TALK IN CONGRESS
Where Freedom of Speech Is a
Right Jealously Guarded.
MIGHT OF THE LOWER HOUSE
TK? Enormous Power It Wiold* by
Rmon of Its Onp Upon tho Purse of
the Nation? Abao'uW Democracy of
the of tbe Whole.
The how* of tvpreseuintlvea of the
people of (be Dotted States, ihf great
demos, the M?ur>e ol all |>ower. the
basis ii|H>n wbH-h the gre.-it super
?tructure of the government rests,
ilates back to the Magna Chart a, and
it.s immediate ancestor whs the first
(larllaincnt ot Henry 1V? In the fif
teenth century. In Henry's parliament
tbe representative> of the people es
ta bllsbed finally and forever that all
revenne bllla must originate In tbe
lower house, which should bold the
purse of tbe people and without which
not a wheel In the legislative. the ex
ecutive or tbe Judicial branch of tbe
government could turn.
It ts because of this parliament that
there Is tx> ways and means committee
in tbe senate and that when any treaty
ar commercial arrangement or any
thing Involving the payment of money
Is introduced, any appointment or legis
lation Is proposed, the bouse of repre
sentatives raises Its mlgbty hand and
settles the matter according to tbe
will of the people through their repre
sentatlves. for It can defeat any mens
ure or any person by merely dcclln j
Inn to appropriate tbe money necessary
to pay for that measure or person.
VVben this pwit committee on ways
and means presents lt,s business to tbe
house of representatives and tbe bouse
goes Into committee of tbe whole i
house on tbe state of (be Union the
assemblage at once resolves Itself Into
a body as alisoiutely democratic as the
Saxon Wltenacemot or the New En*
land town meeting Every symbol of
a popular assemblage Is religiously ob
served Tbe sjieaker leaves the chair,
and a chairman Is elects who Is not
tbe speaker Not even niuch as the
prestige of the reeiilsr presiding officer
la allowed to bam|*-r the freedom of
debate. Tlie speaker g<?'? down to tbe j
floor and has no more privileges than j
the most obscure nirttiN-r of the bnttse. j
Tl?e mace, tbe emblem of authority,
is put under the speaker'* table to
show that the house delllwrates with
out interference from anybody The
roape Is really a weapou. a stout wood
en stick with a metal bend, and used
to be the favorite weapon of fighting
priests of the middle ages. They were
forbidden by ecclesiastical law to use j
swords, but got around tbe law' by
using tbe mace, a terrible weapon,
against the armored men of tbe time.
In tbe choice of the mace as tbe type
of authority the idea of democracy
was rigidly carried out. In the early
days only a few men out of the whole
were authorised to wear swords, but
any and all of the people could use a
good stout stick, and so the weapon
of tlielr majesties the people was
chosen. tVben tbe speaker presides
and any members show signs of In
dulging In fisticuffs and will not obey
I he speakers gavel tbe sergeant at
arms or his deputy Is directed to "show
the mace." That functionary seirea
the mace and marches up to the offend
Ing member*, who are supposed to be
awed Info good behavior at sight of
tbls big stick
Not long aco. wnen mo memnera goi
into a row and It s?Vmed as If blows
were about to be exchanged. the
speaker promptly ordered the sergeant
at-arms to show them the roaoe. The
sergeant took the mace, marched np to
the two beillgvrent* and stood, mace
in hand, majestically, before them.
This. however, had not the slightest
effect, and the sergeant-flt-arms anx
iously Inquired of a member sitting
next. "What am I to do with the mace
now?"
To which the member responded 111 a
stage whisper. "Peck 'em on the head
with ?r
This suggestion brought down the
douse, and a roar of laughter and ap
plau.se followed, in which even the
belligerents wrre obliged to Join.
Iti general, however, before the mace
can be shown, the members rush lo
and separate men wliime tempers have
got the better of them, who bare ex
cbanged the lie or the blow that always
follows. Member* eticnglng in these
rows are always called before the bar
of the house and sternly reprimanded
by the speaker, who talks like a Dutch
uncle to them and calls them by name
Tills "naming" is the only time a mem
ber's name is used in debate. He is at
other times "the member from So and
?*>" or "the centlemnn from So-and-so."
