are set down as re

That's the. point sympathies.
Sympathies are not likely to jro verv
uiueli in this mutter. Five of the six
may be in their sympathies republi
can, to beat the band, and still the
democrats may bring home the ba
con. What will decide, is power, oppor
tunity, the goods, the real thiji!;, and
the democrats have both bauds full
of these and the republicans have
nothing. Even if they could organ
ize the bouse they wouldn't have n
trick. The democrats have the sen
nte and the presidency. According to
the ancient rules of the frame, there
fore, and the political Hoyle, there
would bo nothing doing that the dem
ocrats don't want.
Tublic Doesn't Cure
The odd thine is that to (lie nation
it makes no difference, either way.
liepublicau house or democratic
house the people at large do not
care.
They are'too wise lo care.
Suppose we have a republican
bouse. There will be about three
bills (unimportant) thai you uiisht
call, democratic' party measures and
about three (unimportant ) that you
int!ht call rontiblicuir party measures.
Oifo set will get Ihroiurh the senala
and not the house; the other set will
ret through the bouse (maybe) and
not the senate; and the country will
neither know nor care, and every
thing will go on just the same.
All the important hills appropria
tion, defense, finance, national im
provement, will go llirnuLih as they
would if both houses were ileiuiK-rntie
or as they would if the whole shoot
ing match were republican.
jd'ovei'iied by Ideas
I have been keeping tab tin con
gress a great many years now and it
(seems so long since I have seen a.
strictly party vote in either house
that it makes me feel old to recall
it along with oilier dim scenes of
my childhood.
The fact is. and it is one of the
greatest facts in all oar history anil
all our affairs, thi country is not
governed by parlies.
It is governed by ideas
We have no parly aovcriiineiil here
and have had in since the fiftieth
congress, anyway.
In those old days when I used to
see. Tom Kced make a iinram by
wagiliii" the handle of his gavel and
jam every bill through in the teeth of
the bitter .'opposition of the demo
crats be walked over, thiag were dif
ferent. Yiin iiuLihl well have said
thill that we had parly government
Hut Hint's all deed and gone now.
There is now no particular obligation
to parly loyalty, no parly responsi
bility and very little party fetich wor
ship. No Partisan Divisions
Here is one more point wherein we
differ completely, radically and per
manently from conditions in Great
Hiitain.' Party feeling in Great lirit
ain runs In a denth of bitterness ut
terly unknown in this country r.t any
time in this "eneratioii. and strange
and disastrous things come out of it.

classed as republicans who, on vital
measures, vote with a democratic
majority more often than with a re
publican minority. I have seeti sftch
men, with long records of whal might
be called violations of narlv fealtv
(if -there were any such thing) go
home and receive thundering endorse
ments from voters classed as repub
lican.
The old curse of parti.-anism is
passing lrmn tins country. Today
it is almost gone. Very few men that
ivn to a thinking apparatus in which
they have any I'ujhh are now afflicted
with the parlisau hug.- Juilgnienl
and reason ure taking the places of
party passion.
Look at the lust election. There
never was one in this country in
.which the independent voter wrought
such havoc with the whole parly sys
tem. He just took his little vole in
hand and wenl out and I uracil things
over lo sail himself. Harty loyalty
sat very lightly on his .shoulders as
ic thrust his good old crowbar into
the works. Democratic on president,
republican on go ernor. republican
on president, democratic on -enator;
republican on con;;ic.-.s. any old Ihing
on local office -that U the way the
returns look in state., that a few
years ago were counted in blocks.
Partisanship in tlio Discard.
'fbe nation has beconie intelligent
and sophisticated. II know now that
the sheep and goals idea !oe.-,u't win !.;
In public affairs. That all the good
men in the country belong to one
party anil all 'the bad men to the
other is a little too much for Ameri
can common scn-.e. They may still
believe that .rubbish ill Kugland, but
it is out of date here.
Also, you can't believe now that
any party governs.
Ideas govern. Parlies and party
divisions are becoming more or les
nominal distinction.-, for the cotivcn-
ien f those that make politics a
business.
Come, view in the complete re
turns, old puny frenzy lying in li.e
discard. Never v.'a- a place he was
mi well titled to :.d"in.

to the ancient rules of the game,
therefore, and the political "Hoyle.
there would be nothing' doing that the

RUMANIAMS ARE SILENT
UPON RECENT REVERSES
LONDON, Dec. S. The Rumanian
government still withholds announce
ment regarding Hie latest events. The
only news available respecting the
'Rumanian situation conies from Rn
mania's enemies.
Pending further information, the
'London morning papers print second
thoughts oa the central powers' suc
cesses by the military critics and edi
torial writers. The gist of these opln
Ions Ik that, while it would bo useless
to seek to attenuate the moral ad
vantage and considerable accession of
useful supplies obtained by tho cen
Iral powers, it would be easy to ex
aggerate the evil consequences for
the entente. Expressions of certain
Herman newspapers quoted show that
the Informed people of Germany real
i.e that their triumph. In Rumania
lias very definite limitations.
Among those things which, It Is
contended here, materially qualify
the successes of the central powers Is
the fact that liucharest voluntnrll
surrendered. The main bulk ot the
Rumanian army, so far as is known
is intact. Tho losses the Germans
uffered front the stubborn resistance
of. tho Rumanians, it.is pointed out
