HAS THE SENATE DEGENERATED?
The April Forum contains a notable
article by Senator Hoar entitled "Has
the Senate Degenerated?" He ack-
nowledges the existence Of wide
spread and growing impatience with
the condition of things in the senate,
and that this feeling of distrust-cen-
demnation even-seems to be growing
among the men who, if the senate be
what the trainers of the constitution
meant and hoped, should be it's strong
est support, He admits that in re-
cent years the senate has often failed
the public desired, and which a ma
jority of its membership favored, by
reason of distractions to the will OF
the majority. "Senators who have
great measures in their charge are
compelled to sit in veXed and angry
lmpatience while other senators pour
out an eternal stream of inane and
empty chatter, chatter, chatter, about
matters which have no preseut pract-
ical Importance whatever. l use the
plural-senatOrs. l am somewhat
uouotrul whether l should do that.
certainly the men who have everdone
so can be counted on the fingers of
one hand" This evil, in Senator
Hoar's opinion, is but a manifestta-
tion in the senate of the "pestilent
and prevalent" evil which is showing
itself elsewhere many parts of the
country, the attempt by minorities
10 prevent the constitutional action
OF majoriCies whenever the minority
happen not TO like it," But he thinks
that practical cure can be found for
those evils If only the senate can have
the support of an aroused, wise, and
Weil-instructed public sentiment.
The cure will not be found in intem
perate reyiling of the senate, or in
passionate expressions Of despair for
The Republic" The senator suggests
as remedies: First. that laws should

CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM.

CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM.
The Macmillan Company N. Y, an
nouuces a new volume by Smaller
Matthews entitled The Social Teach
ings of Jesus: An Essay in Christian
Sociology.
There have been many preseuta-
tions of Christian teaching in it's ap-
plication to modern social problems,
but too often they have neglected to
discover exactly what the teaching of
Jesus really was. In the present
volume an attempt is made to study
tie Social Teachings of Jesus system
atically with little or no attempt at
homiletic application. 1t is based
upon the belief that Jesus as IA strong
thinker must have had some central
truth or conception, and that his
teaching was therefor not mere col
lection of disconnected apothegms.
Starting with this fundamental con-
ception. the author endeavOrs to trace
its application by Jesus himself to
various aspects of social life, at Soc
iety, economies, the family, the state,
as well as to discover the forces and
means upon which Jesus counted for
the realization of his ideals. The
essays originally appeared in the
American Journal of Sociology, but
have since been to a considerable eX-
tent rewritten.
