PoLITIcs-THQsE PRESENT.
Many prominent editors were the guests at dinner

lowing possibly the training of their youth and
the traditions Of the business, the intellectual heads
OF the public press deied the trolley blockade ana
reached the club with their dignity ana bodies intact
Many OF the dinner fixtures were suggestive OF inc
profession. The cigars coyly concealed IN the
folds of metropolitan daily and the ices served
were ngeniously sculpured in the form OF dimihu-
tive newsboy with his under his arm.

Senator Joseph r. Hawley introduced by
the chairman as former Governor. 4 present
United States Senator and the young editor of
one Of the oldest papers in the United States
The editor OF Tho Hartford Courant' said he
wanted to vindicate the policy OF the American
Government and the American Congress. He often
became angry with newspaper men In their erro-
neous reports of the proceedings OF the Senate and
he suggested as a remedy that only the old and
tried members of the profession should he chosen
to act as Washington correspondents He also ex-
pressed his opinion that men should never try TO
become editorial writers until they had served an
apprenticeship OF four five years in the gal
leries OF the Senate and House He longed for a
return Of the old school correspondence. Drifting
from journalism into National affairs, the Senator
said he wished for an International policy that
was frank and brave and manly. Uncle Sam could
not stand idly by and witness the conflicts of
other nations The time would come when the
Government must say: Let that man alone.
Mr.. Halstead also wanted to vindicate the United
States Senate; for two years IL had been stnlwdt
