"I hit him In the list with ray face and knocked myself down." Of course the quarrel of congress with President Roosevelt easily takes rank far above any. other event of recent date ln news importance as well as in real significance. Another thing stnnned the country the president's attack on Senator Ben jamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina and the giving out of certain facts per taining to Senator Tillman's recent connection with prospective purchases of lands now held by a wagon road company under cougresslonal 'grant. Tragic as may have been the sudden smirching of the standing of a federal senator hitherto unquestioned as to probity, the relationship between the congress and the chief executive de mands attention not only by every writer of politics, but by every citizen who loves bis native land and who earnestly wishes to witness strength ening or tiie popular government ( Shortcomings of Congress. First there are some bald, bare fact to doubt which would be but to deni onstrate failure properly to discern contemporary events. The congress is not ln gocd repute with the masses The Incumbent president is ln good re pute with the masses. The people, or a majority of them, believe Mr. Keosc velt is for them. They believe with equal depth of conviction that the con gress Is for the "interests." Not all congressmen or nil senators, but the majority, the governing forces of both J and the people through them voiced corporations have grown to mountains of iniquity. . Yet the congress has sat supinely inert, a corporation control led senator "bossing" the great and. dignified senate, and a dictatorial, ty rannical, reactionary congressman has headed a coterie of half a dozen who, following his commands as speaker, have literally owned the house.

That magnificent patriots adorn both houses all honest men hasten to admit. That subeellar governors of congres sional activities have dominated In the ultimate results obtained from the con gress all thoughtful men must con cede.
