HOPE FOR TEACHERS PENSION
Members Behind Measure Think It
Will Pass.
Question of Increase of Salaries II
Also Expected to BE Acted
Upon This Session.

Unless there is the usual attitude. on
the part of certain members of Congress
to follow precedents set by themselves
in the matter OF overlooking an oppor-
tLnity to leglSiate for the District there
is every proba bility that the school
teachers retirement bill will go through
at this session of Congress. This is the
opinion held by some members of Con-
sress who have shown a disposition to
interest themselves deeply in District
matters, and especially in the bill to re-
tire the teachers of Washington's public
schools with a pension after a term of
service later to be decided upon.
These opinions were forcefully express
ed by the Congressman favoring the bill
yesterday afternoon. They had made
every effort to get the teachers retire
ment bill before the House on Monday
when the fight over the rules developed.
They said yesterday that while they were
disappointed by Mondays failure, they
have not and will not give up hope that
the measure will go through. At the
time Of the consideration of the retire.
ment bill there is much likelihood that
the much-mooted question of increases
in salaries of teachers will be taken up
1t was not until after the fight on the
rules that J. Van Vechten Olcott was
able TO get the retirement bill before
the House. when Chairman Smith, of the
House District Committee. called for it,
In explaining the measure Mr. Olcott fur
nished some interesting figures on the
payment of teachers in the District and
the payment of teachers who do the
SHINE work in the States.

MONETARY BOARD
ASKED TO REPORT
President Wants Nation to
Know Of Progress Made.

President Taft is anxious that the
country be informed as to the progress
OF the investigation Of the National
Monetary Commission. The President
does not expect monetary legislation at
the present session Of Congress. but he
has told callers recently that he would
like to see, at least part of the findings
of the commission presented to the nation
before adjournment.
The President, according to those who
have talked with him within the past
few days, does not wish to assume the
attitude Of debating to the Monetary
Commission. He is of the opinion, how
ever, that in two years that body must
have reached some general conclusions
that would prove interesting to bankers
and business men throughout the country
Mr.. Taft is interpreted as not fearing
any immediate financial stringency, but
he also thinks that it is just as we'll to
be prepared. Any change in the financial
system of the United States which
would tend to strengthen its banks
would certainly be welcomed. A cam
paign of education. to pave the way for
monetary legislation, the President
deems necessary.
The Monetary Commission has not kept
the President informed as to the progress
OF its Investigations. friends of the ad-
ministration said yesterday. The Presi-
dent. however, knows enough about the
work already accomplished to feel that
there could be no harm and that :here
might be good in the introduction OF at
least a partial report Of the commits
sion before March 4.

It has often been jokinsiy remarked
THAT Mr.. So and So had his money in
a sand bank" To-day there are some
sand banks where money would be
both more safely and prohtably in
vested than they are in Savings Banks
and Trust Companies
Very few people are aware OF the TACT
that 1t is possible to manufacture 4
higher class brick out of good bank

Like cement. sand Is oe-
ing consumed in fully fifty times the
quantity that it was twenty years ago.
To own a piece of land underiaid with

a very valuable real estate holding. sand
in Washington is selling to-day at any

LONG CAREER FOR ELKINS
Late Senator's Son Picked to Lead
West Virginia Republicans.
Friends Of YOunEest SOl0n RespOn-
sibIe for His Selection by
Gov. GlasacOck.

Unless plans which were started yester-
day by friends Of the new Senator from
West Virginia. Davis Elkins. largely
miscarry, the swearing in Of the son of
the late West Virginia solon on Monday
is but the rising of the curtain on him
for long political career in the upper
body Of Congress.
Being just thirty-five years Of age. the
minimum age at which a man may
qualify for Senator. Mr.. Elkins has al
ready been termed the Baby Senator -
Mr. Elkins is known to be a deep stu
dent OF politics and far beyond his years
in wisdom. according to his colleague.
Senator Scott. who escorted him to the
Vice Presidents desk. where the oath of
Office was administered.
Friends of Senator Elkins believe that
his strength in the State will ultimately
enable him to Offset the wave OF Democ-
racy that has swept the country and
come back to Washington not only as
Republican Senator. but as the leader of
the Republican party in West Virginia.
Mr.. Elkins is one Of the richest. If
not the richest. man in the State Of
West Virginia. but his friends say wealth
has far from spoiled him. He has had a
varied career as an officer in the Spanish
American war. as a figure in his fathers
political campaigns. and as an active Of
fetal in some OF his fathers business or
ga nizations.
He did not seek the toga which was
let fall by the death of his father. the
appointment going to him following a
visit Of some of his and his fathers
friends to Gov. Glasscock. who was
urged that the most fitting way to be-
stow an honor on the memory of the
late Senator was to appoint the son to
fill the fathers term.
The Washington herald., 1911-01-11

