through it, and two tariff bills and a 
currency measure have been threshed 
out behind the guarded portals of the 
“secret caucus.” ‘The result is that 
the Democratic members of the cau- 
cus have always gone into the House 
with a definite purpose of legislation 
that has swept all opposition before it, 
When Reed and Cannon were the 
Speakers they did not appoint their 
Committees tor months in order that 
they might better handle the opposi- 
tion. Now the Committees are nam- 
ed instanter, but the Democratic lead- 
ers who occupy the chairmanships de- 
fer to the caucus which prescribes the 
method of procedure, and therefore 
all legislation that has been suggest- 
ed outside the party program has been 
strangled to death. Ostensibly the 
“one man power” of Cannon days 1s 
over, as the new method makes every 
member of the majority believe him- 
self to be an important part of the 
system that rules. The Republicans 
never discovered the full power of 
the caucus until it was directed 
against them, though Speaker Clark 
reminded Congressman Payne of tar- 
iff fame, in the course of a contro- 
versy, that the Republicans had a 
“hog combine that no mortal man 
could break,” and he added that it 
lasted for sixteen years. ‘The Repub- 
licans are going to make an tssue of 
the caucus—the same institution the 
“insurgents” refused to participate in 
when the G. O. P. was in power. 
he minority further asserts that the 
rules of the House under “Cannonism , 
were no more arbitrary than the pres- 
ent system in Congress. Speaker 
Clark has declared that “we must have 
organization to enact the will of the 
people into law.” He further asserts 
that the Democrats have this “ organ- 
ization,’ and he says they are using 
it in fulfilling their pledges to the 
people. Without attempting any 
apology he has told the Republicans 
that “the custom of the pot calling 
the kettle black has never met with 
the highest encomium in this coun- 
try.” Right or wrong, the best of har- 
mony has always been maintained 
within the Democratic organization, 
and for three years every party plan 
has gone through as “sleek as grease.’ 
Tum Fossitizep CENSUS 
The disclosures of the Census Bu- 
reau show that although three and a 
half years have elapsed since the 
enumeration, much of the work re- 
mains uncompleted, and many of the 
reports have never been made. Thus 
several million dollars worth of cen- 
sus work has relapsed into junk. 
Worse still, clerks are kept on old 
work thereby holding back annual re-
