Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-09
THE SENATE

H VERY once in a while we meet in
H. the columns of some standpat
- contemporary or in the mouth of
some person of that faith a melancholy
note concerning the evil times on which
we have fallen. What disturbs them is
not that our servants in high places
are recreant or corrupt, but that our
people are becoming such strangers
to respect for authority that they do
not hesitate to say very harsh things
about the United States senate, and
hope that it will be cleaned out even
as the Augean stables.
Are the critics justified in speaking
plainly about the senate and the need
Of radical change in its personnel? We
think so. How long since you ran your
eye over the list and assured yourself
that the recent revelations in regard
to Aldrich Hale, Lorimer, Dick, Sher-
man and Foraker are unhappily not
exceptional cases Of specially unworthy
members but welcome and hale fellow
brothers of the great majority?
If you have not recently made such
an inventory, and are disposed to chide
us for too harsh judgment, let us to-
gether run over the list. We would
fain forget Mitchell of Oregon who
died in prison disgraced, and Burton
Of Kansas, who has just completed a
term, both for serving pri-
vate interests; of Platt, the doddering
agent Of the express companies in the
senate, who wound up his Wretched
career with two family scandals that
revealed him as morally vile to the
last degree; of Quay whose name is a
synonym for the most corrupt form of
politics of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries; of Lorimer, cringing now in
pitiable fear lest the court trials in
Illinois reveal the secrets Of his pur-
chased seat.
But the senate itself will not let us
forget these cases, or that they and
others while members were given all
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-09
or President James s. Sherman President Richard

some, notably Aldrich, have grown
wealthy while in Office. But with fifty
lawyers in the senate (who outnumber
any other profession ten to one), most
of them helped to their eminence by
corporation support for very obvious
purpose, how much show has the pub
lie welfare at the hands of men of their
sympathies when such public welfare
comes into conflict with their partic-
ular interests?
If the senate has forfeited public con-
fidence it is not the people who are
to blame. If its legislation of the last
decade or so is. like chickens coming
home to roost, returning as a curse, it
is it's own fault.
The people have not lost their re-
spect for authority. 1t was never
greater than now. What they have
lost is their respect for the prostitu-
ton of authority as exemplified in the
federal senate.
