President elect Wilson Is represented
as being In favor Of breaking into the
time established usage whereby the
dominant parties organize house and
senate so largely on the basis Of senior
ity of Service. For instance, Repub-
lican house gives preference in COM
mittee appointments to the older Re-
publican members, and the senate does
likewise, except in the case Of the SEN
ate It Is more like a fixed law that the
men who have been members Of that
body longest should monopolize all po-
sitions. While there is good deal t.
recommend this idea in practice, II
does not appeal to the country at large
for various reasons that seem good ano
sufficient. For instance take the pres
ent situation. The president comes
fresh from the people as the exponent
of new and advanced ideas along vari-
Gus lines. He Is distinctively Pro-
gressive with all that that means. The
policy and conduct Of both house and
senate are determined almost entirely
by the 4ersonnel Of officers, chairmen
of committees and the like. These
chairmen number many men who have
been in congress SO long as to become
far removed from all idea Of popular
authority. They feel as If they are
there really as masters instead Of SER
wants, and it Is their business to COM
mand rather than obey. Many Of these
men have long since ceased to regard
the people as other than to be goverasa
and not feyr .of<liiem nave become SO
conservative that they cannot be
brought to realize that change Is
proper, even when unanimously de-
manded. Although Mr. Wilson is the
choice Of the American people, selected
because of what he stands for-the
Progressive. principles he processes
there are right now, in the house and
senate, old, experienced politicians who
honestly and earnestly regard as a
great joke, the idea that Mr.. Wilson
should assume to think he can do any
thing that they do not want done. They
look upon him as a newcomer, an up
start, kind of an intruder Of yester-
day who would require years to get
into their class. And as a matter OF
fact their attitude is not so absurd as
might appear. because their long ser
vice and experience gives them pow
er that Is not to be regarded lightly. 1t
is this condition Of affairs that Mr..
Wilson and his friends are protesting
against, and which 1t Is understood
they will fight. But what the outcome
will be, Is only q guess. Other presi-
dents have run upon the same thing
and been downed, and 1t may be Mr..
Wilson will meet the same fate; but
we hope not If 1t Is to be assumed
that If from the day of their entrance In
the senate, senators begin to- devote
themselves heartily and earnestly to
the welfare of the country, and keep 1t
up all their lives, then there is no rea-
son to attack the stronghold Of power
and prestige they have built up; but
If this power and prestige Is used for
their own aggrandisement instead of
for the general welfare of the public. 1t
should be pulled down. However. we
will see what we will see.

Of these facts Is that of the large num-
Der of convicts who have been turned
loose on their good behavior. this is
the first case Of violation of parole.
Another of these facts Is one that all
fairly well-informed people understood
all the while, that although the govern
or has been very generous with his
power to parole. he does not propose to
tolerate any abuse of that generosity.
Of course no one will undertake to ar
que that this single exception proves
the falacy of the whole parole theory.
On the contrary 1t is of rather more
significance in emphasizing to the pa
rolled convicts, and to the public gener-
ally that the good behavior condition
of the paroles must not be violated.

A Remedy That Has Shown
a Most Remarkable
Purifying Effect.

The word medicine Is one of the most
abused in our language. There are GER
tain medicinal properties just as neces-
sary to health as the food we eat. Take,
for example, the well-known tonic medi-
cine S. S. S. This famous blood purifier
contains medicinal components Just as
vital and essential to healthy blood as
the elements Of wheat, roast beef, the
fats and the sugars that make up our
daily ration.
AS matter of fact, there Is one in
gredient in S. S. S. which serves the
active purpose of stimulating each cell
lular part of the body to the healthy
and judicious selection Of its own essen
tial nutriment. That is why It regener.
ates the blood supply; why It has such
tremendous influence in overcoming &c.

fictions.
