Some Things You Want to Know The American Congress Procedure in the Senate. It wart George Washington who saM that the senate Is the saucer In which the tea of the house brew is cooled. Not only Is character given It by the fathers, but by the nature of Its own rules of procedure as well. With Its members elected for a term three times as long as that of a representative, and limited to two from each tte. the constitution Intended it to be body in which thought and deliber ation would be assured. While there has been a tendency toward concentrated one tran power in the house. In the senate any one of the entire membership may have an opportunity freely to discuss and propose legislation. There are many differences in tha pro cedure of the senate and the house. Not only is It possible for the house ta cut off debate on any subject at any time, by ordering the previous question, but It can abate the right to offer amendments, thus giving the organization measure a clear track from the committee to the senate.

Benevolent and Protective Order of E ks, have answered the death call of the Grand Exalted Ruler during the fiscal year. To commemorate the virtues of the "absent brothers" for Elks write the faults of men upon tha sands that are soon washed away members of the local lodge and the relatives and friends of the dead gathered at the Boyd theater Sunday morn ing for tho yearly memorial services. When the hour of 11 was sounded the playhouse was fi led to '.ts capacity with the sorrowing friends of the men who have laid aside the antlers. Beautiful and Im pressive were the services, as conducted according to the ritual of the order. At tha same hour for 11 o'clock to the Elks calls to memory the absent ones every lodge In the United States held similar memorials. The Boyd stage was fittingly arranged for the ceremony. Forming a somber background was a massive frame of black, surrounding the names of the men who have been ca led by death In previous years. These names were seventy-three in number, dating from the establishment of the local lodge In 1XS8 until December, last year. They were Inscribed In white upon black glass and the big picture was Il luminated by electricity. Above the frame was tho well known clock of the order and the words, "Our Absent Brothers." Flowers were banked profusely about the frame and the pulpit. When Secretary I. W. Miner called the death roll for the last year nineteen names were added to the list In view of the audience. As each name was enunciated ""-"uuo.i mb"i """" and to defend It when and on a white drop curtain lantern sune liknenessea of the brothers were shown. This ceremony was particularly touching. Musical numbers were given by the E ks' lodge quartet, consisting of J. R. Gerke, W. 8. Rigdon. C. P. Lewis and The senate is a continuing body. It never goes out of existence. There are always more than a majority sworn in and that body fitted for such a purpose by the rMdT to do business. Only a tlr of the memDers retire at a lime. I ne nouse mue; adopt Its rules at the beginning of every congress; those of the senate continue dur ing the pleasure of that body. The house must originate all revenue measures, though the senate may amend any revenue measure to the extent of striking out every word after "be It enacted, etc." and sub stituting its own bill. This Is a privilege which the house has often denied, but the senate has insisted upon It with complete success. It Is frequently said that the house nas the right of originating all appropriation bills, and that the senate may only amend them as It does the revenue bills. This supposition Is encouraeed bv the procedure that has come Into use through custom and not through law.

It 'is an unwritten law that they are to be taken advantage of only upon extraordinary occasions. How faithfully this unwritten uw has been observed is shown by the fact that however angry the majority may become and however much It smarts under such restraint, after it" is all over, there la no effort to change the rules which permit a filibuster. The very men who complain The senate is a great stickler for tradi tions, as is shown by Its maintenance of snuff boxes to be used, if at all, only by the ghosts of another century, but It has progressed much In the way of rules and In the estimation of the country. The house was regarded as the body of more dignity In the early days of the republic. In 111 Henry Clay refused to be a candidate for re-election to the senate, preferring, to go to the house. Otis resigned a seat In the senate to become mayor of Boston, and De Witt Clinton gave up his senatorial most when their projects are held up by reer in order to serve as mayor of New Insurance department and fraternal fea tures. The office is still maintained in the Brandels building In charge of a clerk, but the Insurance feature was suspended some time ago. Anita Xaa Za Arrested Charles Morgan of Anita.

John A, Rine delivered the eulogy which was a fitting tribute to the memories of the dead. Mr. Rine's words touched upon that which is good In men. He emphasized saliently tha motto of the order that "The Faults of Our Brothers We Write Upon the Sands; Their Virtues Upon the Tablets of Love and Memory." Mr. Rine's eulogy was. In part, as fol lows: "Once each year we cease our labor in our various walks of life and pause be fore the altar of remembrance to drop a tear In memory of the dead. 'Of those we mourn today many were with us at our memorial services one year ago. Before another year rolla 'round, who knows but what thera are those of us here who will bo called to the grand lodge above. "The portals of the Elks' lodge are closed to no one because of his religious belief. Within tha sacred precincts of that lodge sit men of all denominations an of all "treed who believe in tne fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men. Our order Is unfettered from doubt on tha one hand or dogmatism on the other. "While no creed marks the road we shall tread In life, the principles of our order stand as landmarks In this nor Id of sin and error, pointing to all the way to a higher, nobler and purer life. Our institu tion la erected on four great principles. Charity, Justice, Brotherly love and Fi delity, and, there are none more safe, surer or more enduring. "Those whom we mourn today have laid their burdens down; they are beyond the reach of blessings or of blame; their spirts await us somewhere in the white husu of eternity and we now leave them to God's watchful care, expressing the hope tha: In Charity and Justice. With Fidelity and Love, We may meet uur absent brothers In the realms of Joy above. Arthur Wakeley's Tribate. Arthur C. Wakeley delivered the address. He mentioned the fact that in the principal cities of the country similar .services were being conducted before tha 3lij.uuu members of the Elks' order. He referred to the ab sent ones as having preceded the living on life's Journey and leaving good deeds be hind them. His address follows in part: "The vuice of memory speaks to us to day tn tender accents. It lifts Its wand, and Inspired by eulogy, by music and by song, we summon into the happy sunlight of the present the faces of those whom i meet no more in their accustuined places. We recall their good deeds; we empnasU.. their virtues, their Utile, nameless, un remembered acts of kindness and of love, and doing this we ourselves gain inspira tion. "In his poem of 'Lalla Rookh.' the poet Moore relates how a young Hindoo girl upon the bank of a stream had lighted a an all lamp, and placing it in an earthen vessel, which alia had adorned with a wreath of flowers, she committed it. witn trembling hands, to the stream, and was anxiously watching its progress.

