was beautiful, this new bird was a
hundred times as lovely. He was
black and purple and violet and
brown with feathers like silky yellow
plush on his head and neck. His
eyes and throat were two colors of
green, his long beak was sky blue
and his feet as pink as June roses.
But that was not all. Out of his
wings grew great sprays of soft
orange colored feathers that arched
up over his back in a great shower

These soft plumes kept waving
gracefully this way and that as he
moved until they looked like q
shower of pure gold in the sunlight
"Oh!" cried Nancy.
"Oh!" exclaimed Nick.
Even Doctor Bill cried out at the

NOT NECESSARY TO
LIMIT SENATE DEBATE

Nobody will ever propose to limit
debate in the United States Senate
half as drastically as it is already
limited in every other legislative as
sembly in the world. The body is
too small to need it,
Any senator who has anything to
say on any measure will always
have the chance to say it, The ode
bate" it is proposed to give the ma
jority the power to stop is not dis
cussion. 1t is pure obstruction, re-
sorted to by minority, and some
times by one man, to prevent the
majority from acting.
If that is a good thing. it follows
that the Senate is bad thing, and
should be abolished.

APOLOG1STS OF REACTION
IGNORE FACTS

The trouble is that, like most men
who boast themselves practical
these apologists. of reaction are
theorists, who ignore facts. The
lower house did, indeed, change its
rules 35 years ago, but the change
was not to cut off debate.
It was to cut off filibustering by
other means than. debate-by con.
tinuous roll calls on dilatory motions
and by breaking a quorum by refus'
ing to answer to names. Speaker
Reed ruled that if member was
actually present, he should be count
ed so. whether he chose to answer to
his name or not.
AS to debate, the House had al
ways had the cloture, and the hour
limit. So has the British House OF
Commons. still the most conspicuous
center of debate in the world. II
was not curtailment of debate that
extinguished the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t was the abolition Of
leadership.

This is time of reaction against everything. The gov

Naturally his conclusion is not troubled by the fact
that there such thing he odashioned American
