The siitiing that a ninn serves his party best who .serves h country best is n plati tude worn so tliteadbnre that few respect able pnliticinns will look nt it. Yet it is true What the great tnav of the people are hoping is that Congress will deote itself with all It.s energies to the work of iciiil Justment, so that business may go on with out being burdened by tho heavy tines levied while we were at war.

Whil paitisan politics 1ms no place in framing dnmo-itie taxation laws. It is equally out of place in considering the foreign policy.

The absence nf great leaders in the last emigres impressed itself upon eery one whn fnilnwed its deliberations. The old lenders weie there, it is true, but they muiii'lioiv sionied p ham lost touch with the country. Tlnn were living in the utmos pliero of twenty jears ngo. They were unable to realie that many thing have happened since they had pnsseil their prime and they found it impossible to readjust their thinking tn the new isuiditions brought about In fmir years of a world war. The prm oi dings of the lirst few weeks of the prisent (V tigress will be watched with care for i iidi in e nf the development of new lenders ntiioug the younger generation of llopublicati.
