TWO BIG ISSUES
FORCED ON HOUSE
Members Must Record Votes
on Suffrage and Prohibition.
BOTH HAVE SLIM CHANGES.
I Judiciary Committee, Tired of Being
Termed a "Graveyard," Reported
Resolutions, Thus Placing Burden of
Rejecting or Accepting Two Vital
Measures on Every Member of House.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, May %V.—[Special.]—
Many members of congress are much
disturbed on account of the agitation
which has followed the action of the
judiciary committee in reporting the
prohibition and woman suffrage
amendments. It Is still something of
a mystery why the Judiciary commit
tee took that action, but it may be ex
j plained that the members became
j weary of the constant pressure that
was put upon them.
Kvery member was beset by prohibi
tionists to tane some action which
would afford the house an opportunity
to pass uiwtn the Hobson resolution.
The woman suffragists were equally in
j sistcnt that their measure should not
I be smothered.
! The judiciary committee became
| tinvl of being culled the "graveyard"
i of all legislation of this character, and
I the members determined to relieve
themselves individually of the pressure
' and let it spread over the entire house.
Keeping Them Together.
It is n I together likely that iu case
j the committee on rules of the bouse
! shall divide to bring In a rule allow
ing the bouse to consider and vote upon
the prohibition resolution, that a simi
lar action will have to be taken on the
j suffrage resolution. The suffragists
have been strong enough to keep their
measure abreast of the prohibition res
I1 otutlou and the prohibitionists have
been so earnest that they hnve been
willing to Join hands with the suffra
' gists iu order to promote federal ac
tion on their measure.
The Democratic caucus has decided
against considering woman suffrage
legislation at this session, and the com
mittee on rules has followed the In
structions of the caucus and refused to
report any measure relating to suf
frage. But the caucus has taken no
•such action regarding prohibition and
the committee on rules will be at lib
erty to provide a day for considering
prohibition. Hut they will not be able
to do that without a strong fight on the
part of the suffragists.
Prohibition Is Strong.
That prohibition has strong support
in the house of representatives there
can be no question. A few years ago
when a drastic measure controlling
- liquor dealing was before the house, It
took the finest kind of work and fine
manipulation to prevent a direct vote
in favor of prohibition for the District
of Columbia, and if such a vote had
been taken it was almost sure that It
would have curried In the house of rep
resentatives and probably In the sen
ate.
Of course national prohibition is an
other thing, and members would hesi
tate to vote for a national measure, al
though they would be willing to try It
ou the city of Washington. Besides, it
requires a two-thirds vots to pass the
Hobson resolution, and It is doubtful
if any such majority could be obtained.
Controlled Hi* Emotions.
Senator Stone of Missouri has Just
concluded an elaborate argument In fa
vor of the repeal of free tolls, during
which he had discussed at considerable
length the Democratic platform. He
was followed briefly by Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, an old time antag
onist, who said, "I know the senator
will pardon me if I say that bis dis
cussion in regard to the Democratic
platform leaves my emotions personal
ly well within control." Lodge is a
sedato individual, but occasionally he
delves deep and refutes the idea that
he is without a sense of humor.
Lane Could Not See It.
During discussion of the agricultural
appropriation bill southern men made
an earnest plea for the expenditure of
money to encourage certain forms of
agriculture in the south that have here
tofore been neglected. Senator Rans
dell of Louisiana had been making an
argument showing that the fanners of
the south were now beginning to raise
products which heretofora they bad
purchased in the north and west.
Then Senator Lane of Oregon broke
in, saving: "We are being asked to fur
nish the people of the south money
with which to put ourselves out of
business. They are going to use the
money to raise all these things which
they now buy of us. I do not see any
thing profitable in that kind of a trade."
j "I thought the senator was a patriot,"
was the comment of Ransdeil.
Boosting Director Harris.
In a recent speech in the house Tom
Hellin of Alabama paid a great trib
ute to William J. Harris, director of
the census. He told all about the good
work that Harris has been doing at
the head of the census bureau, and his
statements brought out frequent ap
plause from the members because they
also believed that Harris Is doing good
[ work. Incidentally. this boost of the
director had some political significance,
as Harris Is a candidate for Governor
of Georgia.
