THE INSURGENTS AND THE
SENATE COMMITTEES.

Senator la Toilette made a point
which viii be explained away with diff
fculty, when he suggested that tn,
Senate ought to have a chance at least
to read the great appropriation bill.
before passing them. lie pointed oul
that the Naval Committee required fiji
teen days TO consider the navy bin
after the House committee and the
House had, 50 far as possible, perfected
it,. lie thought 1T was rather a large
order for the Senate 20 consider it as
a Sl56,00000O appropriation deserved
ina two hours.
incidentally, the Wisconsin animal
verted to the present makeup of upper
house committees. He declared that all
the big, dominating business of Iegisla-
tion is controlled by about a third of
the Senate, by reason of controlling the
great committees in which the impoT
tant business Is handled. lie opined
that a better distribution of committee
powers and responsibilities could be
made. by which more mems energies
could be brought to bear, and a few
would be relieved of the need Of over
working themselves while the many
loafcd
This sort OF statement of the case Is
not to be sneered out of consideration.
1t was noteworthy that Senator la
Toilette was backed. ON the occasion of
this initial attack on Senate customs
and rules, by "a goodly group of in
surgeuts, manifestly ready TO stand
with him d fight should develop. He
used 20 fight alone; now he has a force
OF supporters; and that force is getting
ready 30 make itself felt.
1t is quite unnecessary that few
men should have 10 do all the work of
the Senate, as they now do. Senator
La Toilette is right, entirely right, in
his arraignment of the system 1t
ought To be changed, and it viii be-
The fight may be won soon OF late;
but it viii Zee won. It is not because
they have such inoTdinate greed for
work that "a few of the veterans as
sumo to do it all; it Is because they
want the power in their own hands; the
control of legislation and policies and
programs This very thing S what has
brought the Senate into more or less
disrepute with millions of people. The
is going to air the situation;
and in doing SO 1t will gain new
strength The elders would do well to
yield gracefully, loosen their grip on
the machine. and let the Senate run its
affairs IN its own ways. Mr.. La Fol-
Iette won the point he was making, and
got postpouement of the navy bills
He won it because he
was right and entitled to win.

The correspondent adds that the use
of the machine must for some time
be restricted to scouting in army ma.
neuveTs and for sport.
But the fact remains that the ma
chimes can and are being placed on the
market in a commercial way and are
being disposed of by the builders. The
correspondent says that seventy five
flying machines are now in course OF
construction. As the Wrights charge
$1,000 for one Of their machines. it is
evident that persons who buy them are
not buying a toy they expect TO cast

An Open Letter
To Business Men

Isn't it a fact, that, for obvious reasons.
no business man would think of advertising IN
Tuesday mornings papers for Wednesday,
business-at least not if he could use a paper
published Tuesday evening?
principle that is right on one day of the
week, certainly holds good on another.
Before the advent of the Sunday Evening
edition OF The Times, advertisers had no alter
native but to use the Sunday morning papers
in advertising for Mondays business
The Sunday morning field was then, and is
now, divided not only among the local ive-cent
papers, but also shared by half a dozen bulky
magazine Sunday papers from New York and
Philadelphia. This fact offers stronger rea-
son for using an evening paper. Sunday for
Mondays business than can be supplied to
any other day of the week
The Sunday evening edition of The Times
is a straight daily newspaper covering the
Sunday evening field without competition. It
is bought by the progressive element in Wash
ngton because it contains news which hereto
fore was impossible to secure before Monday
morning.
1t reaches the buying public of Washington
fourteen hours nearer buying time than the
bulky Sunday morning papers. It's use en-
ables the advertiser 20 secure Mondays bust
ness cheaper than that of any other day of the
week
Any advertiser can prove this statement to
his own profit Why not prove it to yours
