PRESS AXD LAW-MAKERS OXCB I ' AXD NOW. A member of the German Reich stag having hurled a very uncompli mentary expression at the press gal lery, the newspaper representatives nearly all withdrew. They had been called "swine" by the angry member, ' and they resented hts performance a an Insult to their entire profession. At a meeting' th same day It was decided that unless the offending Deputy withdrew his epithet, or cau ed It withdrawal by the proper par liamentary authority, they would not only roast him to a finish but report none of the Reichstag's proceedings meanwhile, a scheduled speech by Chancellor von Buelow and other strictly ministerial statements alone . excepted. The strike resolution be ing sent to the President of the 'Reichstag and the floor leaders of the political parties, results were quickly apparent Of twelve Depu ties down for speeches, every one -had his name stricken off. The pros pect of addressing only a few hun dreds where they had expected to address millions was quite too much. A London dispatch states that aev era! leading English newspapers like wise ignored the unfortunate Reich' stag's proceedings pending the apolo gy demanded. - We are, happy to say that the reporters were finally ap peased after two days of unpleasant teas and oratory has resumed Its ac customed sway. This serio-comic Incident serves as a reminder of the immense changes which parliamentary government and governed have undergone in ' their mutual relation during the past few generations. The time long was, but. is not now, when Parliaments were as Irresponsible in their hun dred-headed exercise of power as any Individual ruler could possibly be. A popular legislative body once elected, It governed, in so far as unrestrained by sovereign or hereditary body, with almost no checks beyond those arls 7 ing from national customs. If Com mons were dominant over King and Lords their leaders wielded the chief executive power of th country and divided the spoils of office ' among themselves and their adherents. In consequence the popular house was for decades at a time a close corpora tion, showering its members' with riches and honors. Only the people had a right to hold it responsible; and inasmuch as the people usually lacked both the means and the will to exercise that right. It lay under few restraints apart from Its own consclepce. The self-governing urban communities . of Greece and Italy the city Is the native home of self government seldom had such condi tions to meet except in very slight degree, for with direct exercise of sovereignty by the people, so readily and obviously .possible wherever the city constituted the State, representa tive government had but too limited opportunities. Alternations between nob rule and the despotism or dic tatorship In which mob rule always terminates were deplorably frequent. To the fairly well-balanced division of power between the powers exer cised by the Roman Senate and those reserved for direct exercise by th Roman people was ' largely , due Rome's greatness. - i . . i ; But it Is modern parliamentary government's intermediate stages which naturally Invite direct compar lon with th same system's later stages and furnish th marked con trast to which we have already re lerred. At once th most typical and Convenient example is found In the English House of Common during tb eighteenth century and laat do cad of the seventeenth. With public 1 Inlon scarcely existent, except when great thlnga were In th air, outside certain class- and with those cla Jn varying proportions always domi nating the Houxe of Common,' there as no one toward whom- the House might be accountable. Brief printed news-1. tt-rs, mailed Jn small num ber and at hlh prices from the capita! the earliest form of modern newspaper comprised about the most serviceable news mediums. j. n p.iyeicai conditions wnicn now make it possible for the proceedings i (t Congress at WafMnftos to be In- unt'.y trrrr,!tt'd over a f '-.!Innt tti cri.i-a!!y rl I y million a fei I ' rt later hi nnt then to-.r.v Inte 'T.-., r.1 c--," ,-y jr'puiar' sentiment could not organize Itself very readily upon matters of leg1s lation or anything else. Even could parliamentary news have been trans mitted over all Great Britain as read ily as over London, th House Itself would have forbidden. ' It Is a sin gular fact that the House of Com mons privilege of keeping its delib erations secret whenever so disposed, an outgrowth of times when cham plona of popular rights had despotic monarchs to dread, was maintained for decades a a means ' solely of avoiding accountability toward the public and thus making the House It J I self In large measure despotic. Pro ceedings of the House could not be published without special. 'permission. Th majesty of the people was worn to out-face th House of Lords, but MLNOBUY STANDING PAT : (Continued from Page One). $ .f 1.00 II. M .W . the objects sought behind this front were often secret and selfish. Under such a wholesome dominating Influ ence as either of the Pitta exerted th House was largely purified of corrup tion and kept mindful of Its duties; but none th less power remained wirh the man In whom combined reasonable degree of royal favor and ability to command a parliamentary majority, the Tory weakness under the Whig-supported Hanoverian sov' erelgns having brought England for the time to almost a one-party sys tem and the people being largely un able to express themselves even when general elctions were not very, very far apart. The great orators of that period were almost purely parlia mentarians; they . did not . concern thepAaelves with popular oratory, whose time among modern nations wa yet to come. Now the people of the United Kingdom are not govern ed by their representatives but gov ern themselves through their rep resentatlves. Ambitious speeches In either house of Parliament would be considered mainly wasted If th pub lic were not to read about them. The Prime Minister Is still the man who ranks first In the House of Commons, but he holds that rank as the leader of his party and strongest before the people. England, in fact, has long had a much more direct form of pop ular government than the United States. Of course th telegraph and the railroad, which make the mod ern newspaper possible, have been everywhere bringing the people and their representatives Into closer and closer touch. Th American Co gress, the isriusn ana uerran x-ar- llaments and "-11 other legislative bodies now carry on their work In a great white light. It Is Indeed a far cry, though across but few generations, from the time when newspapers were punish ed for printing legislative proceed ings to the time when legislators con elder oratory wasted If newspaper are not present and attentive.

That rlrht ougni to rest in a courtnot In the executive.". ANTI-TRUST LEGISLATION. "The President's utterances con cernlng the anti-trust law are an In dlcatlon of his Inability to see that which will appear plain to a Demo cratic mind, to wit: That anything approximating a private monopoly is Intolerable and unendurable in a free government. His attemnt and that of otners to classify trusts as good trusts and bad trusts Is abhorrent. There ran be no such thing as a good trust. There may soma times be a good trust . magnat who uses his powers benevolently, but (he power is ' too much fraught with danger to be vest ed in a few men. We ought simply to provide that organization of labor ana of workingmen foe the purpose of securing shorter hours of labor or higher pay or more equitable treat ment, shall not be construed to fall within the Inhibition of any existing law. The President's idea of letting the substance part of the anti-trust law remain as it la, but giving to some branch of the executive government authority to determine when a trust Is a good trust and when It la a bad one In effect to license on and to restrain another -is so very vicious In its ultimate effects if adopted, that it would seem that no friend of a well ordered government could stand for it. "As to th President's proposition for tariff revision by consideration at the hands of a commission composed of members of the House and Senate and so-called 'experts,' it is both cumbersome and useless. . Th very heat nosslble tariff commission Is a commission consisting of the repre sentatives of the people selected by the people in the interest or me peo ple.

"Every plant must have Ha period of rest at some time In the year, and In our northern latitudes the winter is, of course, the most appropriate season. The evergreens generally re tain the greater part of their foliage during th winter, but a close exam ination shows that it dries to such an extent as to be really dead, and a large part of It falls off when the plants begin their spring; growth. The drying Is not peculiar to the fol iage. Tha branches and stem be come as dry as the foliage, and being almost entirely devoid of moisture are littl damaged by the . winter's cold. 'In some parts of the tropics, how ever, as in the highland of South ern Mexico and Central America,, th summer is the resting tlm of the trees. The Intense heat of the sun dries up th earth, th trees drop their leaves, the woody portions be come a dry as our evergreens In winter, and the tree takes Its rest un til the autumn rain begin.
