THE WAYS OF THE SENATE.

From the Mae Woods suit II ap.
pears the senator's are in the habit
or at least some OF them-of hav'
Ing little mook-marrlago parties.
He was not really married to Mae
Wood. II was just A KIND OF A
SENATORIAL MAKE-BELIEVE.
II was not even genuine enough
FOR Mae TO recover any damages
sort of semi-poitical matrimonial
fake.
The dear old senator from the
Empire state is in his dotage any
how. politically speaking. and meant
nothing.
IL is characteristic OF the upper
chamber-the Hall OF Fame and I'm
limited Debata-TO DO THINGS IN
A NEBULAR GASEOUS MANNER.
But the senility of Platt and the
vaeuity OF Depew are appalling
omens of what the senate is becom-
ing
Plat and Depew are the highest
flower of machine rule, corporate
diotation In American politics.
II In time they were made impos-
slble on the Oregon plan.
