Around Mr.. Roots assignment to i'm
portant committees is going to hinge a
good deal of the fight the "insur-
gents' are planning to make. While
title to desirable committee places, in
view of his distinguished service in the
cabinet and universally recognized
ability, there are other new senators
who cannot see why their services be-
fore coming to the senate should not
also be recognized. For instance. La
Toilette of Wisconsin and Cummins of
Iowa, both had been governors of
their states and had national repu-
tations before becoming senators. 1t is
inconsistent, declare their friends, that
distinguished service in the federal
government should be recognized and
distinguished service in the state ig-
nored.
Senator Cummins is yet in ignorance
of what his committee assignments will
eventually be, but unless the revolt
against the senate organization sue
cee1s he cannot expect to secure any
important committee places. Senator
LaFollette is chairman of the select
committee on investigation of the Po-
tomac river front at Washington,
which makes him about as influential
in gislation as the colored messenger
who sits at his committee room door.
ne also holds membership on the com
mittees on the census, civil service and
retrenchment, immigration, Indian af
fairs and pensions, not one of which
is regarded as an important committee.
That LaFollette has been the victim
of prejudice and injustice in the com
mittcc assignments cannot be denied.

STRONG COMPETITION FOR
IMPORTANT COMMITTEES

Take the case Of Senator Hemenway
of Indiana, who was elected SENATOR
the same month of the same year
LaFollette was elected and who took
his seat only few months earlier.
Hemenway is member of appropri-
ations and military affairs, two Of the
most important committees of the SEN
ate, his other committee places being
on the University of the United States,
of which he is chairman, claims, In
dian depredations and railroads. Crane
of Massachusetts,, who became q SEN
ator only year ahead of LaFollette, is
member Of two important commit
tees, interstate commerce and post
| offices and post roads, besides being
chairman of the committee on Canadian
relations, and member of the commit
tees on commerce, industrial exposi-
tions and to examine the several
branches of the civil service. Com
merce, which is here ranked among
Cranes minor assignments, is more
important than any committee Of
which LaFollette is a member, with the
possible exception of pensions.

POWER OF OLD-TIME
SENATORS IN JEOPARDY
Insurgents in Both Houses to Con
test for Committee Plums-Unus-
ually Large Number Of
Vacancies

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-The Gin
surgents' of the house of representa-
tives will have to share the limelight
with the "insurgents of the United
States senate. The fight for reform in
the upper body promises to be as siren
uous as in the lower one. 1t will begin
Immediately upon the convening of the
extra session next month and continue
until the new congress is fully or
ganized.
1t has been many years since there
have been vacant SO many important
| committee places in the senate as will
have to be filed in organizing that
body for the work of the 61st congress.
For instance, there will be three va
cancies on the appropriations commit
tee, caused by the death of Senator
Allison and the retirement of Senator
Hemenway of Indiana (Republican)
and Senator Teller of Colorado (Dem-
ocrat). The chairmanshlp of the COM
lison, will fall to Senator Hale Of
Maine. Among aspirants for the two
Republican vacancies are Senators
Wetmore of Rhode Island, Kean of
New Jersey, Dolliver of Iowa and Mel
son of Minnesota. Democratic possi-
bilities for Mr. Teller's place are
Simmons of North Carolina and Nc
Laurin of Mississippi. There is no
chance of any of the young "insur-
gents' getting on the appropriations
committee, the most they can hope for
being to get some of the desirable
places to be vacated by the older SEN
ators who will be promoted.
The most important committee of
the next congress in the senate will be
that on finance, which will handle the
tariff bill for the upper house. Here
also there are vacancies. made by death
and retirement. Mr.. Allison was a
member of this committee and retiring
members are Hansbrough of North Da-
kota and Platt of New York, Republi-
cans, and Teller of Colorado, Demo
crat. Senator Hopkins of Illinois is
also "a member of this committee, and
should he fail of reelection there will
be fifth vacancy Republican sena-
tors regarded as possibilities are Lodge
of Massachusetts, Carter of Montana,
Nelson of Minnesota, McCumber of
North Dakota, Clapp of Minnesota, and
Beveridge of Indiana. The only Dem
ocrat prominently mentioned for Sena-
tor Teller's place is Clay of Georgia
There has been some talk of Root of
New York for Platt's place, and he
probably could have the appointment
should it be in line with his desires
1t is considered certain that Mr.
Root, having served both as secretary
of war and secretary of state, will
have place on the military affairs and
foreign relations committees.

BORROW'D
PROPERTY

For some time past two friends
named Burke and Bartness have been
dwelling together amicably in tent
on the outskirts of town. Included in
the accessories Of the establishment
were two shotguns which Bartness had
borrowed from Nels johnson. Going
home last Friday, slightly the worse
for liquor, without means to further
quench his thirst, and finding his part
ner absent, Burke's eye lit on the shot
guns. The problem was solved. He at
once removed the artillery and brought
1T up town, where he succeeded in hy-
pothecating it. On the best one he
secured $4.65, and on the other 90,
princely sums of money to man with
burning thirst and without the price.
After blowing in the proceeds of his
crime, Burke escaped to Golconda, the
haven of the Winnemueca crooks.

The explanation lies in the fact
that Hemenway and Crane are ON good
terms with the ruling senate pow
ers, while LaFollette is not. The lat
ter had the bad judgment, il not the
bad tasts, to criticize his senate col

is being punished for it. Herein lies
