Washington.—The country has made
It plain that the effort of the Cannon
Organization to make fealty to It a
test of party loyalty meets with no response from the public. This has already compelled the organization to
abandon its proposition that party
regularity should be tested by the
vote of a member upon the election of
the Speaker and the adoption of the
rules. It was then proposed that party
regularity be determined by the votes
of members upon the administration's
lative program. This has been
subjected to the acid test and found
wanting.
The bill providing federal charters
for corporations engaged in Interstate
commerce and ship subsidy were included in the program. It is now announced support of these bill Is not
necessary in order to maintain party
regularity.
But the withdrawal of these measures does not solve the difficulties
which the program presents, as It is
announced that the Republican members, If they wish to be regarded a3
Republicans, must vote for the conservation bills prepared by Mr. Ballinger, without amendment; for the
railroad regulation bill prepared by
Mr. Wlckershaot, and without amendment. They must also vote for the
statehood bill for Arizona and New
Mexico and for postal savings banks.
This amended program Is no more
ble than the first put forth by
Cannon-Aldrlch  organization.
Not a Test of Loyalty.
The railroad bill should be amended. The Progressives will fight for
changes to strengthen it. What they
will do if It Is not amended Is not
certain. It contains some positively
bad provisions—steps Backward,   The
but It was given through • the announcement of the purpose of the Cannon organization to participate in the
campaign ln the districts re
by Progressive Republicans and make
a fight against their nomination.
The Progressives welcome this opposition. They know the value of tho
enmity of Cannonism anfi that the literature which the Cannon organization will send into their districts calling for their defeat will have the opposite result.
Forestry Policy Safe.
President Taft gave evidence of the
good Intentions which he has to car-
| ry out the conservation policy of the
i government   by   the   appointment   of
I Prof. Henry S. Graves to succeeed Glf-
ford  Pinchot, and  by sending to con-
I gress a speclaJ message making deli-
j nlte  recommendations  for  the  enactment of advanced  conservation  laws.
The new forester was trained under
Mr. Pinchot.    He is an earnest advocate of the policies of the former forester.     His  appointment   assured   the
public that these policies will be continued, and the forestry service ln the
future,  as .it  has  been   ln   the  past,
will be aggressively on the side of the
people and  against the  special  interests that strive to control  tho  country's natural resources.
In so far as the president's message
has a bearing upon the Ballinger-l'in-
chot controversy and gives to the secretary of the interior the credit for
j the position which the president assumes, it is a disappointment, for the
fact Is that the secretary of the Interior has adopted as his own sug-
ieens recommendations made by
Mr. Pinchot long before Mr. Ballinger
had given attention to conservation
matters.
Insurgents Score Again.
In compelling the Cannon-Aldrlch
organization to recogr.ize that they
and the Democrats must be consulted
as to the membership of the co
tee to investigate the interior department and forestry bureau, the Insurgents won a second victory over the
house machine.
An effort was maele to make it appear that the Insurgents had surrendered. They did nothing of tho kind.
The content of Insurgent congressmen
to enter a caucus for the selection of
the Republican members of the investigating committee did not mean the
; giving up the fif/iit upon Cannon and
1 the rules nor, so far as tho Pregres-
slves are concerned, does It mean that
there shall be no attempt to better
legislation proposed to carry out the
party's pledges.
Although It was stated that the
agreement  made  with-   reference    to

positively bad provisions. At that
time Progressives attempted to
strengthen it by supplying the omission, but falling they nevertheless
voted for the measure, as it was a
■tep in sdvance. It Is not certain that
tho Wiekersham bill can be placed in
the same category. Indeed, a casual ;
reading makes it appear that some of j
Its provisions are so gross that they
may overthrow all of its good. If

just i six o'clock   to   put

Mr. Mondell, a part of the house organization, has already declared hlm-
gard to caucuses upon legislation, it
should be definitely understood this
was not the case. Representative
Hayes had no authority to bind the
Insurgents in any way except ln the
matter of naming the members of the
investigating  committee.
Insist on Fair Committee.
The understanding between the Insurgents and the Democrats was to
the effect that the Democrats should
be permitted to name their own members upon the committee and that the
Republicans should name theirs. The
understanding between the Insurgents
and the organization Republicans was
that there should be a fair committee

No Caucus Legislation.
This discussion brought up the
whole Question of the uses of the caucus. Progressives contend there should
be no caucus upon matters of legislation. Legislation Is a matter between
tho representative, his conscience and
his constituency. If bills are to be put
through under the party lash and to
be accepted without amendments as
they may be agreed to In the party
caucus, the effect would be to render
the legislative branch of government
tative than it is at
the present. The Progressives will
not permit this to be done. They make
a clear distinction between a party
us for the purpose of electing
resentativea and a party caucus for t!ie> purpose of enacting legislation. They can conscientiously at-
tend   the   one.   they   cannot   in   good
