A WARNING TO THE SENATE'S
ELDER STATESMEN.
Senator La Folletto made a point. [
which will bo explained away with'
difficulty, when he suggested that
the senate ought at least to have a
chance to read the great appropria
tion bills before passing them. He
poiuted out that the naval committee
required fifteen days to consider the
navy bill after the house committee
and the house had, so far as possible,
perfected it. He thought it was
rather a large order for the senate
to consider a JlSS.OOfl.OOO appropria
tic n in two hours.
Incidentally the Wisconsin senator
adverted to the present makeup of
upper house committees. He declar
ed that all the big. dominating busi
ness of legislation is controlled by
about a third of the senate by reasou
of controlling the great committees
in which the important business is
handled. He opined that a better dis
tribution of committee powers and
responsibilities could be uiade by
which more men's energies could be
brought to bear, and u few would be
rel'eved of the need of overworking
themselves while the many loafed.
This sor of statement of the case
is not to be sneered out of considera
tion. It was noteworthy that Sena
tor La Follette was backed, on the
occasion of this initial attack on sen
ate customs and rules, by a goodly
group of ;nsurgents. manifestly ready
to stautl with him should a ficht de
velop. He used to fight alone; now
he has a force of supporters; and thai
force is getting ready to make itself
felt.
It is quite unnecessary that a few
men should have to do all the work
of the senate, a* they now do. S a
ator La Follette is right ? entirely
right ? in his arraignment of the sys
tem. It ought to be changed, and It
will be. The fight may be won soon
or late; but it will be won. It is not
because they have such inordinate
greed for work that a few of the vet
erans assume to do it all; it is be
cause they want the power in their
own hands; the control of legislation
and policies and programs. This very
thing is what has brought the senate
into more or less disrepute with the
people. Th>- opposition is going to
air the situation: and in doing so
will gain new strength. The elders
would do well to yield gracefully,
loosen their grip on the machine, and
let the senate run its affairs in its
own ways. Mr. I*a Follette won the
point he was making, and got post
ponement o* the navy bill's consid
eration. He won it because he was
right and entitled to win. ? Philadel
phia Times.
In a recent speech Senator Davis
of Arkansas stated statistics showing
that 33 per cent of the entire wealth
of the United States is owned by
fifty-one people. He farther stated
that 87 per cent of the entire wealth
of the country is possessed by less
than five thousand men.
Robert La Follette of Wisconsin is
one of the ablest and most honest
men iu the United States senate.
He is a friend of the common people
first, last and all the time.
"Behold the lilies of the field. They
toil not. neither do they spin: yet
Solomon in all his glory was not ar
rayed like one of these."
Good morals lead to happinw and
kappiuee* leads to noJhlity.

needs the money.

appoint.
