That complex code of rules and ton of precedents which constiiutes written law the house Ametican *volutionary proeesses n motion when the pariy dtvision occurred that iemislative bods. The ruies are so complicated that very few members of house pretend to a com- plete understanding of them in ail their reiations, and even the speaker must de- pend upon the elerkyo the speaker's table, ow Mr. Asher C. ds, an expert par- amentarian, for his interpretations of the rules. Yet there is nothing haphszard n the system, and Mr. Speaker Cannon may rely with cohfidence upon the clerk to find that the rules uphold, justif make Imperative that course of action which Mr. Cannon, hoiding to the political pinions he does, would mosi desice to foilow. The present speaker (8 the heir of ail the strong men who have occupled th hair before him, and tae majoriy of the sssential features of his power have been angrafted into the law of the house by great speakers who have gone before. Henry Clay was the first great speaker He was elccied to that office in 1511 upenthe first day of his service a. + membver of that body. He was the head of the young men's faction which clamorsd for war with Eigiand and he was plac.d in the speaker's chair for the express pur- pose of making the will of his faction the will of the congress, He succreded In his purpos:, but his success spelled disasier r him. The war was not sucecssful in its purposes, Washingion was captured and the capitol burned and American arms won but one great victory, the post-humeus batte of New Orleans, which brougnt inio nadonal poiltical cxistenee the man Wwho was to deny to Clay his dearest a:noitions. In 1811, under Ciay and upon an appeal to the house, the doctrine that the order- ing of the previous question shuts off fur- ther debate and secures an immediaie vote upon the main question, was firmiy estabs lished. This practically reversed the Kng lish practice until them prevailing in the house. The abiiity 6f a majority to urder the previous questian is now the keystone of the arch of legisiative procedure in the house af representacives. Clay was the first speaker to consider himself the leader of his party as well as the moderator ot the assembly over which he presided. He used his power much as the speakers of this day use it, directing the course of hir supporters, crushing the opposition and makivg his will the first iaw of the house. No speaker today would dare to use the extremely arbitrary means | empioyed by Clay to deprive John K Ran- doiph of Roancke of the floor. Clay quotsd no authority for his parilamentary ruilngs and depended upon the loyaity of his fol- lowihg on the fioor io sustain the chair in the event of an appeal | The modern doetrine of the use of the “previous question” as. established by Clay was the result of the efforts of the New England representatives to prevent war with England. Under the rules then obtain- ing the opposition cuuld have delayed ac- tion for an indefinite time. The previous question was ordered, the new construc- tion of its meaning given to it and the | majority triumphed. | The successors to Clay in the speaker- |ship did not hesitate to make use of the {power which he had given to tie position, 1buc for many years litfle prestige teas added to the chair. Oniy one speaker of the !house, however, was absolutely nonpacti- |san, regarding his position as that of a | moderator such as {» held by the spesker | of the House of Commans 1n England. He was Robert M. T. Hunter of Virginia, the youngest man ever elected speaker, he be- ing but 30 years old when Ne ok the guvel in During the stormy 3Bws leading up | to €he civil war the chair walk the refuge {of mediocrity. During the war period and the early reconstruction era the speaker was the servant of Thaddeus Stevens. The overwhelming republican majority made strong rules unmecessary—there was no op- position to crush. As the democratic party began to come back to life James G. Blaine became the speaker of the Nouse. He added to ihe power of the position of speaker by assert- ing the right te grant or withhold :ecog- nition at his pleasure. This is the speak- {er's greatest individual power, and with- |out it the present method *of legislative | procedure in the house could not exist. In the senate, meither the power to order the previous question mor the right to grant preferential recognition is tolerated.

This refusal of the speaker to en tertain a dilatory metion was confirmod by the house and made a part of the rules in 1590 Both Blaine and Randall added greatly to the prestige of the spemkership, but neither undevtook to deprive the minority of the “right” of filibuster. Indeed, Mr Blaine In the chalr once beeame - surgent” and ed with the minority. Ben Butler was attempting to pass the foree bill of 1878 and the democrats, es- pecially the southerners, were in despair Not because Blaine loved the south., but beesuse he sought to undermine the power of the administration to advance his own fortunes, he resoived to kill Butler's bill He asked L. Q €. Lamar if the gent man from Mississippi knew that the jour- nal and approved. That gave the Mississippian his cue, and the debate on the approval of the journal was begun.

He ruled that the house could not tolerate dilatory tacties and was prepared o take the step of counting a quorum. But Reed of Maine and Kasson of Iows and other republican leaders toid him that they would not support such a revolutionary procedure and . Keifer de- sisted. It was reserved for Reed, ten years later, to count a quorum, revolu- tionize the rules of the house and stop the “right” of filibuster. Then came John G. Carlisis, & deme- erat, who held to the theory that speaker was the leader of congress, that he shou)d have a definite legisiative pollcy and that he should so compose commit- tees and so grant recognition as to securs the success of his.policy. This was a long step forward In gentering the power it the house in the,gpeaker. Mr. Carlisle was | the tizst strong gxpenent of the personal power of the spesker, When the nrepublicans were restorsd to power Thomas B:Reed was chosen speaker. He destroyed the most effective weapon of the filibuster by counting‘s quorum and by abolishing the fiction of actual presence and constructive absence. Under his leadership the house adopted the ““Reed rules,”” substantially as they govern ihe house today. He was suceeeded by Charlys F. Crisp, a demdérat, who deveioped the power of the committes on rules, but who | abated no essential féturs of the Resd | rules. Speaker Henderson and the present speaker have added nothing of great Im- portance to the power of the speaker or to the rules of the house. But now M. Cannon is facing & fight for the revision | of the rules and a return to a more Iiberal system of procedure in the house.

Senator Brown, when asked as to L opinion of the president's message, said: “The three strongest points in the presi- dent's message are the plea for econumy, demand for immediate action in the pae- sage of a postal savings bank bill and his interpretation of the powers of the tariff board created by the last tariff bill. “Under this interpretation, President Tsft believes the present tariff board to be 'n & position to secure the {acts necessary to an intellijent revision of the tariff, sveh | I hoped to secure through a permanent | tariff commission. “The president is entirely right in des manding that the postal savings bank Lill be taken up at this session of congress. Tye party is committed to the passage of such law and what is the use of delay? Re- ports from the treasury show that economy |in sdministration of the government is vital and [ am glad to see the presidant take such a pronounced stand in his f{irst message. “The recommendation of the president granting of injunetions without notice should be adopted at once. “The anti-trust and commerce recom- mendations which are withheld for spe- messages will, in my judgment, rcet the demands of the peoplo for laws which ed Jacob E Morrell for Bent to | will give people actual control of common carriers and eliminate public Injury ails. ing from operation of unlawful combina- tions.
