Cross of Cold "
With the bullion in a silver dollar
worth five cents more that the bul
lion in a gold dollar the cross of gold,
does not look so yellow and the crown
is not so thorny at it was, says
Bryau's Commoner.
Victor Berger, refused admittance to Congress again,
declares:
. ' ','This is one of the worst attacks on representative gov
ernment ever witnessed in this country. It is really a full
denial of the right of the people to elect the citizen as their
representative who is their choicer i.
Wrong as usual: .. . ,
Berger and his defenders make the fundamental mis
take of assuming that he has beeu-barred from membership
in Coneress because he is a Socialist. This is absurd. He
himself served a term in the House of Representatives as
a declared Socialist, without question. So did Meyer Lon
don of New York. What Berger.has .tje.ri. barred for is not
Socialism, but crime. ,
;-v Berger has been convicted qJ violating the federal
espionage Jaw, and giving aid and comfort to the enemv in
rime of war. and is out on bail.- awaiting sentence. The
House of Representatives, after a long and careful investi-
gafion, is almost unanimously convinced tnat ne naa a lair
trial and deserves puhfchnien Xhc House itself is consti
tutionally the sole judge of the qualifications of its members"
TTie House decides, logically enough, that it cannot admit
6 membership a man. who comes.to.it as a criminal, having
deliberately broken one of the" thosV important of its own
jrws, itd glorying in the fact. , ';'
'r? Berger's action has bee'nln itself a denial of the "repre
sentative government he professes to invoke. representa
tive government implies that the minority will obey the laws
T. j l-- -.t E Jr..: I J L..

: As' Tor th people of h'is district,, they, have deliberately
chosen to be represented by a man whonvCbngress cannot
accept, and so have chosen to go unrepresented at Wash
ington. Representative government wins, in. the fact that
the Milwaukee minority is not allowed to impose its wilj'on
all the rest of the country. .-. .... . !
No Dictorshlp Wanted
The American-government, natur
ally, does not want to be overthrown.
The American business system does
not want to be overthrown. What
is more important, the public does
not want them overthrown. And most
certainly the American people do not
want to live under a "dicstorship of
the proletariat,' like the Russians,
Instead of nling themselves accord
ing . to representative, democratic
methods. Baker Herald.

Cloture
The joy brought to the country by X
the invoking of the cloture rule in H

That is not democracy; it is a sur- Z

i Gun From Old -
.. Fighting Ship
i Before many days have passed the
campus at ihe University.. of Oregon
I will be able to boast of a rerfl man o'
: war gun to place among in other at
tractions, according to news received
, in a letter to President V. L. Camp
bell from Bear Admiral H. A. Field,
commandant of the Puget Sound navy
yard. The letter states that in com
pliance with requests from the head
of the University for a souvenir from
the battleship Oregon, they are send
ing one. of the smalled guns which
that ship mounted In the Spanish
American war. , ' .
The piece, which is rich in historical
interest, is to be suitably Inscribed by
the navy department and shipped pre
paid to the University. No particular
spot on the campus has been selected
for its erection as the size of the gun 1
is not known, and it was thought bet
ter to wait ant) see it before making
any definite decision. Register. - I
