Well Done, DemocratsI

Not nince Civil war days has a ses-
sion of congress been held with re-
suits SO significant as those attending
the special sitting recently closed.
Rarely, if ever, in the country's his
tory has the national lawmaking body
started on a program of legislation so
fraught with possibilities of benefit to
the people.
More than that-never before have
the Democrats in that body worked
more in harmony and accord with true
Democratic principles than in the long;
summer sitting.
Democracy is coming into its own.
And the results will be still further
economy in national affairs and still
greater and more complete and tri-
umphant supremacy Of those princi-
pies which make for equal rights for
all, and special privileges for none.p
