N The first week of the Congression al session has passed -without a rip- pie of excitement of an , incident of note. TNo session of Congress in years has opened with so little stir or" sjiow of political , interest. . Mem bers were slow in .arriving, slipped quietly into their places;, and have not.generally been as talkative as is sometimes the case. But all 'this quiet on the surface of things is only indicative of : the ; seriousness with wmcn potn Congressmen and the public view the business qf the ses sion and' its subsequent results. The situation is such that' we can have i '-.- war, or two or three wars, if we will, and the material condition of the country is still such as to - call for the most careful and thoughtful consideration of the various v prob- lems :of finance and Goyernmental policy. t The prosperity that has been looked for is not yet visible to the naked eye. The-fact that the committees' were already appointed and the organiza tion of the House complete simpli fied the preliminary: work of this session of the 55th Congress very greatly, . and business could begin frjm the start instead of the usual process of "killing time" until after the holiday recess; Some of the committees, notably the Ways and Means and the Appropriations, have already considered much of the. busi ness before them, and ' the latter has several of its bills nearly ready; to re port to the House. This, it-has been said, will conduce to a shortening of the sessionthough the talk on, that point so rife a few weeks ago seems 0- . . . . ... Vrf to have subsided. The fact is, no body can foretell at this time what or what results may come out of it The general belief now is that the - Presi dent's recommendations will be pretty nearly followed out so far . as the House is concerned; that nothing . d CaU &t I . : O . , ;-...' . tr ia ua nexgd .f u rested wi19l that body . , . , . -f - . . , ftnn - ipfyiaution nf anv sorL Speaker Keed came back to , Wash- ington this session in a -: brand . new- suit, of modern cut, - and "sports a necktie as red as a Plymouth" Kock rooter comh He now raps the UnMC;n rt oV, A M made f rom the wood of an app trde grew by the side of a log cabill nearLnwe's Ferrv.
