"The Colonel is a type of the good
old school that is fast disappearing from
Congress. They are invariably at the
post of duty. but they have been robbed
of much of their blrthright When any
military matter Is under discussion they
generally have a nice little symposium all
TO themselves. They talk at each other
by the hour and In technical language
which the ignorant lay member cannot
pretend to understand. Although there
is a surplus of old fellows in the Senate
today, many of them are Intellectually
extraordinarily alert and are not to be de-
pissed; indeed, several are the very brains
of the Senate. Take, for instance. such
men as Senators Allison. Cullom Pettus
and Morgan-not one of them Is below
seventy-six years of age, the oldest be-
ing Senator Pettus, who is 81, and none
of their terms, too, expire until 1907.
They are sometimes referred to as the
Gray Haired Phalanx. Taking them al
together they constitute the backbone and
dignity of the Senate We could do with
a great deal more of their kind"
