DR.. Jacob Woorsanger, Rabbi OF
Temple Emmanuel, and professor Of
Semitic languages and literature at
the University of California, Sar
Francisco, pronounced the invocation at
the opening of the Senate session today. He
prayed that "the flag under which we live,
that for which our fathers fought, be for
ever the sacred emblem of liberty until
time shall be no more"
The Hawaiian annexation resolutions
were taken up and Mr.. Bate of Tennessee
spoke In opposition to them. 1t was an in
novation, he said, upon all precedent that
resolution from the House should be sent
to the Senate while treaty upon tie
sane subject was still pending. He declared
that the treaty could not secure the necess-
airy two-thirds vote In the Senate and that
the political machinery had been set in
motion in order that the sentiment In the
Senate might be overridden.

Of interest and an unwillingness to listen
to repetition of speeches delivered then.

unconstitutional to acquire territory by
joint resolution, but an arrogant majority
was, however, pressing forward It's pur-
pose. without regard 10 constitutional obli-
cations or to their oath of office.

I consider the mastery of t1e American
Sugar trust over the SENATE Ind the house,

this trust is not opposed to Alteration, ard
that its influence is already V<fking amcnE
