QUICK CHANGE CONGREssMEN

Speaking to the recent State Democratic Con-
vention of North Carolina, Senator Overman
called attention TO the fact that the New Eng
land interests, i'll their control Of Messrs. AldrIch
and Cannon. controlled the Congress well.
Controlling the Congress, they rule the country,
By every point Of influence the few New Eng
land States, comparatively speaking insignificant
in size, in population and even III wealth, die
tate the policies by which the Nation is governed.
Nor is this circumstances chance of politics
or Of men. 1t results simply and solely from
the fact that New England is engaged in the
business of training Legislators. 1t selects
Representative or Senator intrequently. Once
in Congress he STAYS there Naturally he learns
by experience how best to serve his peculiar in
teress He makes attachments, gets in the way
of getting favors by giving them, gains every
wear in influence As be learns the ropes so
is he constantly better qualified. Practice gives
him almost fictitious ability. There is mini
mum of lost motion maximum of effectiveness.
The Western and Southern practice Is in the
main the reverse of that obtaining in New Eng
land. We have no Southern Hoars, no Lodges,
no Adrichs We do not have them, simply be-
cause we are unwilling to permit a Senator or
Ia Congressman TO remain for more than two or
three terms At the moment when their useful
ness has accrued, we release them from public
service Southern and Western representatives
are as a consequence green as respects their
duties Those from New England are familiar
with procedure, certain in their wishes, canny
and wise with experience. We hear good deal
of talk at times of the decline of Southern states
manship Is there not a reason for this alleged
degcneracv in the fact that do not permit
those whom we send 10 Washington to stay there
long enough to become fitted for their duties
A North Carolina example is the recent defeat
for denomination of Charles r. Thomas, Repre-
sentative from the Third District. Mr.. Thomas
had been in Congress for several terms and had
established reputation a hard aud effective
worker Had he been returned and the next
Fab elections resulted in a Democratic jor
itv, it is understood that he would have been re-
warded with the craftsmanship of one of the most
important Congressional committees. As it Is
he was defeated for denomination at the very
moment when his usefulness was ripcning. Hi.
case will be duplicated in practically every
Southern and Western State, in the defeat of mer
for return TO Congress who are just upon the poin
of becoming really servceable, their places to b.
filled by men strange to Congressional practices
They in turn. will no sooner have learned how tc
perform their duties with the maximum intel
ligence than they. too. will be called on to give
way to new recruits And SO the disheartenine
system proceeds, a system which would be con
temned in any business except in the business OF
government, the most important of all, but il
which the last thought seems to be the applica
ton of business principles
