Washington, Jan. 11.—The
opening of the new Congress
was more like a reunion of old
friends than anything else. The
great majority in both houses
are old members who were re-
elected. But it is a new Con-
gress—the 75th since the Con-
stitution was adopted—and
nothing which the previous.
Congress Heft unfinished is any
official concern of this one’s.
When a Congress dies, as one
does every two years, all of its
works die with it unless they
have become, laws by the sig-
nature of-the President,
The spirit of Congress does
not necessarily change, how-
ever; never when the new
Congress is, like this one, over-
whelmingly of the same politi-
cal complexion as the last one
and composed chiefly of the
same individuals. So all of the
bills which the 74th Congress
failed to pass have been or
shortly will be presented to the
76th Congress as new business
—and some of them, doubtless,
will stand a better chance of
enactment into law than they
had before.
The returning Senators and
Representatives of the majori-
ty party feel that the course
upon which they had embark-
ed received an overwhelming
indorsement at last Fall’s elec-
tion, and that they are, in ef-
fect, under orders from their
constituencies to proceed along
the same lines.

That is not to say, however,
that all the members of the
majority in ' Congress are of
one mind. Signs are already
appearing of section antagon-
ism, which might easily be-
come so acute as to impede the
course of legislation.
The first open clash be-
tween North and South came
in the fight between Represen-
tative O'Connor of New York
and Representative Bay burn
of Texas for the important post
of Majority Leader. That is an
important position at any time,
and seems more important now
than usual because of the ex-
pectation that Speaker Bank-
head will not hold that position
long, Mr. Bankhead is a sick
man, and if he is forced to lay
down the gavel the majority

Eleven stone and log cabines

son to succeed him.
The line-up of Congressional
factions into North aud Sooth
is not strictly on geographical
lines. It arises, however, from
resentment by northern Dem-
ocrats over the control of the
machinery and patronage of
Congress by the Southern
members.
Most of the important com-
mittee chairmanships are held
by southerners, representing
predominantly rural districts,
and the Northern and Eastern
members of the same party
feel that the interests of the
industrial cities from which
most of them come have not
been given sufficient weight by
their colleagues from Dixie,
