The House Minority Leadership.

VIII Mr.. Williams lead his party in the
House next winter? He does not go to the
Senate until March. 1911 and there will be
good deal doing at the first session or
the Sixtieth Congress. He belongs in the
lead. and would find a place in the ranks
rather dull.
The reason for the opposition to Mr.. Will
liams in the last House was not made en-
tirely clear An impression prevailed that
it originated with Mr.. Hearst, and had to do
with matters of committee assignments
rather than with party policies. Mr.. Cam
non deferred to Mr.. Williams in recognize
Ing the minority. but Mr. Williams did not
sufficiently defer to Mr. Hearst as to the
placing of the latter and his friends. This.
however. did not explain the situation in all
OF its aspects.
As for Mr. Hearst. he has retired from
congressional life. He will not be present
to ask anything for himself or his friends
He Is busy with his presidential boom, and
the distribution of minority honors in the
House will probably give him small con-
Germ.
Mr.. Williams is not the only pebble on the
beach There are several democrats who
would lead their party In the House very
creditably. Mr.. De Almond and Mr. Clark
OF Missouri, Mr.. Underwood of Alabama
and Sulzer of new York are all good par
liamentarians and all veterans. All also
are faithful party men. Mr. Sulzer while
the New York democracy was laundering
against Mr.. Bryan and all that he repre-
sented. remained mistaken in his allegi-
ance to the Nebraskan. He could not be
coaxed or driven away from the object of
his admiration.
Still, all things considered. Mr.. Williams
Is probably his party's ablest representa-
tive in the lower house of Congress. He
has not pleased everybody but in the role
of minority leader has done better service
there than any of his predecessors in the
past thirty years 1t is difficult role to
fill. The democrats have been in the mi
nority so often and SO long they have had
to cultivate Kicking" and they carry 1t
so far that now and then. when the
publicans fail to supply sufficient provoca-
ton. they kick each other. But where Mr..
Bailey and Mr.. Richardson. both men of
ability. failed Mr.. Williams succeeded, and
here Is still an excellent reason why his
party should continue to train under him.
The Mississippian. like SO many other
southern leaders, while Bryan man, yet
opposes the two policies with which Mr..
Bryan is now the most prominently identi-
fed. He does not consider either govern
ment ownership of railroads OF the initia-
tive and referendum good democracy. and
will vote to exclude roth proposit ons from
the next democratic national platform.

Two Paragraphs.

In a recent issue of the Sioux City. Iowa.
Republican are printed two editorial para
graphs worthy Of reproduction in conjunc-
ton. The first is as follows:
The Washington. D. c., Star says q good
word for Allison. The senator's position in
the appropriations committee makes every
rich Washingtonian sensitive"
The second paragraph Of this interesting
series reads thus:
The Cedar Rapids Republican says-but
what's the difference what 1t says? 1t is
waste of lather to shave an ass the
SpaniardS say.
1t would seem as though the incident were
closed.

Another Reform.

They tell US of the demon rum,
Which works disaster great:
And how the demon greed may como
In time to wreck the state.
But there's one demon worse than all,
1t bids our comfort fly,
AS indigestions pangs appall-
1t is the demon pie
1t brings us dreams of terror strange
Throughout the weary night,
And painful tremors fiercely range
Our beings when It's light
So let US rally 'gainst this foe
And shout the battle cry:
Down with the cause Of all our woe!
Down with the demon pie!''

The Permanent Court.
From the Now YORK Times.

Mr. Choate's exposition Of the American
project for a permanent peace tribunal
fairly raises the most important question
that The Hague conference has had to con-
sioer. Mr ChOate well said that in the
six weeks of the session the conference had
done much toward regulating war. but little
toward preventing it. The greatest stride
that could be made in the way Of pre-
vention is an international court from
which a national sutton would be as con-
fident of obtaining justice as an individual
Englishman. Frenchman. German or Amer
lean is now confident of obtaining justice
from the highest tribunal Of his own coun-

Georgia's Experiment.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Trlbune.
The success Of the prohibition movement
in Georgia seems to have been due to q
curious combination of influences. There
can be no doubt that the natural tenn
perance sentiment of the churches exerted
a powerful pressure for prohibition and that
prohibition was desired and fought for per
sc by that sentiment, just as it was in
Maine and in Kansas. But It seems
equally clear that this sentiment must
have been reinforced by an economic
influence which compelled acquiescence
on the part Of thousands OF citi-
zens not theoretically opposed to the
liquor traffic. Otherwise 1t would be ha I'd
to explain the overwhelming vote for the
prohibition ordinance in the two houses of
the legislature and the failure Of the cities,
with large license revenues and large in
vestments In the liquor business. to make
any Roadway against the movement

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure,
there are hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom decaying rushes ON the floor
OF his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth.
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid.
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
it was not subject to rapid changes OF
fashion. The cut of sleeve or the
hang of skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like last years rag bag.

the fact that the fiat has gone forth
that it is vulgar to eat pie.
