THE SENATE AND THE PRESS.

If the reports from Washington be
correct the decision of Aldrich and
Hale to retire from the Senate and the
announcement that Senator Gallinger,
of New Hampshire will probably fol-
low them, have made the reactionary
members Of that body quite gloomy be-
cause OF the possibility of resignation
becoming epidemic In spite of the
fact that the Republican standpatters
are thick-skinned they are beginning
to feel the power of the public press.
The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Sun quotes one Of them
as saying that he feels like rendering
his resignation for the reason that ser
vice in the Senate has ceased to be
an honor, and it IS not pleasant for
the average Senator to pick up a news
paper or magazine and find him
self referred. to in cartoon, editorial or
news artiele'as a. hireling of private
interests or denounced as the tool of a
system.
But the standpat Senators are them
selves responsible for inviting the
shafts of the press which are making
them vince and squirm in their
seats. 1t would not do to charge that
the press has robbed public service
of the honor and responsibility that
should go with it." because the Sena-
tors have done that by labor,ng at all
times for rich and powerful individu-
ais or corporations and neglecting the
interests of the people whose servants
they are supposed to be.
If the standpatters of the Senate
now realize that service in that body
has been brought into disrepute they.
not the press, are responsible for it.,
hence they might profit by pondering
over the truth Of the old Arabic prov
erb which assures us that Eel. ckens
will come home to roost."

ELKS GETTING READY TO

Barbecue and Dance to Them at Log

Atlanta, Ga, April 29-Great inter
est is being taken by Elks in the an
nual meeting of the State Association
of the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks, which is to be held in
Macon May 1919. One of the big
features of the convention will be the
old-fashioned barbecue, reception and
dance to the Elks and their friends
at the Log Cabin club. 1t is under
stood that liberal prizes, aggregating
$1,000 will be offered by the Macon
lodge.
The Georgia State Association OF

and has grown until there are nearly
5000 members in the state.

NO SOUTH POLE EXPEDITION.

The scheme for a dash for the Sou n
Pole planned by the National Geo
graphical Society and the Arctic Club
has collapsed because of a lack Of
funds, hence the British expedition
will have the field to itself. The sum
of $4,000 was asked to fit out the
American expedition, but the public
refused to enthuse over the scheme or
to furnish the needed cash greatly to
the disappointment and chagrin of the
professional pole chasers in Washing
ton.
AS matter of fact thoroughly
Disguised public decline to take any
further interest in polar exploitation
which would probably result in anoth-
er Cook-Peary controversy, which the
country does not feel that it would be
able to stand
Therefore, it seems that Com
mander" Peary, who is commander BY
courtesy only, will be compelled to en-
gage in the rather prosaic work of at
tending to his business as a civil en-
gineer in the navy department, for he
has admitted that he merely approxim-
ated the North Pole.
"Geographers say, remarked the
Washing on Post, in this connection.
that conditions viii not permit its
exact location by explorers. 1t is there
fore altogether unlikely that any two
expeditions would agree, within sew
eral miles, where the nails should be
driven. We are told the other day
that unsurmountable Nj. Mckinley had
been scaled. But who cares? Nor
would we turn hair should the Brit
ish explorers succeed in annexing the
bottom of the world"
1t is evident from the scant attention
tina. tie press gave the proposed South
Pole scheme that the country has been
surfeited with such expeditions the
results of which are of no value n a
scientific sense or in any other way.

THE CANDIDACY OF TAGGART.

A serious rupture in the Indiana
Democracy is developing as a result of
the efforts of Thomas Taggart, aided
by his political machine, to secure the
nomination for the United States sen
atorship, hence Mr. Bryan is to be
commended for taking a hand in the
contest in opposition to Iaggart's can
didacy. 1t is very much more than a
local question confined to Indiana, be-
cause it concerns every Democrat in
the country who is working and pray
ing for the rehabilitation of his party
and its restoration to power.
The nomination of Taggart for the
senatorship would spell disaster for
the Democracy of the Hoosier State,
because there can be DO doubt that
thousands of Democrats would prefer
defeat without him to victory with
him, hence they would support Bever-
idge, who is. real!ya much better Dem
ocrat than Tagg-rt, although nomin-
ally a Republican.
Mr.. Taggart IS not a strong can
didate." says the New York World in
discussing the nesd"of one for the IN
diana Democracy. HE is a machine
politician allied with special privil-
eyes. He represents the same reac-
+;o,,,o,,, IA a,,o,,og =, 49, ~, =, 80 =
party that have already been repudiat-
ed by the Republicans OF Indiana
This is true, and because it is true
every Democrat in the country who
has the welfare of his party at heart
hopes that the Indiana Democratic
convention will not nominate Thomas
Taggart or any other man for whom
Democrats elsewhere will have to
apologize, because there is general rec
ognition of the fact that such a nom
nation will insure a Republican tri-
umph in the state and the return of
Beveridge to the United States Senate.
Moreover, the effect would be highly
detrimental to he welfare of the DEM
ocratic party in other states, because
it would tend to convince the hosts Of
Independent voters that the Demoe-
racy in selecting its leadership from
the worst instead of the best element
furnishes sufficient proof that the
party is not fit to be entrusted with
power
