mony with the newsorder of rule by the
majority. 1t wass dispensed with on
Friday as a useless survival. With the
approval of regulars. insurgents ana
Democrats. a rule was adopted giving
a majority of the House the right to
take a bill out of the custody of COM
mittee which delayed unduly in acting
upon il and put it on the mouse calen-

Such cnange in procedure would
have been hooted at as preposterous two
years ago. But many things have
happened since this Congress opened
The autocratic power of the Speaker
has been broken and the House is rap
idly reacQuiring the habit Of self-Soy-
eminent. The recent debate on the in
terstate commerce bill was a striking
demonstration of the body's recovered
self-confidence. The interstate com
MERGE bill, as if passed. represented the
judgment Of the members themselves
and not the judgment of few leaders.
It carried more weight, therefore, with
the Senate than any House measure
passed in the long period Of ene-man
rule. Members see now that they can
trust themselves to consider measure
in all its details, and they viii not again
consent to a return to the old plan Of
letting a few leaders say what pro-
visions in bin shall or shall not be
voted upon in the House. An era of
greater freedom and larger responsible
ity in the popular branch Of Congress is
already in sight. The Houses capacity
will be increased and its influence will
be strengthened by a fuller exercise of
the long neglected functions of initia-
tive and self-government.

NEW 4EROPL4EE REc0PDs

Perhaps the most significant incident
at the indianapolis aviation meeting last
week was the making of q new record
for quick turn in the air with an aero
plane, Whether an airship engages in
scouting or aggression in war, facility in
manPuvring Will be one of the essentials
OF high efficiency. 1t has long been
known that the heavier-t han-air machine
can develop higher speed than the dirigi-
bic balloon. There has now been strik-
ing demonstration of the fact that the
former is also superior to the latter in
the ease with which 1t can change its
course. A combination of these charac-
teristics will cause the aeroplane to be
preferred TO its rival for much of the

sELFGoTERyuENT ~ THE HOUSE.


The House of Representatives is
gradually freeing itself from the tyranny
Of its own rules. On the supposluon
that il could not trust itself TO arrange
an order of business or TO secure the
prompt consideration of measures winch
a majority desired TO pass, the House
had intl-usted the powers of initiative
and Of veto largely To agents and
agencies of its own creation. As re
suit of the reaction against the filibus-
tering methods which prior 10 1890 had
made the popular branch the playthins
Of anv little group Of obstructionists
excessive authority was vested in the
Speaker and in the committees. The
former was made not only parlia-
mentary autocrat, with power to suppress
flibustering. but also censor Of legiS-
iation In his capacity as chairman OF
the Committee on Rules the other MEM

the business of the House deciding

check on the right Of the majority TO

rule forbidding the discharge Of com

except on a report from the Committee

Speaker We're thus enabled 10 smother
measures which he might think it unde-
sirable 10 have considered. The lack of

NEW TORKS DAY.

To the country at large It was Roose-
welt day, but to US, in the city of his
birth and ancestry, it was New York day
as well, the day for the public demon
stration of local pride in the most
famous of living New Workers, the first
son of the city TO occupy the highest seat
of honor in the nation.
1t was a holiday pure and simple, a
celebration without thought Of the NOR
row. 1t was a Welcome Home" and
nothing else, under a blue sky and smil-
ing sun, on the sparkling waters of our
Bay and along the hammered highways of
the city. We of New York rejoiced be-
cause Mr.. Roosevelt was again on Amer
lean soil, still more because he was
again on the soil of his state and city,
most of all because we knew that he was
glad 10 be again among Us, who wit
messed the first steps of his career. Depu-
tationS came from north and south and
east and west to greet him, messages
burdened the wires, but to us he was
yesterday, first of ALL our own, one Of
ourselves, our great city's foremost
citizen.
New York realized that it was more
than the host Of the returned American.
So it mingled a dignified restraint with
its enthusiasm. It was a great day for
Mr.. Roosevelt, and a great day for New
York, because the city appreciated just
what the occasion demanded. ard did it
sincerely. heartily, without a trace Of
that exaggeration which has not been
lacking in some of our earlier celebra-
lions. Best Of all. the occasion was strik-
ingly in keeping with the admirable.
serious. devoted spirit Of the brief ad-
dress made by Mr.. Roosevelt on landing
in reply to Mayor Gaynor's welcome.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

When Colonel Roosevelt was in Buda-
pest he witnessed a drill of the crack cav
airy regiment of the Austrian army, and
expressed his admiration of the horseman-
ship displayed by the Hungarian riders
If he had been in Madison avenue, near
43d street, yesterday he would have been
convinced that all Hungarians are not ex-
pert equestrians. A number OF men, wear
ing frock coats, high hats and riding
breeches, and further distinguished by
white silk sashes, were riding up the ave-
nue., evidently intent on gaining a place
from which to fall into the parade line
Cars, automobiles, carriages and trucks
were waiting while the traffic officers I'M
travelled the congestion. The riders had
the right OF way, and in their efforts to
move lively two of them were nearly
thrown Clinging to the necks of the
horses, stirrups and coattails flying and

of the few really humorous pictures incl
dental to the parade. There was nothing

The Lake of Blood" the Roth-See. near
L.ucerne, has assumed It's sanguinary color
this season, after many years, owing TO
the presence OF g seaweed which is rarely
found in the Alps. The peasants will not
visit the lake and have ordered their chill
dren not to look at it, as they believe mis-
fortune is sure TO follow. Whenever this
lake becomes red the peasants believe that
wars are sure to come, and therefore 1t
is predicted that before the end OF this
year a war will break out somewhere in
the world.

The feature of it which is most criti-

miles an hour as the maximum speed and

Mr. George Bernard Shaw, In the
character of the plutocratic socialist, has
just become the hero of one Of the most
amusing Of all his comedies. The In
tricacies of the income tax provide the
plot. The law regards the income of a
married woman as part of her husbands
income and requires him to give full
particulars concerning it. But Mr..
Shaw has no means of zascertaining his
wife's income, except by asking her.
She, being a consistent and resolute
suffragette, refuses. The law gives him
no means of compelling her. Therefore.
all he can do is to report to the income
tax commissioners his wife's name and
address and leave it to them to ascer-
tain the amount of her income. That
they can do. But, having done SO, they
are forbidden by law to 1mpart the in
formation to him Yet if he does not
get that information somehow he may
be sent to prison. And there is no use
in his appealing to his wife to give him
the information to save him from Jail,
because there is nothing in which q
suffragette glories more than imprison-
ment for principles sake; and if a
gladly goes to Jail herself,
she will the more gladly see her hus-
band sent thitller. Obviously, G. B. s.
is IN an awkward fix, out Of which. how
ever, we shall hope to see proceed a
play in the best Shavian style.
