The speaker of the house OF representa-

He gets this power through his right

The new member goes away indig-

speaker 10 recognize him. as he learns
by study OF the rules. A member with
out recognition is a NTH wheel on the

ne rises in his place on the floor. ex-
pands his chest under its broadly dis
played white shirt bosom and addresses
the chair. His leadership of the minor
ity has not the strength OF Reeds one
time position on the floor; but the
speakers leaning toward him-l wonder
If it is born of admiration or an appre-
citation Of his pliancy TO Republican
wishes-makes him a strong man in the
house. and he is always one OF its pic
turesque figures.
Honors are more evenly divided on
the floor Of the house than they are In
the senate chamber There the pic
turesque figures swarm on the Repuo-
lican side and are sadly wanting on the
Democratic. Here there are as many
odd and interesting characters on one
side Of the house as on the other. There
for example. is Amos Cummings, who
eXemplifies the old professional adage'
"Once a journalist. always n Journal-
ist" Cummings is a graduate of the
| New York Tribune of Greeley's time
and the sun under Dana. and i'm spite
OF a dozen years i'm congress he remains
a newspaper writer and furnishes n
weekly letter TO syndicate. He doesn't
take as fresh view of matters current
at the capital as he might, perhaps be-
cause il is not possible for n congress
man 10 take an unbiased position men,
tally on any matter and because cour-
tesy restrains "a member OF congress

TO be saying continually pleasant or
complimentary things about public men

istration organ or as the colleague of
! 355 members Of the house. But N cum
mings' letters are spineess he is paru-
san enough when he takes the floor IN
debate, and his recent defense Of Tam
many purity was master work, when
you consider the difficult subject with
which he had To deal. Perhaps his in
spiration would have overcome even
greater difficulties. for Tammany has
given him all the lucrative offices he has

The speaker examines the bill careful
ly. Presently he says: Il think that
this is bad bill / think that it should
not be passed j will not recognize you
to call il up"
Then the new member wants to know
If he has any rights as an American
citizen and a representative of The SOW
ereign people. and he finds that i'm this
particular matter he has not. And he
eXhorts his fellow members To rebellion
against the whole vicious system which
gives 10 one man the right to control
the action Of 355 others. And the other
members laugh at him or reason with
him. And in time he becomes accus~
toned to the hopeless situation and
grows silent. But he is not reconciled
To the condition of affairs until he has
become one of the old members or pos
sibly is speaker of the house himself.
IL is a wonderful state of affairs in
the house which makes IL possible for
the Republican who is speaker to con-
troll the action Of the Democratic minor
ity in SO important a matter as the Sc
lection OF a leader No one doubts that
il was by the interference of the speak
er and through the power he exercises
in the distribution OF committee places
was chosen as the candidate Of the
minority for the speakership and thus
made the spokesman Of the Democrats
on the floor OF the house. No one thinks
for a minute that young Bailey would
| have been the choice OF his party If
there had been a Democratic majority.
The honor OF the speakership would
not have been for him. But who knows
| what effect that Endorsement by the
minority may have when the Democrats
regain control of the house? Thomas B.
| Reed was the choice OF the Republican
| minority when Carlisle was elected
speaker of the house. When the Repub-
| licans elected a majority two years
later there were three candidates for
| the speakershlp, and Reed won. ] well
| remember one member OF the house
saying to me that he was dsgustcd
with the claims of Reeds friends, who
were playing the baby act' and claim
| inc for the Maine man not that he was
| the fittest man for the place. but that
he thought he would be disgraced If he
was put aside now after his nomination
| for the complimentary vote in the pre-
vious congress At that time the Re-
publicans did not know what kind OF a
speaker the man from Maine would he
He had had no experience I'm the chair.
! After they came TO know him they re-
elected him, and there was no question
OF his right Co the seat It is possible
that the round faced Bailey will be able
TO make a successful appeal at some
future day on the ground OF his present
leadership of the minority.
Young Mr.. Bailey is the Narcissus OF
the house. Complaccncy and self ad-
miration ooze from his pores and cre-
ate an atmosphere about him as he
walks across the floor. There IL con

Washington Feb. Some OF the stock
Jokes OF Washington is the difference
in the official position OF member OF
the house of representatives here and
at his home. 1t is not much of a joke
to the congressman when he is new to
public life IL carries with il disillu-
sionment which is anything but COM
Portable. Our congressman" is so ac-
customed to Difference. If not adulation.
in his district, that 1t is hard for him
10 understand the fnsignificance of the
place he is to occupy in Washington.
To be one Of 355--a futile and impotent
355-does not prove so much of an hon
or as il seemed in anticipation Under
the Reed rules, which now govern the
house, this may be very empty honor.
\ few days ago as j sat in the press
gallery looking down at the debate on
the floor Mr.. Barrett of Massachusetts
made an earnest protest against the at
tempt Of the older members of congress
70 shut out the younger members from
their privileges. II was the old plant
a great deal older than Mr.. Barrett. He
heard it ten years ago when he was a
correspondent and sat in the press gal
lery. and no doubt he smiled at it then
as / do now. OF course the younger
members. are denied their privileges by
the older. just as the younger boys at
an English school are compelled to
"fag'' for the older ones. Theoretically
the younger boys arc entitled 10 equal
privileges within the school rules They
pay as much for their tuition. But actu-
ally the younger boys are made to feel
their youth and their inferOrity. Ii is
the way OF the world and very much the
way OF congress. The same condition
OF affairs holds good I'm the senate,
where the young blood" injected into
that disnified body few years ago has
had hardly perceptible effect in modi-
fying it's conservatism.
The older members Of the house have
the choice Of places on the important
committees they are recognized more
promptly. and more time is allotted to
them in debate. They arc permitted a
freedom Of uttersnce which is denied to
their young colleagues.
II is all wrong. / know, and the ap-
plause OF the new members who listen
ed 20 Mr.. Barretts complaint was well
deserved. Rut complaint and applause
are not going To change the condition
OF affairs. The favoritsms OF the
house are going TO continue 10 rest with
thc older members. and the younger
ones arc still going 10 fnd themselves
unmportant quantities except when
their votes are needed 10 make a ma jor-
ity.
You might expect them 20 adopt
trades union ideas and combine TO with
hold their votes until they obtained rec
ogniton. But whatever they might
gain momentarlly on the noor of the
house by strike. they would lose more
IN their districts for their failure In
regularity. Nothing is going 20 change
