NEBRAsKA's NEW LEGISLATURE

Senator George ". Norris, of Ne
braSka. who almost single-handed put
through the amendment 70 the United
States constitution, abolishing the lame
duck" session of Congress and changing
the dae of inaugurating our Presidents,
scored another victory in the elections held
this month.
The Senator sponsored an amend
ment to the constitution of Nebraska,
which abolishes the present legislature and
sets up, in place of Senate and House, a
single body of from thirty to fifty MEM
bers, preferably non-partisan. The voters
OF the state adopted the idea at the polls
and the present legislature, including
thirty three Senators and one hundred Rep
resentatives, viii divide the state into dis
tricts TO set-up the new legislative body
which will meet for the first time in 1897
One Of the advantages of the Amer
lean system of state government, as pointed
out by the Englishman, Lord Bryce, and
other writers on government, is that a
political experiment can be carried out in
one state and its results noted by others.

teFest.

It may be true that military men
favor maintenance of larger armies and
Havies than the average citizen deems
necessary. But that they want war is not
true. No class is more opposed to war
than those who must inevitably take part
IN If when it comes. Particularly is this
true Of those who have experienced the
horrors Of war
Bat military men who have seen the
slaughter OF unframed or partially trained
troops are naturally believers in adequate
measures OF preparedness. As a rule they
have little faith in the idea that war is a
thing Of the past
At the same time they realize that
public sentiment is against large regular
military establishment and content them
selves with making the best preparations
possible with the means Congress provides.
Their attitude is well expressed by Major
General Charles P Summerall, who once
said:
We have never fought a war with
trained and equipped troops, and We never
shall do 50. 1t Is inconsistent with the
form Of our government and the psychology
Of our people TO maintain adequate military
preparedness. They would rather pay the
price than TO spend a part OF that amount

the expenditure of public funds for this
purpose We cannot condemn it in principle.
Certainly, there are those who need help.
and they should have it. even though it
means, as It Inevitably does. that
sTcophants and chiselers win horn in and
take money that they are not entitled TO
receive.
The estimate is that $4,000. 900 peo-
pie viii receive relief this winter from the
government which has been forced to as
could not bear the burden. However. the
government which passes out food and
clothing and money cannot restore broken
spirits or fan the fires of the human heart.
This is the task of service that lies ahead
of every community i'm the United States
and Key West should respond by doing
what Newton d. Baker, head of the
1884 Mobilization for Human Needs,
urges It to do. namely organize. formulate
program, secure donations and carry on
in an effective manner.

have done our best the feeble and sick

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Newspaper headlines of NoVem-
her seventh certainly indicated
joy and jubilation in the Demo
cratic camp. The party had done
what used to be thought the inn
p0ssihle-where even popular adj
ministrations usually lose SO TO
90 House seats in the off-year
elections, along with a senator or
two. il actually increased its al
ready preponderent majority in
each branch of the Congress. How
ever. beneath the surface. the
very size of the victory has
brought big problems to the White
House and to responsible Demo-
cratic leadership.
Just before the election, Demo-
cratic Chairman Farley asked, as
he naturally would. that the peo-
pie return democrats to the House
and Senate. and offered the opin-
ion that the one big issue at stake
was confidence i'm Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Farley went so far as to say
just how much majority he would
like To see. placing it at two
thirds.
The public went Mr.. Farley
one better. The next Senate will
consist of 50 Democrats. 81 Re-
publieans and three members of
minor parties. The next House will
contain 321 Democrats, 103 Re-
pubhcans, and ten members of
minor parties. There will be IS
Democratic governors. as against
eight Republicans. one Progressive
and one FarmeF-lsbor. As a result,
the Democratic party controls,
roughly. 70 percent Of the major
elective offices of the nation.
Now for the Democratic trOu-
bles. II has been the unvarying
experience that when a party has
so great a majority that it need
fear no opposition. II breaks up
into factions. becomes constantly
