party leaders in congress. IL will have
failed in its purpose if it's result is
merely the deposition of the present
leaders and the selection of others fol
lowing the same tactics and pursuing
the same policies. 1t is revolt against
the systems and policies for which the
present leaders stand; it is a revolt
against special privilege and against
the control of legislation by certain
large interests. Insurgentism first
manifested itself in the house in op-
position to the readoption of the rules
of the house The rules give the
speaker power to block legislation that
he does not favor. This power has
been of gradual growth. and its exer-
else has been acquiesced in because it
was believed that it was necessary in
order to secure the enactment of legis-
lation desired by the majority. The
speaker has used that power to defeat
legislation instead of furthering legis-
lation."
Gilbert y. Haugen. representative
from Iowa, says of the insurgent move
ment:
Experience. careful observation and
thought convince me that the best in
terests of the people in general and
the country at large could be better
subserved by modification of the
house rules. ! am absolutely opposed
to the concentration of legislative pow
er in one man and the curtailment of
n hnr's riuhts Nd
pendence. | believe that better op-
portunity should be given the people
in general to express their wishes
| through their Representatives in con
gress and to obtain their just rights.
The right and privilege under the
rules should he given to members to
record their Judgment and convictions
as their consciences dictate. This is
simply contending for that which our
forefathers fought-freedom of thought
and action"
| Here is what Miles Poindexter. rep
resentative from Washington. says OF
the movement:
Progressive Republicanism especial
" stands for a reorganization of the
house of representatives so that that
branch OF congress at least shall be as
it was intended 10 be--responsive TO
public opinion. AS it is controlled to-
day by the patronage and power of
the speaker, it is wholly unrepresenta-
tive. 1t is not even conducted under
regular rules, but in all crises under
a system of special orders for partic-
ular occasions as the desires or the
nxigencies of the speaker and his lieu
tenants may demand.
Two changes alone will restore the
house to its true character rs a popu-
lar legislative body-first. that the
house itself and not the speaker by a
geographical system of distribution
shall choose its committees. and. sec
ond, that the privileges of the com
mittee on rules be restricted and that
Its orders shall not be adopted but b.
n two-thirds vote, as is already really
provided by the rules of the house. bu;

Another of the insurgents. George
W. Norris. representative from Ne
braska. says of the insurgent move
ment:
1.-The insurgents in the house Of rep
resentatives are fighting system and
not individuals. 'Cannonism' is no in
dividual. but a machine. 1t goes deep

The speaker is the head of political
organization Of which he Is only the
instrument. the means. by which its
will is carried out. The speaker de-
rives all his power from the rules of
the house. The particular source Of
that power which gives him influence
in controlling legislation greater than
is possessed by any other person. ex-
cepting alone the president. is that
rule which authorizes him to select the

Who Are "Thev."

We all have a way of saying "they
say" this or that of some person, or
some thing and accepting it ourselves
as authentic when someone says they
say to u.s.
But if we stopped to inquire into the
exact source of the information. either
we would be unable to trace it back
to anyone other than that elusive in
dividual, They Say" or we will find
back of it the unkind gossip of some
energy.
ALS just because they say" fails
to put the blame of a falsehood on any
one persons shoulders it really is the
most dangerous of statements and one
of the hardest to refute-
So let us beware of believing they
say" stories. Let US treat lightly all
gossip introduced by the words they
say" Or if this gossip makes us sus-
picious of its objeet-and it is natural
and human that it should at times
let us suspend judgment until we
KNOW. In other words, let us do the
object of they say" the justice to
investigate until we find someone who
is in a position from actual knowl-
edge and whom we can trust, to make
a positive statement over his own
name as to the truth or falsity of the
they say" story.
The writer has been led to pen this
little lesson in practical fairness by
reading a little book issued by the
Coca-Cola Company. of Atlanta, Ca,
entitled ''Tne Truth About Coca
Cola" That truly delicious and whole
some beverage mas for so long been the
subject of they say stories in which
all manner of untrue and detrimental
things about Coca-Cola have been cir
culated that the manufacturers have
been forced TO issue their book giving
authentic information about this bev-
erage. And the information therein
contained does not rest its case on any
they say statements, but bases its ar
guments on analyses and statements of
chemists and scientists occupying the
highest positions in America.
This is a most interesting books
fine study in dignity in refuting false
hoods-and a book of information that
all should read You will find it well
worth your while to write and ask the

send you a free copy.

Tn the happ,est little woman,

And my merry laugh and singing.

For JOHN HAS QUIT HIS DRINKING
And is like himself once more
And the world is just paradise
With such happiness IN store!

And III send and get the same.

And put II IN Johns supper
Ana put 1t IN his tea
And # didn't taste little BIT;
Had no odor, so, you see

For little Doctor Me.
And watched and prayed and waited.
(And cried some, too, guess),
And didn't have the greatest faith,
I'm ashamed now 70 confess.
And John never thought minute,
BE was being cured OF drink,
And so0n he's as well as any one,
Ii makes me cry TO think.
just makes me CRY for gladness,
I'm so proud to be his wife
Since he is cured of drinking,
And leads a nice, new life
s'Since John he quit a-drinkingi''
can't say It times enough
And hates and loathes q liquor
As he would poison stuff.
And when say my prayers &C night
AS thankful as can be-
