SENSTE WANTS TO
HURRY ITS WORK
Long Talks and Debates Bring
Forward Talk of Cloture.
INDIVIDUALS HAVE POWER.
Some Leaders Think That Ability of
One Man to Clock Passage of Bills
Is Bad For tho Senato—Actidh of
"Plucking Board" In Removing Navy
Officers Arouses Criticism.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, July 24. — [Special.]—
The long debates In the senate have
again brought forward talk of a limit
i I cloture of some sort which will ex
1 edlte business. IJut as usual, the de
ni: ml for cloture comes at a time when
those opposed to it will be most In
sistent. As in case of the river and
harbor bill, there is no doubt that op
ponents of this measure Intend to talk
it to death.
Tliry are not going to consent 10
cloture nt this time. And so In regard
to the trust bills. senators wlio oppose
the trust bills would oppose cloture to
secure their enactment/ When every
thing is moving along easily there is no
need for cloture and there is no agi
tation for it.
Pcwer of the Individual.
What stands in the way of cloture in
the senate is the power the present
sy-tem gives to every individual sen
ator Looking back, he can see where
ills consent to a unanimous agreement
has i con to his advantage, lie knows
where a group of senators or a lone
senator, by tlx* power which unlimited
debate afi. ids, has compelled a major
it.1 to yield. Always there is the pos
si'.ility that some time in the future
<h power will l>e necessary in order
! to How hi:.i to accomplish something
, of vital Importance. That Is why the
seriate will not provide cloture, not
e\e:i allowi. g two-thirds of the senate
1 to close debate.
Forgotten Things.
I What has become of the congress
arm who was so Insistent n few years
aco upon a bill to stop the sale of fire
arms and to prevent "pistol totiu'5"
lie was from the south. 1 believe, and
was going to stop murders by restrict
ing the ■-ale and use of 11 rearms. Then
th :'e was a man who was going to
have n pure fabric law passed if his
i district elected him to congress. Half
a Imiulre 1 other reforms were proposed
when the present congress began its
! work, but they have nil been relegated
to the limbo of forgotten things.
Plucking or Selection.
Great critiii-m lias been aroused
over the action of the "plucking board"
ot the navy. The board performed a
duty a tit lio: i ed by law, but it Ill's
proved very unsatisfactory. Th° ob
! jeet sought is retirements so as to In
■ sure younger officers for command
i rank. The general opinion is that the
! ;icking bo;.I'd must go, and to take
its place It is altogether likely that
Mi -re will be a demand that hereafter
! ..U! -ers for higher commands must bo
iui ;de by selection. Just as general of
ficers are now selected In the army.
Escaped the Pruning Knife.
During the consideration of an ap
propriation hill in the senate the state
ment wa- made that the nppropria
ii. ::s hail been largely reduced below
(lie estimates. Senator Burton of Ohio
developed an inquiring turn of rulnd
and wanted to know if the appropria
tions for public buildings had beon
cut. Receiving n negative answer, he
nest inquired If the appropriations for
rivers and harbors had beon redueed.
Again there was a negative, aud Bur
ton observed that lie generally noticed
that economy never seemed to strike
the objects in wlficb senators and rep
resell I a lives were personally Interested,
especially if enough of them were In
terested.
Effect of Hot Weather?
Chairman Fitzgerald was trying to
arrange time for general debate on one
of the appropriation bills, and Con
gressman Oillett of Massachusetts,
ranking minority member of the com
mittee. said that his side had requests
for four hours of general debate.
"Is everybody on that side losing his
head in this hot weather?" asked Fitz
gerald/ "The Republicans have been
doing nothing but talking," he added.
"Well." retorted Gillett, "that is all
the minority is nllowed to do."
Kenyon Hesitated.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa was mak
ing an argument in the senate, and in
the course of his remarks said: "I may
want to invite attention to the Demo
cratic platforms, though 1 do not want
to create a riot by doing so. I may
have to refer to the platform of 1012.
though I do so with some hesitancy."
There is an assumption on the part
of the Republicans that the Democrats
are not rigidly living up tc their plat
forms.
Panama or the Mississippi.
Senator John Sharp Williams was
pleading for adequate improvement of
ti>e Mississippi river and drew a com
parison between the river and the
Panama -canal. "We have spent or
wi'l spend -S- Of>,OCO.OOO on the Panama
can il," lie said, "and at its very high
est state of efficiency it will never
amount in importance to the American
people to one-tenth of the importance
of the Mississippi river."

