IE WASTED
IN SENATE
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, April 20—(Special)
Wh|t is the senate's game? This ques
tion arises over the method the senate
has adopted during the past two or
. three weeks.
A great deal of time was spent in
discussing the woman suffrage resolu
tion, although it was known that a
two-thirds majority could not be ob
tained to pass it. Much time has been
spent over the proposition for grain
grading, several days of which were
devoted to whether the bill was prop
erly before the senate or not. Then
there were long and dreary speeches
0:1 the cotton futures bill, mostly to
empty seats.
All this time the calendar of the sen
ate contained page after page of bills
which had heen reported but which
did uot receive consideration. First
oiio bill and then another became the
unfinished business, and then was set
aside while different senator* Jostled
and pushed and clamored for consid
eration of measures In which they
weie interested, and all this time we
lieard talk about having an early ad
journment.
■Tust what the gaine of the senators is
nobody can tell. When legislation be
comes more imperative they will prob
ably bold early morning and late night
sessions in order to make up for the
time they are now losing.
Wettern Scrappors.
Jt would scarcely comport with sena
torial dignity to refer to members of
that body as "scrappers." And yet
(hut word occurs to those of us who
have observed a number of men trying
to get their legislation considered.
Prominent among those I might men
tion are Shafroth of Colorado and My
ers of Montana, who hare given the
senate to understand that unless they
tan get their mils considered there will
be trouble in future legislation. , i
An Interested Spectator,
Probably none of the two or three
thousand that filled the galleries on the
day the administration won Its first
bout on the Panama canal tolls wcs
more Interested in the proceedings
than Mrs. Champ Clark. It is well
known that she has never been recon
u'l.'cl to the result at Baltimore, and
those who saw her in the gallery the
day the tight occurred on Wilson's ca
nal proposition were interested in see
ing her applaud those who were sup
porting the position which her distin
guished husband, the speaker of the
house, took on that Important ques- .

They Talk About Ollle.
Members of the press gallery looked
down on the house when It was seeth

canal tolls and observed Ollle James
