*asr "Men are but children of a larg
er growth." One is forcibly reminded
of this when considering some of the
differences between the national sen
ate and the house of representatives,
differences which have more than once
been the cause of much injustice to
the people and have resulted in ap
parently needless expense. The sen
ate has'been termed the leading delib
erative body in the world and the
house seems to pride itself upon its
ability to quickly dispatch business.
Thus one body counteracts the other.
The house was not always the busi
nesslike organization it is at present
and many remember when it took as
long to dispose of legislation in that
body as in the senate but that was
before Hon. Tom Reed was speaker.
When the Maine statesman took the
helm what is known as the Reed rules
were adopted, which so increased the
power of the speaker that it practically
made him an autocrat and the ordi
nary member of little consequence in
dividually. From an unwieldy deliber
ative body the house became a rapid
fire bill dispatcher and maker. The
speaker gained prestige but the bouse
lost standing in the opinion of many.
The senate, being a comparatively
small body—with only about one
fourth the membership ofthe house—
before the inauguration of hurry-up
methods in the latter, disposed of leg
islation with greater facility than the
popular body, despite the fact that in
the senate there has practically been
no limit to debate. In the house it
is ntf longer possible to talk a bill to
death The senate has developed some
long-winded debaters and measures do
not fare as well there as a rule. The
cloture rule has been a subject of much
debate in the senate as well as in the
house. The lower body is evidently
more anxious that the senate limit de
bate than the uper body. The house
complains {hat the senate holds up the
appropriation measures until the last
few days of the session and then com
pells the house to accede to its de
mands. The house wants that method
of procedure stopped and under the
leadership of Speaker Cannon pro
poses to force a change if possible.
The senate terms the action of the
house an unwarranted attempt to dic-r
tate to the upper body. It is not dif
ficult to see where the people don't
come in white a struggle of this char
acter is going on. The house quickly
disposed of the Cuban reciprocity
measure, but the senate concluded to
lay the matter over and desired the
lower body to agree to an adjourn
ment until the regular session. The
house desired the responsibility for
delaying action to rest with the senate
and refused to lake the initiative.

Between now and New-years
ought to be and is the best part of the
year, for during that period if ever
come those thoughts which have their
fruition in boundless works Of love.
A month is not too long for the
Christmas spirit to dominate among
any people. In proportion as the in
dividual is favorably affected by the
present customs and traditions cling
ing to the holidays at this period is
it probable that the remainder of the
year will be full of broad meaning to
him. Do people toil in patience and
hope the greater portion of the year
that they may the better enjoy the
holiday period? Or are the holiday
influences a predominating factor in
invigorating progressive enterprise
during the other eleven months? Per
haps they are complementary. It may
be said that one's attitude toward the
holiday functions is determined largely
by the amount of this world's goods
he possesses. That is not
true as a general principle.
It is as natural for the poverty strick
en to be happy at this period as for
the wealthy. Riches as commonly de
fined have little to do with the holiday
spirit. The person who has the where
withal to supply all things -which
money can buy, both for himself and
others, has no advantage over the in
dividual who is compelled to toil daily
to provide for the necessities of life.
What is, or ought to be the dominant
holiday spirit? Love—not self love,
but active unselfishness—thoiightful
ness for others without respect of per
sons. That is the true Christmas
spirit and it must be implanted in the
heart and shine forth in unselfish
deeds to insure the noblest happiness.
During the holiday period -that spirit
is exemplified more than at any other
time. Isn't it worth while?
S^'It is said Senator Quay's oppo
sition to Senator McCumber's irriga
tion measure will kill it. That may
prove true but the public will probably
know the reason and it'#, jvorthrwhii«

