SENATOR BAILEY INDICATED

Senator Bailey Of Texas has been
vindicated by reelection to the United
States senate. His political enemies
were confident Of defeating him almost
to the end Of the campaign that had
been most bitterly waged against him
The charges related to his alleged asso-
citation with the Standard Oil COM
His defense was that his only connec-
tion with such corporations was in his
professional capacity as lawyer
The allegations Of graft had no other
basis, he contended, than fees for his
services as an attorney.
SO far as public opinion outside OF
Texas is concerned the weight OF iudg-
mcnt must be favorable to Senator
Bailey No imputation upon his char
actcr was I'm evidence during the long
contest against him. From a distance
It looked as If his most violent oppo-
ncuts were actuated largely by jeal-
ousy or revenge.
It is a matter of current history that
lIlf Ntl AllflAt uIOl btlldNOA ipdllt9 was
maugurated and conducted by the
Hearst yellow papers in a spirit of re-
venge because Senator Bailey, on the
floor of the senate, denounced William
r. Hearst and his pruient publications.
Since that incident there has been
nothing too mean and ugly for the
Hearst papers to say about Bailey.
But all these sinister and untruth-
ful attacks have failed ignominiously,
as has everything else that bore the
Hearst stamp. Even Hearst himself
has been kicked out OF the Democratic
party Of California and repudiated ut
tcrly by the people of New York, and
today his string Of yellows from New
York to Los Angeles have no more in
nuence than a last years mud dauber's
nest.
Although Senator Bailey is among
the younger members of the senate he
is recognized as one of the foremost
representatives of the south in the
upper house of congress. Six years ago,
when only 3S years old, he was elected
to his first senatorial term. At that
time he was a member of the house of
representatives. His ability is attested
in the fact that he is an acknowledged
leader of the Democratic minority in
the senate.
Texas should be congratulated upon
its retention of the services of Sena-
tor Bailey in its congressional repre-
sentation. He is not of the class of
members of the senate whose togas are
blazoned with dollar marks indicative
of the qualifications" whereby the
togas We're secured. An example of that
class is seen in the choice of a sena-
tor just made by Colorado. A multi
named Guggenheim, with
but money to recommend him,
will sit in the place to be vacated by
Senator Patterson on March 4.
Texas has cause for pride in its
choice of a United States senator, while
Colorado has cause for humiliation

ARCTIC WEATHER PREVAILS
OVER EUROPEAN CONTINENT
By Associated Press.


LONDON, Jan. 23.--Arctic weather
conditions continue to prevail all over
Europe, while curiously enough the
actual arctic regions, northern Nor
way and Iceland, report the prevalence
of mild and rainy weather. All the
vessels reaching British ports are COW
cred with long icicles and have snow
on their decks.
kilograms received from all parts of
the continent give almost incredible re-
ports of the exereme rigor of the
weather and consequent suffering.
Many dead are reported. In Austria
two sentinels were found dead at their
posts as a result of the cold. The
heavy snow continues in Russia and
Turkey and the Danube is frozen over
in several places in Roumania.
Slight earthquakes are reported from
Batoum. The blizzard continues at
Constantinople, where the snow is said
to be several feet deep. Navigation on
the Bosphorus and the Black sea has
been practically suspended.

Amends Old Ordinance

City Attorney Hewitt explained to the
council that the new ordinance amend
ed the old so that the shoestring strip
residents came in on the voting PROPOSE
ton.
They are now one of us and are en-
titled to vote on Thursday, February
21, on annexation of East Hollywood
and Cahuenga," said he.
Councilman Wren said he understood
that some opposition existed in Holly
wood.
Director Freeman of the Hollywood
Cemetery association then said:
I'VE object to having the cemetery in
the city. The taxes will be too heavy.
We would like to have our strip left
out
Attorney Frank W. Hovey of the an
neXationists spoke in opposition to
Director Freeman. He said:
The cemetery is in the center of the
strip to be annexed. Hollywood is a
city and cannot consolidate until the in
tervening strip is part of Los Angeles.
Then Hollywood will make move.
Citizens in the district will gladly
pay the small additional taxes. 1 defy
Mr.. Freeman to produce any lot owner
in the cemetery who will oppose an
neXation on that ground. Certainly the
dead will not oppose it. The living
want progress. This is in the line OF
progress.
IF we were to amend this petition
now we would have to start all over
again. We spent $4,000 in getting this
movement launched. 1t will take year
to do it all over again. 1t has been on
for a year, and until now the cemetery
people did not object. The richest
classes are buried in this cemetery. and
there will be no objections to the taxes

A new date was set for the East

The new ordinance extends the right

newly annexed residents of the San

voters will have chance to help along
the good work of consolidation.
There was only one note of discord,
when a representative of the Holly

preferred to remain out of the city.

inherent part in the American idea OF

Although novel and perhaps vaguely
theoretical on It's face, Mr.. Jordan's
suggestion Is amply supported by ex-
Derience. This is an era Of congresses
and conferences. Representatives Of
widely separated but yet identical in

mutual problems. State rivalry where

Is all right, and state cooperation is
but a step in advance OF this. As Mr..
Jordan observes in the course Of his
argument, the governor Is direct rep
resentative of his people and is a ft
ambassador to present their wishes and
their will before a national congress.

Proposed Congress Of Governors.

: Proposed Congress Of Governors.
The public was naturally startled by
the bold declaration OF Secretary Root
some weeks ago to the effect that the
national government would be called
upon to correct the evils ignored or
neglected by the Individual states, The
speech was interpreted as a threat Of
Capitalization and a blow at state
rights. Obviously where the states en-
act and enforce wholesome laws, pro-
tecting the citizen in his rights under
the national constitution, the govern
ment at Washington could not reason
ably Interfere. To do so would be an
act OF usurpatlon and MS such lead to
protest.

the states are the true and proper con-
