Government for the Senate, of the Senate, and by the Senate

( CONTINUED FROM PAGK ONK) a measly one-fourth dealing" with the proMems of the country. Uefiar.ce atare the republican party la the face from leaders to first voters. to place their finger on a single Instance cf Woodrow Wilson's weal ltd "one man-rule" being exercised without the delegation of power either by the constitution or Ly congress Autocracy is an assumption of power, not the exercise of delegated powers and the assumption need not. of necessity, be by force either. The trick, worked by the senate upon the republican national convention, seeking to nomlnato for president, someone who will crawl to the senate's call, tends toward assumption of authority. Just ax truly as though it were pursued with a battle-axe. yOUTd! a pickpocket just the 1 same whether you pick a man's pocket with one hand or his throat, or whether you do it more pilferously while some coconspirator detracts his attention In some other direction. And mark this! Of all the bad governments that have cursed the earth, of king that have been cruel, or of republics that have become hotbeds of vice and corruption. take the supreme case of Rome, nestling there amid the seven hills, tne fall of which still thunders down the years. Rome fell, not because of her Caesars, but because of her senate. The Romans could watch their emperor there was but one of him at a time, but the gigantic conspiracy that nvolvea me Roman senate into an aristocratic bureaucracy, multiplied the tyrants beyond popular conception, making of the Caesar its Caesar rather than the Caesar of the peo-, pie. Herein lay the foundation of that corrupting power, profligacy, lawlessness and lawlessness, that shook the eternal hill down upon their guilty heads. It would have been necessary to be noseless to have been In Chicago the past week. edging one's way, here, there and yonder, without smelling the cancerous growth the American replica of the ancient Roman article. Take the Washington press correspondents, as a criterion: whether consciously or unconsciously the propagandists of senatorial power. They are not opposing It either., One might accuse them of being party to it, so anxious are they to point out to you how the senate is already "it," with all the strings In the country in their claws, wherefore the best thing to do is not to oppose, but get in the swim and grab off what you can; then to go lay down and die. Sproul for president, a his "dark horse" boom was launched, 15 reputed one of the best illustrations of the workings of the senatorial machinery, and the manner after which its strings were pulled in thia case to get rid of Johnson, and make Johnson like it. Sproul was sprung by Sen. Penrose because Sproul would be acceptable to Sen. Knox lr case Sen. Harding could not be put over; was satisfactory to Sen. Johnson, in preference to anyone else on the board, save Harding, if Johnscua himself could not be nominated. Sproul then, of course, would be easily subject to dictation from Penrose and Knox, and Johnson could expect an occasional lookln, which is better than no lookin at all, and there you have it. LOWDEN could easily have had .he nomination, so far as concerned senatorial anxiety, had It not been for the Johnson-Borah threats of bolting should the nomination go to either Lowden or Wood. He was satisfactory to the senate, but regardless of the Borah Johnson threatening?, there was a question If enough votes could be shifted to Harding. In the face of the primary contests, to make hi: nomination possible. Sproul then, was in reality to be Harding's "dark horse" rather than that of the convention the senat all the while holding in reserve that array of "favorite sons." like Polndextcr, Coolige. Butler, Du Pont. Sutherland, ready to throw their support at the proper time, where it would serve the senatorial purpose best. When It came to the final showdown, and delegates were wanted from here, there and yonder, to put over the nominee that tho senate had decided to take, it was so planned that the senator from each state, if a republican and present, was to give the signal and the delegations moved accordingly. Indiana, for instance, deserted Wood. Iyowden and Johnson, and rallied about the Ohioan as obediently as good children should when it was "advised" by Sens. Watson and New. Michigan, instructed for Johnson, and slightly split after a. while, with a few honors for Wood and Lowden, went to Harding with a bang when tho directions came from Sen. Truman H. Newberry, tho convict, indorsed by Sen. Charles Lmory Townsend, his apologist. The break came when the ate consideied that the cat played with the mouse enough and the delegates senhad long were the Indlsufficiently benumbed by heat, and wearied of their vidual hopes, to be ready :'or the sprawl. Sen. Frclinghuysen of New Jersey, it was, who moved that Sen. Harding's nomination be made unanymous just another voice from the senate. Sen. Medill McCormick of I'linois. then placed in nomination Sen. Irvine Lenroot of Wisconsin f.r vice president, and president f the senate Lenroot. the wartime "copperhead," bad as Lafollette. Somehow. it seems. this cog slipped, and thereupon. no doubt, there was more buzzing of st raters, and senators, and senators, by, of and for tne senate. II ICH is a. pretty good picture of the tieml of thought ''and the avenue of political activity, as politicians lnvr 'en traveling d"wn in e'hieavo. row for wellnU'h a fortnight. The senate, in ii i Toa nl . in i Jf the platform always intent upn making the paity nomihee; a!o by, of. for and in defense of the senate. It

