When Their Hand is Called
Many Democrats Dodge
Question Taking Away the Power Of the Speaker d e House
Of Representatives is DisquieiiRs One 10 Members
Of the Next Congress

Washington, Dec. 3.-Will Champ
Clark, speaker, name the committees
Of the next house OF representatives
or will they be named BY committee
on committees, subject 70 the APP
proyal OF the house?
That is the big, imminent, preg-
nant question in national democratic
affairs. now that the democrats have
captured the house OF representa-
tives. They have year TO think
about il, and from the present I'M
certainty of their minds, it is fair
to say that they will need the year,
Seldom has personal interest. ambi-
ton. desire for power and eagerness
to play good politics" precipitated
so difficult question. or made such
insistent demands for its answer.
Right or wrong, the country
seems to believe that the democrats
are committed to the program OF
taking the committee appointing
power away from the speaker. There
are democrats who insist now that
the verdict Of the recent election was
against Cannon, not Cannonism; but
there is racking, grievous uncertainty
whether the country feels that way
about ii.
Without exception, democrats who
come to Washington in these last
days before the opening of the con-
gress session talk Of their victory in
the late campaign with reference to
its effect on the presidential cam
paign two years hence. Some OF
them-most OF them-insist that II
means that the democrats will elect
the next president. Others qualify
their confidence with the reservation
that '.if they make good with the
country the democrats will elect the
next president. And there are not
wanting those who insist that IL the
democrats do not give definite evil
dence OF their capacity TO produce
what the country wants. then they
viii meet defeat In 1912.
Having captured the house of rep
resentatives, the democrats will have
the power to initiate tariff and reve-
nue. legislation. They cannot force IL
into the statutes unless they can Sc
cure cooperation of minority of re-
pnblicans In the senate. The prac-
teal political question with demo-
Gratis, therefore. is, How can we ae-
eomplish most OF what the country
demands while We are yet in control
OF the popular branch OF the national
eongress?"
This statement OF the case forces
attention 10 those possible accomp-
iishments which may be, wrought. By
the house alone; and -chiaf Of these,
in every discussion Of the subject,
is the effective reform OF the house
rules so as to make that body hon
estiy responsive and responsible to
the will Of its majority. In short,
will the rules OF the house be amend
ed SO that the democratic speaker
will be sborn Of those powers whcih
have caused succession Of repubIi.

20 per cent. difference OF ~ per

that on a sprayed tree which picked
three barrels of fruit, one barrels of
perfect fruit, worth 81 to $1.25 net,

The orchard owner IL chiefly inter-

spraying was due to reducing the

that the fruit remained on the tree.
On the unsprayed trees an average Of
Is per cent. of the total fruit dropped
As wormy. and 1877 per cent was
yormy when picked.
In the four orchards In 1908, about
Is per cent of the total fruit was
wormy drops on the unsprayed trees
and five per cent. on the sprayed

shows that Of the total crop Of fruit
on any tree, Al per cent. drops as
wormy and Al per cent. Is wormy

Subtracting the percentage which
drops plus the percentage which Is
wormy when picked from 100, gives
the percentage Of the total crop which