WHY MEN SEEK
PUBLIC OFFICE
Desire Tor Recognition Chief
Aim of Many Politicians.
MANY WANT TO GO TO WAR
Numerous Tenders of Service by Per
sons In All Walks of Life—Graduat
ing Class at Naval Academy Anxious
to See Active Service—Appropria
tions Quell State Rights Talk.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington. .May 18.—[Spcclal.j—A
discussion, very old and not entirely
settled to any one's satisfaction. Is that
about why men clamor for public of
Qce. What Is there about a public po
sition that Induces men to work ho
hard for places on the payroll ?_
Of course so far as the smaller places
are concerned it i< almost entirely due
to the desire for the money There Is In
It. Hut as-to the bigger positions,
which men who do not need the money
are constantly seeking, it must bo-that
they regard It as an honor to hold pub
lic office.
Want "Recognition."
"I cannot understand why that man
has been so persistent iu seeking a
place." said Senator lloke Smith to a
man who had the power of appoint
ment "lie has :i sufficient Income, and
the place he i« willing to take is far be
lovvjils uteri.s. bat he seems willing to
take it. As near as I can lind out he
wants recognition."
Thai is general!v driven as an excuse
ror tin- persistency villi which many
Uleli seek appointments. They want
"recognition." ;iuil Ihey tliini; that they
will loso their | »«»l 11 i t ;tl prestige if they
are uot Mich recognition.
Ready For Service.
lu cast' o* war with Mexico there is
uot the slightest doubt al«mt getting
sulilcient olllcers ami men. Already
there have tieeu numerous tenders of
services by men who want to have
commissions in the army If there Is
war. There has been some criticism
by senators about men asking for com
missions, ami the suggestion has been
made that there is a rank and file as
well as commissions in the army.
However, there seems t<> be no ques
tlon r.bout men to enlist and make up
the rank and tile as well as tlmse who
would hold commissions. There are
also a lot of men seeking service
in the navy as otiicers. Many who
have had a little sea experience think
that they would make good naval olli
eers and are offering their services to
the navy.
In this connection it is interesting to
t.ote that the graduating class at the
Naval academy are putting in their
requisitions to lie assigned to ships
that are likely to be In service. They
want to get Into It as soon as they get
out of the academy.
A State Rights Extinguisher.
Seldom do we hear the question of
state rights raised when it is propos
ed that the federal government sha.l
go into a state and spend money. The
passing of the good roads bill in the
house and every river and harbor bill
shows that state lines do uot tlgure
when It conies to taking money front
the federal treasury. I have just no
ticed the introduction of a bill appro
priating Sl.OtHi.uoO, to be used for en
couraging rural sanitation. That comes
pretty near entering upon the police
powers of a state, but with any such
appropriation as that attached to it we
will probably never hear the state
rights slogan raised.
Townsend Was Relieved.
Edward \V. Townsend. who repre
sents n New Jersey district, showed
relief in every way tlie other day, and
In reply to n question as to whether
somebody had left him a fortune he
said:
"No, not just that, but I have just
settled a postof&ec light in my district
tliat has been hanging 011 for more
than a year. It lias been a fierce one.
too. and It might Just as well have
been settled a year ago without ail of
t the trouble that we have had over it."
That is one trouble about the olliee
business. Bitter contests arise between
individuals, especially in the selection
of postmasters. Nearly every postof
flee ficht leaves a congressman weaker
than he was before.
Talk Versus Ball Game.
Lecturing the senate on account of
the empty seats. Senator MeCumber
remarked that "sixty per cent of the
senate is out at the ball game." And
then some occupant of the gallery was
kind enough to say that the ball grime
was a mighty sight more entertaining
than most of the talk in the senate.
Same Old Fight.
If history does not repeat itself at
least congress does. We are just as
sure to have the same old fight 011 the
national forest reserves every time the
agricultural bill is considered as we
are to have a session of congress.
There was little variation this year
i>ecause the senatorial contest in Penn
sylvania was introduced, and that was
liecause Gifford Pincbot, who is our
roost noted forestry man, Is a candi
date for the senate in Pennsylvania.
There Is also a division In the minds
of western men as to forest conditions.
Some think that they work a great
hardship, and others believe that a
great benefit will be the ultimate re
sult.
