THE WORK CF CONGRESS. Eicept for the extravagant appro priations, the session wnlcn adjourn ed Saturday will be Judged for what It did not do rather than for what it did do.

Some of its failures to act are distinctly to its credit Especially is It to be commended for refusing to pass the presidents amendments to the Sherman anti trust law. A great effort was made both by the presi dent and the national civic federation to get these through, but congress wisely refused to be Influenced. So, to, the country is to be congratulated C'C the defeat of the ship subsidy bill the bouse. This was another meas ure in which the president showed great interest The house, however, correctly Interpreted public opinion. We are told that tne scneme win tome up again next winter, and we do not doubt It For it seems to have a certain sort of immortality.

Congress did well agalu when it de feated the presidential bill providing foi four great battleships. That meas ure, too, was wholly lnderensiDie. it tad hardly been defeated before we learned that many arbitration treaties had been ratified, one of them with japan, the power of all others against which it was supposed to be necessary for us to arm. In other words, the country has prepared for war by removing the chances for quarrel rather than by; arming itself to the teeth. Here aga.n cojgreog did the right ana the wise thing.

We doubt also wheth er It would have been, wise, with a presidential ctmpalgtr oni to give the Interstate Ccmnerce Commission, or any other political agency, the power to pass on the question of railroad se curities or to make a physical vaiua tion of the railroads. We nmy have'to come to that, and possibly a scheme can be devised for conferring such extraordinary power under proper and sate limitations. But in view or the fact that there is always a temptation SWIM Copyright 1908 by Hart Schaffner Marx lo exercise power of this kind in such a way as to further the political Interests of the party In office, we think that the matter Is one In regard to which much conservatism ought to be shown. Congress was not ready to act. It did well, for the present, to hold its hand.

The proposition to limit the power of federal courts In the Issuing at in unctions, which was so dear to the president's heart Is also doubtful. There has and "cry over this "not yet been shown that the federal judges have greatly abused their power. A recent Investigation has shown that they have been reasonably conservative. Certain changes In the law may be found advisable, though it is doubt ed by many authorities whether congress has any power to say how the courts may confer or withdraw Juris diction, but whether it can Bay how it shall be exercised, and It ought to be PP mmm ft IPr decided on Its merits, and as far as possible without any thought of the possibility of getting votes by any legislation in the premises The bill making provision for the support of the Inland Waterways Com mission, another presidential measure, tailed. Probably it would have neen well to pass this measure.

But as the ('resident has served notive on the country that he will continue the commission any how, nothing will be lost We have no doubt that his threat played its part in defeating the bill. Congress Is greatly to be blamed for failing to pass the bill providing for publicity In the matter of campaign contributions. There should have been no Question about this. The only explanation possible is thai the repub lican leaders wanted another cnance to "fry the fat." The record of congress on this subject is most discred itable. So, too, It is to be censurea for falling to give the country any tar iff legislation.

Especially should it have repealed the duties on wood pulp and prlut paper. But with a campaign ImDending possible this was too mucn to expect. The failure to attack the paper trust through the tariff, and the failure to pass the publicity bill must be taken together as a proot tnat tne friendshlD and support of the trust and corporations are desired in the caniDaen The failure to pass tne bill creating a bureau of mines is an other defeat tor the president We think that whatever can be done by the generarovernment to make min lug more Bare ougni 10 ue uuuc The president, however, won some victories. He gets the currency, bill, which Is a rather poor affair. Con gress, too, followed bis advice when it enacted a new employers' liability law.

Finally, congress sustained the presidednt in authorizing the finance committee of the senate and the ways fjiI means committee of the house to Investigate the tariff, with a view to reforming it. That congress was most extrava gant every one knows. The appropri atlons for next year amount to more than a billion dollars, and this tn face of an assured deficit this year of at least $60,000,000 and one for next year of probably $150,000,000. Possibly it is fair to say that the session was no worse than the average session that meet in a presidential year. There party can take pride.

As we have said. Its soundest action was wholly of a negative character. We doubt whether it has anything affirmative to its credit of any considerable value. Indianapolis News. WARREN.
