For the imprisonment of the hu-
man soul in the shackles of dogma,
our ancestors paid the price Of a
thousand years of stagnation, and
on the release of those shackles the
whole of cur modern civilization is
founded.
There is no danger of losing it..
Light can drive out darkness, but

The Republican National Commit
tee is said to have adopted "stand
by the president" as the slogan for
the coming campaign. 1t is a good
slogan. But may we add better
one? by their fruits We shall know
them
During Roosevelt's term the Con-
gressional Committee held meet
ing to plan the campaign. The first
half of the meeting was devoted to
damning Roosevelt, whom congress
men almost unanimously hated. The
second half was devoted to organic
ing campaign on the slogan, ELECT
US, to stand by the president"
They got by with it, too. The
House of Repre- on domes
tic policies, get by with it this time.
Times will be good, and taxes lower
though not. if the House can help
it, more intelligent.
But the Senate. in charge of for
eign affairs, must either really stand
by the president. or else quit pre-
tending to do so.

SOLUTION OUGHT TO
BE FAIRLY EASY
Two federal boards are complain
ing of congressional requests for
information," the Interstate Com
merce Commission on the ground of
physical impossibility and the Fed
eral Trade Commission in the fear
of politics. To which Senator Borah
replies with a threat to abolish the
trade commission entirely.
1t is not necessary to decide who
is wrong. Congress or the commits
sions. Probably both. The point is
that there would be no need of any
such difficulty, if we would profit by
the experience of practically the
whole world, as to the best way to
make these requests"
"Interpellation'' is not new or
doubtful experiment. 1t is a tried
success. perhaps the most undisput-
ed success. among the mechanisms
of free government.
If we had it here, these commits
sions would be government depart
ments. or bureaus of them. and the
heads of these departments would be
on the floor of Congress, to answer
questions.
If request for information was
beyond physical possibility, or so
burdensome to be beyond reason,
the department head would say so,
and brief discussion would de-
velop what was really wanted, and
the best way to supply it.
If the request was politics. the
political head Of the department
would be there to meet 1t.
The only objectino to adopting
this wall-tried scheme here is that
it has been inenvted since 1889, and
we have been taught to regard it
as unpatriotic to know anything
that has been found out since then.
