In recent years by skillful manipula-
ton and the adoption of code Of rules
the House has ceased to be delibera-
tive body and has been brought almost
absolutely under the control of the
Speaker. Louis XIV of France could
not with more truth say: 81 am the
state, than the Speaker of the House
of Representatives, under the present
rules, can say. II am the House.
1t has been demonstrated that it is
fruitless to attempt the passage Of leg
slation antagonized by the Speaker.
When legislation has his approval its
passage through the House of Repre-
sentatives proceeds with bewildering
swiftness and smoothness. His objec-
ton to measures cannot be overcome
By a majority Of the members, The
Speaker is really the master and not
the servant of the house.
We have witnessed his stern refusal
TO permit the house to consider meas
ures petitioned for by majority Of its
members. The subserviency Of the
house when its proposals are thus OBJ
structed is amazing. Charles the First
of England lost his head because he
refused to obey the expressed wishes
of a majority Of the English Parlia-
ment. Yet the members of the House
of Representatives tamely permit the
speaker, elevated to his position by
their consent, to scorn to permit a
majority Of them even to consider the
measures desired.
The speaker has almost ceased TO be
regarded either by himself or by the
country as the agent or spokesman Of
the house. He now considers himself
responsible to the country both for the
conduct and legislation of the house.
1t seems that the system has now SO
grown that he regards himself as re
sponsible TO the country and the house
as responsible to him. Instead Of leav-
ing 70 the senate and the president the
veto power upon the action Of the
house, as designed by the fathers of
the constitution, he arrogates to him
self this power. He has become far
more a restraining power upon the
house than either the senate or the
president. We now witness a speaker $
policy. no longer a house. The speaker
believes his selection makes him the
responsible leader of his party. and as
such entitled to dominate its policies
and control its legislation. Thus we
frequently witness a rivalry between
the speaker and the president -often
majority Of the house is in thorough
accord with the president, but unable
to give expression to their preference
in legislation, on account Of the power
of the speaker. From The Rule Of
the House of Representatives: A Crit
icism, by Claude A. Swenson, IN the

How to Color Easter Eggs.

Although the shops are filled with
eggs of every size, material and style
Of decoration, the average child feels
aggrieved if not allowed to do some ar
tistic work on his own account with a
genuine "hen-laid" egg as the founda-
ton. While dyes for coloring eggs can
be purchased cheaply, beautiful color
ing can be obtained at home without
money and without price The skin of
an onion boiled for few minutes gives
a good shade of red or orange, saffron
yellow, spinach or parsley delicate
green. If flower pattern is desired,
a piece of new calico wrapped smoothly
around the egg and then boiled will
leave color and pattern behind. If a
different color or motto is desired upon
the tinted egg, write with liquid fat
upon the shell of the egg, and let it
stand long enough to "set, before
putting in the dye. This keeps the
shell from taking the color wherever
the tracing was applied. and the motto
name or picture comes out in pure
white. The April Delineator.

Dubuque papers are authority for
the statement that Mrs. J II. Boyle,

case, attended school at Sinsinawa.
She was formerly Miss Anna McDer-

years of her life at ST. Clara 5, being
placed there when a young girl and
remained until about three years ago.
Her conduct was always above re-
proach, but after her return home she
made friends who led a fast life, and
as she was easily influenced, soon won
the displeasure of her parents, who re-
fused her their home any longer. They

PROPOSES TO
SHOW THEM GOOD TIME

Rev. w. J. Sanborn, as president
of the Chamber of Commerce, has re-
ceived a letter from the secretary of
the Trowbridge & Niver Company of
Chicago. announcing that the party
of 125 bankers who are to leave that
city on Monday will arrive in Pali-
sade on a special train at 11:30 on
Wednesday, June %, says today's
Palisade Tribune.
These are men of large affairs who
represent immense moneyed interests,
and the stop at Palisade will be the
only one between Chicago and the
coast They desire to see the famous
Palisade orchards, and it is the pur-
pose to give them every oportunity
possible during the short time they
can stop here, which will only be
until l o'clock.
The Chamber of Commerce is max
ing preparations to take the party
for drive. and it is estimated that
it will require fully 40 two-seat rigs
to properly handle the party, and
ranchers are requested to lend every
aid possible to make it a success.
H. G. Crissey has charge of the
teams and he desires to be notified
in time by those who will bring a
conveyance. Telephone him at Green
