The Democratic Caucus.
Washington Posi-.

Washington Posi-.
1t seems to lis that the position
taken by Hon. James Hamilton
Lewis IN the Democratic caucus Mon
day night is the correct one. Mr..
Bailey, the party leader in the House,
had called the caucus together for the
purpose OF adopting rules to the end
of more perfect discipline, and with
that in view he submitted the follow
ing resolutions:
"Resolred, That the action of the
Democratic caucus shall be binding on
all who participate in its proceedings,
provided that no member shall be re-
quired to vote on any measure which he
may regard as unconstitutional, and
provided further that OH all matters, eX-
cept nominations of officers and ques-
tons of procedure, no decision shall be
binding, unless made by two-thirds OF
those voting"
Mr.. Lewis antagonized this PROPOSE.
ton with notable force and ingenuity.
He claimed as seems entirely proper,
that the caucus should not seek to
cOnstrain any Democratic member
save in matters of party politics, as de-
fined in the party platform. In all
other matters, he urged, the individ-
ual should be left to act according to
his conscience and judgment, and for
the welfare of his constituency as he
understands it.
Of course, Mr.. Lewis did not stand
alone in this eminently sensible posi-
ton. He was sustained by such able
Representatives as McMillin, of Ten
nessee, and Mcguire, of California,
and others OF like caliber. But Mr..
Lewis, who is always alert and strenu.
Gus in debate. and who has shown on
more than one occasion that he can
defend himself against all Corners, ap.
pears to have outlined the scheme oil
the opposition, and to have carried
his point, for the moment at least, il
not as finally.
1t need hardly be said that the Post
is loyal champion of party discipline
and organization. We have expressed
ourselves too often and too emphati.
cally in that regard to leave the small
est room for doubt in any mind. II
is not our belief, however, that the
discipline should extend one hairs
breadth beyond the limits of strictly
party questions. Platforms should
be maintained with absolute, unques.

these, Which, national affairs are upper

ment to be of more importance thar
the dictates of a party caucus, it il
wise to keep dictation within the
narrowest bounds.

A Rabbits View of Christ,

Rabbi Leon Harrison, the pastor OF
one of the Jewish congregations in
st. Louis, while repudiating tine
dogmas on which the Christian
churches are reared, has come to en-
terrain such high conceptions of the
ethical and spiritual value of Christ's
teachings and example that he places
him beside Moses as one of the great
est products of Judaism. Two sem
fences from his pen are especially
noticeable. They are as follows:
Philosophy numbers its followers BY
the hundreds, but Christianity numbers
its followers by the millions 1t was
Christ teaching the gospel OF love that
caused all the world to throb in
sympathy"
1t was on the peaks of Sinai and
Calvary that the religion Of the world
was born, that power which lifts up to
heaven"
The rabbi brings to the advocacy OF
his peculiar views of a reformed

are you crying about? You really
ought to have more consideration
than to give way to your emotions at
the breakfast table, just as your hus-
band is starting out to begin a hard

pressing. Besides, the coffee is weak

"H-how c-can you be SO unkind?"
sobbed Mrs. Pettigrew. 81 think you

"Perfdy last night! What on

"You know we'll enough. Telling
your innocent, confiding wife that you

there was good deal of military talk
floating around during the evening.
Consequently, what you heard me refer

IF every man could live an out door life,
passing his time with gun and fishing rod
and canoe, there would be less illness in
the world. Unfortunately, the demands of
modern civilization will permit very few
men to live this ideal, healthful life.
Many men have to pass the day shut up
in offices and stores, and the nights in close
apartments in crowded cities. They get
little out door exercise. One of the results
of this unhe althy, sedentary living is the
awful prevalence of that dread disease
consumption. One sixth of all the deaths
each year are due to this relentless enemy.
Formerly physicians pronounced this dis
ease incurable. 1t is now generally known
that there is marvellous medicine that for
the past thirty years has been curing con-
sumption almost without a failure. 1t is
Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. II
cures oS per cent. of all cases of consump-
ton, bronchitis. asthma, laryngitis and
other diseases of the air -passages. 1t is the
great re-builder. 1t tears down, carries off
and excretes old, inert tissues and replaces
them with the firm tissues of health. 1t
restores the lost appetite and makes the
digestion perfect.
-Four years ago had an attack of grip that
left my throat and lungs i'll bad condition, !"
writes Mrs. Mary Hartman, of 400 Harker ST. ,
Mansfield, Ohio " The doctor said had dis
