Arizona republican., 1910-05-25

Mir. Mann Make it short and to | the point.
 Mir. Martin of Colorado Is the gen. tleman fair
 Mfr Mann. Oh, do not ask me if l am fair. l will not submit to ques- ton asking me if I am fair. Now, l will discuss this question: To read such stuff raises ones esti- mate of the average Arizona legisla- ture. And on the same day the grave and august" senate consumed some- what more than an hour in debating how business should proceed. after this manner:
 MT Clapp Will the senator pardon me? l understand that the eulogies upon the late Representative Frank w. Cushman have been postponed 10 a week from Saturday.
 Mir Hale. They were postponed from last week.
 MT. Clapp. The De Armond eulogiee were postponed. and. I think, the Cushman eulogies have been post poned. but I am not quite certain.
 Mir. Jones. I desire to say that my colleague (Mr. Piles) has charge of the matter. but l understand that the Cushman eulogies have been post poned or will be postponed. MT. Hale. Well. NIT. President, the senate is likely to be left in an un- comfortable position by a change in the order for next Saturday. when after a full discussion, d deliberate engagement has been made for that day by the postponement of eulogies from last Saturday. It has been agreed by unanimous consent that nothing else shall be done on that day. Senators have counted upon that, have made their engagements, and it is almost impossible now
 MT. Carter MT. President-
 The President pro tempore. Does the senator from Maine yield to the senator from Montana?
 MT. Hale. Certainly.
 NIT. Carter l interrupt because I can relieve the senate from the neces- sity of making any further remarks along that line
 Finally. it was decided to proceed with a discussion Of the railroad bill, which has taken up most of the sen- ate's time for some three months. Senator Cummins took the floor which has often occurred to him" After he had talked to a weary length
 Mir Elkins rose.
 MT. Cummins. Does the senator from West Virginia desire 10 ask me a question?
 MT. Elkins. No: l am satisfied now l have gotten hold of the latest print of the senator's amendment of May r.
 MT. Cummins addressed the senate After having spoken for some time
 MT. Borah. NIT. President-
 The Presiding Officer (Mr Shively in the chair). Does the senator from Iowa yield to the senator from Idaho?
 MT. Borah. l observe there are some ten or fifteen senators in the chamber move that we take a recess for one hour.
 MT. Hale. I hope that will not be done.
 The President pro tempore. The question is one on agreeing to the mo- tion of the senator from Idaho that the senate take a recess for one hour tPutting the question: The ayes seem to have it.
 MT. Hale. I ask for the yeas and nays
 The yeas and nays were ordered and the secretary proceeded to call the roll.
 It took an hour to call the roll, which disclosed that the senate re- fused to take a recess, and Senator Cummins proceeded He is talking yet. We believe.
 When Uncle Joe" wants to do busi- ness in the house, he can shut off debate and something is accomplished. For many days at time. however, the house wanders all around Robin Hoods barn and arrives at no place. In the senate there is no way to limit debate. A senator can talk as long and as often as he pleases on any subject, and a vote is never reached on bill until every senator has sig nified his satisfaction with the ar engagement.
 As will be noted from one of the foregoing extracts from the Record. 'eulogies' of dead members of the house or senate, or long debates as
