POLITICAL MELoDRAMA.


A man who rises TO the distinction
Of being sent to congress Is generally
supposed TO set nm example for his
community, and also to give the rest
OF the country fair conception Of
the ealiber of the men who have
elected him. When one reads, there
fore. OF an exchange OF cheap bra
vado on the fioar Of the house. one
wonders u the staggering type OF
statesman that stoopa to such beha-
vIor accurately represents the beau
ideal of his section.
The Congressional Record repro
duces the following heated colloduy
between Representative Moon Of
Tennessee and Representative Helm
Of Alabama. during the course of the
debate on the prohibition bill. For
convenience. we publish the ncwspa-
per account of It, which Is accurate:
81 denounee the statement of the
gentleman from Tennessee as untrue,
said Mr.. Heflin,
The gentleman will not say to

or course. In the days Of the duel
and top boots. such flaming gentle
men would have been regarded as
great men. but what we would like
to learn Is whether this sort OF big
talk Is still admired by their respec-
tive eonstltu.ne.e la Tie south. or
anywhere else
From time out OF mind there
has been tendency in the metropoli-
ltan press TO laugh at the ability and
the nretentions of the average menu
Der of congress. Naturally II Is ANUS
ing to watch a putting statesman cool
down after he has reached white
Iheat; bat the trouble Is that the read
ing public comes to Judge the rest
Of that important body by the COM
Ipnratlvely few hiatherskites in IT,
To be sure, congress is not made
Iup of very able men. Most Of the
members are more or less false
ALARMS" SO far as craftsmanship goes.
The head work is done By few men
lwho are free from spectacular exhl-
billions. They plan and direct. They
dig for facts. and get them. The
lothers manage to get through by
lusing the work of these workers as
their own. About nine out OF every
ten members of the lower house OF
congress are mediocre In ability, DEM
lagognes mostly arm-floppers and
Wind TANNERS for the benefit OF
Those who do not understand the diff
ference between gold and tinsel.
But 1t is unfortunate that the real
workers should be judged by the
mere posors In our national legisla-
ture. The poorest excuse for a states
man is one who becomes an exponent
OF political melodrama.
