By THOH.IS JT. PENCE.
Washington, D. C, April . Ths
bemocrats and ths insurgents got
busy in the Hout today and by out
voting the Cannonltes, did much to
wards whipping the railway bill Into
shape. It a a the largest piece of con
ntructlv legislation that ths House
baa been permitted to discuss and per
fect through amendments In many
Sears. Cnder ths old reglms of com
plete domination by Speaker Cannon
and his machine, such a bill would
not have been Intrusted to the Intel
ligence uf the House, but whipped
Into shae a the organisation want
ed It and then sent to ths House un
tier a rule that would hve limited
debate and ahut out all amendment.
The action of ths Insurgents In lining
tip with Democrat, smashed the Can
oa machinery and ths result 1 the
fullest opportunity for amendment
and discussion of the Important mess
urvs. Ths s4ion of the House to
day demonstrates the falsity of Speak- j
er Cannon's contention that the House
la too Jorge and unwieldy a body to
perfect important tesialation Ths
terrible hammeriug which the vicious
phi naa reoelved at the linn da of the
insurgents and D-niocrsU In the "en
