Congress, when MIR. Reed nais up the
mir ority membership Of the Committee
on Rules. At ttat time the arr IN cement ;
of the minority list on the Ways and
Means committse does not seem to have
been construed Sd a5Folutely as detsrmin'
ing the min ority lsausrship on the floor as
was the case during the leadership OF Mr..
Bailey of Texas, In the 9th and 65th
Congressss The Committee ON Rules
occupied a leading place In that closs
Congress and the minority seem to have
locked to Ii for itS leaders. OF course
Mr.. Reed started out by putting onto
that committee Samuel j. Randall and
John q. Carlisle, recognized leaders o,
the minority. but Mr.. Randall was thsn
on his death bed, and MIR. Carlisle VA
very soon sent to the SeEate. MIR. Reel
| then turned to the most natural choices
next to thess; but tie great quorum tight
had then taken place, and one or two OF
the junior DemooI alto leaders were 40 out
of sorts that they declined to serve on
the Commit on Rules when the Speak
or appointed them. So the choice finally
fell on Benton McMilljn, of Tennessee.
now Governor of that State, but tne1 a
Junior lsa1er on the Democratic side, and
James Il. Blount. Of g eorsia, afterwaId
Mr.. Clcvelnnd's commissioner to Hawaii.
These men had the rsstect of the Demo
cratic side SO far as perscral character
and attainments were concerned. but they
were net recognized to have that in
detinsbls quality known as the ability TO
lead. This result was that they could
never be certain, when It was proposed
to fix an order Of businsis with the con-
ourrence of both sides. that the Dem o.
cratic side would follow them. They al
ways had to make q reservation as TO this
condition OF affairs. with the result that

The Speakers recognize the peculiar
conditions Of leadership, and therefore
they usually make man chairman OF
ths Wars and Means committso because
want to make him lsader. Why the
headsaip Of this committse is ths post

onos. In some Congresses the Ways and
Means committee does very little, report

bership, and the man most likely to lead
Is made its chairman. The reason for
this 10 found in the past as well as the
present. Up to and during the days Of
the civil war this committee handled the
appropriation bills as well rs the rsvs-
nae bills. The whole financial destiny Of
the nation lay In that committee room.
OF course, each chairman must te the
leader Of the House. But with the close
of the war the appropriation bills were
taken away. The reason seema to have
been that the work was too great for one
committee. Thus there grew up o new

YOU WALK VERY FAST.
This Authority Has 1t That $500
Miles an Hour In About Your
Usual Gait.

Have you ever thought of the distance
you travel while you are out for an
hours stroll?
Possibly Tou walk three miles in an
hour, but ;hat does not represent the
distance YOU travel. The earth turns
on it's axis every "a hours. In round
figures call the earth's circumference
$4,000 miles, and you must have travelled
during your hours stroll thousand
miles in the aNial turn of the earth,
says the New York World.
But this is not all. The earth makes
journey round the sun every year.
Put the distance of our planet from the
sun at 100000 miles The diameter
is therefore 1S4.0O0,OO0 miles, and the
circumference described by the earth
57S,000,00O miles. In other words, the
earth travels around the sun each day
1,584.000 miles, and every hour-for in
stance, the hour during which you took
your walk-the earth moved through
$4,000 miles.
So, adding your three miles Of leg
travel to the hours axial movement of
the earth, this to the earth's orbital
journey and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you will
find you have travelled within the hour
$500 miles.
