power within thirty days after the cleo

the President, with all the machinery Of
government at his command can appoint
reconstruction committees innumerable
to deal with every conceivable problem
And he can go ahead and act on every
thing that is within the realm of Execu-
tive power, and, finally, when at last he
has hostile Congress on his hands, he
will have definite programmes worked
out, and if they are good the Congress
will have to accept them. If they arc
bad they will not have a thoughtfullv

1t IS predicted that one Of the first
things the new Congress will consider
Will be changing the constitutional date
OF the assembling of Congress. After
having the national barn door unlocked
on two historic occasions. it is purposed
now to see that it shall always be locked
hereafter.
But after all that the President may
do without the help of reconstruction
Congress, the most of it will relate to
the immediate problems of undoing what
the war has done; matters of readiust-
ment rather than Of reconstruction in
the main; though it is conceivable that he
might jam through much reconstruction
legislation between now and March 4.
But, even so, the Republicans find
themselves veXed by another aspect Of
our tardily unrcsponsive system of gov
eminent. Not being in control of the
Executive in any degree between now
and December, 1919, they have no official

This awkward hiatus of a newly
elected Congress powerless to act for the
very purpose for which it was elected,
has occurred at least twice in supreme
moments of national affairs-under An
drew Johnson, at the end of the Civil
War. and now under President Wilson,
at the end Of the World War.
Congress was not in session when Lin
coin was assassnated, and johnson de-
cided to deal with reconstruction of the
South without it's help. He refused to
call it in special session, and went ahead,
with what results all the world knows.
Now. at the end of actual hostilitles IN
the World War, President Wilson has
Congress on his hands, but it is his own,
obedient and Democratic Congress which
will not give him much concern in his
reconstruction and peace policies.
When peace is formally attained and
proclaimed it will probably be after
March a.. The present Congress will
have expired, and the President, like
President Johnson before him, will prefer
to 20 on handling reconstruction, without
the assistance of a special session of
Republican Congress, except perhaps for
special session Of the Senate to ratify
the peace treaty.
The result probably will be that by the
time the Congress elected by the people
as q reconstruction Congress gets into
the saddle, the Executive power will
have finished the job, or so committed the
country in many respects that the new
Congress will find that what it was
elected to do has either been done by the
President and the old Congress or by the
President alone

there may a great smashing of those
seniority states. The world is going
through a new growth Of democracy, and
liberal dose is advocated for Congress
in its own household
The time has come, say the representa-
tives of this new thought, for the Ameri-
can Congress to cease to be d pot-boiling,
logrolling coterie Of friends in power
by tradition and by mean considerations
st is time of the utmost gravity"
said one of these forward looking men.
The tremendous vote Of confidence the
people have just given to the Republican
party has SO enlarged our responsibility
that we should be forever ashamed to
organize on the nasty old pork barrel
basis
of the committees are constituted
purely on seniority lines by means
Of the pork barrel method - the
method of You do this for me and I will
do that for you,' we shall head straight
for legislation without vision, and we
shall be as blind to the signs of the times
now trying to beat each other away from
the thrones they thought were family
property.
"The Republicans of each House in
caucus ought to select their committee
members, and they ought to choose the
best men for the places. Generally
speaking, everybody knows who the best
men are. There is no difficulty in nam
ing them; the difficulty is in putting
them where they belong. If we don't do
it we shall fail miserably, and pettily,
in this momentous time, and our victory
this month will turn out to be onlv q
patrol encounter before disastrous de-
feat in 1920"

democratically and wisely chosen or not

In the former event they will get no

is evolved.

slider it's leadership it will find itself the

Rack to a Sane
IL Programme

The Republican party must see to ia
that the country gets back to peace
basis on a sane legislative programme
without surrender Of the principles of
representative government. 1t is held
that during the war, and even before,
the country has been rushing toward
state socialism at a terrific pace. "We
must get back to fundamentals" it is as
serted, sgAhha teNers thai means. ,and it is
interpreted to mean among other things
that
First-The government must not spend
money for the sole purpose of creating
jobs.
Second-We must not keep on indefinite
ly giving credits to Europe, in order
to keep our factories going, and give
employment.
Thlrd-The railroads must be restored
to private ownership and operation

fourth-Shipbuilding and shipping con.
ditions must continue on a truly naA

afterward instead of thirteen. as at
present Moreover a new President
would always come into power with a
new Congress in regular session, and it
would not have to depend on his whim
as to calling an extra session, either
then or two years later, as TO whether
the voice of the people must wait more
than year for expression. The Con-
gressional session does now begin on
March 4, but except the President call

