HOW A BROADSIDE OF RINGING EIOQUENCE WAS
BURNED AT THE STAKE IN THE U. S. SENATE
Senator Hepburn of Idaho,
Waving Bloody Shirt,
Thumped Desk With Judg-
ment, Used Correct Ges-
lures, and Such Language!
But Everybody Voted
Against Him.
BY FRED SCHAEFER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Ora.
tory, when enthroneG in the United
States senate, holds doubtful sway.
Let this be warning to the young
person who is training himself in
the forensic art expecting some
day to make the halls of the nation
resound with eloquence until the
listening throng with one accord
is reused to action.
1t doesn't happen. There is some
thing wrong about the tradition
that oratory sways. The senators
can listen to oratory all day and
remain pulseless as SO many fish.
Either oratory is not comprehend
ed as it should be or the senate
lacks red corpuscles.
For example, I saw Senator w.
B. Hepburn of Idaho arise and ut
terly waste a perfectly good broad
side of eloquerfce. 1t was that
noted speech in which he unfurled
the Star Spangled banner over the
matter of lending federal tents to
the United Confederate veterans
for their next reunion. 1t was a
gem of a speech-one that would
have won a gold medal in 1861. But
the remainder of the senate, callous
and unpatriotic, did not enthuse.
Indeed, as the proud ensign was
slowed back into its black oilcloth
case after Mr.. Hepburn had flaunt-
ed it, there was not moist eye in
the house. Even the New England
senators refused to become "het"
up over the rebel" issue.
When the war started, as Sena-
tor Hepburn confessed, he was just
II years old. He was unable to
participate in those historic festivi-
ties, even as drummer boy. Now
nearly so years afterward, he
found chance to leap into the
conflict CARRIED in white vest and
a neat haircut.

World Not So Very Bad.

That bad news travels fast is an
old saying, and in the present time
of electric communication by land
and sea we get plenty of bad news
every morning. The fact that we
hear of so many crimes and misdo-
ings in every part of the world, far
more than were reported a quarter
century, ago, probably accounts for
a share OF the downheartedness in
respect to human nature which OPP
presses 50 many of us nj times. But
the fact remains that the misdoings
often get notice in the newspapers
because they have some picturesque
or interesting quality which OBJ
trudes above the level of normal
human life; If regular and decent
living should ever become news
we all should indeed be in a very
bad way. Hence II looks as though
we ought TO realize that the world
is no worse than II used to be, but
that we know more about Il; and II
we are forewarned we should be the
better equipped for defending our
selves and helping our neighbor.-
