PLEDGED BEYOND ESCAPE B Realized Too Late Effect of Alli ance With Ioaarfents and Mast ' Airldo Consequences or Bee Btvsl Carry Off Prtse. OREGON! AX XETVS BTREAC, Wash ington. Nor. 14. The Speakership of the National House of Representatives fcas Ions been the second most Impor tant office In the United Stales Gov ernment, measured by the power of the Incumbent. The President alone has Bad greater power than the presiding officer of the House of Representatives. With the passing of Speaker Cannon, the high office be now holds will drop from Us exacted position and take rank below the Vlpe-Presldency. which Is rated after all the Cabinet portfolios, rare In one respect, viz: that the Vlce iTesldent fcecorocs President In the event of the dath or disability of the fceai of the Nation. I'hinp Clark, of Missouri, therefore, erhea he becomes Speaker of the next House, will not be the conspicuous nor the powerful factor that Joseph G. Can Bon has been under the Republican re adme. He wl!l be to the House exactly sjrhat the Vice-President ! to the Sen ate, a presiding; officer and nothing snore. For a situation has arisen which ' will trtn about th f irther amend ment of the rules of the House; amend ment wl.i-h will deprive the Speaker of the powers that hxve made past In cumbents of that office mlrhty. And Clark has been forced by circumstances to declare In faror of those Identical amendments. To do . otherwise now cjH be to deprive himself of the Fpeakershlp. Too Late to Draw Back. ChaTp Clark Is not the shrewdest ro'ltirtan In the House of Representa tives nor the most far-sighted. Had he been, he would not have formed the al liance he did with the Republican In surgents at the beriming of the pres ent Congress to rob the Spek-r of his power and generally reorganize the House rules. Rut when the Insurgents e'arted tfcelr f'ght on Cannon. Clark thought he saw a splerdM opportunity to put the Republican orvanlzatlon ln bad" and Incidentally make political capital for t::e Itemocrats. so he lined tn the Democratic merrbers of the lloute. al!lel t.iem with the Insurgents. sn1 went afer Ca.-inn. When the f'ght waa half won and when the Er-eaicrr had been taken off the com xr.tttee on rules. Clark beran to realise that the Democrats stood a mighty good frame of carrying the next House ef Representatives arid, once that Idea percolated through his brain, he lost all Interest In tne further revision of the Flouse rules particularly revision which would take away the remaining power of the Speaker. The Insurgents wanted to go ahead and finish up writ Itifr hsd started, for with solid 7emocrat!c. support thev had enough Totes even to oust Cannon from the Fpesker's rhalr. but Clark refused to b:dg. and reform stopped In the mid dle of the past session. It turns out. however, that Clark did not stop soon enough: he started some thing which he must now follow to the very end; he cannot turn back, though lie would. For Clark has learned very recently that In order to land the Speakership of the next House lie must proceed with the revision of the rules, take away from the Speaker the power of appointing committees, and otherwise rob that officer of his distinctive powers not already shorn by the Insurgents. This Is because : lany of the Democrats who followed Clark when he first lined up with the Insur gents are now thoroughly Imbued with the Idea that the Speaker of the House must be nothing more than a presiding officer and. unless Clark is willing to amend the rules according to the orig inal programme, he cannot hava the support of these Democrats for tut Speakership. Cannon May Oct Revenge. This Is another case where eMeirens kave come borne to roost. Clark In the Past session joined with the insurgents to make Speaker Cannon a mere figure head, now Clark must agree, npon en tering the Speaker's chair, to be noth ing more than a figurehead, or else these same Insurgents with whom he formed an alliance a year ago will Join with "progressive Democrats' and pre . Vent Clark's election as Speaker. Should Clark now balk at carrying out the plan of revising the House rules, he probably would nnd arrayed against him not only a considerable element of the Democratic membership ef the House and tue Republican In surgents, but a very large scattering of regular Republicans, who. for spite, would take great glee In demolishing the remaining power of the Speaker, Inasmuch as the next Speaker Is to be a Democrat. Probably "Uncle Joe" Can non, as a mere member of the floor of the House, would lend himself to such a scheme, now that It Is certain he ran never again be Speaker of the House. Rivals Appear on Scene. It so happens that Clark. In the clos ing days of the campaign awoke to the fact that he must advocate fur ther revision of the House rules In order to Insure his Own election as Speaker. He discovered other Demo crats ready to lay claim to ths Speak ership In rase he did not take such a etar.d. and evidently be feared that some one among them might defeat Mm In the Democratic caucus If he re fused to stand by the principles he laid down while fighting Cannon. So he ras declared himself for further re vision of the rules, for the further cur tailment of the power of the Speaker, and for the distribution of committee places by the members of the House rather thsn by the Speaker. Vnder such circumstances Clark will derive no such satisfaction out of the office as fell to the lot of Cannon. Hender son. Reed and Crisp. Ths Speakership, after March . will be a comparatively wnlmportaat office, so far as power and authority are concerned. It Is barely possible that the com pletion of the task of revising ths Hons rales may be accomplished dur ing ths short session by combined Democratic and Insurgent votes: It Is quite possible that Clark himself may favor tMs plan. Then, when the Demo cratic House organises In December, ltl. It need only readopt the rules that' prevailed during the short terra cf the present Congress and spare iark the erabarrasament of curtailing bis owa yaiK wUh tia wa garty v : . ;-a-v v 1 u' v. , l f i I ssangg ' .iff" ' .'

Or., Nov. 13. (To the Editor.) A statement printed In The Oregonlan of last' Thursday on "Raising Postal Rates'" Is certainly praise worthy, especially as to the parcel post. There Is no legislation that would ben efit whole people so much as a gen eral parcel post. It would not only be a convenience to the public, but would cut a considerable slice off the high cost of living. Mr. Wanamaker's "four reasons" why we can not have parcel post Is not complimentary to our Representatives in Congress, knowing, as they do, that the people want and need it. L. A. MICHELS. Dullbovs!
