The people of the United States,

will sympathize with Speaker Can
non and leading house members in
their attempt to force the senate in
to adopting cloture rules. When a
senator can, on the last day of ses-
sion, secure recognition and by con-
tinual talking, hold up all legisla-
tion until bis species of legislative
blackmail or robbery is recognized,
or force an extra session of congress
at heavy expense, it is time that
the rules were amended so that the
previous question may be moved.
