ALTHOUGH the members of the United
States Senate show a disposition to shelve
the resolution declaring in favor Of abolish.
ing Executive Sessions save for the consid'
Grafton OF treaties, the movement is not by
any means dead. Its promoters in the Senate
and the press OF the country generally are
still agitating the proposition with some
hope of success. In commenting on the
subject, the Philadelphia News says: 'Sen-
ators are naturally tenacious Of precedent
| and privilege. The Senate by nature is a
conservative body and any attempts to
secure any change in the customs or laws
of that body are sure to meet with strong
opposition. In the case of the proposition
that all discussions in the Senate shall be
open except when discussing foreign rela-
tions, it is clear that there is q strong feel
ing on the part OF the people thatthe prop
osition shall be accepted by the Senate.
Senators Morrill, and Hoar, two OF the
Oldest and most influential Senators, say
that they do not believe the people want
the change. If there is any truth in the
generally accepted opinion that the press
of the country represents public opinion
these Senators are wrong. They seem to
think that the call for open sessions is
caused by the Unsuitable desire Of the pa
pers to secure news. This is not true.
The events that take place in secret session
OF the Senate have been no secret to the
newspaper press for more than q generation.
It is not the desire OF the newspapers to
what goes on in secret session OF the
Senate which leads them to demand the
abolition OF secret sessions. 1t is the
adherence OF the American peo-
pie for anything which savors Of star
chamber proceedings in legislation.
Now the Senate can in secret session take !
any action it chooses for or against any
public official or candidate for Office, and
be responsible to no one. All Legislative
Of the Senate should be subject to
approval. No legislation should
be irresponsible or unsubjected to public
