The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1909-09-09

A reverend correspondent of the
Sunday Memphis Commercial Appeal
indulges in harsh comment upon
Southern Senators, and makes in
vidious comparisons between those
who now answer to the names" OF
various states, and their predecessors,
basing his criticism upon roll calls
at the recent called session.
There is not a parallel cited in
which the roll call testimony is not
probably against him. He also shows
lack of familiarity with the Senate's
rule of courtesy or honor, that puts
Senator always in evidence, whether
in his seat or not. A Senator desr-
ing to be out of the chamber, wheth-
er for committee room and depart
ment work or to leave the city,
secures ga pair" from an opponent
upon every issue in which he is inter
ested, and failing in that, does not
leave the room.
II the Reverend correspondent will
go to the record, he will find that the
Lodge 'Froce Bill'' was defeated by
the paired vote OF an absentee Cali
fornia Senator. We have never heard
OF an intentional violation OF a sena-
torial pair, and by virtue OF this un-
written and time honored rule, Sem
ators always vote Many Of those re-
ported absent or not voting, are lis
tening with interest, tally sheets in
hand, to the roll call. and have offset
or killed opposing votes.
This courtesy Is carried TO the ex-
tent of agreement not to call up bills
in which a senator is interested dur
cling his absence from city or cham
her.
II senator is accidentally absent
from the chamber when an important
matter Unexpectedly comes up, the
chairman of his caucus committee at
once secures him pair. To guard
against this contingency, many sena-
tors have general pairs.
He harshly comments upon the alb
sence Of Senator McLaurin, when the
