Autocracy and the speakership.

In his speech introducing Mr.. Bryan at
Louisville Mr.. Watterson said:
I'VE purpose to reform, not to revolu-
tionize. the government. We purpose to re-
establish democratic institutions in the ma
tons Capitol, returning to the voters what
belongs to the voters. We purpose to drive
from the floor Of the Senate those who sit
there not as servants of the people. but as
corporation counsel. We purpose to drive
from the floor OF the House the Speaker
and his rules committee, who have made
an autocracy of that which was created
legislative body. In word, we purpose to
Teadjust the lost balance between the peo-
pie and their lawmakers"
Evidently Mr. watterson had not con-
ferred with John Sharp Williams on the
subject of procedure in the House, or he
would not have committed himself to a re-
turn to the old order OF things. What Is
called the autocratic power of the Speaker
Is terrible thing when the other fellow is
Speaker, but a much priced possession when
the tables are turned. Then there Is oppor-
tunity to give tit for tat and as mankind
Is constituted such an opportunity Is always
improved.
Mr.. Williams began his career In the
House in the Fifty-third Congress. Judge
Crisp was In tho chair, and was administer
ing affairs under a very mild modification
OF the famous Reed rules. which the demo-
Gratis, Judge Crisp among the number, had
sngrily opposed when they were first intro
duced. And SO it is that Mr. Williams, in his
own experience as a representative, has
known no other method of a parliamentary
conduct of the peoples business.
II the next House Is democratic this man
will be the Speaker. and his party will be
well served by him. He will use the power
of his Office to advance his partys policies,
and he WILL we may be sure, be stoutly OPP
posed to any proposition to reduce that
power in the slightest degree. As vigorously
AS he has rallied at it as exercised by
Speaker Henderson and Speaker Cannon, he
knows its value and its justification, and
will exercise 1t freely himself if the oppor-
tunity presents itself. Sand and sense are
necessary to successful autocracy, and Mr..
Williams possesses both.
But il is an exaggeration to represent the
Speaker of the House as the business of
that body Is now conducted as an autocrat
He may appear so as compared with the
man in the chair conducting business under
the old rules. which tied the Speakers
hands and left him helpless in the presence
OF an emergency. But neither Mr.. Reed.
who formulated the new rules, nor Judge
Crisp. who after opposing them was forced
to adopt them, nor Gen. Henderson, who
succeeded Judge Crisp in the chair, was an
autocrat. Nor is Mr.. Cannon, who does
business with firm hand. an autocrat. Nor
will it be fair so to describe Mr.. Williams IL
he comes in, and takes up. as he undoubted-
1y will. the reins as Mr.. Cannon lays them
down. The Speaker who should return to
the old rules, and put himself and the
House at the mercy of unlimited spouting
and partisan obstruction, would make a
mess of his duty and party leader
thoroughly discredit himself

Children's
New Footwear.

oMlh OTHING should receive
Nkll more careful consideration
luN than shoes, both for boys
" and girls. 1t is the inclina-
ton of youth to be on the feet, and
therefore the encasings of the feet
should be as near perfection as pos
sible. In a great measure the
nerves are affected by the care given
the feet. All these points have re-
ceived careful attention, and from
our large stock any boy or girl can
be perfectly, gracefully and, above

Prosperity's Shortage.
From the Hartford Times.


Probably no such widespread shortage
was ever known In the United States as
may now be found.
The agricultural interests Of the country
have been experiencing q great shortage Of
help and the total supply of farmhands IL
far below the demand.
Many of the great manufacturing con-
Germs, notably in some Of the steel and iron
districts, are handicapped by q shortage of
labor
The railroads are embarrassed by a
shortage of cars, and the facilities for the
prompt moving of the great crops are strik-
ingly inadequate.
The money market Il suffering from q
shortage of funds with which to conduct the
tremendous commerce of the country.
These various shortages, which are all
pronounced and which might be supple
mented by others, are born Of the abound
ing prosperity which the United States Is
experiencing in this record-breaking year.
The volume Of agencies and Of accommoda-
tions needed to handle the business which
this country Is now transacting from day
to day Is enormous.
