kfttredgc in the Senate

The St. Louis Globe Democrat,
has an article from it's regular
Washington correspondent tel
ling how Senator Kittredge, al
though a comparatively new
senator, has been able to play a
leading part in the work of the
senate. The article says:
The career of Kittredge has often
been pointed to as one that illustrates
the possibilities for the western man
who comes to the senate and shows
good Judgment, knows how to assert
his own self respect and maintain bis
dignity and require it of others with
out being Extensively aggressive. NO
one believes that Kittredge has made
the advances of influence and reached
the already enviable position OF con-
fidence with the senate leaders
largely eastern without winning
the place. He has not fallen into the
error of making long speeches, early
in his service, and thus incurring the
displeasure of the elder statesmen,
who want junior senator to sit, and
learn, and listen, and serve a sort OF
silent apprenticeship before trying
his oratorical powers. The few times
Kittredge did have something to say
he had something to say, and that
was what has given him weight. He
had something that senator's realized
was the expression of mature mind,
deliberate Judgment and exhaustive
investig cation. If there is any one
place where shallowness is quickly
discerned and as quickly punctured
with sharp questions or lily veiled
sarcasm or ridicule, it is on the floor
of the United States senate.
Here's an illustration OF how Kit
tredge has won his place of ever in
creasing Importance and infuence-it
is but one of many, but unlike others
it can be told. There was lull in
the senate business during the closing
days. Important appropriation and
other measures were not ready for
considerati and the senate leaders
eyer from the east-wanted to fill in
an hour or two with some harmless
discussion that would result in
naught. Senator Hale, self-appOinted
republican leader from Maine. passed
down the aisle on the extreme right,
where Kittredge sits, and suggested
to him that he bring up a measure
he had championed 'sfor the purpose
of killing time and occupying the SEN
ate temporarily" Nine junior sena-
tors out of ten would have jumped at
+, the opportunity and been flattered i'm.
measnrably by this suggestion from
| Senator Hale. Kittredge looked
straight into the eyes of Senator Hale
and is quoted as having said: "Sup
pose, senator, you play football with
some other senator's pet measure.
am sincere in wanting my bill passed
and expect to have it favorably acted
upon before the session closes, ano
my constituents expect me to have il
passed" That was all, except tha
Kittredge did get his bill passed, no
by an oratorical flight, but by making
personal appeals to those who coult
block his passage, and making its ad
visibility and its fairness and neces
sity so apparent that they were lef
without leg to stand on in opposing
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1905-05-12

The Kansas City Journal, in a
recent editorial, remarks that
. large per cent. of the immi-
grants now on their way west,
seeking farms, are artisans and
humble bread earners from
the cities. They are evidently
awakening to the fact that
fortunes are not to be made by
running elevators and doing jan
itOr work.

Milbank, S. D., May 6, 1905.

Just at present there is much
comment regarding insanity
among Indians. And why not?
If he is to become civilized and
take up the white mans burdens,
incidently he must get a few of
the white mans aches, Ills and
Affections, such as tooth ache,
consumption, insanity, etc. But
few cases of the latter however,
have ever been reported. Mr..
Clifford, an authority on this
question, says there are enough
crazy Indians. All that is nee
cessary is to get a place for them
and then 20 out after them. So
far only the most timporta cases
have been reported, but as fast
as the benefits and advantages
of an asylum are made known,
many new cases will come to
light. Now that an Indian may
purchase liquor, we may look
tor insanity to a larger extent
and in it's worst form.