am personally convinced that Mr.. Lori
mer knew enough about WHIST was going
on At Springfield to put = reasonably
prudent man upon inquiry: that Shurtle1
and Browne were his political agents.
and that he ratified their acts and &C
cepted the fruits Of their corrupt prac-
tices. Of which he must at least have
had some knowledge. and that he was
not legally and duly elected to seat
In the Senate Of the United States"
Senate's Future at Stake.
Senator Crawford wanted TO know
where the Senate would be drifting II
conditions like those at Springfield were
passed over in silence.
What is the future Of representative
government" asked he, ''if men are to
enjoy seats in the legislative department
which have been purchased by paltry
gold. What is to become of our institu-
tions, and who can answer for tomorrow
II legislation in great States like Illinois
Is to be bought and sold by men who
are provided with a corruption fund for
that purpose-a United States Senator
ship thrown into the bargain?
Where is all this to end? Is all sense
Of honor benumbed. and is conscience
only q myth? Is the Senate of the
proud sense Of honor. its noble dignity,
and its lofty standard. to forget the
warnings uttered time and again in this
historic chamber? Are the voices of the
past, which in this place have SO often
stirred the hearts Of men, and the ST.
preme faith which inspired the fathers
who wrought here. to be overwhelmed
by q corrupt and sordid tendency which
would sacrifice every public trust upon
the altar of commercialism and make a
thing Of merchandise Of every public
duty"
Senator Crawford said he stood ready
to vote for q resolution declaring that
Mr.. Lorimer was not legally and duly
elected His speech occupied more than
three hours OF the Senates time. The de-
bate will be continued to-day.
Senator Lorimer sat in the Senate
chan rer during the entire Crawford
speech, imperturable, and indicating a
special interest only through the occa-
sional jottihg down of a note or two. The
galleries were crowded, and many who
sought admission were turned away.

''whip'' Dwight Expects Better At
tendance at House Sessions.
Representative Dwight. OF New York.
the Republican whip of the House. who
announced the otht. day that he intend
ed to force members to attend the ses-
sions Of the House. is much disguised
with the apparent indifference Of his col
leagues toward their legislative duties.
He said yesterday. after securing call
Of the House, that in a few days he
would demand the enforcement of the
House rule adapted way back in 1S72.
providing that members shall not receive
pay for those days they do not spend in
attendance on the sessions of the House.
II am in earnest about this" said Mr..
Dwight. 1T has been threatened before
and nothing has been done. But this Is
the short session. We have a great deal
of work to do. That work cannot be ac-
complished il half the time is spent in
securing quorums.''
As soon as the members find out Mr.
Dwight means what he says. the attend
ance is expected to improve wonderfully.

OLD AGB PENSION
BILL Is PASSED
Speaker Cannon Urges Meas
ure Carrying 100000.

The passage in the House yesterday
Of the bill increasing old age pensions
of Mexican and civil war veterans, thus
adding s., 200, 900 to the annual outlay on
this account was marked by an address
by Speaker Cannon, who took the floor
for the first time this session. and spoke
in favor of the bill Mr.. Cannon began
by quoting the observation contained
in President Taft's message that con-
sress should deal literally with the old
soldiers their widows and orphans. He
INDUCED in a good deal Of sentiment.
Mr.. Cannon declared that in time of
emergency this country had always de-
pended upon its citizen soldiery.
''They have never failed to respond
with telling effect, and they never will
fail u.s. said the speaker.
Mr.. Cannon said bluntly that as the
country had unlimited confidence in
American manhood to meet every demand
upon il. he doubted whether Congress
would ever authorize a larger standing
army.
100000 men, he said. But actually We
only have 5000 men in commission. I
doubt il any power on earth could force
Congress to recruit the standing army to
10000
The pension bill was passed by an
overw helming vote. only few mem
bers dissenting.
The bill will benefit more than 49,
OO0 soldiers. 1t authorizes increases Of
pensions. according to age. from $lo
month, the minimum to be allowed when
claimant has reached the age Of
sixty-two, up to $36 a month when the
,,a has attained the age of seventy
five.
In his message submitted to congress
at the beginning Of the session Presi-
dent Taft urged enactments for the oene-
ut Of veteran soldiers.
Democrats charge that the measure
put through is nothing more or less than
q political BILL" However. most Of them
supported it and no member on either
side Of the house asked for Q record
vote on the proposition. 1t was passed
by a rising vote, only handful dis
senting. among them Representatives
Weeks, Mccall and Gillett Of Massa-
chusetts. and Townsend Of Michigan.
