The Indianapolis Journal is having
a spasm of patriotism 1t thinks that
there should be change in the time
for the meeting of a new Congress,
and that it should more nearly ap-
proach the time of its election. In this
it is right. But this is not all. OF the
present Congress it says: 'Why should
these men legislate longer for a peo-
pie who have rejected them? This is
not said because it is Democratic
Congress, but because the fact of a
repudiated legislative body legislating
for a people who have a representative
government is at war with the genius
of popular rule. Even if such a sys-
tenn were not at war with the theory
of popular government, the legislating
by discredited lawmakers is subject to
serious objections. Why did not the
Republican party change this when it
was in power? That party did not
seem to think itself discredited two
years ago, but went right on legisiat-
ing just as though it had been
Endorsed instead of being repudiated
But something should be done to
remedy what is in reality an anomaly
in our government

There are some Republican editors
who cannot distinguish the difference
between proper rules to close debate
when it has reached a reasonable limit
and the despotic action Of a presiding
officer to effect the same result. Thus
the proposition for a cloture rule to
be adopted by the Senate appears to
a contemporary the same thing as the
1nasterful, stately way in which it
says Gar Reed shut off discussion
There is no need to explain the essen
tial difference between the legitimate
and the illegitimate cloture, to ordi-
nary people in their right minds, and
the Republican sheet that tries to con-
fuse the two methods and make them
appear as one. may puzzle it out for

Speculation in Land IL 1T the Bottom
of It.

in Land Is At the Bottom
The fundamental cause of the present
hard times. says Louis F. Post, 10 the fact
that speculation in land has run so high
that business cannot prosper and bear
the burdens of land values. The whole
civilized world practically has been q
"boom town" on q large scale. The
boom has reached the bursting point.
The strain of land values on business is
too great to be borne. Hence the hard
times. Now there is one of two things,
or perhaps something Of both, that must
occur before the hard times end. Either
the boom must burst, so that business
can resume upon . lower level as TO
charges for land or else some tremen-
dous impetus must be given to business
which will enable it to 60 on and prosper
upon the present high plane of land val
ues. The Wileon bill might give the i'm
petus. II there is free trade enough II
will. Free trade would make business
spring into activity for time, perhaps q
long time. But if that bill does moi
give us enough free trade it will
give to business the necessary i'm.
petus, and, in that case, we shall
have to wait for the end of hard times
until we see in our daily real estate re-
ports very marked decline in the value
of land.

This Time the Assault Was Made Upon
the Catholics.
About 80 Polish members OF the Amer
lean Protective Association broke down
the doors Of the Catholic school, on Six
teenth avenue, in Milwaukee. Wis, Sun
day, with axes and hatchets. The st.
Vincent branch of the Catholic Column
bian League, organized to counteract the
A. P. A. action in that city, was holding
q meeting in the hall and locked the
doors. This aroused the anger OF the
Polish members of the A. P. A., who
were determined to break up the meeting.
Aiming themselves with batchets and
knives they proceeded to the school hall
and after having broken down the doors
made vicious assault on their fellow
countrymen assembled In the hall. The
latter were prepared for the attack and a
general fight began which lasted for al
most ten minutes before the police ap-
peared on the scene. Agreat number on
both sides were cut and stabbed. AZ far
as could be ascertained, one man, Frank
Phillips, is fatally injured and seven
others are cut and stabbed. Phillips
was chopped in the shoulder and back
with Ratchet. He is in q critical con-
ditiop. Seven men, all Of them suffering
from stabs, were arrested and lodged in
South Side police-station, where they are
being cared for. They are all A. P. A.

Warren Cantril had an exciting venture

some carpenter work in his yard he heard
the baying of hound, and looking up
saw a large deer of the male persuasion
approaching him at rapid pace with one
OF Mr.. Able's faithful hounds about two
feet in the rear. Warren dropped down
and remained there until the deer was
within few feet of him, when he arose
trembling with fear and threw hammer
at him to keep him away. The deer then
ran toward the barn as Il seeking some
place OF refuge from his long-winded
pursuer. Finding the barn door closed
he ran around the barn one way and
Warren the other. just what happened
while they were in the rear Of the barn
would be hard to relate. When next

his toes toward the house and blood in

law Office at Bohemian, Mont, Friday
night and told Attorney Stevenson that
he wanted to make an affidavit that he
had murdered an old farmer named
Williamson, and his wife, living near
Brampton, Ontario, a few months ago.
He said that he had just read that an in.
nocent man, named McWharrell, had
been convicted of the crime and was I'M

affidavit was made and sworn to, and
then Dutton backed to the door and
made his escape. Stevenson who was
alone in the Office, at once notified the
sheriff and the police, but as yet they
have been unable to catch button. In
bis affidavit, Dutton declared that he
alone did the murder, and that the con

Degrading Citizenship.

From the Philadelphia RecOri,
Eight hundred and sixty aliens were
endowed with American citizenship by q
Chicago Judge within four hours, or an
average of one citizen in about seventeen
seconds. The Judge may feel proud Of
this feat OF prestidigitateurism, for it beats
all records Of it's kind. But such methods
are scarcely BETTING the solemnity Of the
occasion, nor the dignity Of the privilege
conferred. What sort of judicial inquiry
can it be by which the fitness for an alien
to become q citizen is determined in the
ridiculously inadequate period of seven
teen seconds? The naturalization laws
evidently need to be greatly improved.
