Every few years the house gets the idea
that because 1t has more members, it is
of more Importance than the senate A
bunch of this sort always leads to grief
for the house. The senate takes a day off
to spank the over-grown brother, and then
resumes the even tenor of its way: It was
kicked in the Stats, the house gets it.
The senate admits that it is the. boss of
the situation, also that it is the safety
valve and governor of the legislative en-
CINE. which keeps the concern from run
ming away or blowing up. Meanwhile the
house members continue to borrow money

Hot words were she'd during the
closing scenes of the Yeager-Aikman
contest case in the senate last evening,
and the attorneys were sandbagging
each other in lively style with hints of
dark jobbery. A lot of the senators
thought it would be establishing bad
precedent to take a hand in the case,
as no man would be safe from IAN
noyance'' when elected by a small
margin. AS margins are becoming
thinner each year, there is much logic
in this guess. On the other hand, ap-
pears the strange coincidence. The
person who was being annoyed" be-
longed TO the majority, causing a COM
plication with the conscience of some
of the thin-skinned members.
The funeral of the contest case was
we'll attended, both by sections and
mourners-but the sections were in the
majority.
