Now that he had Quelled the revolution against his control of Philadelphia, Senator Penrose is showing signs of interest In the affairs of the United States. "Congress Discusses Something or Other,” says the daily headlines. Some leaders of the Republican party seem to imagine that talking about the country’s needs is almost the same as supplying them. Senatorial speeches against the league of nations would not bring much by weight, but they would be quite costly if sold even at a low rate by the yard. There can be no definite agreement upon what shall be done under the status of peace while the conditions of war are still governing industry. i How can . Republican senators condemn industrial strikes when they themselves are conducting a strike against the treaty? Senator Lodge is leader of the Republican majority on the floor of the senate. Senator Penrose is boss behind closed doors. • Republican opposition to the peace treaty and German resistance of the peace conference are synchronous, anyhow. It appears now that the Republican obstructionists in. the senate put forward their amendments with mental reservations. This extra session of congress has done little to deserve grateful remembrance on Thanksgiving day. . Senator Moses has earned the degree of M. D.—mistaken diagnostician.
