NAME THE ONa INSURGENT SENATOR "The closing hours of the debate tonight were enlivened by the antics of one of the insurgent senators, who, outside of W ashington, is regarded as a paragon or virtue. He had imbibed too freely of the flowing bowl, and insisted on making a speech. It was with the greatest difficulty that his colleagues were able to keep him under reasonable control.”—Washington Correspondent New York Tribune, June 4th. This occurred nearly a month ago and not one of the partisan republican newspapers of Indiana have called for the count, and demanded of the Tribune correspondent the name of the insurgent senator who wore the flowing bowl. What a reflection upon

the six insurgent senators, and then to think that Instead of eight there Is but one to name. The partisan republican press may contend that this Tribune correspondent Is an unknown quantity In Indiana and therefore unworthy of eveu newspaper notice, but they forget that one of six insurgent senators and not the Tribune correspondent is charged with a grave if not serious offense. Just think who this might be? As it stands It Is a reflection on every one of the six Insurgent senators, and the Lord knows that we can not afford to have any reflections upon this branch of republicanism or its standard bearers this year. Name the one. Sounds very much as if we were becoming considerably ■boss-ridden'’ when a state central committee notifies a spell binder that the committee must have the privilege of blue-pen-ciling his remarks before he makes any speches. However, the party I would be in better shape had the f blue pencil been vigorously used upon the occasion of the state republican convention. — Huntington Morning Times, Rep. Very excellent from a democratic Sandpoint tn 1910, It is true, but those not warped by partisanship will contend that when a man cannot subscribe to his party platform and finds what he can subscribe to in the platform of the opposition, it is his

duty as a good citizen to support that opposition.—Fort Wayne News. In other words if Senator Beveridge could not subscribe to the republican Payne-Aldrich tariff law,' he should have supported the democrats and be should support them now. We think to, too. The hot weatner of last week had one good effect, at least —it brought the long session or congress to a close. Mr. Taft says that the session redeemed ail of the republican party’s campaign pledges—that he succeeded in getting accomplished what other presidents work a whole term on. Speaker Cannon asserts that "more and better" work was done than at any session of his thirty-five years of congressional life. Such statements as these are not only open to suspicion, but they are not borne out by the facts. Whether any good at all will grow out of the session is doubtful. On the other hand it is known that the burdens of the people have been enormously increased and that they will have to bend lower than ever before under the load that has been put upon their shoulders. Not only did this session spend more money than any preceding one. but the tariff law that was passed enlarges the graft that other republican congresses bestowed. It will not be long urftil the full measure of the mischief accomplished will be made plain to the country.
