TIle Man AND the NLachln..

j. N. Griggs, one of the Democratic
insurgents. and one-time chairman
of the Democratic congregational
committee, deals with the ouestioo
Of the rules of Congress, in Van
Norden-The World Mirror for NAV
Mr. Griggs says that Uncle Joe" Is
the machine, and yet appears to con-
slider him a necessary evil-and not
SO much of an evil at thai. He
makes some good points and draws
attention to one or two matters that
ordinarily seem to escape notice.
He is emphatic in stating that a.
no parliament in the world does a
tub stand on its on bottom more
than in the United States Congress.
He points out that it is almost i'm
perative for a new member to MA
cate the machine" because. unless
there is a special session. as this
year. a new member really does not
take an active place In the House
until thirteen months after his cleo
ton. SO that. with State conventions
meeting in the middle Of the fol-
lowing year, the new man has
scarcely more than six months in
which to make good" to his con-
stituents. That is a point that has
escaped general attention so far.
Congressman Griggs does not
roast" Mr.. Cannon or the ma
chine" He analyses the situation,
points out defects, and suggests pos
sible useful amendments. 1t is one
OF the most intelligent crltiques Of
legislative procedure we have como

fishing in size aud with an increasing
public demand upon the President and
congress for action. the man respon,
sible for the present situation ID
sbreadstufrs yelremently denies thai
he has corneredl the market, com.
nents the Cumberland Times. He
Is merely a merchant. He foresaw a
scarcity. He did no forestallins.
He simply bought wheat when he
knew 1t was cheap and he now has 1t
for sale at a profit
So say they all. Few of the dar-
ing operators who have attempted
with more or less success to monop-
ollie markets have bean willing to
admit that they contemplated a
corner, and the one now in evidence
is not likely to do so. There are
laws in Illinois against forestalling
and against corners. There is a law
also, which has been upheld by the
supreme court Of the state, but
rarely enforced, prohibiting dealing
in futures.
Gamblers in wheat are shrewd
enough to point to the
high price OF wheat - that is,
real wheat-as proof that their spsc-
ulation is not responsible for the
advance in futures, but If it had not
been for the manipulation, OF futures
there would be no such demand now
for the actual grain. These opera
tors have probably bought and sold
many times over all the real wheat
that there is in the country. BY
such methods they have gained con-
troll of great proportion of the Wis
fble supply.
1t is not so easy to see how the
National government can reach these
evils, but states which permit ma
nipulators to monopolize food and
filch unearned millions from the
POCKETS of the people are shockingly
rciniss in their duty to themselves

A characteristic anecdote of Lin
coin dates back to the time when
there were so many fires at the ma
tlonal capital that suspicion of in
cendiaries was entertained. and va
rious northern cities began to offer
the services of special fire brigades.
The authorities of Philadelphia in
particular were most urgent and
sent a special committee to wait
upon the president and urge him
to accept the services of such a
brigade. The committee was te-
dious and long winded, and the
president was anxious to get back
to the public business which de-
manded his attention. Finally, see
ing no prospect of termination of
the interview in the usual way, he
interrupted one of the orators in
the midst of grandiloquent fight
by saying:
"Ah, yes, gentlemen, but it is a
mistake to suppose that | am the
head of the fire department in
Washington. am merely the pres
ident of the United States"
