Columbus, o., Jan. 22.-As antic-
jpated from the first, the Republican
factional row over the chairmanship
Of the senate finance COMMITTEE
proved to be a complete fasco. The
twelve Republican senators who were
unable to control a small minority
Of their own members and expected
the Democrats to pun them out of
the hole, succeeded only I'm heap
ing humiliation upon themselves.
Even thejs' own colleague, Senator
Mather of Akron, whom they select
ed TO be their for leader, after their
attempt to repudiate one of the first
acts of his leadership, uncoGSed
enough sarcasm to dub them 'the
sanctified twelve"
Because they could not control
their own side of the senate these
gsanctihed twelve" tried to shift
their own responsibility upon the
unsanctifed Democrats by falsely
charging that the Democratic minor
ity was in alliance with George B.
Cox. That there was no such al
liance was positively denied by the
Democratic senator's, by Governor
Harmon and by the state Democratic
organization, all of whom the Repub-
lican papers tried to involve in the
factional Republican quarrel
In this frantic effort to misrepre-
sent the Democratic minority OF the
senate, the governor and the state
Democratic organization, the Repub-
lican leaders and papers were abet-
ted by certain mercenary papers hav-
ing no political affiliations.
What was the motive back OF all
this misrepresentation To breed dis
cord, II possible between the Demo
cratic governor, Democratic minority
of the general assembly and Demo-
cratic state organization as an off
set TO the hopelessly divided Re-
publican majority Of the state senate
and the discredited state Republican
organization. The sole motive of the
Democratic senator's was to unite
Governor Harmons hands If possi-
BILE.
That there was no alliance OF any
kind with Cox was proved beyond
dispute by Governor Harmon's mes
sage to the general assembly. The
governor hurled into the teeth of the
falsifiers his demand for a full and
complete investigation of Cincinnati,
which Cox has twice succeeded in
having stepped through the power of
political machinery within the party
that is ever ready to accept his aid
and support and the votes of his CO.
horst, whether i)r state officials,
for president or for a seat in the
United States senate. If the "sancti-
fled twelve are in earnest about
their animosity toward Cox let them
join with the IA Democratic seiators
in putting through the senate and
laying at the door of the house a

resolution to finish the investigation
of Cincinnati.
The Democratic senators smoked out
the 10 anti-Balter Republican senator's
i'm another way They said to the
''sanctifed twelve" you committed
the original sin when you voted sol
Idly on the Republican side to tie
the hands of Governor Harmon by
confirming the Harris lap-over APP
continents. The Democratic eena-
tors proposed to the twelve dis
gruntled senator's to help them get
rid Of Baker, not only to remove him
from the chaiumanship of the finance
committee but to take him out of
the committee altogether II they in
turn would help to undo the Unjust
ice that was perpetrated upon the in
coming Democratic administration
the very first day Of this extraordi-
nary session.
Here Is where the "sanctified
twelve showed that their PARTISAN.
ship was stronger than their patriot
ism. They suddenly got cold feet
and concluded TO accept the Cox sem
ator for the head OF their finance
committee rather than to help right
the wrong committed against Gov
ernor Harmon before his Inaugural
ton
So that, finally, responsibility for
Cox's man Baker remaining at the
head of the senate finance commit
tee rests upon the heads IL not the
conscience Of those Republican SEN
tors whom Senator Mather has
dubbed "the sanctifed twelve"
Here is another phase of the mat
ter The chairman of a committee
does not control a committee unlels
the committee is willing to be con-
troiled. Senator Rathburn is also a
member of that committee. There
was no demand from Rathburn's
friends to remove Baker from the
committee but simply to substitute
Rathburn for chairman and leave
Baker on the committee. II Cox
could control the committee through
Baker as chairman, he could have
controlled it as. successfully through
Baker as a member of that commit
tee. Hence it was not control of the
committee but the chairmanship the
Burton senators were trying to take
away from Cox's man Baker, and
they yielded both rather than give
Governor Harmon square deal on
appointments that ought to be ac
corded him.
And while so much hullabaRoo has
been made because Of this ss'gnment
Of a Cox senator to the senate finance
committee, nothing has been said by
anybody about the assignment (of

SENATOR RAYNER CALLS
PRESIDENT NATURE FAKER
Iels Senate that there Such Animals Extant as
White RhinocerOs or an Orang Outing With Three
Inch Nose-Pay of Judges Increased-Senators
Again have Fun at Expense of Roosevelt

Washington, Jan. Consideration
OF proposed increases of salaries of
federal judges was resumed In the
senate late Thursday when the legis-
latiye, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill was taken mp BY a vote
of 38 to 81 the salaries of SO circuit
judges were increased from $1,000
to $40, 900. Later the senate recon-
sidered this action, fixing the salar-
les of circuit judges at $500 The
salaries of district judges were In
creased from $4,000 to $4,000.
Senator Bailey in commenting on
the increase of salaries for judges,
declared that the states that pay the
highest salaries to judges generally
have the poorest decisions.
Senator Pile insisted that the
judges Of the country could earn
much more than they do and that
$4,000 could readily be earned by
some district judges
Combating the idea that 10000
Is a salary within the reach of most
lawyers, Mr. Haley declared that
Daniel Webster could not have made
that much money.
Senator Rayner of Maryland then
created a rustic in the senate by
commenting on the president pro.
posed hunting trip to Africa "only
six weeks ago." he said, fit was am
nounced that great faunal natural

That Japanese tangle in California
promises to be fully as interesting
as the former. When California first
attempted to legislate against the
Orientals, President Roosevelt sue
ceeded in putting a stop to it. Cali
fornia legislators are apparently
angry with themselves for hayngper-
mitted him to look them out of coun-
tenance and WELD his big stick over
them so effectually. They have re-
turned to their abandoned talk with
a determination not to be pulled off
or driven off. The result will prob
ahly be more radical legislation than
was proposed in the beginning, fol-
lowed by a season of diplomatic
sparring between Washington and
