FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH i9, 1909
THE sIxTY.FIRsT CONGRESS-.

assembled in extraordinary session
and the proceedings ofs the House Of
Representatives were OF the most i'm
portant character The people Of our
country are to be congratulated upon
the partial escape Of representative
government from tyranny which was
intollerable. as will be shown by the
proceedings Of the House on that day.
Ever since the days OF the late
Thomas B. Reed, who presided over
the House Of Representatives for a
number Of sessions. and who had the
body adopt rules for the conduct Of
its business, which were known as the
Reed rules" the speaker has been
clothed with despotic power that
would put to shame the Gear of Rus
sia. And under no speaker have these
tyrannical rules been so despoticalIy
administered. as under Joseph @. Can
non, the present Speaker Under these
rules. and their administration by Mr..
Cannon, no measure that did not have
his approval, could even be considered
by the House. and no member had any
standing as a representative except by
the grace Of this modern Gear
As to the minority, II simply had no
rights whatever that the Speaker rec
ognized or respected. the whole pro-
ceedure being scandalous travesty
OF representative government num-
Der OF prominent Republicans WINGED
under this condition. and have for
sometime been vainly trying TO cor
rect It.
When the session opened on Mon
day, motion was made to adopt the
rules OF the 60th congress, and the Re-
publicans who were opposed TO the
methods OF Mr.. Cannon, and who
were known as Insurgents" united
with the Democratic minority and
voted down the motion to adopt the
old rules and succeeded In securing
such notifications as materially clipp-
ed the wings Of the Speaker. and re-
stored to the House at last some OF IT'S
stored tothe House al least some ofits
that was desired by the Democratic
leaders, but enos Sh was done to bring
back the American House OF Repre-
sentatives to some decency as de-
Lucrative body
This stinglng rebuke TO official des-
potism and presumption was we'll
merited and will go further.
What the country needs most OF all.
Is the administration OF the govern
ment, in all its departments, by the
Democratic party. Down with despot.
ism and up with liberty. Down with
the tyrannieal rule OF the few and up
with the government Of the people

The economy OF expensive foods Is
explained by the fact that digestion.
at least In man. is dependent upon
havors, without which It Is so defec-
tive that we do not obtain the good OF
the food we swallow, AS far as ex-
periments 90. they substantiate these
assertions, for the sight and smell OF
pleasing food start the flow Of diges-
tive fluids, while disagreeable cdors
and sight stop II. DelIcatessen. then,
would seem be staples, for they are
necessary. The talk Of being able to
subsist on a few cents day Is simply
nonsense and leads to deterioration
OF health. What seems to be extraya-
gance In food purchases may be
wholesome Instinct. The high cost OF
living Is partly due to the cost OF the
tiavoTs we need. We commend these
ideas to our worthy dietetic econo-
mists. Laymen may not be 30 foolish
as the psychologists themselves.

Presldent,s Auto TOO Small.

The great and imposing looking
State limousine especially built for
President Taft has proved snare and
a delusion, although It seems almost
as roomy as Pullman car and vastly
more elegant. II has a fatal defect
The door Is too narrow to admit the
bulky person of the new President
without putting him to the undignified
necessity Of edging himself in BY care
full and easy stages.
Those who saw him maneuvering to
get into the fnachine al the White
House Tuesday were forced to laugh
at his crafty effort TO perform the act
without lowering the dignity that at

The Democrats of this State now
have an opportunity TO secure an
organ In Baltimore city. The Even
Ing World has been placed in the
hands Of receiver, and will be sold
at an early date. It has pretty good
outfit, and with some additional equip
ment. very creditable paper could be
issued. The size Of paper does not
cut so much OF a figure as the con-
tents. 1t is source OF much embar-
rassment to the party that 1t has no
dependable daily paper in Baltimore
city, and now that an opportunity Ia
offered we should take advantage OF
It, The World is already established
and as Democratic paper. under
proper business management, 1t could
be made to pay from the start.

WY the Ear.h Canno. ExpIede.

The theory is frequently advanced
that planets and even suns sometimes
explode and that the earth may some
day blow up like bombshell. No
celestial body the size Of the earth
could possibly explode. II the entire
molten interior OF our globe could be
replaced with nitroglycerin and deto-
mated thN exploNion would not lift the
earth's crust In other words. II we
assume that the crust OF the earth is
from fifty 70 hundred miles IN thick

more powerful than even nitroglyc-
erin to burst the she'll Il Is necessary
only to do little figuring TO see that