SICK OF THE WEST.
LaMoure Chronicle: The Chronicle
is able to state upon very good au
thority that those former LaMoure
County farmers who sold out here last
year or the year before and moved to
Washington or Oregon or California,
are heartily sick of their bargain. They
find the western climate far less health
ful and agreeable, on the whole, than
the splendid, invigorating climate of
North Dakota nor are they doing as
well, financially, as they did here. Sev
eral of them, to our knowledge, are
endeavoring to dispos,e of their prop
erty, and when they do so they wijU
return to LaMoure County.
SENTENCE'TOO LIGHT
Kulm Messenger: The punishment
metqd out to Riedlinger, the fourth of
the Rott murderers to be tried, by a
Dickey County jury last week, falls
far short of fair measure. The fact
that the combined sentence of the four
men already tried is but seven years,
is a bitter pill for the relatives and
friends of the murdered man to swal
low, and a stinging rebuke to justice.
To show us that human life is held at
so little value will not lessen the al
ready increasing list of homicides in
this state.
Nearly all of our readers are fami
liar with the details of this horrible
crime, upon which The Messenger has
so valiantly fought to throw the light
of publicity, and thus secure the con
viction of Christ Rott's slayers, and
although our efforts have not been
highly successful, neither have they
been barren of results.
President Roosevelt said, in a re
cent speech:
"We have to depend upon the jury
drawn from the people to convict the
scoundrel, and unless that jury does
its duty, unless it is backed by the pub
lic sentiment of the people, all the
work of legislator, of executive officer,
of judicial officer, is for naught."
Which is all very true. The trouble
is that the jury fails to do its duty
nine times out of ten. They have too
much sympathy for the bad live man
and too little for the good dead man.

THE FARG0 PORTTM AND DAILY BEFUBLICAUT, SATURDAY EVEST^G, DECEMBER
Thus the extra session accomplishes
practically nothing in the way of ac
tual legislation and there is no telling
when the Cuban reciprocity measure,
to dispose of which the session was
called, will become a law., The senate
seems to be defying the president and
the house because of a matter of its
dignity. It will brook no interference.
Thus far the senate has maintained
supremacy and it not disposed to com
promise. While the two houses are
fighting it out the public can look on
and legislation can wait., Perhaps it
is just as well. Anyway the house has
spunk.

.STREET STORIES.
Two young married men*, one resid
ing in Fargo and the other at Grand
Forks, are constantly boosting the
good points of their respective cities
and pointing out the shortcoming of
the other's home town. Neither miss
es an opportunity to give a boost or
a knock when it is afforded.
The Grand Forks man is the proud
possessor of a fine ten-pound boy
baby, only about a week old, and that
baby is responsible' for the Fargoan's
latest slam at the village up the way.
The morning of the baby's birth the
Grand Forks man sent this telegram
to the Fargo man:
"Better come to Grand Forks. §ot
a fine ten-pound boy."
Now the Fargoan has no child, and1
therefore the Grand Forks man
thought he "had one" on his friend in
this city. The Fargoan, however, got
back at his Grand Forks friend by
sending this message in reply:
"Name him Fargo and watch him
grow."
Recently a minister was in the coun
ty jail having a talk with the prison
ers. He is a kind-hearted gentleman,
and he wandered about shaking hands
with the unfortunates, at the same
time giving each a word of encourage
ment.
Finally the minister reached a cell
where he found a darkey doing some
work. As it was Sunday the minister
asked him why he was working on
that day. The darkey replied that the
work had to be done and that he
thought he would do it when he had a
good opportunity.
"How long will you be here," ask
ed the man in ministerial garb.
"Well, I dunno, boss," replied the
colored fellow continuing his work.
"Do you think it will be long?"
"No, I guess not, boss.",
"Are you serving time for disorder
ly conduct?"
The darkey drew himself up to his
full height, and replied with consider
able dignity:
"No, sah, I'se no common cHmirial:
I'se a highway robber."
"Seems to me that man Hamlet's
about written himself out,' said the dry
goods clerk with the satin vest and
complacent air as he approached a
fellow worker who was waiting on a
bevy of school girls.
"Huh?" said the clerk approached.
"Why-er Hamlet, you know—the fel
low who wrote Shakespeare and—and
Ivanhoe—and-er-all those things,"
said the other as he realized too late
that he had broached a subject on
which his fellow salesman might be
posted after all.
"Hamlet write Shakespeare? Great
Scott, man, are you crazy?"
"Who did write it then? Any way
Hamlet's writing too much lately, and
that's all there is to it. Nice day,
isn't it?" said the speaker wishing to
change the subject.
"Why man how can one novel write
another? Hamlet and Shakespeare
were both written by Goethe-er-er-it
might have been Milton—it was one
of those blamed French novelists any
way," he added defiantly. "Yes 'tis a
nice day. Wonder if it's going to
snow?"
And both constrainedly discussed
the atmosphere, trying meanwhile to
ignore the hysteric giggly ,qf, the
school girls at the counter*-
"Give me three balcony
please," said a feminine voice at the
box office of the operahouse tlie other
night.
"Here you. are—fourth row center,"
replied the taken of the coin.
"How much are they?"
With that the feminine ticket pur
chaser hiked herself with the "two
brats'" up the balcony stairs.
The two brats were not what the
term would imply, but were two grown
young women.
