committee system-increased enormously by
multiplication and expansion-is still In
vogue, and by Us divjsion and subdivision
has developed lack Of such leadership as
would concentrate the attention of the
House upon the few vitality important sub
jects Of national legislation which should be
lifted up out Of the mass debated and dis
posed of in advance Of all other business
The English cabinet system, without the
power to vote on any subject, is the remedy
offered. With the Taylor plan in operation
here the President and his cabinet could,
and doubtless would. publicly support such
legislation as the party platform called for.
and then the members of the cabinet, hav-
ing the consent Of Congress to sit in Con-
gress, could directly make plain the wishes
OF the executive without having to resort
to the sometimes III comfortable practice of
interfering private letters into public de-
bate. Mr.. Taylor DIS that his reform
can be brought about through a brief act
OF Congress. supplemented by a correspond
ing change in the rules and without any
organic change in the Constitution and
without more than a Modification of the ex-
listing committee system. The plan may be
worthy OF discussion. None of our cher
ished institutions appear to be assailed by
the proposition, and there is in 1t shadowy
promise Of national gain. But perhaps the
President and his cabinet may not take
klndly to suggestion which would place
them In the House for an hour or two each
day, practically on the same plane as ter
ritorial delegates and targets for partisan
arrows.

About to enjoy the pleasing experience
or having one or two Of Its street railway
lines rebuilt and re-equipped, Washington
looks forward to transportation conditions
vastly superior to anything yet existing
within its borders. That II pays to be
modern and even to be triie In advance
OF the times has been conclusively proven
here and elsewhere. The Engineering Mag
azine tells Of a street railway-not In
Washington, by the way-"whose cars are
always fresh. neat and clean, and which
has even gone to the expense Of putting
clock in each car as well as a mirror at
each end thereof" The result is that this
road has gained a larger patronage In pro-
portion to the number of inhabitants In
the district served by it than any other
road in the country; the stockholders are
pleased with the road; the patrons are
pleased with it; and the general manager
does not have a fight on his hands every
day OF the week. So far, Washingtonians
have not called for clocks in their cars
nor has there been any loud demand for
plate-glass mirrors, but there is a longing
for clean and well-ventilated cars propelled
by the best available motor. By and by
the long suffering public will have it's pres
ent wishes gratifed.

Mr.. Hannis Taylor who is United States
Minister to Spain, has been studying the
House of Representatives and the House of
Commons, and has come to the conclusion
that our legislative system is not as closely
In touch with public opinion as il should be !;
that II responds slowly and unsatisfactory
to popular demands that should be an
swered with all prOmptness. Admitting the
capacity of members Of the House and evil
IDENTIFY taking pleasure in the high average
of personal intelligence which undoubtedly
exists, Mr.. Taylor insists that the House is
very much less effective than 1t could be
were the reforms he suggests IN full work
ing operation. Broadly, Mr.. Taylor favors
that portion Of the Ell glish system which
makes the administration directly respOn ST.
be TO the people for the fuIflment or non
fulhlnent of platform or campaign pledges
and which gives TO cabinet ministers priv
nsges and responsibilities not heretofore
known within the United States; but before
proceeding to directly advance his refCrma-
tory idea, Mr.. Taylor touches upon the
shortcomings which, ne believes, make the
change he advocates necessity. He says:
"When we remember that the House Of
Reoresentat is really the workshop Of
the Constitution, IL is surprising to see how
well il handles the vast amount of business
which Of late years has been cast upon 1t
by means Of the old and now inadequate

Tending American industries will congrat-

form democrats will score point gained
in merely postponing the fulfilment CT party

ton between publishers to produce

has become almost problem for
newspaper publishers to make selec-
tons among the many attractions
offered. to secure what they are as
sured will be most attractive to their
readers. 1t is not too much to say
that nearly everything that is
offered Is good. Nothing bad can be
popular in our day. Readers have
been educated. They can distin-
guish between the trashy and the
really valuable. so it comes that
the publisher of the newspaper is
often perpleXed. But. just at the
present time, newspaper publishers
are hardly hesitating. There has
been produced Il work so obviously
attractive and so obviously of the
greatest value, that nothing else
offered by the publishing world can
well compare with it. Reference is
had to the work just issuing, en-
titled Americas Great Men and
Women"
W hat the work referred to is, is
told in detail in the advertising col
umns OF the ARGUS. The publisher
OF TINS newspaper has only to say
that the work exceeds anything yet
offered to the community, in con-
nection with the promotion of news
paper circulation. 1t is something
interesting to young and old; some
thing new, giving new facts; some
tning relating to the present affairs
OF prominent people of the country;
something never before obtainable in
a single work or in such charming
form. 1t is a marvellous production.
