sus year is always followed by an IL
crease of the present unwirldy body,
because nobody is willing TO support
a proposition that will reduce the
representation from any State.
By every rule CT common sense
legislative bodies ought to be kept
within such compass that real de-
liberation, detailed consideration,
would be possible. Maryland will
give the country g good example if
she will take the lead in this direc-
tion. There are several thousands
of legislators in the country, in ma
tional, State and city assemblies,
that are worse than Useless; a posi-
tive hindrance to business, simply
because they make it harder to get
results.

SECRET SENATE SESSIONS


Der of years that increasing disaffec-
ton with the secret consider alton of
Presidential nominations was certain
sooner or later to lead to revolt
against the system. It is perfectly
senseless and illogical that such
business should be attended to in
secret. No part of the Presidential
duty is more Immediately Important
to the public than the selection Of
the men who become the executive
and the judicial establishment of the
Government. No matter how good
our laws may be, their effectiveness
depends on the men who are to ad-
minister them Publicity about the
kind of men who are to exercise the
real powers of the Government is of
no whit less Importance than pub
licity in making the laws.
The rule about secrecy has been
far more honored in the breach than
in the observance, and the sugges-
tion that under the rules a Senator
may be expelled for violation of the
secrecy rule is laughable. The Sem
ate couldn't possibly muster a QUO
rum, and it couldn't have mustered
one at any time in many years, if
every Senator against whom the
! charge of violating secrecy would
lie, were excluded from it's sittings.
There is justification for the re-
quirement that treaties shall be ton-
sidered in secret session. Foreign
relations, as a matter 'of fact, are
quite too freely discussed in open
sessions. The lions tail gets twist
ed whenever an issue like that Of
canal tolls comes up, and the foreign
press, getting accounts OF the pro-
ceedings, is wont to wonder what
sort of a people re are. If the
recognized leaders of parties talked
as recklessly in Legislative chambers
of France and Germany as they do
here, it would be quite impossible to
prevent stirring up war before long.
Our isolation and the less intimate
and vital character of our foreign re-
lations save us from the logical con-
sequences of thoughtless utteranecs.
But when it comes to confirming
men for high place in the Govern
ment, a very different rule should
apply. The Constitution provides
that "by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate" the President
shall exercise his appolntivc power
AS matter of fact, no President
ever advises" with the Senate
Some Presidents advise with par
ticular Senator'S, in private; the no,
ton of asking the Senate whether j:
thinks a certain rams nomination
to certain place would be desirable
has never occurred to any President
so far as we know. The Senate, in,
decd, must yet Consent but under
the pressure of political authority
and patronage power from the White
House, its consent is so rarely with,
held that it is a remarkable occas.
sion when a nomination is rejected.
There ought to DC very different
relation between President and Sen
ate in these regards. The Senate
as body, is entitled to be advised
with, and in cases where there is bit
ter opposition on principle to confir
nation, the country is entitled tt
know what the fight is all about. Th'
Daniels case, that has this weel
brought tense warfare to the Zoo
in secret sessions, will have been ;
most useful incident it if shall ent
the nonsense of secret sessions.

Vain Obligations, by Katherine Fullerton
Gerould. published by Charles Scroners
Sons, New York.
Short stories are either too long or
too short. too full Of meat or too lack
ing in meat In these days. One reads
and forGets, the tales do not cling, ana
that perhaps is the reason for SO many
Of them.
But these short stories are different
While neither very long nor very snort
they remain, they haunt. perhaps De-
cause they end in a minor key. Again
they are easy to read, told in the once
upon-a-time style. On the Staircase.
and The Tortoise are good. but they
are not pleasant. But some folks ike

The tales can bear retelling by word
of mouth.
Mrs Brand, by H A. Mitchell Keays, pub
lished by Small Maynard &c Co, Boston.
Every once in while an author puts
out a book with the wrong title. At
least the reader always has a sneaKins
suspicion that he coul1 have supplied
a better one. There is an element of
annoyance in It, too, for, obviously, the
author wishes the attention to be con-
certrated mainly upon the leading char
acter in the book. and the reader Tinds
himself forgetting the title, heroine or
hero. and focusing all interest upon an
other character.
There are half-heartcd attempts to
get a sympathetic view point of the
authors choice, and n dsJointed knowl-
edge Of the whole plot is the result
Had the author Of Mrs. Brand, as
long as a single name was chosen. had
justified the like life character study OF
the minister, Mr.. Overholt. by usins his
name, as a title, the consistency of the
story would be strengthened.
Overholt has gone into the ministry
the Salamander Of Owen Johnson,
to send his genius UP in a fight. then
watch il soar. Taking uo the work In
a parish where lives a Mrs. Brand. for
merly engaged to him, he SCARED toe
high. His wife dies, Mrs. Brands hus-
band, pillar of church and prominent
citizen, also conveniently dies. The
young son of Overholt Is cared for by
Mrs. Brand after leath OF mis- mother
thus uniting the houscholds. Nothing
could be better for Oyerholt than he
should marry Mrs. Erand.
The plot concerns itself with whether
ne did or did not, and the resultant un-
folding of the character Of both Per.
haps Mrs. Brand rises to a more noble
height, but the study Of Overholt is ir.
tensely more interesting.
