MIpRoyING LoCrsr sTREET.


The Republic has commended the efforts uf the
enterprising owners Of Locust street property 10 i'm
prove that important highway, because Of the dis
tinct and valuable public service they will perform.
The city needs more than one clear avenue from the
central business section leading to the western resi-
dcnce district and few streets are 50 well adapted
for that use as Locust.
But The Republic has no intention OF saying that
the proper improvement Of Locust street requires
that it be extended through the plat Of ground On
which the Exposition and Coliseum building now
stands. That would be making an Improvement OF
questionable value TO the serious detriment Of an
other and more important project Of public improve
ment. II would be quite impossible 10 cut Locust
street through the block from Thirteenth to Four
teenth streets without injury TO the projected Pub
lie Library building. And there couldn't he Il more
grievouS blunder.
To restrict the architects who design The library
building 10 n site confined to the limited area he
tween Olive and Locust streets would most certain
ly hamper them seriously in the development of
their plans. or 50 diminish the park setting OF the
building on either Olive or Locust streets. or on
both. as 10 greatly impair the exceptional advan-
taSeS of the location assigned 10 this important pub
lie Improvement.
The injury 10 the Public Library and the lament
able marring of the surrounding park would have
no compcnSatinG public advantage in the improve
ment il would bring for Locust street. \ direct cx-
tension Of that street from Thirteenth to Fourteenth
along lines completely coincident with the lines
east and west Of this block is impossible. Locust
street is nearer to Olive on one side Of the block
than it is on the other, so the extension would not
bring an exact juncture.
On the other hand. ST. Charles street is so short
4 distance north Of Locust that the advantages Of 4
through highway will be practically realized when
the turns At Thirteenth and Fourteenth are around
the corners of a public park instead Of about 4 large
and completely obstructing building. The park will
leave a relatively clear view up and down Locust
street and the turns at 81. Charles street can be
curved 50 that the obstruction viii he no different
from the many charming parked circles that have
been deliberately introduced on important thorough
fares in Washington City. and which have con
tributed SO much To make it the most beautiful
capital in the world.
The Republic is heartily FOR the Improvement of
Locust street, but it is unqualifedly against tha
mutilation Of the Public Library site.

SENATE

Students Of American institutions are calling at
tention to the dominance OF the United States Senate
in national affairs. The fact of the increasing pow
er Of the Senate has been lately noted in several Of
the leading periodicals. The situation is, bluntly.
that instead Of being tile .balance wheel" Of Iegis-
lation it is the drive wheel and motive power. The
House Of Representatives, elected directly by the
people. is 4 subordinate. The newest contribution
TO the literature upon this subject is a paper by
Congressman S. W. Mccall, published in the At
lantic Monthly.
The two principal points made by Mr.. Mccall
are the protraction Of Senate debates and Senate
control OF revenue measures. one man. once hay
ing obtained the floor, by filling the air with rhetoric
perSistently and not Of necessity intelligently. may
block legislation. BY constitutional provision. rev
enue bills must originate in the House. They do.
but the Senate may amend and amend and amend.
until n practically new bill is substituted.
The Cincinnati Enquirer. commenting upon the
conditions, declares that this could not be done with
out the concurrence of the House, that lit has been
in the power of the House to arrest the procedure"
As 1t stands. the Senate is in n position TO dictate
to the House. II some measure must be passed.
the Senate can contrive 10 return the bill under cir
cumstances which win shoulder the blame for fail
ure to act upon the House.
Another feature lies in the fact that the Senators.
as 4 rule. are the leaders Of the political organiza-
lions in their States. II not absolutely the bosses.
they represent these leaders more directly than the
individual Congressman. The Senator is often the
head Of his States delegation in The House. lie
can pass the word down the line" commanding the
course 10 he pursued on a certain bill, and he has
the whip with which TO force the Congressman 10
follow his orders. This phase was not touched up
on by Mr.. Mccall, doubtless because it is a subject

The dominance Of the senate is in conflict with
the principle upon which the upper legislative body
exists. But the regulation Of the condition is a diff

on the subject cautiously. Where" it asks. lis the
