AN ABSURD RULE.

Some day the American Senate. "the
greatest deliberative body on earth.'
will see how absurd lts doctrine OF
senatorial courtesy. allowing unlimited
debate, has gotten TO be- The Ameri-
can people have seen il already. and
are getting restless under It. A few
years ago there was n river and har-
Dor bill before the Senate in the dying
hours OF tho session. It's Items had
been debated In committee OF both
Houses; It had occupied a great share
Of the attention FOR months and had
finally been whipped Into shape that
was acceptable TO ALL Behind II was
the demand Of every section Of the
country because of local needs. but one
Senator from a Western state arose
and continued to address the Senate
until the time for adjournment arrived
and the bill was dead.
This Is utterly opposed to common
sense, and opposed to American ideals.
The trainers OF the Constitution con-
templated checks on hasty or lli-ad-
visod legislation when they provided a
second House. but they did not imagine
that through some absurd rule OF one
OF these bodies the majoritleH OF both
Houses would be thwartod.
But we are now having another ex-
ample OF this. The CUBAN reciprocity
measure was favored project with
President Mckinley. In his last pub
lie utterance It was his theme. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has kept II before the
public thought and Congress has had
several years to consider It. II has
behind Il the sentiment OF practically
the whole American people. The House
passed Il the other day by an over
whelming majority and now II is IN
the Senate. There are perhaps a half
dozen senators who because OF local
interests are opposed to Il; and this
pltiful minority coolly announce that
the bill cannot pass at this session. ms
they propose to talk Il to death We
wonder how much longer this absurd
rule OF senatorial courtesy VIII be al
lowed TO stand blocking the path OF
American demands.

sion that our prompt recognition Of

ine because Professor Moore is a Del

ence in the state department. and is
a recognized authority on international
law.
He has taken pains to go into the
history OF our relations with the
Isthmus and says that for half CEN
tury we have held a quasi protectorate
over that territory lie thinks It is
absurd TO treat the withdrawal Of
Panama from compact which had

never regarded oa absolute. as par
allel with the secession Of our Southern
states. Under our agreement with
New Grenada we were given the right
to land troops on the Isthmus and to
