Congress that the situation has changed
since the iron days of the late Speaker

declaring that its tactics were diiatory.
The Showing of What May Be Done.
But there has been just fine ocular
demonstration of what can be done by
way of obstructive tactics from the floor.
AS the concrete saying goes at the Capt.

can tie up the House of Representa-
tives almost any day and keep it from
enacting the public business. A Repub-

Democratic House, has been trying his
hand at that sort of job. 1t is sur
p1usage to add that he will keep his
hand in when Champ Clark takes up
the gavel and the Democrats. rule over
the popular legislative branch. 1t
means lot of plain. oldfashioned
trouble in the Congressional days that
are yet to be.
Asher Kinds is adding to the pile of
fOolscap sheets on his mahogany desk
in the corner OF the Speakers room,
where conspicuous object is the row
of six or eight big volumes of "Hinds's
Rules and Practices of the House."
That mammoth work rolled off the
presses about year ago. and the House
parliamentarian wanted to write ''finiS"
over his great effort of years.
But the habit of completeness was
so strong upon him that he kept col

He prided himself on the analysis and
of precedents and rulings
brought into play during the great mid
March revolution. Now he has more
in the same line, because of the notable
Mann filibuster. Kinds can be counted
upon to get these parliamentary It'd
bits all together. 1t is quite unlikely
that Congress will allow these to remain
in manuscript form. There will be
published by authority of the House a
supplemental volume that all men,

Attacking the Old Soldier.
(From the Oklahoma City Times. }

Aided and abetted by some news
fierce attacks are being made on the
civil war veterans by a magazine pub
lished in New York. The ground for
the attacks seems to be that the old
soldiers occasionally get pensions, or
that their pensions are increased from
time to time when they should not be-
Presumably, the magazine and the
newspapers viii claim they are working
in the interest of the country in trying
issue with them appears to be based on
the CLAIM that some of the pensions are
fraudulently obtained.
The men who are now drawing the
pensions made the Government a per-
manent institution, at any rate. The at
lacks that are being made on them will
not harm them. They are old men now,
and they are dying at the rate of a hun
dred day, but the country they served
so well will stand by them to the end.
The provision that has been made for
them in the way of pensions and Sol
diers' Homes are but simple acts of JUS
tice, in thousands of instances coming
too late to benefit the veterans.
All these efforts to injure the old SOL
diers will amount to nothing All along
there have been a few who have talked
against the veterans. During the war
some of those at home were against
them, but they fought the country's bat
ties bravely and unfiinchingIy and es-
tablished Union. Then. with liberty's
cause more firmly established than it
had ever been before in the worlds his

pursuits of peace-broken in health,

independence of The individual Repre-
sentative, and in that regard is bring
ing back the wholesome conditions of
earlier times. when the individual Rep
resentative found inspiration to effort
and industry because of the opportun-
tiles for gaining distinction of service.
Those opportunities were sacrificed to
the other advantages of the time in
establishing one-mau rule over the
House. No longer does the protestant
in the House complain of one-man rule.
1t has passed.
The one-man rule there hereafter is
likely to take shape in the domination
of men who master the rules and thus
become acquainted with their rights.
1t need not necessarily be power to tie
up the House by obstructive tactics.
With the new independence of action,
there is an incentive TO work out legis-
lative problems and to get measures
considered. The Speaker no longer has
despotic power to prevent consideration.
Representatives are aware of the new
conditions That is why they are thumb

One OF the most pathetic incidents of
the Department Convention lust closed

The funeral of Comrade Maynard was

A splendid tribute to the enlisted

accompanied by several members of

to attend the funeral. Col. Vernon paid
eloquent tribute to the soldierly quail

Comrade Maynard's last request just
before leaving the city was half

health. Letters to friends in this city
from Cart Maynard, written three days
after his arrival Their. and just few
hours previous to his DEATH. were full
of happy anticipation of n delightful
month among his comrades in the vet

was a delightful one in Il corner of the

panied his letters with photographs of
the hotel showing the Flag. He said
that II was "A delightful place to be.
