A new con- gre.ss, divided against it.self and encircled by uncertainties, will begin its se.ssions Monday under a tension keyed to the restlessne.ss of the.se troubled times. A program of prosperity, with tax revision and bank reforms at its head, will be the goal of legislative effort. Politics and prohibition will provide the effervescence for unceasing oratory breadth party majorities will make every forward step a tedious process of deadlock and compromise. Unless somersaulting fortunes Intervene, the democrats will organize the house and the republicans the senate, but by margins so delicate as to preclude real control in either chamber. The choice of John Gamer of Texas as the first democratic speaker since Champ Clark still was dependent Saturday night on the almost unanimous turnout of his party strength.

In the senate, re-election of George H. Moses of New Hampshire as president pro tempore binged on an effort to placate the rebellious western insurgents whom he once called of the wild Into power with Garner wnll go a full slate of democratic officials, agreed upon unanimously at a cheering party caucus, Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, survivor of a field of a half dozen original aspirants, will become the floor leader. Senate Can Take Time. The senate, being a continuing body, can take its time about organizing.

The dispute over re-election probably will be put off until Tuesday, and perhaps later. The senate membership stands at forty-eight republicans, forty-seven democrats and one farmer-labor. At least two democrats be absent. Stephens of Mississippi is ill and Long of Louisiana is staying or for a while as governor. The democrats do not w'ant the senate unless they have an actual majority.

They are expected to make no deals with the insurgents who threaten to vote for some republican other than Moses, and not for a democrat, for president pro tempore. It is a first- class three way tangle, but moat of the old timers are predicting that in the end Moses will be reelected. and republicans will remain in control of the senate committees. Except for the house organization. and the receipt of a deluge of bills, Monday w'ill see little accomplished.

President annual message will go to the capitol Tuesday by messenger, and be read from the rostrum of senate and house. On Wednesday will follow a special budget message. KERMIT STEWART.

WASHINGTON. The leader of the fight against the world court, Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee, Saturday offered a settlement of the isstie at this ses.slon. He proposed that the senate debate and dispose of the controversial que.s- tion of American adherence after domestic matters are out of the Willingness for a vote this session was expressed in a statement denying printed declarations that he would seek to defer the whole issue. Meanwhile, there is a growing conviction among the court opponents that their strength in the senate is gaining. They make no predictions yet.

Advocates of adherence are still confident, but the leaders are beginning to count noses. A two-thirds vote is necessary for ratification. The senate, five years ago, voted overw'helmingly to enter the court with reservations. Those reservations were not all accepted by the other nations and entry on a new basis is provided. This was worked out by Elihu Root and representatives of European nations.

It provides the United States may withdraw from the court, if the tribunal without its consent should take up some question affecting American interests. One of the original senate reservations, to which other nations would not agree, provided the court, without American approval, could not consider a question In which the United States had or claimed an interest. The senate foreign relations committee will take up the protocol of adherence at an early meeting and a quick report to the senate is in prospect. There is every indication it will be favorable action by the committee, however, before Christmas is unlikely. have assumed all said Senator Borah in his statement, that as soon as pressing dome.stic matters were out of the way, the question of the world court would be taken up and disposed of.

The lowly cotton tail bunny and jack rabbit will be given a place of prominence on the dinner table of numerous Lincoln families this winter, for several organizations have banded to furnish rabbit meat, thru the community chest, to folks whose meat diet might otherwise be restricted. The State Journal and Lincoln Star, co-operating with the Izaak league, Y. M. C.

community chest, a.s well as several cold storage houses, have decided to call on the sportsmen and on farmers for help in the enterprise. Rabbits turned in by hunters will be placed in cold storage and distributed on certain dates to needy families. It is necessary that hundreds of Lincoln hunters take part in the enterprise so that there will always be a good supply of the meat on hand. The method of hunting rabbits will not be followed, since that often leads to a cleaning out of the rabbit stock. Instead, cards will be Issued for small parties of individuals giving them permission to hunt on land where the cards are accepted.

Farmers Register. In the first place, it is asked radius of Lincoln call or to the Y. M. C. A.

here, indicating they will give permission to hunt to accredited parties. Their location and best route by auto will be registered on cards, and the.se cards will oe issued to applying hunters who record their names and addresses. These cards must be shown to the farmer before hunting begins. In this manner one location will be alloted to only one group of hunters each day, getting away from the danger of exterminating rabbits entirely. The permit cards should be returned to the Y.

M. A. after each hunt and they will be reissued to other applicants on following days. It is hoped enough farmers will registered by the end of the week so that the Y. C.

A. may begin to issue cards fcr hunting cn Saturday. Dec. 12. The plan will be in force at the option of hunters to aud including Sunday, Dec.

20. Most of the rabbits will be distributed on Dec. 22 and 23, for Christmas dinners, unless hunters and farmers together respond in such numbers that weekly distribution can be made thruout the w'inter.
