THE EXECUTIVE SESSION

A whole alphabet might be blowf
up with dynamite, and it is doubtful if,
in the debris, a single deader letter
could be found than the law ~regulat-
ing executive sessions of the United
States senate. Many funny farces are
with the meeting place of the
upper house of congress as a stage. but
none is more s~ide-splitting than the
solemn clearing of the galleries that
the momentous proceedings pending
may not reach the general public. All
Of this is aside from the question of
policy involved. Executive sessions of
the senate may or may not be of use.
that is 3 question in itself and one as
to which there may be differences of
opinion. Regarding the humorous par
odies on secret sessions which are a.
feature Of Washington official proceed
ings there can be but one view. Moth
ing but a necessity for secrecy can be
pleaded as an excuse for secret sessions
When hat end is ignored, or at least
eyaded, it is time to reform the custom
or put a plug in the leak.
Good, sound sense was displayed by
one of the honorable gentlemen when
the matter was discussed by the senate
with the revelations regarding the
treaty debate as a text. If the public
was to have as full and ccurate &C
counts of the discussion as had been
given by the morning paper he could
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-02-12

not see the necessity Of going through
the empty form of closing and locking
the doors against all outsiders. The
remedy suggested, that Of admitting
the newspaper men and putting them
on honor, was an excellent one. 1t is
probably the only way Of preventing
full accounts of executive sessions
from reaching the reading public. There
are ninety members of the senate, and
the number m%uftiplies the truth Of the
old saying that when two men know
a secret it loses it's distinctive char
acter.
One other point made when the mat
ter was under consideration is worthy
Of passing attention. One senator, who
was especially oud in his complaints
and who in particular insisted on a
strict observance of the method of ira
dition, urged that the enate was be-
ing made ridiculous by the notorious
way in which it's secrets were exploit
ed. He will not find many who will
agree with him.. The cause assigned
is not at all commensurate with the
result which is apparent. Attempts at
executive sessions may nave contrlbut-
ed in a small way to make the senate
ridiculous, but that is all. The senate