PBLITiCS IN THE CAPITOL
: Members of House and Senate Specu- I
i late on Outcome of Fall Campaign. I
I Senate Hurries Up, as It Is Anxious
I to Adjourn—Hitchcock Shows Inde
pendence.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, July 23.—[Special.]—
Olio year ago when the president In
sisted tlmt congress should remain in
session and pass the currency 1)111 the
assertion was made that a quorum
cou'd not l>e kept in Washington for
any such purpose. But there was a
quorum here most of the time, aud4hc
bill was finally passed, although the
regular session came along before that
was accomplished.
There arc many senators ft no repre
sentatives who hope that tlio presi
dent will relent and allow tbo trust
legislation to go. over. Imt he shows no
disposition to do so. And in that ease
a ipioHnn of (lie senate must remain
here and pass legislation, no matter
now much they dislike the task.
House Talks Politics.
"General debate" Is almost always
"politi al debate" In the house these
days. For instance, when several
hours me allowed for g>. neral debate
j on an appropriation hili or some other
j measure the assumption is that the
j til.10 will be used in discussing the
general features ot the hill, Hut that
i is not the ease. The time is taken up
lin political dlseu.vsion, usually criti
cls:ns nf the administration liy the lie
publicans ami defen e by the Homo
erats, while the hull mongers strike at
both of the old parties without fear or
lu the minds of congressmen these
days as the time approaches when the
voters are to ehoosj> members of the
next house.
Making Hnst~ Slowly.
The senate is !n a hurry; if Is anx
ious to adjourn. So this is the way
it goes about it. The honorable bod;
j one morning spent half an hour read
ling and commenting on tiev. p ;j or
' clippings about the business conditions
cf the country as shown by i>emo
cratic papers on one side and Repub
lican papers on the other. Then three
quarters of an hour was s; -lit on the
I question of mileage for senators and
i members. Three-quarters of an hour
was then devoted to the apj "Intn cut
of conferees on an appropriation bill.
After that about half an hour was con
( sinned in caliing the roll to make sure
i there was a quo mm pre tit. after
i which the senate got down to business
' on the trust bills
Hitchcock's Independence,
j Senator flitchcock of Nebraska h:is [
I been one man \vln» thinks his own
i thoughts and tloe.s as ho pleases, even
1 if It is not in uccord with the adminis
tratiou. "1 would rather retire from
the senate than wear any man's col
lar," the Nebraskaii tolil a few friends,
commenting on his opposition to va
rious things the administration want
ed. Hitchcock says lie can have as
ranch pleasure editing his paper out in
Omaha as staying in the senate should
his course not be approved by his
party.
Montana Booming.
Senator Walsh returned from a trip
to Montana and gave glowing accounts
of the prospects in that state. "The
agricultural outlook is the best ever,"
he said. "Farmers feel sure of har
vesting nn abundant croj>. New set
tlers are coming in and taking up va
cant lands everywhere. Wool is sell
ing for 22 cents a pound, and cattle
prices are booming higher and higher.
All the mine.s are in operation, gold,
silver, zinc and copper are being pro (
duced. The only dark spot Is in Butte. ■
where labor troubles have Interrupted ,
mining."
"Lost In Conference."
now often it happens that senators
explain to their friends who are seek- j
ing legislation that It has been "lost 1
in conference." Former Senator Hale
would permit appropriation bills to be
loaded down with nearly everything
that senators wanted to put in, saying.
"I'll take it into conference," which
meant that lie would lose it as soon
as be got it there. Senator Town
send of Michigan indignantly protests
against spending hours and days on
amendments which are thrown out in
conference. The Michigan senator
served long enough in the house to
know that the house will not always
yield and that it is getting more and
more independent in such matters.
Has His Troubles.
Senator Myers of Montana stands
up for what he wants and sometimes
is so honest and earnest that he geis
into hot water. Sereral times during
bis brief career in the senate he has
had to make personal explanations
and to set himself straight on account
of comment or criticism. On account
of his determination to do as he pleas
ed he felt compelled to decline service
on a conference committee. It is rare
that any occasion ever arises which
causcs any such action in the senate.
