Before the present sesslon began
thoro wns evory lndicatlon that tho

There aro many reasons 111
llove that when the prc.
ends on March ?! nothing
bcen dono but to pa?s tl
approprlatlon bills and the lnsignlfl
cant measures of other hlnds that
are allowed to go through tlu legis
latlve mlll Just to flll up the tlme.
On Thin lee.
There nro two reasons why noth?
ing is going to be done at this ses?
slon. Thc Democrats woro novor
before treadlng on thlnner Ico tnan
they are at thls partlculnr tlme. The
iroiiblesome "rules" question is Ihreat
enlng to cause 'serious sjtrlfe Insjdo
tho party llnes beforo March I comes
round. Tho Democrats cannol agree
lmoiig themselves on a polley. t^ome
rvant lhe much-talkod-of conunltteo on
lommlttoes, some want the Speaker to
sontlnue namlng the committee and
omc don't know what they want,
5omc are opposed to having thc "stoor
ng" committee ot the- Houso, whlch
s to bc selected by the eaucus to bo
ield next month, composcd of any
nembers whoso votes were with tbe
toptihllcans when tho tarlff blll was
icfore Congress last sesslon. The
vhole situation, so far ns the liemo
rats are concerned, ls a most dcli
ate one, and lt would not take much
o cause a big explosion Insldo the
atiks.
Another reason why nothing wlll be
one thls sesslon Is that with many
lepubllcans to go out?thoso who at | l|
resent hold the upper hand and those j
?ho have really been "dolng things" ''"
or many years?thero Is a feeling , ''
iiat it ls useless for them to enter
pnn a plan of nccomplislilng any
ilng wlth only two months left to
?rve in Congress. These ltcpubli
ins say?those who will not return
) ih>- sixty-second Congress?that the
mc ig too short for them to accom
llsh anythlng elso whllo here. and
mt so far ns posslble they wlll slm
ly put the finishlng touches on what
ley began before.
"With this situation it is apparent
mt little wlll be accompllshed here
iirlng the next two months.
Whnl the DemoerntH .Vceil.
"What tho Democrats need," said an
d-timer around the Cnpitol a day or
vo ago, "is a liberal injection of com
on sense. The way they are rowlng
nons themselves over the question of
immitteo appolntments is nothlng to
hat wlll happen when the eaucus
oots unless, ln tho moantlme, some
an can be found to htirmonizc all
rces. It seems to me that although
lamp Clark has not yet beon formal
elected Speaker that he should be
?nsultecl and hls advice talcen reKard
g tho future polley of the Demo
ats In the House. I cnn readlly un- I te
rstnnd just why ho would not want |
give his opinions beforo ho is mado
icakor, but If the Democrats would
alize that his advice must he fol
wod and hls counsel actod upon I
ink they would be able to harmonlze
tter."
.Inhn Shnrp Williams Comlng.
While nothlng authentlc can bc
irncil concernlng the matter, it has
en ulnted around the Cnpitol for sev
al days that unless tho Domocrats
it together John Sharp Williams,
rinerly minority loador, may be In
ced to" come to Washington and get
i Democratic friends in llne.
Although there was considerable
irring under tho Williams leader
lp on the Democratic sido of tho
mso, it Is belleved that thc MIs
jslppian?who w'll soon go over to
e Senato to succeed Senator Jloney
jould do much to pour oll on tbo
>ubled Democratic waters. He un
ubtedly has a vory persuasive
sthod, and this no doubt would be
srted on tho Democrats lf he should
ni e.

wlll there be blckerings and dis

?Mr. McKelvey la charged wlth refer
rinR to some of the women members
oi' his church as "old hens" and to
some of the men ns "tlght wada." The
offlcial bonrd of tlie church chargeo
also that Mr. .McKelvey had falled to
make an accountlng of money raiaed
by him for improving thc church bulld?
lng
Mr McKelvey. ou the other hand,
declares that the church owes him 111.1
ln back salary. II... gaya that the only
money contributed by membera of the
church slnce last September wns $lo
from ono parishloner and $.'. from an?
other. I'rlor to that, ho aald, ho spent'
overy dollar donated by membera in
improvements that wero aorely needod.
He says the church was ln a fright
fully n-glo.-tM stnto when he took
hold a yr.,r ago.
Mr. McKelvey ,-idded that hia salary
was i-o small that ho and his wife and
three chlldn-n had been unable to llve

"I; haa reached our eara that the
Rev. Mr. McKelvey haa aald we aro In
