DEATH TOLL IS HEAVY
IN THE UPPER HOUSE
Six Members of the Senate Have Answered to the Last
Roll Call Within Two Years. During
Life of One Congress.

Death has taken heavy toll Of the
United States Ssnate during the life Of
the Sixty-First Congress. Probably no
two-year period since the civil war has
seen so many senators pass away.
Since this Congress came into being,
less than two years ago, six Senator's
and one Standardized have died Five
out Of the six deaths took place among
the minority members Of the body.
Senator NcLaurin Of Mississippi was
the first Senator Of the group to lay
aside the toga forever. He was one Of
the ablest as well as one Of the most
popular Of all the SouthernerE in that
body Col. James Gordon succeeded the
dead MississipPian and Leroy Percy
succeeded Colonel Gordon.
About the same time Senator Martin
n. johnson Of North Dakota, a Repub-
Hcan, passed away. He has also had
two successors Former Senator Thomp-
son was first appointed 10 take his seat
D..t he retired in 2 few months on &C
count OF III health and William E Pur-
cell was named TO I'll out the uneX-
Pired term
The veteran Senator AIcEnery Of
Louisiana followed Senator Johnson He
had been q member OF the body for a
great many years and was veil beloved

Soon after Senator McEnevy died, the
Senate was shocked to heaf that the

responsibility there is apt TO come care
and caution and conservatism
Here, for instance, is our good friend
Champ Clark. The time is not so far
back in the dim recesses Of history
that Mr.. Clark was on his feet in the
House offering a r-solutiOn for a com
mittee on committees But on his az
rival in Washington Mr.. Clark is not
ready to commit himself to a commit
tee on committees; he said this prob
lem would be left to party caucus and
added: Personally, am neither for
nor against a committee on commit
tees"
l. 1t possible that the controlling
element on the Democratic side in the
next Congress is going to Try to side
step this question of a committee on
committees and Is going to refuse to
give the country genuine liberalization
OF the House Tules2
In the light Of what has happened
in the past, it cannot be believed with
out strong evidence that this is the in
tention. If this IS the meaning OF the
backwardness of Democrats to commit
themselves on this issue, then the
Democrats are storing up political dy-
Mantle for themselves and their party

Discrimination.

To the E5itor o. The Washington Times:
The action Of the city postmaster in
ordering the discontinuance OF sta
tion y. the branch pOstofhce that SUD
plies the southwest section. Is another
case OF discrimination The arguments
advanced by the postal officials as 70
the advantages TO this sectiO7 in i'm
proved service, more rapid delivery,
etc, are the veriest kind Of rot
Another reason advanced is that the
southwest section Is within the zone
OF the main, and therefore can be
more easily supplied from the main
Office II such is the case, and we
are really within the zone OF the main
office, does not the same argument
apply equally as well 70 station @,
which is only = few blocks from the
main Office. or 70 the station on G
street near Fourteenth street north

It is Just simply a case OF -try Il on

can recall in which this section was

are IN the zone Of the main office now.

IN NO HURRY TO TAKE
POWER FROM SPEAKER.

Since the election one does not need
TO be gifted with any unusual powers
Of perception to detect IN high Demo
cratic quarters a certain delicacy about
this question of establishing a COM
mittee on committees in the House.
Before the election too much could not
be said in denmriation Of the Gar
ike power welded by @Uncle Joe. -
Latterly, however, there is a reluctance
to insist on dePriving the Speaker Of
ms power to name committees that is
interesting and promises to become
more so as time runs or
Perhaps this reluctance arises from
an indisposition to 90 anything that
wiz not meet the harrlopiOus approval
of al the brethren Perhaps, too, there
is something in the fact that with

right in interpreting Tuesdays election
as ground swell He is right when
he says 1t is only the first step in a
long fight. (Whether the fight Is Mr..
StimsOn's fight, as he says, is for him
to show by his conduct.) Tuesdays
results reflect a determination OF the
part OF the masses of the people to re-
establish genuine self government;
there VIII be other reflections, other
steps, other fights, but there is reason
to believe that, ultimately, genuine
self-gOvemment viii be established.
Mr. Stimson's conclusion, which is in
the nature of a prediction, is not so
certain Of ready acceptance as his in
PRODUCTION, which is a statement of
historic fact. He says:
It is onIy the beginning Of the re-
alignment Of the Republican party Our
party Is going through the agony OF
getting on the right side Of affairs.
The people have shown. by their
support of insurgent Republicans and
their reputation of reactionarv Re
publicans, that they are anxious to re-
establish selfgOvernment through the
Republican party. If the leaders of
that party get over the agony men
toned by Mr.. Stimson, if they face
squarely about and make the Republi-
can party stand for real progress in
politics aud IN government, they can
preserve themselves and their party.
They viii have TO move, however, with
astonishing raPidity, for just as sure

PEOPLE SHOW CONFIDENCE
IN INSURGENTS.

Of significance equal to the repudia-
ton Of the regular Republican organ
ization in the elections last week was
the positive and sweeping vindieation
Of the insurgent Republicans.
But one Ian who had been a
thorough-going insurgent IN the last
two sessions of Congress was defeated
That one was Senator Beverage, whose
State, always close, has become Demo
crate On a local issue since he was
siec5ed TO the Senate SIX years ago.
A member of the House who had
voted with the insurgents frequently
but who had not accepted insurgency
in its broadcast sense was defeated.
That man was Hamilton Fish, Of New
York. Every other insurgent viii
come back"
Except IN Indiana, the places where
the Republican ticket was slaughtered
were places where reaciionary leaders
had controlled the Republican organ
ization and throttled progressiyism. OF
where r-Ogressivism had not been
definitely developed and indicated
through platforms aid candidates in
such manner as to give the people con
fdence L. 1t. Maine, Massachusetts, and
Connecticut vent Democratic because
the people saw no hope Of progress
in the organization that controlled the
Republican party in these States New
Hampshire, where the progressives
controlled the party machinery, went
Republican.
The most striking evidence Of the
desire Of voters to support Republicans
when they were progressive and to
vote against Republicans when they
were reactionary OF .nsuffciently pro-
gressive came from Nebraska, where
an insurgent Republican was elected
governor and a progressive Democrat
was Endorsed for United States Sena-
tor. George Norris, who led the re-
volt against Cannon, was elected 10 the
House from Nebraska by a plurality
of twenty-five in 1905 Last Tuesday
he was reelected by a plurality OF
$500.
Throughout the middle West and
far West this rule obtained Every
man who had proved himself sincere
in the iT,surgent movement was IN
dorsed by his constituents except
Beverage. The Democratic gain OF
approximately fifty seats N the House
was not made in insurgent territories.
Standpatters, reaetionaries, regulars
have been retired by their own Pc. e
Insurgents have been reelected
These results are particularly graft
flying to those friends Of the insurgent
movement who, for the past year and
half, have believed that the progress
sives, and not the regulars, represent
the sentiment of the rank and lie OF
the people. They are particularly
gratifying when considered in eonnec-
ton with the recent efforts of so
called leaders to read the insurgents
out of the party"
The people have read the insurgents
