SENATOR KoACH'S CASE

Our Washington dispatches give us an
interesting account of the debate in the
Senate yesterday on Mr.. Roach's state
ment that he was willing that the in
vestigation Of his case should proceed
and the position of other senators that the
Senate has no right to make any inves-
tigation of matters relating to the per
so al conduct of senators occurring be-
fore their election and in no way con-
nected with their election
We have already discussed this matter
very fully. but we feel compelled to say
again that the position taken by Mr..
George. OF Mississippi. is one that, in our
opinion. is unsound. The Senate possesses
and must possess an inherent power
to make any inquiry concerning whatever
relates TO any one OF it's members that
would 20 TO show that he should not be
a member. 1t is a power that should
be exercised with the utmost care and
discretion, but II is one which the very
nature OF the case imperatively demands
the existence of, and II is a power which
no deliterative body can part with.
