THE TWO HOUSES.
Once elected, both Senators and Repre-.
sentatives are the sole judges of their
political actions; neither the legislatures
nor the people of their states have any
right to control them. II their actions
are distasteful to the people who elected
them. they can only be defeated for re.
election. Any act of the Legislature "di.
recting" it's Senators or requesting its
Representatives to do this or that Is ab-
solutely ineffective legally and may be
disregarded, though such action, OF
course has great Influence on those to
whom it is addressed.

Vacancies in the House Of Representa-
tives must be filed by elections WHICH,
II need be, must be specially called; the
Governor has no power to fill them even
temporarily.
Representatives are ordinarily chosen
from districts" There Is nothing III the
Constitution to compel this, however
Representatives can be. and not infre-
ouently are. chosen on a general ticket

case they are said TO be chosen 'at large
The general plan, however, is to elect
by districts. These districts are laid out
by the legislatures and can be changed
by them in accordance with the state
constitutions. with scarcely an exception
legislatures attempt 70 secure more OF
less partisan advantage in making these
districts Sections of the state that nor
mally vote for the party not in control
are. so far as may be. thrown together
into one district or few districts instead
of being allowed TO imperil the dornl-
nance Of the party in power by being
scattered through all the districts. For
instance. the partisan Legislature OF a
state having a population about equally
divided politically will often carve out
one district that will include the majority
Of the voters Of the opposition party, thus
insuring to its own party the practical
control of all the other districts. This
process is called "gerrymandering" from
Governor Gerry Of Massachusetts. who
invented it. II il Is carried TO too gross
and palpaile an extreme the courts are
likely TO annul the law as being in viola
ton of the state constitutions.
AGES.
Representatives must be at least TWEEN
ty-iye years of age. They must reside
in the states, though not necessarily in
the districts. from which they are chosen.
They need not be voters, however.
The House Of Representatives is not a
continuing body like the Senate. 1t goes
out OF existence every two years on
March and remains out of existence till
the members-elect meet and reorganize
Ordinarily in odd years there is no House
OF Representatives at all between March
and the first Monday in December; the
the House as a whole is not.
The clerk of the House, an elective Off.
Ger. is the sole bond between one house
and another. He il is who takes the
chair and calls the roll at the meeting

ELEANOR BYRNs REPLIES.

Miss Eleanor Byrns, press chairman TOT
the National Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton. and Miss Helen Rannett, another
lawyer, spent last week at the Law LIB
rary listing the good laws that have been
passed in the suffrage states-passed since
the women voted.
"Of course" she said yesterday, we
can't present absolute proof that the re-
form measures passed in California for
example, this year, after woman got the
vote, were the result of her having the
vote. We're not omnipotent enough to
know whether things would have been
the same had they been otherwise. But II
does seem a--well, at least coincidence
that Immediately after California women
were enfranchised California got an equal
guardianship act, a bastardy act, mini
mum wage act, an act limiting the hours
of labor for women. an excellent act
regulating and limiting the employment
of children, an act raising the age Of con-
sent to eighteen years, an act making the
punishment for the crime of rape more
severe, an act establishing state train
ing school for delinquent girls, an act
establishing a civic centre in each school
house in the state an act providing for
the control Of houses of prostitution, and
several other worthy measures. Maybe
California women were inert until this
wear, and then suddenly woke up and ex-
erted their indirect influence. But it does
seem a coincidence, happening the first
wear women vote out there.

DIRECT AND INDIRECT INFLUENc

"Of course, mixed up with our desire LOT
an equal standing with men at the baHot
box on the ground of pure justice there
is almost always the desire to improve
conditions And we believe that we can
accomplish more with both direct and IN
direct influence than with indirect infu-
ence alone. We want direct political
power-power to oblige the legislators and
executive officers of this government 10
consider the desires of women.
Indirect influence is good thing, too,
but why should we women claim
monopoly of il? Think of the admirable
men who serve on reform boards ana
committees of inquiry and like bodies. Is
II quite fair TO say of all these that they
cannot be non-partisan, that they are
chained by party affiliations?
Indirect influence isn't a feminine pos
session, but it's limited possession. Only
a few women have enough to count. we
want to secure 10 every woman the
poorest, the least influential, the right
TO say at the polls what laws she wants
her children TO live under. The anti-suf-
fragists offer her instead the privilege OF
talking on public matters TO the men ana
women she meets Let her talk; but
how would putting piece Of paper in
box once a year or so interfere with her
usefulness as a talker? Every man VINO
votes isn't in the turmoil Of political ma
chinery.' We all know plenty who vote
and 90 about their own business, quite
innocent Of any political axe to grind

QUALIFICATIONS.

QUALIFICATIONS.
Each house is the sole judge Of the
qualifications of its members. A major
ity can decide for or against the admis-
sion Of a member; once in, however, 1t
takes two-thirds vote TO expel him.
The House decided, in the case OF Mr..
Roberts, of Utah, that IL had power to
declare by a majority vote that an ap-
parently duly admitted member was not
really a member at all, because, being q
polygamist. he had never been qualified
to become such.
Senators and Representatives are paid
for their services. differing In this respect
from the British House OF Commons.
The trainers of the Constitution wanted
TO make 1t possible for a poor man TO be
in Congress. Congress sets the salary OF
its members NOW $3.50, but public opin-
ion would condemn any body Of legis-
lators who increased their own stipend.
although they might very properly pass
an act TO operate after the expiration Of
the term for which they were elected.
While attending sessions members Of
Congress are exempt from arrest for all
causes except felony, treason or breach
OF peace. They are not responsible to any
one outside of their own House for any,
thing they may say III that House. These
exceptions are absolutely necessary to
make sure that a state shall not be de-
prived of its members and 10 make sure
that these members shall have freedom OF
speech.
No person holding any Office under the
United States may be a member IF either
House during his continuance in Office.
nor may any Senator or Representative
be appointed during the term for which
he was elected TO any civil Office under
the United States which was created or
the pay OF which was increased during
his term. When an officeholder is elected
TO Congress he may hold the office until
ne is ready TO take his seat. when he must
resign. A state officer may, however. be
also Senator or a Representative: Sem
ator ID. b. Hill was Governor of New York
and Senator at the same time. The re-
strictions as TO pay was intended 20 pre-
vent congressman from creating over
paid offices which they themselves might
hope TO fill. The restriction. however. is
only partial, as a Congressman could
take such an office after the end Of his
term. Under this clause Mr.. Knox, OF
Pennsylvania, would have been prevented
from accepting the office OF Secretary Of
State, the salary OF which had been in
creased while he was in the Senate until
the close Of his term On ls1D. Congress,
however, repealed the law authorizing the
increase so far as IT concerned the De-
partment OF State-an action which was
construed as permitting Mr.. Knox to take
the post in 1909
