The Omen CnucIssx

Speaker Clark. Leader Underwood
and other Democrats Of the house
promise that hereafter the caucuses of
that party will be open. Does this
mean a revolution that will dethrone
King Caucus? If so. it will be a fit
aftermath to the passage of the cam
paign publicity bill and the various
primary and election reform laws in
the states. There is no more reason
that a caucus should be secret than
there is that a session Of
should be secret. On important meas
ures the fate Of legislation is decided
In the caucus rather than in the for
closed doors results in actual, though
not nominal, star chamber govern
ment. This fact has long been a scan
dial in our public life, but until now
all efforts to change it have been vain.
If the majority party in the national
house Of representatives decides to
hold open caucuses, however, there is
good reason to hope that the example
will be followed in lesser bodies
throughout the land. If the people
are entitled to know what their repre-
sentatives do at all, they certainly
have the right to know what these rep
'resentatives do in deciding the fate Of
great measures in which the whole ma
ton is interested. The hour when the
press representatives are admitted
into the Democratic caucus in Wash
ington may well begin a new era in
the history Of American legislation.

Both Congressman Helgeson and
Hanna, taccording to press dispatches,
aave introduced bills to abrogate the
Canadians reciprocity pact. People
generally we're of the opinion that the
Canadians themselves had solved this
a~aomentuous question at the election
hold in September. But then, the in
PRODUCTION of those bills is a very cheap
way of getting considerable free pollti-
gal advertising for our honorable con-
gressmen-and that is all they we're
introduced for.

New Castle, Pa, 36,2SO population, is to

Rhode Island has it's first socialist as

socialist ran second for mayor of Everett

women vote, the socialists carried five
small towns. There is nothing to worry
about in these socialist gains from sea

good local government they must expect
new parties to grow up and get the
votes.

To add to the gravity of the
case. the fish porters struck this
afternoon and cut off the supply of
that edible.
On the railroads the freight
handlers have been called out and
the strike in Liverpool and Man

direction. There is no doubt that
a most serious food famine con-
fronts the city.
Women are the chief meters to
violence in the present troubles
and when police and strikers clash,
they are always found fighting like
furies in the thick of the affray.
