now by one party and now by the other,
with some good, some bad results, until
the necessity of another general over
hauling presents itself. It should be
recognized and obeyed.
That Speaker Reed wrought upon a
non partisan principle was shown by the
retention of the basic features of his
plan by the democrats when next they
came into House control. 1t so hap
pened that the very next House fell to
them, and that the spectacle was pre-
sented of the application of the Reed
rules by those who had only two years
before almost riotousiy resisted their
adoption. And in their hands they
served as well as they had served when
in the hands Of the other side

The House Rules.

AT later day-probably at the regu-
lar session-the rules of the House will
be brought under consideration for
amendment. Chairman Pou of the rules
committee announced Monday when the
subject was mentioned that the com
mittee would hear those with PROPOSE
tons to submit
Both parties would profit from an
overhauling of the whole House proce-
dure, undertaken and carried out, of
course, without thought or intention Of
securing party advantage. If the leaders
were to gather at a committee table,
canvass the subject in the light of the
fact that now one party and now the
other controls the House, and that no
matter which party is in control the
public business should be transacted
with reasonable dispatch and all fair
ness, good would come Of the meeting.
1t has been a quarter Of century
since such work of any thoroughness
was done. At that time it was forced
by conditions that made it imperative.
All business could be, and sometimes
was, halted by distractions inconsequen-
tial in themselves and employed for
petty purposes.
Speaker Reed at the beginning of the
Fifty-frst Congress prepared reforms,
but had almost to force them upon the
House. The most strenuous objection
was made by the opposition, and not all
the members Of his own party supported
him intellectually. But his dominat-
ing personality won the fight in the
end, and the best code Of rules the House
had ever known was put into action and
accomplished all expected.
: Since then the code has been tinkered,

What Must Be Done at Once.

As outlined in the very words of Presi-
dent Wilson what responsibilities. show
ing forth the part which America is to
play in the war, Will the declaration of a
state of war by Congress involve!
~ 1t will involve the utmost prac-
ticable cooperation in counsel and ac-
ton with the governments now at war
with Germany, and. rs incident to that,
the extension to those governments of
the most liberal financial credits. in or
der that our resources may so far as
possible be added to theirs. (2) 1t will
involve the organization and mobiliza-
ton of all the material resources of the
country to supply the materials of war
and serve the incidental needs of the
nation in the most abundant and vet the
most economical and efficient way pos
sible. (3) 1t will involve the immediate
full equipment of the navy in all re-
spects, but particularly in supplying it
with the best means of dealing with the
enemys submarines. az 1t will in
volve the immediate addition to the
armed forces of the United States al
ready provided for by law in case of
war at least five hundred thousand men,
who should, in the opinion of the Presi-
dent, expressed in his message, be chosen
upon the principle of universal liability
to service, and also the authorization of
subsequent additional inerements of
equal force so soon as they may be
needed and can be handled in training
(J) In carrying out the measures by
which these things are to be accom-
plished We should keep constantly in
mind the wisdom of interfering as lit
tie as possible in our own preparation
and in the equipment of our own mill
tary forces with the duty-for it will
be very practical duty-of supplying
the nations already at war with Ger
many with the materials which they can
obtain only from US or by our assist
ance. They are in the field and we
should help them in every way to be ef-
fective there.
Immediately upon the enactment of
the resolution now pending declaring
that state of war exists measures will
be pressed putting these steps into exc
cution. There must be no paltering
over ineonsequential details or over rival
policies of preparedness or finance. The
government must be enabled with the
least delay to accomplish the four spe-
cifc things the President has outlined,
with full consideration for the fifth
point he notes, of abstention from any
disloeating of our resources upon which,
as well as upon our arms, rests the issue
of the conflict
Full credit in unlimited amount, for
our own needs and for those of the
allies, an organization and mobilization
of our industries to yield a maximum
of war materials and of domestic sup
plies, the full equipment and rapid de-
velopment of the navy, the immediate
raising of an army of 500 900 men with
more to be added as rapidly as possible,
the adoption of the principle of uni
versal training and liability to service
these are the vital necessities of the
hour, and these must be pressed to exc
cution quickly.
