CRITICfSING II is doubtful ~ tho
THE SENATE. United States sonata
commands as much respect from the pub
lie as 1t did In the days Of Webster. Clay,
Benton and Calhoun. The Impression has got
abroad that 1t contains good many fossils,
number Of millonaires who think more of
their ease and their investment than of
the public good and lot of interminable
takers who are never so well satisfied as
when making speeches.
While there are some men in the senate
whose room would be much better than
their company. the majority, no doubt are
earnestly DESTROYS Of doing the best they
can to promote the public good. Among
those who could be spared is Senator
Stewart Of Nevada In our Washington
dispatches yesterday it was stated that
he believes it would be a good thing 20 re-
iect the arbitration treaty because Great
Britain wants 1t. In expressing this be-
lief he practically admits that he is UNI
able to give any reason why the treaty
would not be good thing for this country.
He wants 1t rejected simply because Great
Britain favors it,
Senator Stewart and all the other seua-
tors ought TO qualify themselves to decide
whether or not the treaty Is mcrltori-
Gus one. and whe ther it is more favorable
10 Great Britain than to this country Per-
haps they would be able to find out what
Ills real mcris arc II they should pay closer
attention to the speeches OF those of their
number who have taken the trouble to
study 1t. For some reason or other, how
ever. senator's refuse to listen to the
speeches of their associates. They don't
wDut 10 be instructed apparently upon any
subject, being well satisfied with such
crumbs Of information. relative to the cues
tons they have to pass upon "a they can
PICK M without "A special effort on their
part II is saying in Washington that ii
a senator wants to get an audience Of sen
ators he must either he funny of malicious.
Publication OF sayings like that has helm
cd TO create popular impression that SEN
atorH are lazy. and that they permit their
preiudicos to control them instead of pre-
pairing themselves by careful study to act
intelliecntly upon public questions There
doesn't seem TO be any doubt that some Of
the senators are opposite the arhtrntio
treaty for no other reason than that it Mas
negotiated by the Cleveland administration.

legs and ankles comfortable and pretty

Perhaps the most useful Of them all
IS the knee pad. which is the softest kind
of "a pillow Tor strapping upon the knees.
IL is made to match the costume, and is
of piece with the boomers which every
rider wears underneath her skirt. The
knee pad is as large as the knee cap, with
nice strings for tying on, or buttons. 1t
is warm for cool days. and can be lighter
weight for hot weather. If a bicyclist falls
she lands upon the knee and does not
get the bruises that made her life mis-
cradle before the knee pad was thought
of.
An ornamental little thing that might
be frowned upon Gid 1t not serve its pur-
pose Of utilitarianism is the anklet. This
is q gold band tnat catches around the
ankle. It is tight and can be made 10

about four or five being used from toe to

A knee bracelet that is neat enough for
any one consists of two carriers, one go
ing below the knee and one above. To
keep them from riding up or down q
tiny gold chain is strung between them.
These are easily made at home, and a
gold eye-g,ass chain used for the con-
Meeting link.
The most expensive stocking supporters
are mere clasps. They come richly jew
ol,ed and fasten with a snap on the side
of the stocking. They can be obtained at
very high cost, if desired. The Jewels are
continued up the leg, being followed on
an elastic.
