a POINT POINT WELL TAKEN.

\ The January Forum calls attention

political system, the return of a de-
feated congressman to take part in the
deliberations Of a congress after the
voters have expressed their lack, of
coincidence in him, and suggests that
LIE the American people ever amend
their constitution, 1t will be worth
while to give careful consideration to
a proposition which will avoid partici-
patton by defeated member in fur
ther congressional deliberatfon. Under
the present system it points out an
election is held in November, and the
representative who, has been repud-
lated by his constituents returns to
Washington to WELD a free lance.

ttal, and even If they do occupy their
seats they are naturally under the dis
advantage Of having been discredited
at home If there is no extra session
land these sessions are held very in
:srequently-the new member does not
appear In Washington until thirteen
months after he has been chosen. By
that time the issues which were para
mount In the campaign may have en-
tirely disappeared, and, ait any rate, it
seems absurd for the newly elected
representative to remain away from
his post of duty for more than year.
To the Forum the English system
seems more sensible. '4In Great Britain
as every one is aware, a parliament
is dissolved when the ministry is over
thrown. The question ait issue is at
once submitted to the people, and when
the result of the election has been

It's a pretty fine point but it will
have to be decided. In one of our pro-

About all Ben Tillman has had In the
estimation of the country, is reruta-

and turned aside after he had fairly
entered into q suspicious bargain. may
still retain reputation for honesty;
men will disagree upon this point, es-
pecially when they consider that there

very small returns for dishonesty. The
tines of the Tillnlan pitchfork have been
twisted into accusing fingers that point
backward at its owner and manipula-
tor. Men have borne with Tillman be-
cause they felt faith in his honesty, an
uncouth honesty that spoke out and
swore loudly in the public square, but
honestly. Now that his confession has
been read and considered Tillman can
never count upon the entire confidence
of the country in his sincerity or his
integrity. There isn't much left of Till
man but the capacity for noise.
