WALSH RESOLUTION MAY CAUSE REVOLUTION IN METHODS OF THE SENATE. LOOKS MILD BUT HAS TEETH I Plans to Limit Debate in the Upper House Really Have Been Removed From Party Consideration and May Carry. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Is there to be a revo lution in the methods of conducting business in the senate? In other words, is the upper house of the United States to adopt a cloture rule which will limit debate? Ever since the day in 190S when J Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, Re publican, and Stone of Missouri and Gore of Oklahoma, Democrats, at tempted to talk a currency hill to i death there has been agitation in be ! half of the adoption by the senate I of a rule which would enable the up iter house to reach a vote on any subject whenever a majority of the members desire to reach it. Year before last Senator Owen of Oklahoma endeavored to bring the senate into a mood to adopt such a rule. The upper house of the national legislature is an extremely conserva tive hotly so far as the conducting of Its own affairs is concerned. Many I ft the senators not only dislike to have the rules changed, hut they are afraid to have them changed. Even some of the proponents of a rule limit ing debate have not been without fear that some day their own rule might serve to plague its promoters. Senator Walsh of Montana, who was the western manager of the Wilson i campaign prior to the recent election, has introduced a resolution in the up per house which on Its face has a milk-and-water expression. However, masked by the lips of the face is a pretty strong set of teeth. If the Montana senator's resolution shall be adopted cloture is likely to be the re sult and cloture means that thereafter a majority of the senate can set an hour for a voting on any measure and cut off all debate thereon. Resolution Looks Harmless. Here Is the Walsh resolution: "‘It is the sense of the senate that with out notion on its own part the senate Is dissolved at 12 o’clock meridian, March 4.” This looks harmless and it takes an analysis to show just what it means. The upper house always has gone on the theory that as a legisla tive body it is continuing, that it does not end at the close of the session which brings an end to the house of representatives. This supposition is based on the fact that only one-third of the members of the senate are elected during any one year, while the other two-thirds continue to hold office from session to session, and that therefore, unlike the house, two-thirds of the senators’ terms not having ev pired. the senate continues as an ac tive legislative body, even after a con gress. so far as the house is con cerned, goes to its death on every sec ond March 4th. Now, of course, if Senator Walsh’s resolution Is adopted it means that when the senate meets for the first time after March 4, it is in effect a new body and that therefore it must adopt new rules. In this case all the rules will be adopted by a major ity vote, and therefore a simple ma jority could put into effect a cloture rule. As things are today it tabes a two-thirds vote to effect a revision of the rules, and this two-thirds’ vote cannot he secured. If the resolution t>f the Montana senator therefore pre vails. there may be an entirely new "ondltion of things In the senate at the next session of congress. “Little Bunch” Will Have Power. Five or six members of the next house of representatives will have a responsibility on their shoulders that, \s someone lias put It is as “heavy is the whole Union.” It will be within the power of the half-dozen or scant half dozen to throw the control of the house to one or the other of the great parties. Of course this presupposes that no Republicans, because of personal ani mosities. will refuse to vote for their party’s candidate for speaker and that no Democrats for like reasons, will refuse to work for their party’s can lldate. This matter has been dis cussed prior to this time, but every lay brings some change in the situa tion. As things are today, it seems there will be 215 Democrats and 215 Republicans in the next house of rep resentatives, with the bare chance that the Republicans may gain one and the Democrats lose one. Even if this -hall happen, however, “the little lunch" will still carry the burden. If they consider it a burden, of the mlance of power. During the last campaign I traveled is a correspondent through part of the | ountry with a leading member of the Progressive party who was. however, ■mpporting the candidacy of Charles E. Hughes. This leader Intimated that tinless Hughes were elected he hoped that the congress In both branches I vould remain Democratic. This view ! Jf the matter in a way, of course, was j partisan, for the thought was that if | the Democrats were in full control | hey could be held responsible for mis i takes, and that if the Republicans | .vere In the majority in one or the ' ither of the houses of congress while | there was a Democratic president in j the White House, it would be easy j enough for the Democrats to charge that the Republicans blocked the good i legislation which their president tried to put through. Working Hard tor Control. Curiously enough, this feeling to a considerable extent exists in the hearts of some of the Republican members of the house. It must not be understood for a minute, however, that the Re publicans ns