gross started in c toe third and last
Session of the Sixty-third Congress.
Tlie opening day was characterized
t>y the usual enthusiasm, greeting of
^ friends on the floors of the Mouse and
Senate, congratulations for those who
v'ere re-el oo'?d and a good word <*01
those who foil b\ the wayside. Musi\
ness was resumed where it was dropped
on the adjournment in October.
In the opinion of th.e leaders of both
parties this session will bo devoted
largely to the passage of the appro nrintion

'?mb H^'""'s worHny full time in order
to dispose of them by the time
Congress automatically ends March
4th. Democratic leaders are not inclined
to give any sanction to talk of
an extra session, saying that all matters
deman ling attention will bp considered
within the next three months,
hut Republican leaders and some of
the Democrats have matters they intend
to press and i? may be, owing to
the short time at their disposal, that
an extra session will be necessary.
The Philipine bill, looking to the ultimate
independence of the islands, and
the immigration bill, including the
literacy test, both of which have bee"
passed by the H uiso. will be pressed
by their friends but they may not ho
reached. Conservation/ measures, in-1
eluding the go^oyal wter novoy pp,l
land leasing hills will probablv receive
some attention. Representative
Leycr is again calling attention to his
cotton warehouse bill, saving that the
President is in favor cf ?t and is very
hopeful that it will pass.
Representative Gardner of Massachusetts
submitted a resolution calling
for an investigation of our pre- j
paredness for war. This resolution.'
supported bv others in i>oth Houses,!
is causing lively discussion. Administration
leaders are opposing it on
the ground that it is wholly unnecessary
as all data and facts are now fully
known to the Committee on military
affairs and an investigation at
this time could reveal no new facts,
President Wilson in his interview
with Representative Gardner expressed
the opinion that it would he very
unwise to handle at this time "a question
which might create very unfavor
able international impressions."
It is the evident intention of the
Government to cut expenses and economize,
as is shown by the estimate
Secretary McAdoo submitted to Congress
for the running expenses for the
year 191G. This estimate cuts off
about $17,000,000 from the one of a
year ago and the various departmental
heads will have to keep their ex- ]
penditures at the lowest possible minimum.
The River and Harbor bill
which was curtailed at the last session
will be brought up and some of
its friends are hopeful of securing
larger appropriations, but it is likely
they will be disappointed as the estimate
only makes provisions for the
continuance of exinsting projects. The
onlv denartment? ropoivimr
. ? "''"I
propriations are the Army and Navy, i
The champions of increased Naval appropriations
are urging a three or
four battleship program, more sub- j
marines and torpedo boats. The weak-,
ness of our aviation corps is causing
many to demand that a substantial
increase be made, asking that aeroplanes,
hydroplanes and dirigibles be I
purchased. It is more than probable 1
this will be another billion dollar Congress
in spite of all efforts to econo-'
mnize. The necessity for increased approipriations
was seldom greater than
"now despite the fact that the Administration
is anxious to lessen the ex-|
penditures the necessities must be
cared for. j
The President's message was delivered
in person to a joint session of the
House and Senates in the Hall of the
House of Representatives on Tuesday.
The President therein outlined to Congress
the legislation he considered
essential at this time and pointed out
the need for careful action.
Early indications are that the stand
patters are planning tQw age a relentless
war fare against the President
Snd the Democratic Party. Senator
Simmons charges that some of thi :
manufactures of the country are not'
taking proper advantage of the foreign
trade opportunities at this time
but are holding back in the hope that
the return of some of the standpatters
like Cannon and MgKinley to pow
?r, foreshadow another wall for their
.protection. I

D. C: Hevward. cf tlm department
of internal revenue at Columbia.
The demand, during the five davs
that had passed when business was
closed at that office late SatuHay for
the emergency tax Stamps had caused
accumulation of many orders. The
officials and attaches of the office were
unable to make the sales of stamps
Lo persons appearing in person to fill
the "rush" mail orders for the stickers
of numerous denominations, and
to give attention to the hundreds of
inquiries relative to construction of
the law that were received.
Collector Hey ward made it lain ta
newspaper men that his office was
making every possible effort to meet
j the demands of the occasion. He
j stated that during the first two days
1 of full effectiveness of the lay his
t office attaches had worked about 18
hours per day, and had each day work
od long past the usual ' suspending
hour. The collect :r related his office
had received on one day in excels of
1,000 letters containing inquiries of an
imperative nature relative to provisions
of the statute. Answering these
letters would have alone required extra
work of his office force, regardless
of the demand for stamps, which
in itsself, required the full service
of his assistants to meet.
Two additional men were allowed

writes: "For the past twelve months
I have been a sufferer from catarrh
of the head. Since taking four bottles
of your Peruna I feel like a
different person altogether. The severe
pains in my head have disappeared,
and my entire system has
been greatly strengthened.
"This is my first testimonial to the
curative qualities of any patent
medicine. I feel it a duty to mankind
to let them know of Peruna.
In my estimation it is the greatest
medicine on earth for catarrh."
We have thousands of testimonials
like Mr. Chaney's. Some of them
were cured after years of suffering
