DO THE PEOPLE RULE?

In his speech accepting the demo-
Hon John Worth Kern replied to his
opponents assertion that the people
rule citing several instances in which
the will of the majority of the house of
representatives was defeated by the
arbitrary action of Speaker Cannon
Following are some of the instances
cited by Mr.. Kern:
Hon. L. White Busby is the private
secretary of Speaker Common. In Il
magazine article, discussing the powers
of the speaker, Mr.. Busby relates the
circumstances of bill having been pre-
pared and three fourths of the
members of the house having signed a
request to the speaker asking that the
rules committee of which he is chair
man bring in special rule for the con
sideration of the bill The speaker re-
fused the request. The chairman of
the committee pleaded and urged.
Continuing, Mr.. Busby says:
LAS u final stroke the chairman said
Then, Mr. Speaker this bill is to
fall by the will of one man who is in
the chair by our votes. We have no
redress from this onc.man power
Yes, you have, replied the speaker
You have Il way to pass your bill. You
placed me in the chair to shoulder the
responsibility of the legislation here
enacted. In my view can not assum o
the responsibility for this bill. You
can elect Il new speaker today, and pass
your bill, if you can find one who will
accept that responsibility, but if you
leave me in the chair that bill will not
become law.
The genial and accomplished speaker
has spoken for himself OH this subject
In an interview printed on August 20 in
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, a stall
wart republican newspaper. he points
out the only remedy left to the people,
other than that Of the ballot box for
the wrongs complained of. The inter
view said

The Bird Clown of the Woods.

The oddities of the yellow-breast-
ed chat begin even with his classif-
cation. To think of a warbler the
size of a Baltimore oriole! A warb-
Ter with a song like a mocking bird!
Indeed, there Is little about the chat
that Is not remarkable; he goes In
for the weird and the spectacular. IL
nature designed him to show what
she could do in the way of the unu-
sual and the eccentric she had re-
markable success.
This bird, and not the catbird. Is
the real "clown OF tho woods" Clown
of the thicket would be more apt,
for, like the catbird, he prefers the
shrub and lower trees; wild tangle
OF brlars and vines is favorlte
haunt. II is only the better to sur
vey such retreat that he mount to
the top OF a tree. From his lofty
perch he sings, to the amazement
and bewilderment of the person tha.
hears the song for the first time.
More likely than not he will become
invisible and silent upon the first
attempt to approach him, remaining
quiet and hidden till you move on
again; then he chuckles loudly and
scolds and spits and SCOTS till YOU
are out OF sight and hearing.
No bird is so fearful OF being seen
or such a master OF hide and seek.
II is worse than useless to try TO
steal a march on him. He manages
to be always on the wrong side of the
next bush. the one way to find his
nest, which Is a pretty little basket
OF straws and weed stalks, lined
with fine grass and strips OF soft
bark or leaves piled n foot or more
above the ground among tall weeds
or bushes. The sitting bird setals
away and Is at once lost to sight.
Take a peep at the white, red-speck-
led eggs, and then hide among the
bushes as far away from the nest as
you can while still keeping II In
sight. You may have to walt for
an hour and even make other trips
to the spot, but this Is the surest
way 10 get a good look at this shy
one.-St. Nicholas.
