THE HOUSE RECORD Tne democratic house of representatives has up to the present time made a record that is really remarkable. It has been in session only five weeks, and yet in that short time it has passed five exceedingly Important bills, and has done it in an orderly way, without any application of the gag rule. There has been no serious complaint on the part of the minority that it has been deprived of its right, though, of course, former Speaker Cannon —of all men —has made a few mild protests, for purely political effect, against what he was pleased to call the despotism of the majority. Monday the farmers' free list bill was passed by a vote of 236 to 109. 1 wenty-four republicans are recorded in its favor. The bill was solidly supported by the democrats. Those republicans in the senate who are disposed to oppose reciprocity on the ground that it is unfair to the farmer, i no.v have a chance to even matters up by putting through this free list bill, which is expressly designed to meet this objection to reciprocity, which, by the way, is very largely fanciful. The bill passed Monday is right. We have no doubt that the bill will be signed by the president if it reaches kin:. It is for the senate to say whethet it ever gets to him. But whatever hapnens, the house of representatives

has done Its duty. Incidentally It ( may be remarked that up to the pres- • ent time the new rules have fully justified themselves. In addition to this bill the house has, in its session of five weeks, passed the reciprocity bill, the bill providing tor pre-election publicity campaign contributions. the reapportionment bill end th*e amendment providing for ] the direct election of senators. Not once has it been necessary to resort to special rules to put through the ( party program. Thus It has been proved that business, and important business, can be done without making the speaker the dictator of the house. We also see that there is some capacity in the democratic party, at least as represented in congress, for government, and some ability to follow wise and prudent leadership. The record up to date is one of which the party may well be proud. It is so good that certain narrow critics on the other side find it nec- j essary to do what they can to discredit it But the republicans generally, 1 both in the senate and in the house, as was shown In our Washington dispatches a few days ago, freely admit that up to the present time the house ] democrats have done remarkaky well. It is now for them to look after their own party’s record. Thus far the sen- . ate has done nothing For some time it has had before ft the reciprocity bill, the publicity bill, and the other ! measures passed by the house. The country is now more interested in the probable action of the senate than in any possible differences that may later develop among the democrats. These differences are not, if we may : Judge by what has so far been accomplished. likely to be serious. Even if nothing else is done —and it is certain that the wool schedule will be revised —the house has already made a record which will impress the people—lndianapolis News. NOTICE.
