on Rules, of which the Speaker is ex oficio chairman and mas ter. They prescribe the order and method of business in the House and also. practically, of all legislation. Taken together with the privilege of the Speaker to recognize or ignore members who wish to speak, the Speak CTS rules make the speaker supreme
 But "our" representatives vote for these rules, and 1t takes a majority to adopt these "gag-laws And when a bill ia reported to the House for action, the Committee on Rules brings in a ruIe for that bill;sa rule which pre- scribes when the bill shall be taken up how and how long 1t shall be da- bated. and. most humiliating of all, how and whether 1t shall be amended. And tbts snecial rule has to be. and it uena1Iv is adopted by a majority vote of tbe whole House. So you see, like ns ,.our" representatives rivet their fetters on themselves Once bound fast tbev cry aloud for recognition, as we do. and they sometimes lnsurge, as they call 1t; but again they are like ns-iate our" representatives repre- sent our political character as well IS our political condition.

ders why they do it, and l guess It IS because, being boss-made, they are ae- customed to that form Of worship, so they set up in Washington a Speaker in the image of their creator to rule over them.
 And he rules over them. l wish you could see them, as I have, sitting there gagged and bored; full of some speech which they know would make hit Didn't it win us when they delivered 1t al us from the stump? But they can f get chance to deliver it here The Speaker. Uncle Joe" Cannon, won't recognize them unless they see him before the House meets. and then they say they have to tell him what they are going to say. He can tell awfully funny stories about born orators whom he wouldn't see. He likes to tell them. The Speaker is not without humor. Now and then he does give q young orator the floor and. of course, that bores the others. Most Of the time however, he recognizes the old timers who represent business and they don't make speeches.; they talk business. So "our" representatives sit there looking like statesmen. It is wonderful how many of them look that part No doubt some of them are po- tentiaI politicians. But, as the late Speaker, Thomas B. Reed, said; This is a business Government and our" representatives are little more than an obscure lot of weary dummy direc- tors,
 And it is their fault. They blame he rules, and the rules are gag law Sneaker Cannon told me they were .Ee culmlnation of the wisdom of century and a quarter of accumulated expe-l- ence in legislation, but they were per fected by Speaker Reed, and he Was called the Czar.

man. as l havefound him, the United States is a confederation of Congress sional districts. and the national gov ernment Is a graft. His district is the centre; his constituents are the people His constituents want something, any thing. Whatever he can get out Of the nation as a whole for the good of his constituents is so much to the good. Thus he represents you as aginst me. Now you,--the most of yOu--don't want anything that l don't want. Your in terest. like mine, is in the common good of all of us. But since we want noth- ing in particular. we are not very act i've, and we vote the straight ticket. Thus We are taken care of. We would | vote for him, anyhow. He sees and hears from and is afraid of those | amongst us who want some special fla vor,-an office, or a job, or q pension, or protection for their business. These
 are the fellows our Congressmen have | to take care of. These are the men he represents. It is for the specially in terested few that the average Con gressman has to get things done. | Now, in Congress the place to get | things done is in the committees. They 1 are numerous secret, and under the rules, practically final. There are good committees and poor committees, and it
 is interesting for citizen to note that | they seem to rank according to the
 measure of their control over good
 thinEs-money and appropriations. But
 the Speaker appoints the committees,
 and he has the old members organized
 and pretty well satisfied So the new
 member has to "get next" to the Speaker And to "get next" and to
 win a good committee and promises of
 favors for his active constituents he
 has to pledge himself to vote not only
 for the Speaker but for the Speaker | rules

They are fayors. special acts, privileges, claims, patronages. advantages and exceptions; and they are distributed to individuals and special interests; and they are dealt fin as favors in return for con- tributions and allegiance to party and the organization. The spirit is the sr.rit of graft conservative" and honest" but the thought is of the man who wants something, not of the most of us who want nothing but the common good. They fear us, and they sneak of the common good, but they consider what is the least they can do for us, not the most; and they con slider what is the most they dare do for their constituents" without acus- ing all of us.
 And the exciting thing about this session is that they think we are demanding that they do some impor- tant things for all of us and very little for the few. And why do they think that? Because the President has told them so. They are not sure that he is right. Some of them. feeling the pressure of patronage seekers and special interests at home. think that if they could have all the appoint ments they ask for and all the spe- cial acts, they would De returned to the organization at Washington by the organization at home.

 Washington. Feb. 3.-The Senate. in its self-respect, looks down upon the lower branch of "our national legisla- ture with contempt, and Washington which sings what the Senate sings, like a Washington despises the House. I don't mind. I did at first When the friends of the Senate apolo- gized for the House as "too close to the people, I resented the s,ur as per sonal to me; which it was of course, But they bade me look into the House for myself: and I have done so -Iit- tie. And I find that our Representa- lives have very little respect for them selves
 The Senators, like our bosses al home have free speech in their Chambrr They may talk when they please. as long as they like and about anything that may interest them They are above party and defy platforms and rival party Headers like free men. 1 quoted once a writer who said Aldrich was the boss of the Senate. There IS no boss of the Senate. The Senate is deliberative body.

wants; and there are those shocking boss busting elections of last fall to suggest that we are indeed stirred up about something. The President says that what we want is a Philip pine tariff bill; statehood bill. admit ting Oklahoma and Indian Territory as a State and Arizona and New Mexico as another State; and a rate regulation bill. Do we? Some Of our" representatives say we don't They say, for instance. that the Demo crats. not the Republicans, promised in their platforms to regulate rates and that the Democrats were defeated But the President is for such a bic and the President certainly had us with him when we elected him. Has he now? That is what "our" rep resentatives ask, and they ask 1t anxiously because they have to come to us for reelection next fall.
 But it doesn't matter what our representatives guess about our mind now. The Speaker thinks the people are with the President. The Speaker is the House. He is with the President Wherefore the House IS with the President.
 It is strange, a puzzling spectacle, that of Theodore Roosevelt trying to accomplish something TOT us by sup porting the boss and ring graft com bine of the House of Representatives Why does he dc it? I have asked him. and his friends, and his enemies and I think l can answer the question:
 Our President. like our representa- tives in the House. want to accomplish something. Wherefore. like them. he combines with the combine" But of that further next week. Sufficient for
 the present is it to recognize that our House of Representatives represents us, in a way, for the present. Our dummy directors are ours.
