KEEPING THE SENATORS LOYAL.

/ Recent events will show that there is
no substantial danger from treason in
the Senate as so many shriekers have
been vehemently alleging. In other
words, the loyalty of Senators. like that
of all other servants of the public. is a
matter that is wholly in the hands of
the people of their State. and any Sem
ator who is false to his trust can be
readily reached and properly punished.
! With the spectacle of one ex-senator in
County Jail. another only escaping a
| similar shameful fate by his death, the
trying ordeal thru which Senator Bailey.
OF Texas, is passing, and the sharp scru-
tiny and severe reminders which other
Senators have received, 1t is shown to
be only necessary for the people to as
sert themselves. If there are wicked.
unworthy Senators the people of their
States are directly responsible for them,
| and can overtake their wrongdoing with
she greatest swiftness and certainty.
| There is simply no excuse for sending a
bad man to the Senate or for keeping
him there. In every State there are
| thousands of men of the highest class
who would make good Senators, and
the people have the utmost liberty in
selection. There is no possible excuse
or justification for any State being rep
resented in the august Senate of the
United States by any but her very best
men. 1t is puerile to plead that cor
rupt Legislatures have elected such
men. Again, the fault lies directly with
the people and comes straight home to
every voter for having chosen unworthy
and treacherous men to represent them
in the Legislature, and for not holding
them accountable for their acts in the
public service. For example, no man in
Kansas can shirk his share of the re-
sponsibility for having sent Senate,
Burton to the Senate. There was al
most an unlimited number of good men
to worthily represent Kansas, and if the
the members of the Legislature who
elected him should be held to a strict
accountability by their constituents in
every County and precinct of the State.
The same remark is applicable 70 the
voters of Washington and also to those
OF Texas, should 1t result that Senator
Bailey is as corrupt as alleged. Texas
has no lack of good men to send to the
Senate, who would have done all the
good things that Senator Bailey has
done quite as well as he. All this points
TO more conscientious discharge of his
duties as citizen by every man. Trea-
son in the Senate cannot be cured by
writing sulphurous articles in the mag,
azines. but the remedy must be applied
at home and in every voting precinct
The old proverb said that the way the
streets of Jerusalem were kept so clean
was that every man swept in front OIL
his own door. II every voter in anv
State will arouse himself to his duties
and responsibilities in the selection of
public servants Of every grade and
function all graft and corruption in Of
flee will be speedily abolished

THE PRISONERS OF WAR BILL.

There will be deep regret all over
the country that Congress has failed to
take up and pass the Ex-Prisoners OF
War bill. The moment, however, tina,
the passage Of the McCumber bill was
determined upon, the prospects of the
Prisoners of War bill became hopeless
The members of both Houses felt that
at this session for the veterans, and
We're at once ill-disposed toward any
other measure that was pressed upon
them. They felt that the McCumber
bill would give every prisoner of war
substantial relief, and that no more
cult to make them understand that
the prisoners of war, like the manned
veterans, are a special class who are
particularly deserving of recognition
by the Government. Congress has lis
tened all these years to the appeals of
the manned veterans, and has been
willing to advance them out of proper
ton to others who had not actually
lost legs and arms in battle, but were
suffering from equivalent disabilities
1t is necessary TO continue the agita-
tion to convince Congressman that
while the manned soldiers were a most
deserving class, and bore on their bod
les evidence of their devotion to the
cause of the Union, that the prisoners
Of war are no less deserving. since
the fact that they were captured shows
that they were at the front and in i'm
mediate touch with the enemy. The
National Tribune will continue the agi-
tation and do its utmost to bring about
such a recognition of the just claims of
legislation for them by the coming
Congress.

THE McCuMRER BILL.

There are many comrades who seem
as yet, to be in the dark in regard to
| the absolute provisions of the McCum-

we Will reiterate and try to make clear
what we have said before:
!. The McCumber bill gives to every
man who served 80 days in the war of
the rebellion or 60 days in the Mexican
war. and is now 62 years old. $12 Il

Wh2n he is 10.

;. The pension viii not be in addi-

cert that those who are receiving less

Being mortal and an American. Gov.
Hughes can not escape the Presidential
bee. Probably no man who was ever
elected Governor after a sharp cam
paign was free from the intrusion of
thoughts of going still higher. They
are in the air which he has been and
Is breathing. II we can imagine such
thing as their not forcing themselves
upon the innermost sanctuary of his
orain' they would certainly be forced
upon him by his admirers, his support
ers and his helpers. Many of them do
this from unselfish liking and admira-
ton for the man. They have support
ed him because he represented them,
and they naturally want their repre-
sentative to go from the State House
TO the White House. Many also have
done it because they wanted to cling to
his skirts and rise with him. All of
thsse are In a-plenty around Gov.
Hughes. and the wonder is rather that
they have not been more demonstra-
tive He has borne himself with COM
mendable modesty and dignity SO far,
and added to his reputation by his sin
sle-minded devotion to the interests Of
his State. where he rightfully recog-
nizes there is an ample sufficiency for
all his energies and abilities for the
next two years. If he continues in this
way his prospects for the Presidency
will be much enhanced, and the proba-
bilities are that he will so continue.

LOADING THE ARK.

This is a matter which requires tht
closest calculation" remarked Noah tc
Japhet, as they studied the buildins
plan of the ark, and the manifest OF
the animals to be taken on. ITO begin
with, the pair of elephants will require
at least 20 cubits of floor space each
way
Room for the elephants amt huncfl-
ing me so much," answered Japhet in
that slangy way for which he afterward
became SO famous, "as for the measly
musketos. One O. them-say nothing
of a pair-will take up more room than
there is in the whole ark"

There seems to be no trouble about
mixing schools in Hawaii, where there
are more than $4,000 japanese. The
Japan children attend a japanese
school from o'clock till 9 in the morn
ing, when they go to an American pub
lie school from 9 until 2. As soon as
released from this they return to the
japanese school. thus putting in the
entire day in school. OF the 1919
pupils in the public schools only 457
are Americans, while 1913 are Japs
and 1.4S9 are Chinese The Hawaiians

were only checked by the condition o.
the public Treasury and the uncertainty
of the amount that would be required
to extend the benefits of the system to
the widows of veterans. At the time
the bill was sent to the House of Rep

most all the experienced friends Of pen

Such was the impression conveyed to
Commander-in- Chief Brown when he

die by the other House. 1t was only

the McCumber bill AS soon as Com

the approval of the Grand Army of the

he became warmly helpful in securing
its passage He brought the Chairmen
of the two committees together and ia
cilitated their work of presenting it to
the House and its passage thru that
body.
The first questions he asked Com
mander-in- Chief Brown were:
''Is this the bill you want? Does it
satisfy you?"
Commander-in-C Chief Brown assured
him that the veterans not only wanted

also that they wanted II passed just as

THE PENSION AGENCIES.

At this moment it seems that there
is no further danger of the abolition of
the pension agencies. as contemplated
by the House bill. The passage Of the
McCumber bill will bring SO much ad-
ditionsl work upon the Pension Bureau
that the pension agencies will be nee
essary adjuncts in executing the law.
1t will be impossible for the Pension
Bureau, for year or two at least. to
handle this great volume of business
without the help of all the pension
agencies that are now established.

disaster occurred, and tho the Colonial

told the Legislature that he would pay
the whole amount himself if they did
not authorize his action. When his
term of five years in British Guiana
was up he wanted to be reappointed
for another term, but the leading citi-

complaint against him was the vigcr
with which he attacked the planters
