I have been asked 20 say a word
about the rules Of the House-a word,
after the ocean OF words that have
been hurled at the rules in the last
two years.
Thomas B. Red once said: The
noise made by a small but loud mi
nority in the wrong is too often mis-
taken for the voice of the people ard
the voice OF God.
That remark applies 20 the discus
sion Of the rules.
These rules are the development OF
10 years. and they are now substan-
TALLY as they have been FOR q genera
ton. Just twenty years ago we had
campaign of denunciatiOn against these
rules, and all that has been said iB the
last two years was said then Then it
was the loud minority" trying 70 die
tate legislation. as il is now. The
Democrats were in the majority in the
FiNy-frst Congress. but they tried to
dictate legislation.
Why Reed Was Called Gar.
Speaker Reed and the majority. who
were responsible for legislation, re-
fused TO be dictated 20. Reed counted
q quorum Of those who were present
for mischief. but declared they were
not present for business. That action
Of Reed was denounced as "Czarism."
The discussion became international.
but the Supreme Court sustained Reed,
and so did the Democratic party. when
il came into power Il adopted what
il had denounced as The Reed rules,
absolutely repudating the denuncia-
tion f. had written into its platforms
In nearly every state In the Union.
The rules had not been changed in any
particular since they were used by the
Democratic Fifty-third Congress until
a year ago. a new rule. creating calen-
dar Wednesday. was adopted.

RECESSION AGAIN URGED
House District Committee Calls fOI
Report OF ResoImtion.

Friends Of the proposition for the re-
cession to the District Of Columbia OF
that old portion of the District which
was coded back TO Alexandria County in
1876, are attempting to get action at this
session OF Congress
The House District Committee yester-
day sent to the Commissioners for a re-
port Of a resolution on this subject.
which directs the Attorney General TO
pro Vcute whatever suits or actions in
law or equity which may, I'm his judg-
ment. seem appropriate or necessary TO
determine the boundaries of the District
Of Columbia. as defined in the proclama-
ton OF President Washington, dated
March 90, 1871"
Opponents Of the proposition to get
this large tract Of land back from Vir-
ginia claim that it is nothing more or
less than a real estate scheme.

TRIAL OF THE MEYER PLAN
OF NAVAL REFORM.

The House Committee on Naval At
fairs has wisely come to the conclusion
to allow a trial Of the Meyer plan of
naval reform. It is the idea of the
committee that Mr. Meyers plan OF re-
organization should be given a years
test Th s is not to be construed as
anything more than a tentative appro-
val OF the plan, but it iii at least
insure, so far as the &C unite can
have its way in Congress, an oppor-
tunity for demonstration whether the
plan has merit. The Newberry plan has
been tried, and It's workings are prst-y
well understood, and the trial of the
Meyer plan VIII give a chance for need
ed comparison.
One broad question involved IS
whether the navy yards shall be con-
Quoted as military in titutions under
the command of line officers, OF
whether they shall be conducted
as industrial institutions with
men experienced in construction at
their head The Meyer plan con-
templates predominance of the military
idea. To this, vociferous objection il
raised in some quarters. 1t Is argued,
and with some force, that it is no
more reasonable to put a line officer
in charge of a navy yard than to put
the skipper of lake craft in charge
of the building of lake vessels.
In addition TO changing the method
Of administering the navy yards, the
Meyer plan contemplatss a measure of
simplifcation in the organization of the
Navy Department and afiording the
Secretary of the Navy a better chance
to guide the department along the
lines Of developing the greatest mill
tary efficiency.
The Meyer plan should be tried, but
the House committee is right. too. in
setting about to effect a reform of the
department based on statutory pro
visions. The need for reform in the
navy has long been a crying one. It's
methods are unbusinesslike and extrav-
agant, and there is too much OF bureaus
and boards working at odds with each
other. But the matter viii never be
settled until Congress has overhauled
and modernized naval legislation and
made it unnecessary and impossible for
the successive heads of the department
to shift things first one way and then
the other

Can Be Heard Clearly,

JUSTICE HORACE Il. LURTON. OF
J the Supreme Court Of the United
States. the recently appointed successor
70 Justice Peckham. handed down his
first opinions as a member OF the court
this week, and general qualification was
expressed that he spoke out with a clear
and distinct enunciauOn which it was
not difficult TO hear in the court room.
This cannot be said for ali the mem bers
of the court
Justice Lurton's manner Of utterance
Is slow and distinct. with a sufficient
volume Of voice TO make himself heard
without difficulty. The acoustic proper
ties OF the Supreme Court room are not
of the hest. and some OF the members
of the court speak in a low and indis-
tjnc5 tone. The result is that many an
opinion is read from the bench which
is not understood throughout the court
room. Justice Lurton's opinions promise
10 have the merit that those who are
listening for them wi not have trouble
il following them.
Justice Day enunciates his opinions
quite distinctly. and so does Justice
Holmes. Justice Holmes is a New Eng
lander born and bred. and he speaks

and distinctly. At other times, he does
not speak with particular distinctness.
The same is true Of Justice Harlan II
he is handing down decision in which
he is stirred up, then he can be heard in
all parts Of the court room. Otherwise.
Il Is often difficult 10 hear him. Justice
Brewer is not easy to understand, and
at times Justice McKenna IS not.
Chief Justice Fuller, VINO is far along
toward his eightieth milestone, and
whose hair is as white as snow. is al
ways difficult to understand. He an
nounces decisions or other matters from
the bench in a low tone, and twenty feet
away il is almost impossible to under
stand him.
On the whole he presence on the
bench of the sup, sme Court Of a man
with a strong voice is welcome TO those
WHO are wont TO 20 into the court room
and listen to the decisions as they are
handed down every Monday.
