In the Senate yesterday during super
heated discussion between Senators Blair and
Cockrell Senator Cockrell said: ~ hurl back
the aspersion," and he forthwith hurled 1t at
the Senator from New Hampshire, who, how
ever, lodged it in time-thanks TO Senator
Cockrell's warning--to escape serious results,
and the aspersion was 0attened against the
south wall Of the Chamber like chewed wad.
But Senator Blair's fortunate escape In nowise
excuses Senator Cockrell for hurting the asi
person back at him. If he wanted Blair to
have II he could easily have called page and
passed II to him in a gentlemanly and urbane
manner, and not hurl 1t at him as II he were
passing tho biscuits at breakfast when he was
in bad humor. The Senator from Missouri
should have learned by this time that an as
persion hurled at fellow-Senator is liable to
do bodily injury, and even II It does not It
might knock out an innocent window or
smash In the face Of an unoffending clock.
The custom Of hurling back aspersions is be-
coming too common In the Senate, and we
caution the Senators against this growing
recklessness ere IL is too late. An aspersion
in the hands Of an angry statesman becomes a
dangerous weapon, and in moment he might
do that for which an eternity could not atone.
1t is not commendable In any of its aspects,
and we sincerely believe that statesman who
says openly, ~ hurl back the aspersion," II
the opportunity were offered, would say, ~
pause for reply"
