jan amendment to the Constitution abolishing con- giess, it may be accepted that it has the support of the people and that they tacitly approve the! annual return of the calamity. The statement quoted may not be technically | | seditious, but it is calculated to create distrust and! conten pt, in that branch of the government which | is set first in the constitution arid which is vested with greatest power. The legislative branch, with representatives chosen by the people, is a funda- mental essential of a republican form of govern- ment. The statement then that Congress is a ca- lamity is an attack upon our form of govern-| | ment. Dismissing as unworthy of further consideration the magazine statement, it is more profitable to | review a few facts in the recent record of Con- 4.50 | gress in order to demonstrate whethér or not al 5 | session of Congress is a national calamity.
