Mo0ERlzlNG THE CONSTITUTION.

More than all this, under the pres
ent method, the so-called short ses-
sion is nothing but a governmental
monstrosity, and makes little more
than farce of the enactment of many
measures of legislation. In the first
place the Congress of each short SEES
sion" is made up of many members,
frequently as high as a hundred or
more in the House, who have been re-
tired for one cause of another at the
preceding November election. Yet
they continue to legislate, many of
them after their CONTINGENCIES have re-
fused to endorse them by reelection.
Often a party in power is defeated at
the general election, yet for three
months it continues to hold the reins
and to enact legislation. Such was
never the purpose of the trainers of
the Constitution, but rather it was
the intent that the members of the
House of Representatives should come
fresh from the people and be respon-
sive to their demands Human ma
ture does not always accord to a man
the same degree of efficiency or the
same regard for public duty after he
has been defeated for reelection that
it does before his defeat.-Norman

Combining Against Wilson.

The article in the Wisconsin State
Journal, unfolding the plan to unite
the anti-Wilson forces in Wisconsin
says among other things:
1T will be Clark and Harmon against
Wilson in Wisconsin for the Demo.
cratic presidential nomination. This
means that there probably will be no
Harmon ticket in the field in this state.
that Harmon's name will not appear
on the presidential preference ballot
at the spring election and his support
OF Harmon will be asked in the name
of Speaker Clark. Rumors to this eff.
feet have been in circulation for some
time and received practical confirma-
ton today from VIM. F. Pierstorff. of
Middleton, who has been selected nv
the Clark boomers at Milwaukee as a
delegate at large to the National Con
vention at Baltimore.
Called by telephone at his office in
Middleton this morning Mr. Pierstorf
said: Yes, I have consented to act
as delegate if elected. | was tele-
phoned from Milwaukee asking if !
would consent to serve and agreed to
do so. I was told that there was an
understanding between the supporters
of Clark and Harmon that whichever
one of those two receives the larger
vote shall get the support of the 9th
er's friends With that understanding
agreed to become a candidate for
delegate.
Apparently the purpose is to unite
anti-Wilson forces in the state and de-
feat Wilson in Wisconsin, if possible.
The same kind of fusion will probably
be tried in the half dozen other states
having a Presidential preference cleo
ton this spring Then when the time
of the national convention comes the
delegation for Clark and Harmon can be
swung as may seem most expedient.
The following selections for delegates
at large have been announced from
he Clark headquarters in Milwaukee:
lanes w. Murphy, of Platteville; Geo
W. Peck, Milwaukee; w. F. Pierstorff,
'f Middleton, and John NJ. Callahan, of
Milwaukee. Former Congressman

true that his managers are seeking
alliance with the Harmon forces
wherever necessary to defeat the Will
son supporters they should be remind
ed Of the risk they run. The line be-
tween the progressive and the stand

formerly held by Hon. William H.
Lewis, who was appointed by Presi-
dent Taft as Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Of the United States, and some
credit for the appointment of Mr.
Matthews must be given 10 Mr.. Lewis,

Wickersham that it would be the prop
err thing to do. Mr. Matthews is a

famous baseball player at Andover,

played baseball at Harvard and was

Under the heading, Interesting
People," one of our daily contempo-
raries tells a story that is a complete
REPUTATION of several allegations of the
shortcomings of the Afro-American,
viz:
James Elliott, an Afro-American, be-
lieved by his relatives to have been
about 101 years old, died a short time
ago at his home in Binghamton, N Y.
He was a slave on a plantation near
Dundee, N. c., when the Civil war
broke out. He escaped by the "un-
derground railroad" and made his
way to Great Bend, Is miles east Of
Binghamton, which was the nearest
station on the route to Canada at that
time. He did not attempt to go far
Their. He soon began to acquire
property. At the age Of so years he
began to learn to read and write and
became a lover of good books. He
amassed considerable fortune, which
was invested mostly in real estate
AS a matter of fact, there is very
little, if any, difference between the
Afro-Americans and whites, except in
the matter of opportunity given to the
Afro-Americans when it comes to the
making good by the latter. Give
the Afro-American a fair, equal
chance and he will show that he Is
made out Of the very same stuff that
all other men are made of.

A freight car, containing 8,61O Bi

The Bibles are being distributed by
the Gideons, who two years ago start.
ed to place a Bible in every hotel
room in the United States. Within
the last year they have placed $4,000
Bibles in hotels in California. It is
to be hoped that the seed thus sown
will bring a lot of the self-asserted
superior race" to the knowledge of
the fact that: "Of one blood God
made all the nations of the earth;
that: God is no respecter of per-
