October. AS it now stands, the
Congress which is repudiated has
four months in which to legislate.
The members have lost Office, and
do not have the interests of the
nation at heart. It's our theory
that t e voice of the people shall
rule, and | believe that it would
be a good thing for the United
States if we could adopt the plan
in use there, in which the party in
power resigns as soon as its policy
is repudiated by the people. An
other good feature Of the English
government is that the members
of the Cabinet are members of the
legislative body. The members of
the Cabinet at any time may be
brought into the mouse TO answer
questions relative to their depart
ments. Here, it is impossible TO
cross examine a cabinet officer.
If you ask him a question, be
