In the good old days Of Adams aud JEFF
ferson senators OF tho Untod States woro
never paid except for the time actually
spent in session, and in the earliest records
of Congress appear the quaint deductions
made for absenteeism by these Old time
first gentlemen of the land. Senatorial
privileges, however, have been very much
modified since the closing years Of the last
century. A senator may now draw his
full pay though he be absent from every
session save the one at which he was
sworn into membership of the body, He
now also may have private secretary at
the public expense. Old wine, old times
and old senators are best.
