What Insurgents Did.

That the insurgents have really ac-
complished great thing in the direc-
ton of bringing the party together
and putting II in shape for the fall
elections is the opinion of students OF
the situation. who believe that the
next few weeks will witness long ad-
vances in tthe direction of harmony.
The harmony spirit showed strong
development, both among the "regu-
lars" and the ''insurgents." Even the
speaker seemed to yield to the better
feeling that peryaded the capital city,
for he agreed TO summon Represen-
tative Augustus p Gardner. of Massa-
chusetts, one OF the insurgent leaders,
to conference, when the whole sit
uation is to be talked over in the
hope of reaching a better understand
ing.
The insurgent leaders are showing
their magnanimity in many ways, the
most striking of which Is their will
ingness that the entire Republican
membership of the new committee on
rules may be composed of regulars" b"
They do not ask for representation on
the committee.

who started the fight, "and now that
we have established that principle we
lare content"
Even Murdock Satisfied.
Representative Murdock also ex-
presses his most positive opposition
TO any effort to secure the placing OF
an insurgent on the rules committee.
He insists that the insurgents have
won their fight for a principle and
lare content. Both Norris and MUIR
dock say that insurgency is at an end
for this session, and that they intend
to use their influence for party union
land harmony
The Democratic opinion at the
Icapital Is that the Democrats have
come out at the little end of the
horn, so to speak. in the events OF

though nearly all OF them now feel
that the Democratic party has been

Blow for Reactionaries.
The most impressive lesson taught
by the recent events is that the pro-
gressive sentiment of the country has
at last reached Washington and has
dealt a telling blow to the whole
fabric OF the reactionary organization
that has heretofore shaped legisla-
ton almost to suit the will OF Senator
Aldrich and Speaker Cannon.
1t Is probable that aeither the Re-
publicans nor the Democrats will be
in hurry to caucus for the selection
of the members of the new rules
committee. The disposition Is to go
slow and let the skies clear. Champ
Clark, Representative Underwood and
Representative Fitzgerald probably
will be put ON the Democratic wing
OF the committee.
A common theme of speculation is
the effect that the readiustment in
the house probably will have on the
legislative program. Victor Murdock
and other insurgents express the view
that legislation will be accelerated.
rather than impeded. For months
under the system just overthrown the
rules committee has been afraid 10
bring in any rules. There was immi-
nent danger that the introduction OF
rule would bring about the revolu-
ton that finally did occur. No such
handicap win impede the new rules
committee. The Republican member

cept whatever orders Il may sec fit TO

was discussing the resolution authoriz-
ing the expenditure of $65,00O to ex-
tend the work of the special cost OF
living committee. Mr.. Smith said the
bears had sold the cotton at a lower
Iprice than cotton was bringing in the
south. They would have to go to the
planters to get the cotton, and they
would find they could not get 1t there
because the farmers were looking aftel
their own interests.

was interested in the price OF cottoI
because so much of it was exported
IMr. Smith declared the attorney gen
Ieral was not dealing fairly in takinl
lany steps that would play into ts
Ihands of those who would depress tn
prices. He objected to section whic
