WIse Restraint.

MISC t6G5GEtALuLs
ChaRng with fmpatience to have
The Democrats take a whack at ma
fional Legislation, the Philadelphia
kaaecord. a deep-dyed Democratic
newspaper, is now ,bewailing the
condition of affairs that does not
allow the new Congresses that are
elected in November to meet until
december of the following year.
This is designated as an anomaly by
the Record and that newspaper goes
on to say:
In no country where parlia-
naentary Institutions pertain is a
term OF more than year permitted
70 lapse between the election OF
representative assembly and installa-
ton IN the seat OF power. In Eng
land the newly chosen Parliament
meets within, four, or i've weeks af-
ter the yrtts OF election have gone
forth. In no other countries that
have representative assemblies is
the interval longer than two OF
three months, and our own state leg
islatures generally meet I'll the jan
nary following the November bal
lpting.
As the Washington Herald cor
tectly remarks, the present system is
relic of the tedious and incon-
Yenient methods of travel of CEN
tnry ago. AT the present time, when
members can get to the capital
nom the furtherest ends OF the
country within four or five days,
the delay of the meeting OF a new
Congress Tor thirteen months after
ats election is an absurdity. 1t Is
something worse than an absurdity,
however, that party majority which
has been voted out of office should
remain in practical control of
affairs for another year, and
should continue to 1egislate af-
ter 1t has been repudiated
AZ the polls. This could hap
pen in NO country but ours. Unfor-
tunately, a complete remedy would
he impossible without a constitu-
4ional amendment. The term Of the
outgoing Congress does not expire
until four months after a national
election. This situation is further
complicated by the fact that the
new senator's cannot be elected until
the state legislatures meet. The
nearest date following the November
balloting 6hat new Congress could
conveniently and legally assemble
would, therefore, be March A."
OF course it is quite proper that
the will of the people should have
proper and substantial expression at
the earliest practical opportunity,
but the desire of the Record to over
throw the bounds and restraints OF
popular passion that were wisely es-
tablished by che trainers of the Con-
stitution 4 AIhacks somewhat of
bartisanship. -selfshness. The found
ers OF the nation in va
rious ways endeavored to pro-
Vide checks upon sudden and
sweeping changes in our national
affafrs and upon the vagaries of
transient ideas, and there is much
evidence to support belief that
they considered this feature concern
Ing the assembling OF the Congresses
quite as much as they. did the con-
venlence of members in travelling to
and from the national capital.
The constitutional restraint that
Is now holding the Democrats in
leash may be. as the Washington
Herald says a relic or a century

attend drills. A court martial was held
in August of last year and the men
fined. Their refusal to pay led to the
order from the head of the regiment
and their dishonorable discharge today.
Bogardus, who is an Oakland bank
clerk, was recently involved in tangle
at the bank where he was employed
and was placed under arrest. but sub
sequently released. Thurnherr is a
brother in law of Jean Thurnherr, the

monthly installments amounted to $44.
