  Thomas Brackett Reed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Brackett Reed (October 18, 1839 – December 7, 1902) was a U.S. Representative from Maine, and Speaker of the House from 1889–1891 and from 1895–1899.
Reed gained the support of young Theodore Roosevelt, whose influence with the newly elected delegate from the Dakota territories was the decisive factor.
Reed set out to put into practical effect his dictum that "The best system is to have one party govern and the other party watch"; this was accomplished by carefully studying the existing procedures of the U.S. House, most dating to the original designs written by Thomas Jefferson.

 Bio of Thomas B. Reed
Reed was re-elected to the Legislature of 1869, and in 1870 the Republicans of Cumberland County promoted him to a seat in the State Senate.
Reed was still serving the city of Portland as its Solicitor, when the election of 1876 approached for the choice of members of the Forty-fifth Congress, which was to assemble in December, 1877.
Reed's attachment to the city of his birth is sincere and strong; and whenever public duties do not call him away, he is to be found at his office or his home in Portland.

 Thomas Brackett Reed - LoveToKnow 1911
THOMAS BRACKETT REED (1839-1902),1902), American statesman, was born in Portland, Maine, on the 18th of October 1839.
The "Reed Rules," drawn up by him, William McKinley and J. Cannon, were adopted on the 14th of February 1890; they provided that every member must vote, unless pecuniarily interested in a measure, that members present and not voting may be counted for a quorum, and that no dilatory motion be entertained by the speaker.
Reed was a remarkable personality, of whom many good stories were told, and opinions varied as to his conduct in the chair; but he was essentially a man of rugged honesty and power, whose death was a loss to American public life.

 Thomas Aquinas, Saint - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In art St. Thomas is usually associated with a sacramental cup (representing his devotion to the sacrament) or a dove (representing the inspiration of the Holy Spirit) or depicted with a sun on his breast.
Thomas held that reason and faith constitute two harmonious realms in which the truths of faith complement those of reason; both are gifts of God, but reason has an autonomy of its own.
According to the position of Thomas, which is known as moderate realism, the form or the universal may be said to exist in three ways: in God, in things, and in the mind (see universals).

 Hale Tribute to Thomas Brackett Reed
Yet brilliant as was Reed's record as a debater and as a party and parliamentary leader, he is best and most justly recalled as the Speaker who by giving a bold and courageous interpretation to the rules of this House rescued its procedure from discredit and enabled it to transact the Nation's business.
Reed alone remained calm, and when the House for a moment subsided he persisted in his count of Democrats present and not answering to the roll call.
Reed then stated at length the legal and constitutional reasons for his ruling with the precedents from other bodies in its support.

Reed quickly took his place among the leaders of his party.

"Czar" Reed, as he was known, also arbitrarily used the speaker's power of recognition to prevent minority obstruction and to facilitate orthodox Republican legislation in the face of strong opposition.
