Defender Of His Fame Was Willing
but Didn't Know Tricks of Oratory.
The first secret society with which
I was ever affiliated was called the
! Omega" which was two-thirds liter
airy and one-third social, said an old
college man, who has since won dis.
tinction as a national orator and cam.
paign speaker. In our rival society,
the alpha Rho" this order Of things
was reversed and we prided ourselves
greatly on the fact that our feast Of
reason" outranked the FLOW of SOUL"
Ours was a good deal Of a debating
society, and though I early gained
some reputation as speaker. l was
either too bashful or too ignorant to
take part in any of the debates.
One of my intimate chums wac
named Grant, who excelled in that
line and although much younger than
the average member, never hesitated
to cross swords with the older ones
and was not infrequently the victor.
He was very anxious that l should
learn to debate, and frequently urged
me TO at least make commencement,
arguing that after l had gotten over
my embarrassment, l would enjoy the
fun and excitement.
The subject of debate one evening
was to be. WAS the influence OF
Aaron Burr, upon the time in which
he lived, good or bad?" Grant knew
that / was quite an admirer Of Burr.
had read quite extensively about him,
both in history and fiction, and said
to me that this would be an excellent
opportunity for me to make my de.
but.
Grant himself was to answer one Of
the Oldest and best debaters and I
could answer the one who followed
him. He coached me very thoroughly,
told ne to listen carefully to what the
opponents urged against Burr, to cite
my proofs, showing he was neither
drunkard nor libertine, as they would
assert, and then show what debt
Washington and the country owed
him for his military skill and ability
during the Revolution. He said
must not allow myself to become fur.
ried or excited. that l could occasion
ally refer to my notes and in fact talk
and act just as If | were simply argu-
ing with one or two Of my school,
mates
During the day I thought much OF
the important part was to play in the
coming drama, and there seemed TO me
no reason why ! should not score a
complete success. But as the hour of
the meeting drew nearer the success
seemed TO grow more problematical
and by the time the debate opened my
thoughts were completely tOpsy-turvy
and l could hardly remember whether
Burr was an Italian or a Chinaman.
The man who opened the debate
showed plainly that my hero was ev.
erything that was vile and wicked and
should have been tried and convicted
as a traitor. and found myself won
dering how Grant could possibly an
swer all these terrible charges. But
his defense was splendid. He spoke in

Very Trying.

A man who usually grumbled at
everything and on every occasion, was
attacked by rheumatism. He was
carefully nursed by his wife, who was
very devoted to him, in spite of his
fault-fnding disposition. Sometimes
the sight of his suffering caused her
to burst into tears as she sat at his
bedside.
One day friend of the invalid came
in, and asked him alphabetically
how he was getting on.
BADLY, badly!" he exclaimed; "and
it's all my wife's fault"
Eyes. The doctor told me that damp
places were bad for me; and there my
wife sits and cries just to make the
air in the room moist"

NO INSURANCE LEGISLATION.
Congressman Will Talk, But Won't
Pass Bill.

Legislative experts at Washington do
not look for the passage Of an insur-
ance law during this session of Con-
gress. Statesmen of all sorts and con-
ditions will talk much about it, There
will be a great deal Of discussion on
the floors of both houses. Senators and
Representatives alike will vie with
each other in denunciation of the meth
DDS Of the insurance magnates as eX-
posed in the legislative investigation
which occurred in New York. Already
divers and sundry lawmakers at both
ends of the Capitol have submitted re-
marks that have stirred their constit-
uents to increased admiration of the
eloquence and alertness of the men
whom they have had the wisdom and
foresight to send to Congress. But in
the end nothing will be done-that is,
nothing except a heap of talk

States Insist on Rights.

A factor of no inconsiderable weight
in the matter is the insistence of near
ly all the State governments upon their
rights in the premises, and as Congress
does not seem to care to lend further
aid at this juncture to the centraliza-
ton movement which is rapidly becom-
ing an acute issue in State politics, it
is regarded as altogether likely that the
liberalization of insurance will at
least be held in allegiance for some
time yet.

No Constitutional Provision.

The reason of this is that the Judi
ciary Committees, both Of the Senate
and House, thus early have about con-
cluded that the Constitution of the
United States does not provide for the
kind of legislation which is recon-
mended in the Presidents message,

and is being advocated by Senator
Dryden, Of New Jersey, president of
enc of the big life insurance companies,
as we'll as by other financial magnates
who, like Senator Dryden, are directly
interested in insurance and are pre-
sumed, therefore, to know better than
anybody else what the eXigencies OF
the situation demand.
Senator Dryden, who studied law in
Yale, but who has not practiced much
in the courts, is of the opinion that
there is nothing in the Constitution,
either expressed or implied, which Con-
gress should regard as an inhibition in
this matter. But otheT fTsembers Of the
Senate who have practiced laL<| for
years declare that in this the New Jer-
sey statesman is in error. 1t is as
sumed that, generally speaking, the
picked lawyers of both branches of
Congress compose the Committee on
Judiciary in each house, and it can be
positively stated that as the case now
stands the majority of the members Of
both committees are opposed to the
general proposition.
1t is, of course, possible that bill
may be framed bringing the subject
within the united powers Of the Con-
stitution, but none Of the measures
thus far presented meets the objections
of most Of the experts in Congress who
have been consulted on the matter.
There Is considerable element in the
House insisting that the great Chief
Justice Marshall blazed the way for
just such an emergency as this in his
famous decision defining in effect inter
state commerce as intercourse between
States, to say nothing Of the applica-
bility to this case of another ALIEN
bracing decision of his concerning the
implied powers Of the Constitution.
Not Satisfactory to Lawyers.
But broad as these doctrines are.
they obviously are not satisfactory to
the majority Of the lawyers who are
members Of the two committees on the
Judiciary.
AS usual, the Senate has gone more
directly at the subject than has the
House. At the opening of the session
Senator Culberson, Of Texas, introduced
a resolution calling upon Congress to
investigate the matter thoroughly.
with the view of determining the dis
puted point as to the authority of the
lawmaking body to deal with the sub
ject as recommended by President
Roosevelt. This resolution was re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.
Two or three days before Con-
gress adjourned for the holiday re-
cess the Senate committee briefly con-
sidered the proposition presented by
Mr.. Culberson, and referred his resolu-
ton to a subcommittee with instruc-
tons to report in eXtenso as soon as
practicable after the holiday recess.
The members of this subcommittee,
Messrs. Clark, Spooner, Knox, Bacon,
and Culberson, are of opinion that
there Is no warrant in the Constitution
for Congress to assert over insurance
the power which the President, Senator
Dryden, and apparently all of the In
surance magnates appear to think is
inherent in the legislative department.

There are many able weekly Demo

pendent. the Springer Stockman one
at Pennington, another at Aztec, and
a whole lock of them in the Pecos
Valley Besides that there are many
decent Republican papers in the
Territory. such as the Albuquerque
Daily Journal and half a dozen week
lies that refused to wear the Bursum

voters do it all. Many
helped. 1t was a victory
for the people n good government.

the fact that it was largely through

appointment as governor of New

Possibly we condemned President
Roosevelt a little too hastily for his
action in regard to the race riots at
Brownsville, Texas. He has issued
an order for discharge without honor
of the 10 negro troops who partici-

them also deserved hanging, but a
dishonorable discharge of the whole
bunch from the army is at least par
tial punishment.