These collisions rarely. If ever, occur
between members anywhere except on
the floor of the bouse Everything is
permitted in the freedom of debate,
cor ts a member held accountable out
side for anything he may say on the
floor. Through this freedom of speech
members saj things they would not
i dare to utter elsewhere. In the old
! days duels followed the exchange of
the He. and the Graves Cllley duel, the
John Randolph and nenry Clay duel
and many historical encounters took
place. But In the evolution of govern
ment the principle became firmly fixed
that there must be absolute freedom
of debate and that no man could be
held responsible ootsMe for anything
said on the floor of either house And
so the dueling practice was dropped in
| ooTgress long before public sentiment
I abolished it elsewhere. No libel suit
holds for anything anW In open debate,
and In every way the freedom of
| ?pnech Is Jealously rnarded and main

She Appeared Only
to a Child
By F. A. MiTCHEL
\V? lii America who hare outgrown
| ? belief in tli# supernatural are not tin
press?<l toy 1 1?< ????' legends that art Mill
In vogue among |>eoples nearer to na
tore, Science. while It baa advanced
us. has taken much of the Imagination
out of us, leaving us like the stalk!
from which tiowera have been (tripped
1 have rnvM those untutored |?er?ons
who atlll believe the dead may at
times mingle with the llrlng
While traveling In Kpaln I ato|<ped
for a few days In the province of I .a
Mancha. The pvasaa ? of the region
are much riven to Ipc?i??I? and bellave
in ghost*. I wmm walking ihrougli a
valley one dnv w lion I ciiine to a little
chun h surTuttiHlcd by tlie typical yard
Minified vrllh tonilwtones. I went
through the gale and came n|>on the
sexton. who was digging a crave. It
was a peaceful place, n hamlet of the
dead, "each im Ilia narrow cell." and I
found tn.vaelf regarding It aa such
rather than that the bea|<ed mounds
should cover only earth. I *p.?ke to the
sexton, who got out of the grave to
answer certain question* I asked him.
"L>o you believe the dead ever come
out of their grave* and walk about
herer
"I hare seen them myself, aenor,"
he replied.
"In what form?"
"Of a moonlight tiiirht I hare seen
airy figures moving about among the
tombs."
"Near by or from a distance T'
"From a distance. They are ahy of
us mortals."
"Don't yon think what j on ?ay you
have seen weire rays of moonlight com
ing through the branches of the trees?"
"Oh. no. aenor." he replied. "They
are really th? dead. Bat It 1* of no
use to try to get near them, for aa aoon
as mortals approach they become In
visible."
"Are there rao persons they will per i
mit to approach the??'
Now, I asked the question with a
purpose, for I confess I am not a dis
believer In communications between j
the living and the dead and have a be- i
lief in the theory that some persons are
susceptible of lielng Impressed by splr
Its-in other won!*, are mediums.
The man leaned on his spnde and ap
pea red to be thinking. The southern
sun glided his wrinkled brow as he j
framed his reply, and it occurred to me
that he would make a fine model for
nn artist.
"The only p?T?ons I have ever known
them to ap|H>ar to In their human j
shapes are children. There Is one per
son burled here?a woman?who will
always manlfeat herself to a child
They say. senor, that she lost all of
her children l>efore they reached the
age of twelve. If a child comes here
she will arise from her grave and alt
upon the tomb bnilt over It and look at
the little one wistfully."
This was something definite, and I
became Interested "Will she permit a
child to approach her?" 1 asked.
"The children who hare seen her say
that as they approach she fades away
and when they get to the tomb there Is
no one there."
"I>o the children only aee her when
they are here nloneV
"Children nit1 never here alone. They
are not admitted when alone If they
come it is under the care of older per
sons."
"Anil tlo tlie older persons nee mm
spirit ?**
"No. senor; they do not.**
"I cannot believe your story, bat 1
Admit there is something about It that
appals to me."
"If senor will bring a rMM he will
Ik? convinced." 9
That would be easy. I was traveling
with a party of Americans, among
whom were several children. I could
easily brine on<? of them to the church
yard. I chatted for some time longer
with the sexton; then, putting a piece
of money in hl? hand and telling him I
would be with him the next afternoon.
I left him.
There was a boy of seven in our
party, a delicately organlted little fel
low. and 1 asked him the next day
to go to walk with me. He gladly ab
sented. and I took him to the ehnreh
yard. The sexton was there putting
supports under some of the tottering
stones, and I chatted with him while
the boy played among the tombs. I
kept my eye on the child and presently
saw him looking In the direction of
the tomb of thi? lady who appeared to
children. Then he t>egan to move
slowly toward It The sexton noticed
him and gave me a knowing look. The
boy kept his. eye fixed on the tomb
and approached It with timM steps.
When he came near It he paused.
Then presently he turned and retraced
his steps.
"Why did yon go to that tomb?" I
asked him.
"Because 1 sitw a lady sitting on It
who beckoned me to come to her. But
when I got to the tomb she wasn't
there."
"What becam? of her!*"
"I don't know."
?What did she look like?"
"I thought hf<r a kind looking lady,
?nd It seemed as If she wanted to tak?
tie In her arms and pet me."
"Hid you ever see her before?"
"No."
"Yon see." siild the sexton. "*t did
not tell yon an untruth."
Nor dW he to the best of my knowl
edge and belief I do not expeet others
lo believe that fhe boy saw a spirit,
hut for my*elf bow can I help It?
