That was eminently sound criticism
which was made in the Senate last
week against the growing practice of
giving places to Senators on commits
sions. Something Of the same sort of
objection was raised at the time of
the Paris treaty. when Senators who
had shared In the negotiations with
Spain's Representatives were called
upon to advocate an approval of their
own work. What Senators Hoar and
Hale protested against was not the
appointment of Senators Lodge and
Turner on the Alaska Boundary Com
mission. so much as the establishment
of a dangerous precedent.

Both agreed-and they were sup

sons, as well as reasons of policy and
taste, in keeping legislation free from
Executive influence and control.
OF course, Senators and Represen-

may still hope to be cared for in the
creation of special commissions. The
st. Louis Fair and Spanish Claims

The worst feature of the business Is
that retiring statesmen may be tempt

Two aintIock pistols which belonged to

Miss MOnnie MarstCllCr. who lives in Wash

Washington gave the pistols TO Mr.. cambridge.
his secretary. and when Mr. DandridCc died they
were disposed Of at public sale with the rest Of

The grandfather Of Miss MarsteIer bought the
weapons. and in due time he left them to his

the United States. An attempt to
murder any Of the officers named may
also be punished with death, or with
imprisonment for not less than ten
years.
An important provision of the bill
constitutes anyone who aids, advises
or abets the killing of any of the of
ticers named, or Of foreign soy
ereign. a principal offender, and it is
directed that anyone who aids a per
son guilty Of the oftenses described
shall be punished as if he were a priu-
cipal
Another section Of the bill, which
should interest the Herr Mosts and
other propagators Of anarchy, pro
vides a fine not exceeding $1,000. or
Imprisonment not exceeding twenty
years, for anyone within the United
States who teaches the duty or neces-
sity Of the unlawful killing Of one or
more officers of this Government, or
of the government of any civilized
nation; and still another section pro
hibits the entry into the United States
Of all persons who are opposed 10 or
gained government.
There may be a question as to how
far some Of these provisions can be
made effective for the ends in view :;
but at least they will stand as an ex-
preston of the national detestation of
anarchism, and as a warning to volu-
bic preachers of assassination to sus-
pend their propaganda or take the
consequences.