all goes to show that the tight is one of Washington personal bitterness, superinduced by .senatorial egotism and thirst for power, ratht-r than one of principle and rU'ht. Once upon a time there was a member of the republican national committee who knew the fcume but did not always play it. In that far off day when Matthew Stanley Quay, and Tom Plat, and Clayton Powell. and Chauncey Filley, and the rest were going strong, this national committeemen, whose name is Just as well known by not mentioning It, grew confidential on one occasion, and told an awful truth. "The whole duty of the old guard." he said, "is to fool the delegates into thinking that they know It all and that the old guardsmen thempe!vfi know nothing, are stumped, and are looking about for a place from which to Jump off Into space." It is easy enough when you know how. They do it by "going into conference," and then letting leak out onto the reporters such powerful little Incantations, as In their judgment, are good for the delegates to hear. "I an call spirits from the vasty deep," said Glendower, and If Glendower, why not Ilolse Penrrse. and Murray Crane, and Reed Smoot. and Jim Watson, and Henry Cabot Lodge, and last but not least, the aged Philander Chase Knox? Permit us then, subject to the final ballot, to Introduce to you the republican nominee. called from those depths product of a sort of basswood Puddha appealing powerfully to the Imaginations of the party worshippers.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY AGAIN WINS FAVOR Students Repeat Success Before Large Audience at Auditorium. J. M. P.arrle's comedy, "What Every Woman Knoks" was repeated Saturday night at the high school auditorium before another large audience by the class of 1020. The play is all about a modest little Sceteh lady who marries a young student, and by her own counsel ami encouragement, but without letting him know he's not doing it all by himself, gets him Into parliament. Then she makes little changes In his speeches when she Is typewriting them, and the things she puts in get him a reputation as an orator. Finally he slopes with another woman, but he comes back v aen he finds his power all gone without Maggie, his wife. She tells him then "what every woman knows", that men all want to think they are capable of doing everything without the help of their wives. The play has the flavor that satisfies the high school audiences, which usually wants to cry at the theater, but the characters are too old for high school players. The work of the cast was deserving of a play more suited to its understanding.

A demonstration of several minutes followed, most of the delegates and spectators standing and cheering while a procession carrying large pictures of the candidate and standards of some of the states that supported him took upon its march around the hall. But it was too tired a convention after the gruelling excitement of two sweltering days of balloting, to long keep up such a demonstration. Sen. Lodge presiding, rapped for erder, and the delegate, did not argue with him. Final Chock Up. When it was seen that a candidate had been nominated, the customary changing of votes began with a half dozen who had voted for other candidates switching over so as to appear In the winning column on the last ballot.

Editor News-Tinies: Pestonji Wadla of India, who is described as a "publieist, occultist and theosophlst," says, quite in keeping with your demand for more patriotism and less partisanship in American citizenship: "The greatest thing In America today :s the new point of view developing in American politics tho tendency to do away with narrow partisanship and clean up the tainted methods characteristic of the past." For these kind words we may thank the Indian pundit. Many citizens will greet with surprise the statement that there Is anything good in American politics today, and yet here is a keen foreign observer declaring that precisely in our polltics we find the most nopeful thing in our present national life. Perhaps he Is right about it, too. It Is a fact that corruption of the old sort has almost entirely disappeared from our public life. As for the breaking down of party ties which some old-fashioned politicians regard with such distress, it is unquestionably a sign of political vitality. It is an indication that people are beginning once i lore to do their own political thinking, as they did in the days when the present parties were developing. It is a necessary part of the process by which these parties, after a considerable period of fixity, are being changed to readjust them to new conditions. E. P. S. Mishawaka, June 2. 1LLU-CENT DOUBT1XL BLESSING. Editor News-Times: Two bills have been presented to congress asking for Roosevelt coins. One bill favors a two-cenl piece, the other asks for a two-and-a-half-cent piece. The consensus of opinion of business men ard bankers seems to be in favor of the two-cent coin. The contention If that few prices would be lowered a half-cent, the tendency being rather to advance, especially on small wares, while the injection of the fractional coin into bookkeeping systems long ago founded on an even coinage would be only confusing and troublesome. In this view most people will concur.What would interest the public more than any new coinage would be some sort of legislation which might help to put prices where they belong, and restore all currency to normal.
