CONGRESS SMS (IN LONu
OH WITH PROGRAM FULL
OF MOST WEIGHTY PROBLEMS
By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—
The sixty-fifth congrgess reconvened
today for its second and "long" ses-
sion, with the leaders prepared to
stay here until next autumn.
As in the special war session
which ended October G, prosecution
of the war is the principal task fac-
ing the legislature Today's opening
meeting was as usual brief and pre-
functory, accompanied by the ordi-
nary scenes of a nsw cession—hand-
shaking and other felicitations with
well filled galleries and much bus-
tle and confusion. After appoint-
ment of committees by both bodies
to notify President Wilson and each
other of their presence for duty and
fixing their daily meeting hour at 12
o'clock the Senate ana House ad-
journed until tomorrow out of re-
spect to members who died during
the recess—Rep. Resliling of Wis
consin and Representative Martin
of Illinois.
The kevnote of 'the legislative
program will bo sounded Tuesday
by President Wilson when he ad-
dresses a joint session of congress
in the house at 12:30 o'clock, noon
It will be the president's first ap-
pearance before congress since the
night session of April 2 when he
appeared before the special session
to ask for a declaration of war
against Germany.
Organization of both Senate and
House under Democratic control
having been effected at the special
session, botii bodies were ready to
plunge into the mass of waiting
business. Legislation, However, 1a
not expected to get into full swing
until next month, after the Christ-
inas- recess, although there is some
agitation to forego the holiday.
Tomorrow will come the initial
flood of bills, resolutions and peti-
tions. Among the latter arc many
petitins accumulated during the re
cess, demanding the expulsion o:
ScHator LaFollete of Wisconsin for
alleged disloyalty. His speech last
September at St. Paul, Minn., was
considered today by the senate priv-
ileges and elections committee in
connection with a «ub-committee's
investigation.
General, miscellaneous legislation
is to come immediately before con-
gress, possibly including some meas-
ures affecting this country's course
in the war in view of widespread
sentiment among returning members
for declarations of war against Ger-
many's allies, Austria-Hungary,
Turkey and Bulgaria. Congress is
expected, however to follow the
views o£ the president in this re-
spect.
Appropriation measures will re-
quire much time. Fourteen general
and probably several special supply
bills for the fiscal vcar beginning
July 1, 1918, as well as estimates or
additional money for present war
needs, are to be considered, probably
immediately after New Year's. Two
bills, the legislative, executive and
judicial and District of Columbia
measures, already are under prepa-
ration.
With $21,390,000,000 already ap-
propriated for the present fiscal
year's needs, many members believe
that, with forthcoming appropria-
tions. the fifty billion dollar mark
may be reached for two years of
war. .
New war revenue legislation is
not scheduled for active considera-
tion for a month or more. A deficit
of $3,006,000,000 in this year's ex-
penditures remains to be provided
for.
Political affairs will come in for
much consideration during the ses-
sion, with considerable speechmak-
ing. in vtew of general congression-
al elections next fall at which thirty-
two senators, nineteen Democrats
and thirteen Republicans, and the
entire house membership are to be
chosen. Manv members believe po-
litical campaign necessities may
shorten the session.
The Democrats Start tin? session
in control of both senate and house
with 52 Democratic senators against
43 Republicans, with one seat -Sen-
ator Dusting's — vacant. In the
house the Deuuu rats have 210 mem-
bers, the Republican 213, with live-
independents and one seat vacant.
Several new members joined the
House today, Representative Lufkin,
republican, of the sixth Massachusetts
district succeeding Augustus P. Gard-
uer, republican, who resigned; Repre-
sentative Deshlin. democrat, of the
twenty-eighth Pennsylvania district,
succeeding former ^Representative
Dloakley, republican, who resigned,
and Representative Merritt, republi-
can. of the fourth Connecticut, suc-
ceeding Representative EbeneXer Hill,
republican, deceased.
Important war legislation expect-
ed to come before the present session
includes measures to give the presi
dent further authority, especially
over enemy aliens. Senator Chamber-
lain's bill for universal military train-
ing, and measures to meet labor con-
ditions.
Chief among domestic concerns are
prohibition and woman suffrage. Sen-
ator Sheppard's proposed constitution'
ul amendment, whose submission was
approved August 1 by the senate 66
to 20, will he pressed in the house,
while both bodies will be urged to ap-
prove submission of the so-called

fOVENT ON l^e command of Prince Leo-
pold of Bavaria with the ob-
ject of arranging a general
armistice.
Mrs. Susan C. Fordyce no doubt
iound Sunday indeed a welcome dav
of rest after three strenuous days of
presiding as president of the Okla-
homa State Teachers' Association
which was in session at Oklahoma
City the last of the week.
The president came home Satur-
day night with colors flying. The
big fight on splitting up the conven-
tion which was expected to be
waged came off us per schedule, but
so quickly and completely was the
enemy routed, that the fight could
hardly be classed as more than a
skirmish, and the leaders or the op-
position aro still dazed and wonder-
ing how it all happened.
The fact of the riiatter is that in-
stead of its being a fight to the fin-
ish by small factions with personal (
Interests at stake, the president who
very quickly showed her ability to
handle the affairs of the convention
as well as any man and much bet-
ter than the average, put the ques-
tion squarely up to the teachers
themselves as the really interested
parties and they voted by an over-
whelming majority to continue as a
state organization instead of divid-
ing the state into districts.
The 1917 convention itself was
t lie most potent argument against the
latter plan, not only Oklahoma's best
talent but speakers from Washing-
ton, I), c., Iowa, Missouri, Ohio and
other states of the union contributed
their inspiring messages to the
thousands of assembled teachers, the
program this year being one of the
besf that has ever been given at a
similar gathering. It is apparent on
the face of things that it would be
tfii utter impossibility to have such
talent or as much of it at district
gatherings.
On Friday morning Mrs. Fordyce
made an address to the convention
in which she made a plea tor med-
ical inspection in the schools. This
is the president's pet hobby and so-
powerful was her plea at this time
that Dr. Jessup, president of the
I'niversity of Iowa, in a speech fol-
lowing the president's, said that it
was one of the most remarkable pa-
pers he had ever heard, and Miss
(.race Strachan-Forsythe, an edueu-
lor from New York, said it ranked
with the classics and insisted 011
