BRINGING GOVERNMENT CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE
Somo little discussion is going the rounds concerning
the rule of cloture which tho Commoner, Mr. Bryan's
paper, is stongly advocating. A rule by which the ma
jority will be enabled to close debate and bring a question
to the vote is advocated by the Commoner as a final
measure for placing the people in prompt touch with leg
islative'progress.
This does not mean, says the Commoner, that there
shall not be all the time necessary for discussion, but that
there shall be Borne means within reach of the majority
for cutting out the obstructions of debate and securing a
vote.
t, The contention is that the rules of the senate arc
built upon the aristocratic theory that there is more intel
ligence and patriotism in an obstructive minority than in
a progressive majority, and the editorial in the Com
moner points out that "as every measure has to pass the
senate, as well as the house, reforms in other legislative
methods largely lose their power to aid so long as this
one barrier remains. As a chain is no stronger than its
weakest link, so government, no matter how popular in
other respects, is obstructed by limitations, restrictions
and restraints that still remain. The hour is ripe for the
completion of the work which the voters have undertaken
—let the people rule.”
Of course, the difficulty lies in finding a way to safe
guard sufficient debate and to prevent this measure from
beooming a tyrannous tool in the hands of a headstrong
majority. At the same time, the country gains nothing by
a change of party when the policies of that party cannot
be put into action without tedious delays and time killing
obstructions and some way should be opened by which
business can be done in Washington with greater ef
ficiency and less loss of time and money.
Now that our own party has the majority nothing is
more natural than our recognition of the injustice of meet
ing obstructions at every possible point. The hope of the
opposition is centered in preventing and delaying legisla
tion. “They were able," says the Commoner, "to un
necessarily prolong the debate on the tariff bill—the de
lay being worth an enormous sum to the tariff barons.
They were able, also, to unnecessarily prolong the debate
on the money question—thus embarrassing business and
oausing a great loss to the country. And whilo they were
delaying action on both these measures, they were making
it impossible for action to be takes on any other measure,
however important."
But we need not overlook the fact that the Republican
party, should it return to office, would put its measures
into law under a Republican majority with the same free
dom from delay and obstruction which the Democrats
would now enjoy.
Each party, by quickly carrying through its policies,
would, however, stand squarely before the public to be
judged by its acts. The people/ by watching and realising
the more swift and complete expression of party principles
in legislation, would comprehend the problems and ma
chinery of government more clearly and realize more fully
their responsibilities in voting.
Of course, we might expect—at least for a decade or
two—many ups and downs, much easy building and much
prompt tearing out, but by these things the public learns
to think and feel with restraint and conservatism. Im
pulse teaches its own lesson, when permitted to work it
self out. and discretion awaits the return of the pendulum
at the opposite side.
Surely, if we are to have popular government at all,
we want to give it a chance to develop. The greatest
need of so-called popular governments is the need to have
the people see and feel the causes and effects of their de
cisions. This is almost impossible when the party in power
is obstructed by long delays and held back by many checks
and restraints.
There is more to lose by shutting down on action than
by allowing either party to make headway in its policies
when the people choose give it the responsibility of office.

FOOLHARDY, SAYS
ORVILLE WRIGHT
Pioneer in Airplanes Declares
Trans-Atlantic Trip, at Pres*
ent Time, Out of Question.
Cincinnati, O. —"A trann-Atlentlc
trip In an aeroplane la at tha present
I time Impracticable.
"It would be foolhardy for an avia
tor to try tbla trip with the engine
now uaed In aeroplane*.''
Thua Orville Wright, one of the pio
neer builders of "heavler-than air"
machines answered the question her*
today as to whether he would enter
the ilits with other aviator* who de
clare that they will try a trip across
the Atlantic.
"The machines as hey are now con
stituted have not the staying powers
required for a voyage of this length
and tinder no circumstances will the
engine* hold out under the continu
ous strain of such a Journey.
Not Heavy Enough.
“The engines are not heavy
enough,” continued Mr Wright, "to
stand the conatant shock and vibra
tion without a reat. I do not doubt
that the trip could be made with cage
If one or two resting places were pro
vided on the way. Hut of course this
is not the plan and I cannot believe
that an aviator who knows the game
well would risk his life In an under
taking of this kind. Efforts have
been made to cover the same distance
on land and have failed.”
