VIEWED BY AN EDITOR.

Editor w. C. Deming of the Wyo
ming Tribune recently visited Wash.
ington. 1t was his good fortune to be
in the senate chamber at the time Sen,
ator Warren was urging that the gov.
eminent bear the cost of meat inspec-
ton and he was delighted at the man
ner in which Mornings able senator
was able to cope with such men as the
brilliant Senator Beveridge of Indiana.
In a Washington letter to his paper Mr..
Deming compliments both Senators
Clark and Warren in the following
manner:
1T is not mere idle fattery or 'sena-
torial courtesy when / say | felt proud
of mornings place n part in the
United States mate There has been
a long established impression that the
strong men of the senate come from
the east but It is no longer true. With
New York's Two seats vacant, as De
pew and Plat are both sick at home
N will probably never return; with
Aldrich Of Rhode Island, once called
the master of the senate now some
what discredited for his failure to pre-.
vent rate legislation; men like Allison,
Dolliver of Iowa, Burkett and Willard
of Nebraska; Bailey and Culberson of
Texas; Carter OF Montana; Warren
and Clark Of Wyoming are occupying
a big place in the United States senate.
When Senator c. ID. Clark of our own
state, dignified, well-dressed, debonair,
and judicial in his appearance
walks down the senate aisle, people
in the galleries, If they do not know
already inquire who he is. 1t was a
real pleasure to walk into the beauti-
full of the committee on judiciary,
inmany respects the most important in
the United States senate and find Sen
ator Clark at tie head of the table sur
rounded by the leading lawyers of the
upper bench of congress. 1t is the first
time in the history of the republic that
a senator west of the Mississippi has
ever been chairman of the judiciary
committee.
Il reached Washington the evening
before Senator Warren engaged with
Senator Beverage in an animated, run
ming debate on the e inspection
bill and was, fortunately for me, in the
senate gallery when this interesting
colloquy took place. l was particular
ly pleased with the opportunity to in
duige my curiosity in seeing just how
our senator would comport himself on
the floor of the upper chamber of con,
gress. Senator Warren was contend
ing that the cost Of meat inspection
should be paid by the government and
was therefore supporting the house
amendment. Senator Beveridge stood
by his proposition that the cost of in.
spection should be paid by the pack
ers. The discussion in which many
senators engaged lasted for about two
hours, a large part of which time Sena-
tor Warren vas on the floor speaking
directly to the question, showing in a
convincing manner that If the cost
were placed upon the packers it would
be assessed by them against the pro-
Queer, answering all kinds of ques-
tons pertinent to the live stock indus
try, or crushing the eloquent Beveridge
with a wittcism or apt story much to
the amusement of the gallery and the
discontinue of the champions of the
Beveridge bill. Senator Beveridge did
not make a great showing in this cross
fire debate, probably because he was
talking about something of which he
knew little, while Senator Warren was
perfectly at home on every phase of
he live stock industry. 1 asked an east
ern newspaper correspondent one day
the secret of Senator Warren's success
in the United States senate. He in.
stantly replied, Warren works like
the devil all the time" I think there
should be coupled with this persistency
the fact, as l observed and also learn