But the senate would have favor of opening the doors of the senate none of it. Again in li&O Steven A.

The senate. Again In llsTO there was a fight senate was very strict about the attend to reverse the principle that had then ob- anco of members while It was sitting, and tamed for nearly a century. Hannibal Hamlin and Henry A. Wheeler were the leaders of the movement. Many times since then there have been efforts of greater or less proportions to make the senate minority amenable to the previous question gag, and even Senator Allison favored the adoption of a, mild cloture rule. But even If tin. majority did decide to change this great rule of senate procedure it would be difficult to accomplish the pur pose, for there would be such a determined minority againM it that they could stretch the fight out so long that even a large majority might not be able to write a cloture rule into the organic law of the senate. The senate would have the right if a senator was absent without excuse for more than fifteen minutes, his name was posted up on a ?i!p of paper and left there until he chose to explain his absence and to ask the senate to t.nke it down. The procedure of the senate in legislative matters Is much more liberal to the minority that that of the house. While divers ways and means are contrived by a resourceful leader like Senator Aldrlch to keep his hand on the throttle and his eye upon the rail, whl'e the minority Is rendered Innocuous In opposition; the right to amend Is never cut off. and ths minority Is given the power to manufacture all the political capital its ability and acumen will permit. That is why the grout political issues of ne recent past have been made of unlimittd debate on the motion to adopt up the s'at'- Tnre the majority ran- noi escape going on reconv on any proposi tion upon which the minority is determined that it shall be receded. It Is provided by the senate rules that a senator may be required to vote on a a cloture rule. The rules of the senate differ in many essentials from those of the house, and in other wa3 than with respect to unlimited debate. The piactlce of counting a quorum In the senate differs from that) m the house. In the senate a quorum is counted as of those present and voting, when a vote ia taken. There may be a dozen sen ators present who are paired on a measure and who do not, therefore, vote on the peiulmg ernestion. let tneir votes may oe house cannot compel a member present to essential to make a quorum for passing vote either, but by forcing him to help the pending motion.

Then they were turned over to I ;he city engineer tor tabulation. The en- gineer will complete the tabulation today, j It Is expected that the bids will show ( several peculiar things. One la that the various contracting firms bid pretty gen erally on asphaltlc concrete and several 1 bid on creosoted wood block, but In other materials many of the firms bid without : competition. It is hinted that the con- j tractors agreed upon what class of ma- ; terials each should bid outside of what j appeared to be the most probable material j fcr the paving. j The bids according to the face of the i several propositions, show an ir. crease in the price per square yard for nearly every class of material. This tn the case of as- : phaltic concrete would represent a prob- ! able Increase In1 the 1100.000 contract of j about Jlo.U"0 o.ver similar contracts In other reports of the city. In the case of the creosoted wood block i the increase In the bid would probably represent 120.000. The exact increase in j the entire contracts cannot be ascertained until the city engineer makes up his totai sheets following the tabulation of the bids. : These features of the situation will be j part of the work which the cl;y council will have in hand to solve this evening, j Police Raid lower Street. j Five police officers, headed by a cap- ; tain and accompanied by the patrol wagon, J raided all the suspicious places along N street Saturday night.

Cooper's theory regarding the human stomach is rapidly becoming a topic of universal discussion. Cooper claims that the haman stomach has be come chronically deranged by modern con ditions, and that sickness generally is the result. In a recent interview, while introducing his medicine in a leading city, Mr, Cooper said: There is Just one way, in my opin ion, to maintain general health, and that is by building up the digestive organs. The vast majority of Americans today have weak, flabby, distended stomachs. This has been caused by many genera tions of over-feeding and lack of exir cise, until today the entire civilised race 1. affected. This Is the true cause of uu-s. of the 111 henlth of today. Little can b done to relieve it until the stomach 1: once more brought back to normal con dition, i. . "I am successful because my prepara tion puts the stomach In sound condition, and I maintain this is tha only way to se cure general and permanent good health." "Among those w ho have become firm be lievers in Mr. Cooper's , theory and medi cines through a personal test of his claims, is Mrs. Anna Muring of Dennison, Clark county, Illinois, who lives on Roural Route No. 1, Box 57. Mrs Marlng says: For years I have sufiered agony frum stomach trouble. I could not eat anything without having the greatest distress after ward. My appetite wa.-t poor did not care to eat afraid of the results that were sure to follow. My digestive organs did i my heart, and my bowels were in a wretched condition.
