How many Of your readers have
written to their friends in other states

A NOTABLE SESSION OF con-
GRESS.

The session Of Congress which was
called on April 4, by the President,
for the purpose OF ratifying the re
ciprocity agreement with Canada, adj
journed this week 1T will take it,
place in the annals OF history as a
most notable and important session,
and one in which the Democrats &C
quilted themselves in such a way
a. to merit the admiration of the
whole country.
Among the important measures
which were passed beside the reci-
procity agreement was the resolution
for the admission of Arizona and
New Mexico as States, when Arizona
shall have accepted the amendment
to its constitution protecting its
judges from the recall.
The Farmers Free List bill, putting
upon the free list large number Of
necessities; the Wool bill, providing
-e- great reduction in the rates on
w9aien goods, etc, and the Cotton
t---4, 44i-ulIHg the tariff on Cotton
goods, were also passed, but received
the Presidents veto.
A bill, which was passed and sign
"a by the President, provides for The
reapportionment OF membership OF
the House according to the census Of
1910, and will mean the addition Of
AZ Congressman. The House passed
"a resolution providing for the cleo
ton OF United States Senators by di-
rect popular vote, but this bill was
changed in the Senate.
In addition to these excellent meas
ures, far-reaching campaign pub
Lefty law was passed, providing fol
the publication Of campaign contri-
buttons before election.
Our party throughout the country
~ more united than IT has been fol
years, and we feel that the prospects
for victory i'm 1912 become brighter
each day. On the ether hand 1t looks
az though the Regulars and Insur,

THE COATESvILLE OUTRAGE.

The atrocious brutality OF the
Coatesville lynching has caused a
wave ny indignant protest to sweep
through the press OF the entire coun-
try.
There Is not even as much excuse
for this last outrage al there is TOT
the lynchings which occur in the
Southern States when an Infatuated
community will rise UP against
some black criminal who has out
ragged the pure womanhood Of the
South, string him up on tree and
riddle his body with bullets.
AZ several newspapers have point
ed out, there is not another place in
the United States where such a bru-
tai defiance OF the law would have
been more unexpected than in Ches-
ter county, Pennsylvania, for the
people there seem, In the past, TO
have been exceptionally lenient to-
ward negro criminals; 80 that the
recent burning alive of Walker, and
the participation OF 20 many promi-
nent citizens of Coatesville in the
outrage, shows that our boosted
twentieth century civilization has by
no means eradicated the early saw
age instincts OF man.
A strange feature of this horrible
affair il that just at the hour when
the mob burst in the hospital where
the negro was being treated for his
self-inf1icted injuries, and dragged
him to his swift and terrible death
through the town with part OF the
cot dangling from his ankles, the
congregations were just leaving the
churches, and they are said to have
Joined the procession of law break
ers.
If the law were more speedy in
dealing out punishment to all crimi-
nails, white or black, there would GER
tainly be fewer mob atrocities; and
those persons who are responsible
for the awful work of a mob should
always b. made to pay the full pen
atty.

THE PEOPLES WAY.

The people are determined to have
their own way. This invincible re-
solve of the people to work out their
own salvation by methods chosen by
cludes all other civic facts OF the
time. 1t is the universal key which
unlocks the door of every situation.
1t is the plummet which every politi-
cal pilot must use, who honestly
wishes to fathom the minds OF his
fellow-men, and guide the ship of
party Alright. Tit il the magnetic
needle which must be pivoted be-
meath the compass-glass of every pol
itical organization that wants to
know which way is North.
1t ID truth whose forms OF express
sion are many because it's scope is
wide a. a nation OF ninety million
people. Direct Primaries, Direct
Election Of Senators, the safeguard
ing of elections by Publicity, Limita-
ton Of Campaign Expenses, with its
elimination OF unfair advantages OF
the wealthy candidate, or the candi-
date backed by rich and powerful in
terests, over the poor candidate, are
all conspicuous examples of the det-
ermination OF the people to assert the
the sovereignty reposed in them by
the Constitution.
The central principle underlying all
these phases of a universal move
ment, il transfer OF government, and
of the party organization which is
the material out Oh which govern
ment is made, from the hands of the
few to the hands Of tine many lit ii
reclamation, a reaffirmation, a re
covery and putting in practice, of
the Democracy on which all Ameri-
can institutions are founded. Its OBJ
iect ID to enable the people to act
for themselves in all matters where
in immediate action by them il posi-
Bile, and where it is not, to secure
genuine representation of the people
instead of the oIigarchy OF machines.
The favorite plea of those who are
hostile to the people reserving for
themselves the rights inherent in
them, is that such popular control
means disruption or party organize
ton. On the contrary, it means a
stronger party organization because,
being composed Of the people, denial
OF the organization would be repud-
iation OF its members by themselves
ample the Direct Primary. 1T IL no
more a novelty-it has long been an
established institution i'm many
States. In all the history OF the Di-
rect Primary, never has party cohe-
sion or discipline been disrupted by
it. Whatever discontinue it has
caused, was discontinue of personal
ambition-of the greed OF individuals
for power Party regularity, and
party consistency, have been main
tanned and strengthened. Party eff
fectiveness has been uniformly in-
creased by transference OF the means
of party direction to the people Sc

CONGRESS ADJOURNS
FOR HOLIDAY RECESS
Many Members and Families will
Remain Washington For
Social Functions

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. Iii
p0th houses Of Congress adjourned
today for the customary holiday re-
cess. Some of the members living
in nearby States will return home
to spend Christmas, but the big ma
jority Of the senators and represen-
tatives will remain in the capital.
OF late years the holiday season has
become period of great social bril-
lance in Washington and as a con-
;eauence very few of those promi-
nent in public life, to say nothing of
their wives and daughters, care to
leave the city at this time. Then,
too, the abolition of railroad passes
has been a potent influence in chang
ing the old habit of the members of
Congress in making frequent trips
to and from their homes.

''Let People Say
Seems Popular

GO farther; let it be put to vote
of the people,
That was one of the many forms in
which expression commencing the
citizens forum proposal was voiced
yesterday. This suggestion of pop
ular vote was coupled with the ad-
ded remark that "the tax payers and
voters have now had three years
experience with the Staunton plan
and so far no opportunity has arisen
for them to talk on the subject at
the ballot"
Opinion as to the desirable scope
of a public discussion meeting was
varied yesterday. A prominent
county official believed that the most
in result would come from a session
of representative citizens chosen by
specific invitation to meet with the
members of the Board of Aldermen
and the Common Council, while one
of the most active members of the
joint committee whose recommended
tion of the general manager appoint
ment is now awaited used the phrase
"mass meeting" with favor.
Mention of desire for expression by
the Chamber of Commerce and kin
dred bodies was CONSPICUOUS among
suggestions uttered.
Whatever may be the scope devel-
oped by the movement to inject some
new and crystalizing element into
the situation, community in feeling,
amity and consideration for mutual
interests is the spirit in which it
is desired the discussion should be
conducted.

want it to be big enough to carry
