Too Long i'm Power.

The Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican says:
'If the voters of the country could
come TO Washington and get a realiZ-
ing sense how. without regard to par
tisanship. the house of representatives
needs the cleaning out process that
only change of party control will
give il. the chances of democratic sue
cess next fall would be largely increas-
ed. IT. is scarcely too much 70 say
that the house is rotten. The republi-
cans have been in too long. and the
evils of too long an enjoyment of I'M
threatened power grow more and more
apparent. There are republican chair
men of committees who are every
where spoken of as corrupt and who
are regarded with contempt by the de-
cent men even. in their own party. Yet
the machine seems afraid to reduce
them to the ranks. and only the in
coming of the democrats, if only for
n single congress. will restore things.
The fault does. not lie with the repub-
licans as republicans; doubtless if the
democrats had enjoyed control for II
years. conditions might be as bad. The
point is that existing conditions are as
stated and that if the republicans win
next fall conditions will inevitably be-
come worse yet.
