"It has been frequently said that a democracy cannot prepare for and wage a war of magnitude and long duration as successfully as can an autocracy," says Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon in an interview with the New Yorlf Times, reviewing the achieve ments of the extra session of congress. "That a democracy can prepare for war when the emergency arises and can do it quickly and effectively has been proved in AVnerlca since, the dec laration of war with Germany In April last. and. unless all signs fail. It will be demonstrated shortly that democra cy can wage war successfully. , "It is true that a fcart of the pro gram of preparation has been to con fer almost autocratic -.powers upon President Wilson, as the commander In chief of the army and navy a power contemplated by the framers of the constitution for, in a time -of. stress and storm, there can be no division of responsibility; and, in the' last analy sis, upon the president must devolve the successful prosecution of a war. Becord of Achievement Remarkable , "Congress has been criticised for dil atory tactics and methods. Impatience has been expressed ; in ; many quarters that. quicker action ihas not been had on measures of great importance xome country at this tittis". But i the record oi? legislative accomplishments is the knpst remarkable 'ever made by any Congress, and,"- wight, safely be, said, by hy legislative body in the world. It la true thatCWh senate, the dis. cusslons on a few important bills seemed to be prolonged, to an unneces sary extent, but It can safely be said that-no real obstructive or filibuster ing methods were, resorted to In any case. . "The discussions which were had were perfectly legitimate, ana, in nearly every case, not only elucidated the subject, but improved legislation. Even those members of congress who might be placed within the so-called pacifist group, contended themselves, as a rule, with voting against the measures which were looked upon as necessary to our country's welfare at this particular juncture. We have the wqrd. of Lord Balfour, and of Lord Northcllffe as well, that what has been done by congress has been done with as much haste as was consistent with sound legislation; and It must not be forgotten that the legislation which has been passed has been almost! ev olutionary and. in some instances, as has been so frequently stated, viola tlve of traditions and ancient land marks. In addition to that, untold mil lions have been appropriated, and, in nearly every instance, without any questions being asked as to the meth . ods -of expenditure.

Partisan BUs X.ald Aside 'he, beautiful. thlng; about It all is that thre has been no partisan spirit shown in the discussion of any of these great war measures. Democrats and Republicans have worked ami voted together, and, in the last analy sis, all have vied with each other to da what was best, leaving out of con sideration political or personal ques tions. "You ask if the country approyes of this legislation. The unanimity with which senators and- representatives have stood for it all "indicates that it is sustained by the people. Having been forced intoa war with the most efficient military despotism the world ever knew, motives of patriotism, our country's safety, the liberty of the cit izen, and the perpetuation of our insti. tutlons, all demanded prompt, radical. -j ana eiiective legislation. Opposition to legislation that has been passed Is sporadic. It will be found in groups of extreme pacifists, pro-5erman sym pathizers, and among men who care not what the fate of bur country may 'ARENAS! r There h No Longer fin Excuse to Deprive Your Family . ot Music! & Here is a phonogrtph made to sell. for i2S.oo. ,.
