defeated by Tom L. johnson. demo
crat, was born In Jefferson. Ohio, De
cember 20, 1851. After receiving a
common school education he wen to
Oberlin College and Was graduated
there in 1872. Three years later he
was admitted to the bar and began
the nraetice of law in Cleveland. He
took an active interest in politics
soon after he had located in Cleve-
land and in 1889 he was elected a rep
resentatiye in congress. He was elect
ed a second time in 1895 and has
since continued to represent the
Twenty-first Ohio district In the last
congress Mr.. Burton attained much
prominence by reason of his posi-
ton as chairman of the house commit
tee 'on rivers and harbors. In 1902
Mr. Burton published a notable hand
book, entitled Financial Crises and
Periods Of Commercial Depression"
He is strong supporter OF Secretary
of War William H. Taft for the repub-
lican presidential nomination and
during the past summer it was rum
ored in political circles that Mr.. Bur-
ton was favored by the Roosevelt adj
fninistration for the speakership OF
the sixtieth congress. in preference to
Joseph G.. Cannon of Illinois.

THAT CONGRESSIONAL MYTH.

THE WILL OF The PEOPLE.
IN his address just before taking
the oath as speaker, Mr.. Cannon said
that the fundamental principles of
free government are unchanging, rest
ing on the viii OF the people and put
in action by the representatives Of
that will. This house." he continued,
lis the only institution under our con-
stitution where the will of the people
may be expressed with fairness ap-
proximating scientific accuracy. Other
departments of the government have
lofty and important functions, but to
this house belongs the peculiar, the
delicate and the all-surpassing func-
ton of interpreting and putting into
definite form the win Of the people. :"
The correctness of this character
ization is subject to good deal OF
comment. The Will Of the people is
convenient phrase for politician.
but 1t is an Elusive quantity With
refernce to the greatest number of
questions which come before the
house, the win Of the people has new
er been expressed, and can only be
guessed at. In choosing representa-
tees the people have some chance to
express their wishes. but such express
sion as there is must be limited to a
few questions. II often happens that
the choice depends upon single
question, which determines whether
one man or another shall be elected
to represent a particular district As
to all the immense residuam Of leg
islation the congressman has no in
structions- It may happen that his
people will express themselves during
his term by petitions. by mass meet
ings and the like, in favor or against
certain measures upon which he is
called to pass These cases are rath-
err exceptional. and when they occur it
Is often impossible to tell what is de-
.sired by majority of the people. But
even when the will OF the majority IS