Wake Up the
W New Voters

Reams have been written about tins
lack of direct sequence between cleo
ions and Congressional terms and ses-
sions, but it has to be emphasized and
written about every so often for the
benefit of new voters, and to refresh
The memory of older ones.
When the Constitution was adopted
responsible party government was
ssalying in England, but it was not I'm
deutood, either there or in America.
The makers of the Constitution con-
eeiEed of the Congress as sort of BIZ
eameral national council that would
meet, once in every year, at least, and
dispose Of the nations business. Par
ties or responsible government were not
conceived Of.
The idea of Congress rejecting the
RATIONAL will on a great issue and has
'ening to perform accordingly was not
sFasped. Political campaigns of national
Policies were not foreseen. There would
s awmaking to he done, but If Con-
gfess met at least once a year it could
attend to that. There was apparently
20 reason why there should be any
alfry about getting q new Congress
mo power. Elections were to be held
very two years, not to make Congress
. whole responsive, but to make it
uncut for any Congressman to get too
1ong hold on his job.

N T 70 Learn run

1t is declared to be addicted to senior
ity and log-rolling in making up COM
mittees and distributing the organize
ton plums. So if this man is right the
Republicans in the House will first have
to learn to rule themselves before they
can undertake to rule the land He pre-
diets a bitter clash on this question and
advises more initiative and less docility
on the part Of the rank and file.
The first battle will probably come
over the Speakership.
1t seems now to be generally accepted
that Representative Mann, who is the
nominal Republican floor leader and the
logical candidate for Speaker, will, by
reason Of his long illness, be passed
over. Among the aspirants to the place
ing Republican member of the important
Appropriations Committee; Nicholas
Longworth, of Ohio; Fl. D, Fess, of
Ohio; Madden, of Illinois, and j. Hamp-
ton Moore, of Pennsylvania.
The Democrats will simultaneously
have their own gloomy minority fight
Scott Ferris, of Oklahoma, is reported
to be out to overthrow the leadership
that discredited the party.
On old traditional lines Mr.. Kitchin,
who, as chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, has been virtually the
Democratic floor leader, would cour-
teously surrender that honor to Champ
Clark when he descends from the Speak
er's chair to the floor, and the same little
coterie of Southern Congressman would
continue to rule the party, after having
lost the rule of the country
Mr.. Ferris is reported to consider
that he would be the right sort of lead
er, and that, with his advent to power.
Mr.. Clark, with his capacity for making
vote-losing epigrams such as "a convict
and conscript look alike to me-; Mr..
Kitchin, with his stolid anti-war record,
and Mr.. Dent, with his obstruction Of
military preparations, and some others,
would retire from the spotlight.
AS Mr.. Ferris sees it, this would be
fine way for the Democrats to start put
ting their house in order for 1920.
The Republicans agree, and declare
in principle that they, too, must put
their house in order
If precedent has its way the major
committees will be led in the new House
as follows:

By Theodore M. knappen

IN NOVEMBER the American
& ,..s: voted s Tia, t.: they S:s: dis;
Congress. But for the next
f0ur months the Congressional control
that the people have weighed in the
balance and found wanting will go on
making the laws Of the country.
And more than that: In the ordinary
course of events the Republicans, with
an emphatic mandate of the people in
their possession to direct legislation,
will not get the faintest chance until
the first Monday in December, 1919,
more than a year after the mandate
was given.
By that time the pepole may be sorry
that they gave the mandate to the Re-
/, pub!cans--it being the privilege Of de-
mueraces, as we'll as of women and
statesmen, to change their minds. But
il they are, they will have to wait an
p.her year before they can effectively
say so, and they will have to'put up with
Republican lawmaking for two years.

Guardianship of these committees goes
by seniority, in fact, whatever may be
the more modern theory
Some of the big men in the House Of
Representatives feel that in this great
time the chairmanships of the powerful
committees ought to go to the strongest
men on the Republican side Of the
House, no matter whether they are
newly elected or whether they have
served on the particular committees be-
fore or not. But they fear that, unless
there is violent revolution, the Re
publicans Will bow down to custom and
give the chairmanships to the ranking
Republican members, which may mean
big jobs for little men-eadership for
men who are not leaders.
Discussing this subject, a Republican
House leader remarked that one of the
contributing causes to the recent Demo-
cratic defeat was that slavish follow
ing of seniority gave the Craftsmanship
of the Ways and Means Committee to
AiCSHlli, VI tile MILITARY AudQS COm-
mittee to Dent, and the conrol of all
the committees to 4 handful Of Bour-
bons.
Kitchen and Dent and Speaker
Clark, too-are held to have offset the
Presidents prestige. This leader warns
that unless a better way be found Of
allocating chairmanships the Repub1i-
cans may find themselves in the same
mess of small or narrow men trying to
deal with colossal problems.
1t is q curious and interesting fact
that the present Republican Committee
on Committees which will undertake to
continue it's functions in the next Con-
gress, all of it's members having been re-
elected. is self-constituted committee.
1t gave a banquet to itself, and two or
three other Republican members, and
declared itself the committee Tt was
not elected by the Republican caucus.
