two years ago. How the scene has
changed. Today the Senate. its sacred
precincts raded by the new members
who have scattered senatorial courtesy.
senatorial methods and senatorial prec-
edent, to the winds, is giving an ex-
cellent imitation Of a body trying to
catch up with the spirit of the times, and
to forsake it's old deliberation and delay.

II want to say at the outset of my

said Senator Lea.

Almost an uproar followed the work
of Mr. Reed Smoot of Utah, which re

propeller-hIade electric fans from the
ceiling of the Senate chamber the other

from the preceding day. when young Mr.

men whose names were linked for over

servance OF the precedents and dignity OF
the Senate been on hand. there would have
been d long and lively session before such
epoch making changes would have been
sanctioned.
Has not the palm leaf famed the Senate
through untold summers? Is one heated
spell more or less to induce the aban-
donment of honorable customs of CEN
tury or so. and the adoption of vulser at
tributes OF the modern age and hustle OF
commercialism? Apparently it is, since
the uphoIders of Senate precedents are
passing away.
The change that is coming over the
United States Senate is little less than re-
markabIe in the eyes of those who have
watched the body for a score or more OF
ears. and have seen il move almost with
out question through the beaten path that
has been traversed year after year under
the leadership of the odd timers
What does Mr.. Smoot. who now ranks
as one of the leaders OF the body, know
about precedents? He has been there
only since 1908. What does Vice Presi-

ern Senate of the United States, the Sen
ate into which a whole drove OF unruly
and upstart young men rushed a t the
last election, fifteen years counts as but
a day.
The new members. with few OF the old
ones who never took kindly to that re-
ligious reverence for precedent and Gus
tom that long ruled the Senate, are com
pleting the most astonishing metamor-
phosis of that body that has taken place
within the memory of man.
New members with their feet scarcely
under them, with a pitiful and openly
admitted lack of knowledge of rules and
precedents. and with a shameless disre-
gard of their own ignorance, are rushing
in to the forum of debate, denounclng
the time-honored precedent and courtesy
of the Senate. and batting the few sur
vivors of the old dignity until Senator
Bacon is compelled to move new rule
to rescue the Senate from its sewing
circle tendencies
The page of the Congressional Record
looks like a page of a sensational novel
said Senator Bacon.
It was only about two years ago. in the
early part of that memorable special ses-
sion that brought the Payne-Aldrich tar
iff law out of the maelstrom of debate,
lldI senator IfefndilCD lie SOtO Money OF
Mississippi took young Mr. Elihu Root
of New York and verbally spanked him in
the presence Of the whole Senate; spank
ed him more severely than the veteran
Pettus had spanked Albert ]. Beveridge
when that young man made his first
speech in 1900.
Mr.. Root had come into the Senate with
the slight prestige of having seen a
Secretary of War a Secretary of State,
the right-hand man of a well known
President. the special envoy of the United
States to the South American countries
and the man who in many ways was re-
earded as the most important acqus-
tion the Senate had had for many years.
One day when the tariff session was
not many weeks old and the Senate was
labSriously debating, according to prece
dent. how it should 20 about the consid-
Grafton of the Payne bill, Mr.. Root arose
and somewhat pettishly declared that he
thought the thing to do was to push the
debate along in a business like way, pass
