THE SUPERSTITION ABOUT
COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS.

The tories in the Senate are deter
mined that the Republican progressives
shall not be7given such recognition, in
making up the committees, as will
make them a coherent, organized, eff
fective force
Not much wonder There are thir-
teen progressive Republicans, sticking
together for fair deal, and for recop-
milton OF their kind of RepubIicanism.
Two years ago there were not nearly
so many progressives, and more tories:
yet the handful of progressives made
themselves the dominating force in the
Senate, the custodians of such shreds
OF public confidence as still remained
after the tariff bill. had passed.
Naturally, it is desired to suppress
such an element. Reading them out
OF the party has increased their num-
bers and strength. while proving dis
astrous to the regulars. So they are
now to be pigeonholed in unimportant
committee places.
Experience in the past does not war
rant conviction that the plan will work
well. Cannon took away from such
insurgents as Cooper and Norris their
best assignments, by way of disciplin-
ing them and making them an example
to others of rebellous inclination. But
the penalty fell where it was not in
tended Cannon lost Speakership and
his party lost the House; the insur-
gents came back smiling and vindi-
Gated.
Committee assignments don't seem to
have much to do with the real oppor-
tunities for legislative usefulness.
Norris lost a ice on a pie commit
tee-and became leader of the move
ment that defeated the Cannon regime.
When La Toilette came to the SEN
ate he was sui generis. There was
none other to flock with him. He was
joke. He got no committee chances
He was marked for immediate, en-
phatic suppression.
But he didn't suppress. He found
ways of making himself force. He
fought and filibustered; for the things
the tories didn't WANT, against the
things they did want. He drew to
himself a following that has grown
steadily.
The La Toilette of five years ago was
one e-sxtieth of the Republican strength
in the Senate
The La Toilette faction of today is
one fourth of the Republican strength
in the Senate.
Gentlemen, it doesn't argue well for
the policy of putting down men who
have been commissioned by their peo
pie to deliver a message.
You can't suppress these men. 1t is
useless to imagine you can seriously
injure their efficiency by the snuffer
process. To attempt it is about as in
telligent as suppressing earthquake
shivers by administering quinine to
Mother Earth.
You ignored the progressives in max
ing the last tariff-and for your pains
the best of your leadership got retired
to private life.
, Ignore them again, now, and more
of you will 60 the same way.
Why not be selfishly intelligent, if
patriotic intelligence is impossible?

WINSLOW SCORES SOME
ACTS OF MILITARISM
To the Editor Of THE TIMES

To the Editor OF lhE IlMES.
We are now. 1t may be, on the verge
of one of those ebullitions of latent
militarism which are aroused whenever
a warlike demonstration of any kind is
made, recognized by all rulers as n
means of Strengthening their power or
that of their party. Such was the dis
patch of the Maine to Havana by Nc
Kinley. Such was Roosevelt's naval cir
Gus. Such is the menacing display made
by Taft on the Mexican border. In
these emergencies politicians trim and
hedge, while the professional peace lead

The judgment was ordered under
Section 40 OF the Charter, which pro-

with the Fire Commissioners orders.
The defendants refused TO comply with
the order on the grounds that u was

ground that the section OF the city

brought had been repealed. The APP

not been repealed and that .he order
