pen, did the author realize how much has

formerly thought to be prerogative of the

tent that the most improvident toiler on the
farm or worker in the mill whose capital is
his brawny arms oftentimes has a stake in
the community in his life insurance policy,
equal to his more fortunate brother with a
bank book or patrimonial estate. When the

yokes him from the OK, gloriies his life, and
exaIts him to the elevated plane of a hero
And the insurance agent is abroad in the land

FRESH FROM THE PEOPLE" A
MISNOMER.

Much is said and written about the
importance of our governmental poll
cies being shaped by representatives
fresh from the people" and yet the
anomaly is presented of Congressman
chosen thirteen months before they
enter on the discharge of their duties.
Thus the members of the Flfty-sixth
Congress will be elected next month,
but unless some unforeseen necessity
should arIss, making an extra session
necessary, they will not meet until De-
cember, 1901. The peoples present
desires will be shown in the choice
made in 1900, but who can say that the
same policies will be wise, or even ad-
missible at this period next year?
The constitution of the United States,
article l, section declares:
The Congress shall assemble at least
once in every year, and such meeting
shall be on the first Monday in Deem
Der, unless they shall by law appoint a
different day.
Thus the power to fix the date of as
sembling is placed in the hands of Con-
gress, and it does not appear that there
Is any valid reason why that date
should not be fixed at, say, the first
Monday in January. following the cleo
ton. This surely would bring together
body "fresh from the people, ''prepar.
ed to carry out the wish of their consti-
tuencies, and thoroughly understand
ing what that will is. This question
has been agitated before and we do not
recall having seen any argument
against the position here assumed.
That the people would welcome the
change there is no doubt, for as matters
now stand member of Congress, I'M
| less he is one who is reelected, begins
early to build fences for a second term,
loses much of his importance while 'on

have way of wanting their oders car
ried out "on the jump, 'and they get i'm

they believe are responsible for delay.
