the Status of Ministers in
Army and Navy.

WILMINGTON DEL October 25.-Dis-
cussion of the status of a chaplain In the

portion of the meeting yesterday after

The matter came up after Rev. Dr.
George Robinson of Washington. naval
chaplain, had opened the proceedings
with n PRAYER He was asked by some
of the delegates whether the chaplain,
being an officer, did not necessarily hold
himself aloof from the enlisted men and
thereby deprive them of spiritual and
general advice.
Dr. Robinson replied thai. while the
chaplain as an officer was not on parity
with the men, he was looked upon by the
latter as being one OF them
This has often been demonstrated.

course. it is known long in advance
elect its officers, and the nominations
made by the other party are merely
perfunctory.
When the House convenes it is called to
order by the clerk of the preceding
House. and no other business Is in order
until a Speaker is elected. Once the
clerk acted as presiding officer from the
first of December to nearly the middle
of February. while the House could DO
nothing but ballot for Speaker. none of
the political factions in the House being
able to muster a majority for it's candi-
date for the speakership. When the
clerk of the former House calls the new
one to order the chairman of the party
caucuses nominate the caucus candidates
for the Speakership and ballot is taken
to determine which shall be chosen. Of
course, the candidate of the party which
has a majority in the House wins. A
of his election and to escort him to the
Speakers chair. Amid loud and long
applause the click Of dozens Of
cameras. he accepts the gavel from the
clerk and in few words thanks the
members and pledges himself to fulfill
the duties of Speaker After this the
caucus chairmen bring in their respective
resolutions naming the minor elective OF
fioers of the House. and. of course the
resolution of the majority party is adopt
ed. The House Is then organized.
The next step after the House has
chosen its staff of officials is that of hold
ing the great biennial lottery to determine
the choice of seats in the House for the
Congress then beginning. When new
Congress comes into being all of its men,
bers are supposed to be equal and no
member is entitled to advantage over
others in the choice of seats. The names
Of all the members of the House are ar
ranged alphabetically and numbered &C
cording to their position on the list. Then
a small page is blindfolded and told to
draw ball out Of box. There are. ex-
actly as many balls as there are members
of the House, and each ball contains
number corresponding to that of mem
Der An official shakes the box and the
boy draws out a ball and hands it to
this off ial. He reads the number on 1T

list and the ball bears the number 30.
Mr.. Smith gets first choice of seat. This
is continued all the way down through
the list. Before the drawing begins the
entire floor of the House is cleared. the
members retiring to the area behind the
railing. and going forward in the order
their names are called by the officers con-
Quoting the drawing. It is usual to eX-
empt former Speakers Of the House, rev
of the oldest members and the chairmen
of the committees on ways and means.
rules and appropriations. all of these be-
ing permitted to select their seats before
the drawing begins. The only limitation
upon the choice of the seats is that the
republicans take one side of the center
aisle and the democrats the other.
The next question which comes up is
that of code of rules for the regula-
ton of the procedure of the House dur
ing the life Of the Congress then begin
ming it's career. Each of the two parties
offers a code of rules usually that 1t has
adopted in caucus. For more than
generation after the civil war these rules
pla cling the power of the House more and
more in the hands of the Speaker and
giving greater and greater sting to the
lash of the party whip. 1t was always
favorte assertion of former Speaker can
non, the last OF the line of republican
Speakers who reigned in the House from
1895 to 1911. that the Speaker was the
creature of the House. and that 1t could
put him out of his position any hour it
chose to do so. Yet he always knew his
party associates would put up with al
most any kind of application Of the party
lash rather than dethrone him. The
oretically he was absolutely right; prac-
tically he was wholly wrong.
After the adoption of the rules-and 1t
is always made possible to suspend them
when political or other exigencies require
1.-THE next question is the selection OF
the committees Of the House. For CEN
fury it was the custom for the Speaker
to name all of the members Of the vari-
Gus committees. In late years he usually
consulted the minority leader as to the
personnel of the minority members OF
the committees. but this was an unof1ctal
act of grace. When the democrats came
into power in the Sixty-second Congress
they decided that the power to appoint
committees should be taken from the
Speaker and that all standing committees
should be elected by the House. The
democrats selected majority members OF
the ways and means committee in caucus
and then made them a committee on COM
mittees for the purpose Of nominating
members of the standing committees.

Far Western woman dresses with
as much taste and as winsomcly as

entertaining and witty. She has
all the better ones of those quail
tiles which are commonly spoken
of as breezy. She discusses pol
itics, part of every Westerner s
religion. She knows the vital
themes of the day-and this with
out apparent neglect of children
o. family responsibilities. She
has inherited the spirit of her
pioneer ancestors, character
building race that had the saving
grace of humor. The culture of
the average Western home has
not infrequently surprised the
guest from Philadelphia or Bos-
ton-not in Denver, Portland, or

to find finish, but in Cheyenne,
Fargo, and Helena. The cow
boy conquered the Indian; the
school-teacher has conquered the