a party are not going to try their best to organize the next house of representatives. It can be taken for granted that the Democrats [ will try just as hard. As a matter of fact, both parties today are doing all that in them lies to secure the adhe sion to their cause of the five or sis independents and others who may be able to say the word which means suc cess to one or the other of the grent parties in the work of organizing the house and in controlling it thereafter. Perhaps it is bad grace to say so, but probably no one will enter denial when the word is set down that there is an element of selfishness in the de sire of a party to control the house of representatives, even if it Is not to control it by a margin wide enough to enable it to be sure that it can put through or block legislation as the party desire may be. Control of the house is valuable from a selfish point of view to the members, because of the patronage in the case. On one roll of the house of representatives there are the names of 219 employees. Then in nddltion there are 59 committee clerks, and the appointment of these clerks lies I well within the field of the influence of the chairmen of the different com mittees. Each chairman has at his disposal jobs which collectively pay $3,500 each year. There is political aid to be expected from these em ployees in addition to the work which they give to the committees which employ them. There is a good deal of patronage which is not included in the above. It is distributed among the members and it takes in clerical appointments in large number. Folders of documents, elevator conductors, policemen, book keepers. and some other jobs which seem worth while in the eyes of the j men who aspire to hold them, are in the direct gift of the house organiza tion. uewey was only Admiral. With the death of George Dewey the rank of admiral passes from the Unit ed States navy list until it shall be ' revived by congress to be given tc some leader in war or to some sailoi who in a sudden emergency rises sc high above the ordinary level of serv ice and of heroism as to make It fitting that he shall he honored above other men. 5'he rank of admiral in the navy corresponds to the rank of general In the army. There is no general in the j United States army today. Neither is there a lieutenant general except on the retired list. Of course there arc plenty of major genrals. just as there are plenty of rear admirals in tht navy, but though a man be called general or admiral it does not mean necessarily that he holds right to that title unmodified. When Dewey was made an admiral the nomination and confirmation car ried with them the right to remain on the active list of the navy if he ] should so elect during the remalndei of his life. George Dewey was tht 1 only officer on the active list of tht j United States sea service who had passed the milestone of his sixty-sec- 1 ond birthday. In the army there Is nc j soldier on the active list who has i passed the age of sixty-four years ‘ Until within a few months the age ot compulsory retirement in the navy j was sixty-two years, while in the army It was sixty-four years. A change has I just been made In the law which keep' naval officers on the active list as long as officers of the army are kept there, that is until they are sixty-four years of age. Worked Hard to the Last. In a great many respects Georgt j Dewey was a wonder to the men ot ! the service. Of course he won renowr ! at Manila bay, but he won admiration j In Washington by the way in which ht j kept at work for 15 years after, if he j had so elected, he could have taken j life easy. Every day all through th» j years the admiral would go to his of j fice In the Mills building and there j take up his duties as president of the i general and joint boards of the navy He took a deep Interest in all things j pertaining to the service and he kept | abreast of the times despite his ad- j vaneing years. He was a keen advo- j cate of preparedness. In Washington, working just as hard as Admiral Dewey worked, there has been for years a lieutenant general ol the United States army. True enough it is that he has been on the retired list for years, but despite this fact ht asked for active service of some kind and so, even while borne on the rostei of retired ones, he is keeping up his work for the service, a work which leads him into fields where his sym pathies strongly are engaged. Lieut. Gen. Samuel B. M. Young to day is governor of the Soldiers’ home in the city of Washington. This home is for the care of soldiers of the regu lar army only. So it is that General j Young in a sense is In command todaj | of regulars with whom he served for | half a century or more. Like Dewey, j Lieutenant General Young insists on ■ working. He is not only governor ol the home for regulars, but he is the president of the National Association for Universal Military Training. More over. he is consulted constantly by of ficials <>f the war department on mat ters concerning the army. He Is sev enty-seven years old, but he looks to day as if he could mount his horse without touching the stirrup, and, old cavalryman that he is, ride forth at i the head of his troops on field service I and perhaps on battle benL MUCH IN LITTLE Vegetable silk, which, like silk cot | ton, is valuable only for stuffing, is i made from the seeds of a Brazilian ; tree.
