Social revolutions constantly see an

BAD enough at times, even after il
has been proved that commonly ac-

One tradition OF the senate is but n
memory now. For long time It was
decreed that new senators should re-
main in their seats and say aud do
nothing for at least one session.
When four new states were admit.
ted ut one time It was impossible for
the new senators TO remain silent with
SO many demands upon them. That
shattered the tradition. Then other
new senators felt that they had IL
message to deliver and spoke their
minds. That the tradition has been
entirely swept away was shown in the
short session Of tile senate before the
holidays.
-Four new senators were sworn III,
aud three took part lit tile proceedings
before the recess. Swanson Of !, Viz.
gfnia reported biit which was pass
ed. Young Of Iowa made Il speech Of
considerable note. and Thornton OF
Louisiana debated an item in the omni-
bus Claims bill relating to his state
which had been attacked. Altogether

the plan was impracticabe and it was
not until 1896. when Congress gave him
$4,000, that he made the first test. The
business was then started In forty-two

did not succeed.

had the right to daily mail as we'll as
the city people; that they were taxed just
