Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

the clerk of the House fail to show
any other efforts to expel members
of congress from the time of the
Smith case until 1851, when the
Thirty-seventh Congress was in
session. Two members of the con-
gress, William X. Sebastian and
Charles e. Mitchell, were expelled
on July 18th OF that year, charged
with being unfit for membership be-
cause of participation in the rebel
lion of the South against the Fed
eral Government of the Uniteo
States. Sixteen years later, when
the bitterness of the great inter-
sectional struggle had died down
somewhat, the Senate revoked the
resolution OF the expulsion pro-
nounced against Mr.. Sebastian.
On the same date as the expul-
sion of these two men, others were
expelled for sympathy with the Ie-
bellion. FSm that date until Feb
ruary 5, 1862, various members
were expelled on this account.
John c. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, was the best known of these
men. Jesse d. Bright, of Indiana,
met the same fate. The others were

John T. Deweese. of North Car
DINA, was accused of selling an APP
pointment to the Naval Academy
during the Forty-first Congress. On
March 1st, 1870, the House passed
a resolution condemning Deweese
for accepting a pecuniary consider
alton for the appointment. and De-
weese resigned his seat, retiring to
private life.

sell it find it, and the number or
those who do not is as sixteen TO

corning one great mine where now
they take forth silver and lead In
great quantities.
Eleven long years did they dig be-
fore they found the silver. And
they sunk much money and many
hopes before they got back much OF
either. For they digged a year upon
one level, and made galleries to the
right hand and to the left. Then did
they sink the mine deeper and run
galleries likewise. And then did they
dig in other directions.
And when, at the end OF eleven
years, their money having been well
nigh spent, they found silver, then
did they go back and try to discover
why they had missed it before. And
they found that some of their dig
cling had been upon the wrong level,
and some of it had been in the
wrong direction.
But one of their tunnels had been
on the right level and in the right
direction. And they went back to

weakens the skin. Then when n
energies into the open air, he "catch-
es a cold" This is the a for
the draft" idea of catching cold.
1t is not a draft that makes one
catch cold but the lowering of re-
sisting power by the quick changes
of temperature.
Lack of fresh air is another
reason for colds. One should sleep
always with a large amount of fresh
air in circulation. Outdoor exercise
and deep breathing are essential.
Constipation renders the body low
in vitality and readily liable to colds.
Overeating and fatigue also pro-
duce conditions in which one is
liable to infection.
One of the best ways of getting
rid of a cold is to go to bed If
possible. This rests the body and
keeps it at an even temperature.
A good cathartic should be taken
to eliminate the poisons in the
system. The diet during a cold
should be simple and in a small
quantity. DRINK a glass of water
every half hour.
If the cold is severe or if a pain
in the chest develops a physician
should be summoned Immediately.
Medical treatment will shorten the
duration of the cold and prevent
complications which might develop
from the continued weakness of re-
sisting powers of the body.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-The case
of Representative Blanton, who re-
Gently was %censured, after a resolu-
ton of expulsion against him had
failed, for the kind of language ne
caused to be printed in the Con-
gressional Record, seems to be the
first of its kind in the history of the
United States Congress.
Many members of congress have
been forced out of congress and
back to private life by the votes of
their colleagues, but the offense has
never, according to records compil-
ed by Tyler Page, clerk of the
House, been exactly that charged
against Nj. Blanton.
The House is the judge of it's own
membership. Even though a con-
gresham might be elected by the
unanimous vote of his constituents,
the other members of the House
could, if they chose, bar him from
taking his seat, or throw him out
after he was installed as a member.
Twice in recent years a duly elected
member of congress was prevented
from taking his seat and assuming
his duties. This man, too, was a
former congressman-Victor Ber-
ger, of Milwaukee.
Berger was barred on the ground
that he was under sentence for
committing a crime. At the time
Berger tried to defend himself on
the floor, but not having been al
lowed to take the oath of office, he
was not recognized as a member
and had no rights. Berger, who
was out of Jail on an appeal, was
elected again by the people of his
district, but was not permitted to
take his seat, the House voting
again TO bar him on the same
grounds.
The First Case
The first effort by the House of
Representatives to unseat one of it's
members was made in the Fifth
Congress in 1897. William Blount,
of Tennessee, was accused of high
misdemeanor" by his colleagues of
the House. On July 8th of that
year, a resolution of expulsion was
voted upon, and the Tennessee con-
gresham was deprived of his seat.
During the. same congress-, but
the year following two congressman
got into a fight, which led to reso-
lutiOns of expulsion being intro
- aN1os lAAtEt Iltu were IAOStT
Griswold, of Connecticut, and Mat
thew Lyon. of Vermont. In this
case neither congressman was I'M
seated, both resolutions failing Of
the necessary two-thirds affirma-
tive vote.
John Smith. a congressman from
Ohio, was accused of completely
with Aaron Burr. This occurred
during the life of the Tenth Con-
gress in 1903. Mr.. Smith was tried
by the senate, and a resolution ex-
polling him was voted on April 3,
1908. This resolution failed of
adoption. Mr.. Smith holding his
seat. However. sixteen days later
Smith offered his resignation as a
member of the congress and this
was accepted.

his native city, Tarbes, in the south

Euniary considerations for appoint
ments to both the Military and Ma
val Academies. While a resolution
of expulsion was pending, Mr..
Whittemore resigned his seat. De-
spite the fact that he was no longer
a member of the congress-, the
House passed a condemnatory res
olution on February Gath, 1870.
Whittemore sought to clear UP his
record by being reelected to con
Gress. He succeeded in his cam
paign, but the House refused to let
him be seated, so his efforts went
for nothing.
During the Fifty--sixth congress
the House was faced with the di-
lemma of approving of polygamy or
refusing to seat a duly elected
member. This man was Brigham
II. Roberts, of Utah, a mormon,
who avowedly had three wives. 1t
was pointed out in his defense that
these wives were taken entirely le-
gally and under the sanction of the
Mormon church before that church
prohibited polygamy. Mr.. Roberts
was refused a seat by the other
members of the House. The vote
occurred OF January 25, 1900.
There are two other older cases.
One concerns o.. B. Matteson, OF
New York, who resigned from con-
gress OF February 9th, 1857, pend
ing a resolution of expulsion based
on the charges that Matteson had
melted the corrupt spending of
money to secure passage of a meas
ure before the congress-.
On the same date w. A.. Gilbert,
of New York, resigned his seat. He
was about to face a resolution of
expulsion because he had accepted
seven square miles of land for cast
ing his vote in favor of the pas
sage of the Iowa land bill.
There nave been designations and
explosions from the senate also,
and some resolutions of censure.
All of the S enumerated here
have to do with the lower branch
of congress.

having a sallow complexion-dark rings
under your eyes-pimples-a bilious
look in your face-dull eyes with no

per cent of all sickness comes from
