When the Senate returned to its
chamber tonight, after participating
in the election, Senator Brown raised
the question whether the session held
during toe day was legal one or not:
The point was raised when the joint
assembly on Tuesday closed from busi-
ness it really did not dissolve as re-
quired by rules, and hence the Senate
could not be in session singly. After
some discussion it was decided to refer
the whole matter TO the judiciary
committee. Later Mr.. Mayheld sug-
gested, as the best way out of the
whole business, that the Senate re-,
consider its action whereby it passed
certain bills during the day,
place them again on the Calendar
where they were, and start over on
them agian. This was agreed to. This
action is not expected to change the
Senate's vote on the biennial session
and child labor bills.

advocating its passage, whose found

did not pay cent, and some who af-
ter swindling their creditors are keep

THE best thing connected wit h the
Forty-Second General Assembly, ~ says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, s.is that
the Republican minority coun ted for
more than usual, was intel ligently
handled, and put a distinct MAJ TX upon
the business transacted" 1t did I'M
q~uestionably put Its mark w ION the
business transacted by that be tdy, but
1t was the dollar-mark of corr upton.
No single evil measure, 10 sin yle bill
about which there was a susp icion of
bribery, not a shady transactit in dur
ing the entire session, but llaGl the
support of the Republican mino rity.
Without that minority the lobby W ould
have been helpless. After the Re-
publican party through the GID. had
been bowling for over two years
against the school book tr ust, the Re-
publican minority joined hands with
the lobby to prevent their own pl edges
from being carried ir.to effect. W.
say without fear of successful con.
tradiction that VIM. II. Phelps wou Ii
have been powerless to have bl .ocked
legislation which ple people wanted
had 1T not been fo,. the help lac re.
ceived from the Re publican majority.

peculiar people: They want to kick
Bryan out OF the party, and at the same
time are abusing the Democrats who
supported him because they refuse to
assimilate with the contingent who
