ARTLESS DODGERS.

The decision OF the House Judiciary
Committee 10 pass over 10 the next Con
gross the responsibility of submitting a
single term amendment is confession
Of infrmity Of purpose on the part Of
the House Democratic leaders. The
lower branch OF Congress IS strongly
Democratic. and the Democratic party
AZ its last national convention pledged
itself as definitely as il could 10 the
.nIindple Of a single term for Presl-
Dents. The Senate which Is still anti
Democratic. made good the Baltimore
conventions promise. yet the House
for reasons which il is unwilling TO
publish frankly, refuses to cooperate
in facilitating q highly desirable polit
ical reform.
The Democratic party has always
been strong on making engagements
with the voters, but deplorably weak
on reducing them 10 terms Of perform
ance. There eau be little doubt that
the present House would vote TO submit
a clarified single term amendment. Yet
the Democratic leaders evidently fear
10 let It act lest action might give Of
fence 10 an incoming administration
which has not yet announced what
parts of the national platform are on

programme" and what should De

We do not believe. however. that the
single term amendment can he dis

with no political collateral behind IT,
'rhe new House will be more largely
Democratic than the present one, ana
The Senate after March will pass into

on its Owr responsibility in submitting

dent does not need TO approve such
legislation. and cannot veto il. How
then, can il profit the Democratic party
