To your legislator to work
for reapportionment.
New-York tribune., 1911-03-05

inanity last weeks sessions of the Sen
ate have never had parallel in the
history of that body.
The record of the outgoing Congress
emphasizes, therefore, as never before
the need of reform in the Senates
rules. The upper house is no longer self
governing. even in the most nominal
sense. It used to he the case that fill
clustering was resorted TO only when
the representatives of one party were
convinced that they were being taken
advantage of by the representatives Of
the other party. Party welfare or
some other large consideration was
at stake But filibusterlng has so de-
generated nowadays that an individual
or little group thinks nothing of OBJ
structing the will of two-thirds ma
jorlty representing both parties. The
Senate has thus made itself both i'm
potent and ridiculous. 1t is time for it
TO abandon the antiquated system of in
diyidual veto and to restore efficient
majority rule. Its credit rs leglsla-
tive body could not survive another
melancholy fiasco like that on which
kindly curtain fell ct noon yesterday.

RIGHTS OF PERSONALITY.

There is ground for hearty satisfac-
ton In the verdict which was given IN
a local court last week In favor CT
Jack Binns. Cf &C. Q. d." fame,
against a moving picture concern which
had been exploiting for pecuniary gain
counterfeit preSentments of his heroic
achievement. 1t was 4 welcome vim
own personality, as well as rebuke OF
what must be considered as nothing less
than deception of the public.
When Mr.. Binnss fine work at the
wireless telegraph apparatus Of sink
ing ship made him the hero OF the horr.
men were quick to see that a moving
picture portrayal of the scene would
attract much patronage and profit. or
course, it was impossible to get pict-
ure of the actual scene. and SO repro
duction of it. according to the taste and
fancy OF some scenic artist" had to b,
faxed up" The central figure was, Of
necessity, Mr.. Binns himself. But as It
was out Of the question TO induce him TO
make a show Of himself by posing and
re-enacting his heroism before the cam
era. he was impersonated for the pur-
pose by an actor more or less accurately
made up to resemble him. The pictures
thus produced were then exhibited TO
the public. All this was done. it may be
added, without Mr.. Binns's consent, OF
without even seeking it, and, of course,
without any profit to him.
It obviously should be impossible for
such use to be made of q mans person
ality against his will. If it were per-
mitted the most scandalous misrepre-
sentations might be made, bringing ridi-
cule and contempt upon their subject.
The verdict given last week was for a
comparatively small amount, but it at
least sustained salutary principle, and
il should stand as a valuable precedent
and as a deterrent against further at
tempts to trade upon mans personality
against his will and TO his actual harm.

TIE I-NTRA NTSN[OA

President Taft has summoned the two
houses of Congress to meet in eXtraor'
dinary session on April next. The call
was not unexpected; in fact, tho Presi
dents action was made inevitable by
the determination of q small minority IN

Mccall bill. CARRYING into effect the rcci-
nrocitv agreement recently concluded
with Canada. Mr. Taft gave ample no
tice that out of q sense Of obligation

not permit action on the agreement to

attempt legislation not referred to in
