to be held in Washington after Easter.
1t is stated that the committee was
appointed to investigate whether it was
best to place a ban on all the secret

woodmen of the World, Tribe of Ben
Hur, Maccabees, ETC., are all hit by the
investigation, but the outcome remains
to be seen. 1t is stated that the con-

conclusion being reached by the arch
bishops, so that two reports will be
made to the hierarchy. 1t is stated
Archbishop Mesmer dissented and
rumor has it that he favored ban on
many of the leading societies of the
country.

Changes in the United States Senate
~~~~~

apparently lie succeeded by a Repub-
lican IN 1909, the Democrats now
have no senators north of Mason ana
Dixon's line. The defeat Of tbs
brilliant Carmack and the sturdy vet
Grams Berry amid Blackburn by mel
of lesser AFFINITY, such as "EIddliLg
Bob Taylor of Tenn ssee,
and the chr, eating JEFF Davis OF
Arkansas, can hardly be called a
triumph for the principle of greater
popular voice in the election OF sen
ators. The defeat of Dryden OF New
jersey was a protest against the mon
ely power, but it is not GEAR that much
if anything was gained in the election
of Briggs.
The two new senators whose per
iormances will be scrutinized VITA
greatest int rest at the start will be
Borah of Idaho, who has just come
into national tame in The Haywood
trial and given evidence of ability as
an advocate, and Guggenheim Of Col
orado, who has his great wealth and
the un~questionable circumstances OF
his election to thank for his notoriety.
In addition to these, the blind Gore
of Alabama, who is credited with
remarkable feats of memory and great
picturesque ability as a speaker, will,
if he is elected, NATURALLY attract
a peculiar attention. But the effect
of all this new blood cannot be easily
forecast. The senate has an aweiIs
effect on new members, and there are
few who, like LaFollette and Bev-
eridge, are able to early assert them
sleeves on the floor. Yet it is prop.
able that there will be evidences OF
the infusion OF new blood other than
the mere outward change to be noted
from the senate galleries, and otner
than the necessary putting forth OF
a new champion of the republican
side to take Spooner's place IN meet,
the attacks Of 1illmap, Bailey and
Rayner. 1t is probable, on the whole,
that progress viii be found to haye
ben MADE in the process of bringing
the senate closer to the people,
