Senator Pettus was always champion
Of ne dignity of the senate When the

-the mere suggestion on the part Of the
presiding officer that She junior senator
from Alabama should be called 10 the
chair was sufficient TO bring order When
he presided he handled the senate az a
schoolmaster conducts his school
Il Is 20 be said that this regard for leg
islattve dignity is much nore charactevis-

Of The senate are worth preserving. Look

honor was nerited | wish I could say
the same for ali their colleagues from 9th

regard the senate as more or less of a pri-
gate asset, which can be utilized for per-

1t has been said IN recent years of Nor

Il must be remembered tbs; IN the south
tho antaSonism between Individual demo-

publican. When Mr.. Pcttus said Of Scna-

adversary over sixty years he said some
thing which would be almos, inexplicable
TO the average northern man. but II Is the
polite expression OF a positive fact The
two senators differed so often that a flip
pant newspaper article not long ago sug-
Eested that their one bond Of union was
a common fondness for chewing tobacco.
But OF neither man has il ever been said
that he was anything but absolutely hon
est and high minded. Against neither has
Il been charged that he represented any
thing in the senate except the people Of
his sta:c and the people OF the United
States Their strongest political adver-
saries In the senate regarded Morgan and
Pettus with sincere respect and warm per-
sonal Affection fitting tribute TO states
men OF so admirable a type.
