WING OF DEMOCRACY
WILL HAVE MAJORITY

A political statistician figures out
that, when the Sixty-Third Congress
assemblies in extra session, Northern
Democrats will have, for the first
time since the Civil War, a majority in
the Democratic membership of the
House. The lineup of the Democratic
members sectionally will be; North
ern States, 1853; Southern States, 140.
By States, the representation follows;
Northern States-Californi 8, Colo
RADIO 4, Connecticut 5, Delaware /, IL
linois 81, Indiana 10, Iowa 3, Kansas
5, Maine l, Massachusetts Z, Michigan

lSO u iNOt III SdI w. OhlduOiIld >,
South Carolina Z, Tennessee 8, Texas
IS, Virginia 8, West Virginia 2. Total,
140.
The argument might be offered that
Arizona, New Mexico and West Vir-
ginia are not Southern States. If that
holds, the representation of the South
ern States would be less.
In the present House, most of the
committee chairmanslfips are held by
Southern Democrats. In fact there
are only two committees of conse-
quence held by Northern Democrats.
Appropriations, headed by Represen-
tative Fitzgerald, of New York, and
Foreign Affairs, headed by Represen-
tative Sulzer, of New York. 1t is ex-
pected that a Southern Democrat will
succeed Mr.. Sulzer in the next House
as chairman of the committe on
Foreign Affairs.

GOV. H0GG HAS BEEN INDICATED

Twenty years ago Texas was torn
asunder by a hot fight over the cleo
ton of Governor James Hogg, who
was denounced as a radical reyolu-
zionist because he dared to insist that
the railroads ought to be regulated by
the state, and that they had no right
to issue stock or bonds except for
money received.
He won on the first count, and es-
tablished the first really effective reg
ulative railroad commission in the
country. The Interstate Commerce
commission has spent much of its
time catching up with the Texas body,
and with others which followed it in
point of time and sometimes went
ahead of it in progress.
But on the second detail, to prevent
the railroads from watering their
stock, he lost. Only few years ago
the first law regulating the issue of
railroad stocks was passed IN the state
of Texas, and today only a few
of the more advanced states, like
Wisconsin and Washington, insist up
on the physical valuation of railroads,
and restrict the issuance of stock to
value received. Public sentiment,
however. is daily growing stronger
on this point; and the National As
sociation of Railway Commissioners,
just adjourned In Washington, passed
a resolution recommending this very
regulation of railway stocks, so as to
prevent stock-watering, which 20
years ago the entire country hooted,
when advocated by Hogg of Texas.

is PARTY COMMITTED TO ONE
TERM?

Considerable dispute is going on
whether the Democratic platform
adopted at Baltimore favored only
one term of four years for President,
CT whether it meant to bind the party
10 constitutional change providing
tor single term of six years, as has
often been proposed.
The Wilmington Star doesn't think
it makes much difference All such
questions ought, it holds, ought to be
referred to the Democracy by states
before a convention is held. There
has been no concensus of opinion
among Democrats as to single term of
four years, and it ought never TO
have been made a party declaration at
time when there could be no discus
sion of its wisdom.
Some parts of platform are made
by one or two men, and joker is Ii
able TO be slipped in at time when
convention is in hubbub. Platforms
ought to be submitted in time for
thorough discussion if they are wanted
to be taken seriously by the people.

This one thing l do, forgetting
those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those
which are before, l press toward
the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus
Philippians. ill, 1914.
For the prize that is worth the WIN
ming,
For the golden and beautiful goal,
1T in worth all the striving and dream
ing,
The hunger and thirst of the soul.
AND there's nothing III life worth nav
ing,
Nor doing, that is not high
With the touch of a spiritual passion
At the urge of spiritual cry.
On. that light on the face OF the
dreamers,
How it tells of the vision divine
That lead them from wales of the
shadow
To the heights where the sunbeams
shine!
And it costs no more of life's toiling
To aim for the high as the low,
And it helps so to feel in the spirit
Tze burning and beautiful glow!
Was yesterday sorry with failure,
And dreary with hopes gone astray
There's q light ON the hills of tomor-
row,
And life can begin with today!
The prize of the spiritual calling
Is ahead of us, never behind,
In the hope and the promise and feel
ing
OF the wedding of heart unto mind.
We sneer at the men of ideals,
And we smile at the things that they
dream;
But theirs is the prize of high calling
T'ward the path of the beautiful
CLEAN.
They are the men who keep growing,
Who cannot stand still in content
While the broad and beneficent pur-
pose
Keeps them keyed to the higher in
tent.

In this struggle with things so
small,
While the great things glow in the
battle
And their banners are over the
wall
If we give life. let us give wholly
And striving, why not for the
height
OF the high and the beautiful calling
And the mark of the glorified light!
i ct the dreamer be met with the doer,
And the races be won to the truth,
That the march of the ages is forward,
That the spirit Of living is youth;
That the highest is ever before us,
And It's worth all the rest to be
sure
OF the goal that is based on the gran
lite
OF the things that survive and
endure.

~ and doing them life seems to
d consist of planning to go some
D where and going. Most men
are seeking happiness, and an
ticipation is said to be the climax of
happiness in most cases. However
that may be, going somewhere and
getting ready for the journey is the
means of happiness for most persons.
To have no place to go is tragedy.
Lightships dc not go anywhere.
They stay in one spot, day in and day
out, month in and month out, year in
and year out, save when the tide or
the wind forces them to swing around
their shackles and instead of pointing
east their stubbed prows point north
or south, or southwest-by-west, as the
case may be. They bob up and down
In the seaway, and if it is choppy they
house men describe them. The Scot
land lightship makes a double pitch in
seven seconds. To be forced to watch
the steamships sailing past, within
hailing distance, on their way to all
parts of the world, or gliding in from
the sea with their burdens of Ameri-
cans, homeward bound and joyful in
the realization OF the fact that they
will soon see their friends, and immi-
grants seeking and expecting to find
that which should make the circum-
stances of life more satisfactory, is
like placing a Barmecide feast before
mariner who has been floating in an
open boat without food for a week.
