
and .gravest, In consonance with tho
progress made by labor the world
over In all ways.
Altogether tho promises of tho
hour Is for n real business sosslon,
alive with Interesting and ougnglug
movements and departures, -and a
history-making record.

GOOD EVENING.
There Is. no greater test of
spiritual strength than waiting.
It Is the strong man alono who
can wait. A weak man cannot
wait he must see the result of
his efforts at once. If the good
bo delayed he loses heart and
gives up before the time.
Julian K. Smyth.
Song Of An Old Bachelor.
Oh, tender lovely woman Is,
A thing of down and satin;
Some spot of deathless roses sho
Should make her habitat In.
How carefully she Wraps her up
When winter swirls and rankles;
A sealskin sacque upon her back
And gauze upon her ankles.
Oh, gracious lovely woman Is,
In Gllcad the balm, she;
The ministering angel here;
Man's stay in storm and calm, she.
She smooths our brow, she buoys us
up
Through fate's outrageous twist
ers And with fair lips she soundly rips
Her luckless errant sisters!
Oh, fragile lovely woman is;
Behold the "weaker vessel."
Unfitted by her feeble frame,
With stress and ruth to wrestle.
Not hers to. walk, not hers to work,
With ease her path we hem, sir
jSo that she may but shop all day
And "bridge" till 4 a. m., sir!
Oh, darling lovoly woman is,
The vine about the,oak, she;
Our ever-present joy and light,
Our ever-present joke, she.
Without her life would be but gray
And we but dull, sad foxes;
Tis sho supplies us paradise
And sundry paradoxes!
About the only thing in pome Coos
Bay. pantries is a family jar.
There are liars on Coos Bay who
are ashamed of the naked truth.
When you can't tell the
don't tell anything.
truth,
If you are beaten It will be by
your own self. Nobody else can
beat you.
No man can be good from force of
habit. He's simply got to keep on
struggling.
