as much power as any majority ever
enjoyed, there is no doubt measures on
the subject of direct election of SEN
ators, publicity before elections of
election campaign contributions, Cana
dian reciprocity, revision of the woolen
and cotton schedules. and any further
tariff changes the majority desires will
be sent to the senate in whatever or
der is decreed by the ways and means
committee. The republicans will be
.powerless to prevent The real legis-
lative problem, therefore. will be at
the senate end of the capitol.
Only time will tell what sort of line
up there will be in the senate on tariff
matters Previous sessions have indi-
Gated that there are just as ardent
protectionists in the democratic repre-
sentation as in the republican, and
a like situation may develop when
tariff questions are taken up at this
session.
The division in the senate is pc
culiar. OF the fifty republicans there
are twelve who have practically form
ed a separate organization. They de
manded, and the committee on com
mites probably will accede to theiI
request. one-fourth of the majority
places.
OF the Al democrats-42 when Colo
RADIO elects-seventeen are on record
as having opposed the election of Sen
ator Martin of Virginia as minority
leader. Their opposition was based
upon the ground that Mr.. Martin was
too conservative.
The division in the democratic ranks
probably would not have been so pro
nounced il it had not been for the in
teryiew given by Mr.. Bryan yesterday
deploring the election of Mr.. Martin

question of who loses in payment of a
check which turns out to be forgery

the Cherokee National Bank of Vinita
against the Muskogee National bank,
filed in the supreme court Saturday.
The check was drawn on the Vinita
bank and cashed by the institution in
Muskogee, which, in turn, sent it to
the Vinita bank, where it was paid by
credit When the check proved to be
a forgery the Vinita bank ask d the
bank at Muskogee to refund the
amount. $46.5O, which it declined to do.
In suit the Muskogee bank won a
verdict. the lower court holding that
when a drawee pays check to another
bank which is the bona fide holder,
such drawee can not reclaim the money
upon finding such a check to be for
gerry.

POLITICAL WAR CLOUD IS
LOWERING OVER CONGRESS

Washington, D. c., April 1O.-It is
daily becoming manifest that congress
is facing a stormy session and there
can be made no forecast of the prob
able legislative results. The fact that
both of the great political parties are
divided is no longer denied and the
leaders appear to have little hope of
restoring anything more than surface
harmony.
There are virtually four parties, each
with a large representation, working
at odds in the present session. The
republican minority of the house is
divided between regulars and insur-
gents, as was evidenced by the vote in
the speakership contest The breach
between these two factions is even
wider in the republican majority of
the senate.
A sharp line has been drawn be-
tween the conservative democrats of
the senate who are opposed to any at
tempt at dictation BY William Ien-
nings Bryan and the progressive dem
ocrats, including practically ell of the
new members and several veterans
like Senator Stone of Missouri, who
are Bryan adherents.
The house democratic majority
seems to have escaped a break, but
the leaders fear the party contest in
the other branch. The situation has
interfered with the selection of COM
mittees and the beginning of legisla-
tive work
Probably there never has been a
congress where SO much uncertainty
existed and where the uneasiness has
been so equally distributed between
the two major political parties. OF
course this is due in part to the fact
that in the present congress the dem
ocrats are in power in the house and
the republicans are in control of the
senate.
The real cause of the anxiety.is be-
| llieved to be due to the proximity of the
party conventions which will select the
standard bearers for 1912 and the
knowledge that slip by either in the
extraordinary session or the regular
session to follow may very easily de-
termine the result of the next national
campaign.
So far as the administration pro-
gramme is concerned there is no room
for speculation. President Taft has
recommended the enactment of legis-
lation to carry out provisions of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement, and it
is no secret he would be glad to have
congress stop at that and defer the
question of tariff revision until the
regular session assemblies next win
ter. His reason for this is that the
tariff board would be able to report
several schedules by that time.
Neither is there any obscurity about
the programme of Speaker Clark, Rep
resentative Underwood chairman OF
the new ways and means committee
and other democrats who are direct
ing the policy of the house. Their
plan for progressive legislation on sew
eral subjects with which the country
has been made familiar in the past
year or so has been given out
Now that the new majority in the
house has adopted rules giving it just
