REPRESENTATIVE FEARS
UNRESTRAINED WEALTH
Thomas u. Sisson Makes Address Be-
fore Cleveland Park School and
Community Association.

"Unrestrained acquisition of wealth in
the United States is rapidly obliterating
the middle class and will lead to the
breakdown of our present form of gov
ernment." said Representative Thomas
u. Sisson of Mississippi last night in an
address before the Cleveland Park School
and Community Association
This country has many men of great
intellect who are accommodating vast
wealth. There also is class, who un-
fortunately are not endowed with enough
thinking power to raise themselves above
the ordinary walks OF life. The two
kinds of people are getting farther and
farther away. from each other.
Equal opportunities do not make for
freedom in the end. In the beginning
there is, indeed, some semblance of true
freedom, but as development and eX-
ploItation progress opportunity becomes
more and more limited. The United
States is in this partially developed state
now because the wealth OF the land is
in the hands of the great combinations,
and for that reason the original op-
portunity has decreased materially.
THE. only salvation OF the United
States lies in the enactment of laws
which will place some limitation on
these great intellects which are among
us. There must be some way of limiting

IF the National Legislature does not
take some means TO save the country
from the impending peril our much
cherished principles OF government are
surely going down into ruin When the
Constitution was framed by our fathers
they did not foresee our present needs.
and, therefore, it does not provide rem
edies for our present ailments, and to
this extent 1t is obsolete

MAY NOT SEAT LEE.
Lawyers in Senate Believe Maryland
Election is Illegal.

In an informal conference of Re-
publican senator's, it has been deter
mined to oppose the seating of Blair
Lee as senator from Maryland for the
unexpired term of the late Senator
Rayner, the place temporarily filled
by Senator William P. Jackson, by
appointment.
1t has been settled for some days
that there would be such opposition.
1t raises serious doubt whether Lee
will take his seat in the senate until
the legislature of MarylanE meets
and authorizes q new special election,
and THAI election is held.
The Republican opposition is based
on the ground that there is nothing
in the Maryland election laws under
which United States Senator can
be elec.cd under the recent direct
elections amendment. G:oveliiol,
Goldsborough held otherwise on the
strength of an opinion furnished by
Acknowledgement Edgar Allen
Poe, of Marylani5.
Senator's Root, Sutherland and 9TH
crs of the ablcst lawyers in the Sen
ate combat this view, and hold that
the governor had no authority to call
AN election without first being auth
orized by the legislature to do so.
The Senate of course, is judge of
the eligibility of its members. and
can seat Lee if it wants %. The
difficulty is that if the attempt is
malt to scat hint it will involve
prolonged debate.
