was born she could not, leave it and
for this reason she was allowed to
remain out of prison until this year.

Housing Our Diplomats.

There has been much controversy about
the matter Of housing our diplomatic
and consnlar representatives abroad, on
which the House took action the other
day. Our foreign service has all along
been a necessity, and in the main been
well rendered. And yet in the higher
grades we have imposed money hardships
on the occupants OF the places They
have been poorly paid. and IL well housed
the credit has been theirs. Often they
have paid out their own coin in order to
meet appropriately the obligations they
found resting on them.
This should long since have been
changed. We should have had our own
establishments to which to send our rem
resentatives, and at the same time paid
them according to the importance of their
duties.
Now that a decision has been reached
TO remedy the matter we should go to
the bottom of the difficulty. What is
done should be we'll DONE The houses
erected should be in keeping with the
requirements. and the salaries paid suf-
fcient to attract and secure the most
competent men. 1t is nobody's desire, Of
course, that Uncle Sam ..cut a spIurse, ;,
and acquire the reputation at any cap
ital OF being the dude of the row." But
At every capital the old chap should

A great deal-and much of it uncom-
plimentary-has been said about our mil.
iionaire diplomacy. Why not turn the
thing around? Why not thank the men
OF large means who in this business have
put their purses AT the country's service,
and footed heavy bills that everything
should be properly attended to- Not in
every case has a large purse alone ex-

He is an inward toiler, for he works with

His brow is often furrcwed with the lines
OF deepest care.
Don't blame him If he views the world

His mind is far away from common folks

He's thinking up the various things that
Congress ought to do.
You've no idea what a broad expanse of
intellect

With the wisdom OF the ancients and the

To modern institutions. He's in earnest

order, not only will the pact with Canada
become operative, but the policy of reci-

time to speak The President needs as
sistance, and is asking for it.
1t has been the custom from the be-
ginning for our officials, high and low,
to give an account. by letter or speech,
or state paper, Of their stewardships.
After making record they have asked
judgment on 1t, either in the interest of
a renewal of their commissions, or to
carry with them into private life the high
satisfaction Of popular Endorsement of
official conduct.
The Presidents course is an improve
ment upon this. He announces a policy,
and asks Judgment upon it in the max
ing. He wants the people to help. He
states the case from his point of view,
and invites discussion in time for effect
upon Congress. He is the representa-
tive Of the people in their. highest place,
and as such makes recommendations In
the national behalf.
He is certain Of attention. In the first
place great respect attaches to his Of

that of recording their votes. 1t is a
question whether good results flow
from tho continual lesscning of each
members sense of responsibility. AS
the membership increases the commit
tees grow in size and the proportionate
part OF each legislator diminishes even
in this subdivision Of labor. The
House becomes an organization OF
committee chairmen, las far as practi-
cal results go.
1t will be interesting to note the
effect upon party lines OF the addition
of over forty members to the House,
nearly half the size Of the Senate it
self. It has been often predicted that
with the increase in the membership
would come a tendency toward FAC
tionalism and the splitting UP of
parties into small groups. The Ger
man reichstag in which control is ac-
quired only through the organtza ton
of bloc of small parties, consists
of 397 members, approximately the size
of the present House of Representa-
tiyes The French chamber of deputies,
in which the same conditions prevail,
consists of ISL members. Similar con-
ditions obtain in both the Austrian
lower house, or Observation-Disclosures, ana
the Hungarian house of representa-
tives. or kepviselohaz, the former con-
sistinS of J16 and the latter of 4'o
members. In the British house OF conf
mons consisting of GO members, con-
troll is at present held by coalition
of liberals. laborites and Irish nation
alists. 1t is perhaps significant in TINS
connection that the decision of the
House to increase it's membership was
reached by IL combination of republican
and democratic votes against the vote
of the regular party supporting the ac-
ton of the caucus.

Just fifty years after Abraham Lincoln
reached Washington to assume the reins

martyrdon, Congress has taken practical
steps to erect some sort of memorial.
This has long been felt incumbent on the
nation. but various considerations have
interfered to prevent its accomplishment.
Senator Cullom has spent years in agita-
ton, which has become effective to this
extent. that commission will decide
upon the exact form the memorial is to
take, and then Congress may be expected
to do the rest. From now on we may an

The Enlarged House.

The decision of the House of Rep.
resentatives to expand its membership
from sol to 4S3, in reversal of the ac-
ton OF the republican caucus. which
favored the retention OF the present

political considerations. 1t has its dis
qnieting aspect, for it suggests that il
will be difficult III the future to pre-
vent the same factors from inducing
similar increases when occasions arise

of the popular branch Of Congress in
