rhe president OF the United States
says that hereafter he may consult
with Senator Bristow about naming a
postmaster in the senator's home city.
Since the recent election returns he
regrets that he turned down Senator
LaFollette's recommendation OF a
man for census supervisor in one of
the congress districts of Wisconsin in
face of the fact that Mr.. LaFollette
was chairman of the census commit
tee of the senate and in a position
TO have held up nominations OF census
officers which were referred to his
committee for report after being
sent TO the senate and before con
firmation. Incidentally the senator
from Wisconsin made no reprisal, but
reported the nominations promptly.
And how does the president who
admits that he tried TO use patronage
as a bride and failed, expect those
men who served country above self
to answer him now? The answer came
very speedily from Iowa. in this ut
terance from the Des Moines News:

THE LOUISE OF LORDS
BY LOUIS G. HOECK.

real question. The great problem is
To get an upper chamber that shall
represent the VIII OF the people, and
yet possess dignity and permanence
greater than that which belongs to
the lower chamber. SO long as the
house OF lords represent primarily the
landed interests, there will always be
conflict with the peoples chamber, the
house OF commons. And, likewise In
the United States, so long as the SEN
ate represents in particular a privi-
legged class, or special sections OF the
country, progress will be retarded, the
nation will suffer. and the outcry
against injustice will grow stronger
and stronger, until some remedy il
forced.
II Is true that the United States
senate, differently from the house OF
lords, Is not intended TO act as a
check on the lower house. II was
created rather TO preserve the rights
OF the smaller states, to overcome the
difficulties and antagonisms incident
To federalism. All the states, IRE
spectiye Of population are regarded
as equal. But the senators do not
represent the people, but the special
interests OF their respective states,
and In particular. the interests OF the
privileged In these states. Their
future depends upon their responsive
ness 10 the will OF a small section OF
the country, and in particular, the will
OF all the powerful interests In that
section
This Is wrong. and subversive OF
the welfare OF the nation. II may be
that We shall need TO adopt some 9TH
er method OF electing senators. IL
may be better 10 reduce their number
and select them from the whole coun-
/ try. like the commissioners in munich
palities which have adopted this new
| form OF government. Whatever out
ward changes may be effected In the
future, II any. the one essential point
must be gained. that the senate shall
cease 10 represent special interests,
or one class OF people. and shall work
! only for the good OF the whole people.

So from time lmmemorial people
have been in the habit Of laughing oc-
casionally when they felt more like
crying than like smiling even. This
is the story of how the world got It's
name for this mirthless laughter.
Way off in the fertile but unhealth'
full and neglected isle OF Sardinia
there grows plant that causes those
who eat 1t to laugh mirthlessly and
Historically till death comes. This
plant seems TO be something akin 10
the loco weed of the plains. (By
the way, this plant too, is responsible
for a word "locoed." which means I'm
sane" all over the west.)
The Greeks knew Of the properties
OF this strange Sandman plant. Also
they knew the art of discrimination, OF
concealing sorrow or secret purpose,
and they often laughed the laugh that
does not come from the heart. Asso-
ciating this laugh with the mirthless
laugh OF Sardinia. Homer writes OF "A
broad sardonic smile OF dread signif-
canoe"
So much for "sardonic."
Z"Sardiner comes from this same
root. Sardines are simply little her
rings that were originally taken in
great numbers off the coast Of Sar-
dina.

LONDON. Sept. 22.-The most seri-
Gus political Issue before the British
public today Is that Of the veto power
vested In the house OF lords. In a
sense II is not at the present moment
live issue. The situation Ii being
discussed in private by committee
OF four Liberals and four Conserva-
lives. AT present the situation stands
thus: The house OF lords has agreed
that II needs reformation and recon
struction, and has accepted the prin
| ciple that the possession OF a peer
age shall no longer OF itself give the
| right To sit and vote in the house OF
lords On the other hand. the house
OF commons has voted 10 restrict the
power OF the house OF lords so that
| they cannot reject or amend any mon
ely bill. As To any other bill. II IL has
passed the commons In three success
sive sessions. IL shall become law
| without the consent OF the house OF
lords on the royal assent being declar-
ed provided two years shall have
elapsed between the date OF the first
introduction or the bill and the third
passage.
Thus the lords are ready for a
| change. but the commons demand
practically the nullification OF the
lords power To veto any bill Unques-
tionably the lords have brought this
upon themselves. They have not rep
resented the will of the whole people
but snail class OF the people, the
privileged class, particularly the land
ed interests.
What the committee OF eight may
propose for the amendment OF the
house OF lords no one knows. II will
be most interesting TO Americans 10
learn In time what they suggest as the
solution OF the problem. For. although
there is no parallel TO the situation In
the United States in outward form.
still we have the same essential diff
Guilty in our federal and state govern
ments.

chamber. This. however, Is not the
