The presenting of a gavel to the speaker
OF this house is a simple act In itself and
yet when II Is clothed with the garments
of historical significance 1t becomes an Inn
portant event in the procee SnEs OF this
body. Bacon says that "otst OF monu-
ments. names, words. proverbs traditions
private records and evidence fragments OF
stories, passages of books, and the like,
do we save and recover somewhat from the
deluge of time" May we not hope there
fore that out OF the presentation Of this
OF the early days In Nebraska some frag-
ment Of history that later perhaps may be
used in the building OF the story OF the
winning Of the west. And as we render
long overdue tribute to the achievements
Of those pioneers we can catch some OF the
inspiration that their splendi deeds invoke.
Over million of US here in Nebraska are
modern life, the fruits that have rlpened
from the sacrifices, privationB. laboFs and
forethought OF the men and ayonlen who
first came to this country and caught the
vision of its possibilities. We need to be
touched with some OF the fire that burned
In their hearts and with some OF the zeal
that made them attempt the seemingly inn
possible. That flagstaff was the silent
witness OF many stirring scenes and this
emblem that waved from it's top was a
curity and protection to thousands of
heartslck and homesick pilgrims on the
trail May We not hope that as this in
/ strurnent OF order and authority Is used Il
may also exert a Yoiceless IN &uence upon
the membership OF this house; that the
spirit of foresight, dauntless courage and
progresstYeness which II brings TO us from
the CONQUEST OF the frontier may pervade
this assembly, and that as II helped TO
support the flag In the old days II may
same today.

Thus we have 1t demonstrated that

way Of an election solely because OF
local loyalty? kenyon is essentially

publicans of the state and without

petuate the deadlock when such a con-
non Is so apparent? Why not rise
above the ambitions Of locality and
either agree upon some candidate who
can command the united support of all
the progressives or upon some candi-
date who will so far satisfy two fac
tons as to avoid a serious struggle

thing seems to be in Kenyon's way, to
be sure, and the desire to remove 1t is
. logical sequence. But 1t is strange
that 1t does not occur to these Kenyon
enthusiasts that Kenyon is not the
choice Of a majority of the party.
There was time while certain republic
cans were standing by Lafe Young and
Others were supporting Funk. when
IL might have ben reasoned that these
men merely had their preferences and
that finally they could all agree upon
Kenyon. But that time has gone by.
Both Young and Funk stepped aside in

miles thru the capital. There is no
exercise comparable to walking, and
the president will allow but few things
to interfere with this part OF the daily
routine. It is usually close to O'Clock
in the evening when he returns to the
White House from his walk. Dinner 10

TAFT AND THE SENATE.

When President Taft called the extra
session he put it directly up to the SEN
ate and the people of the United States,
President Taft's action and assertion is
to the effect that the senate OF the
United States as at present constituted
and under present rules is not compe-
tent working body. The New York
distinction OF administration organ"
than any other newspaper declares
1.-The upper house is no longer self gov
erning even in the most nominal sence"
and says the senate has made itself
.'both impotent and Ridiculous
The blame for this 'scandaous out
come" as the Tribune terms the last
week of the past session lies the Tri-
bune asserts entirely on the senate. 1t
points out that the tariff commission
bill which had passed both house and
senate by overwhelming majorities
persisted thru "parliam entary nisman
agement:" that the reciprocity agree
ment was not permitted to come TO a
vote IN the senate and in short charges
the senate with incapa city TO conduct
it's business of legislation and control
itself.
That is the presidents side Of the
matter. However. it is scarcely in this
day to be accepted that the business of
congress $40 be called together. hear
what the chief executive wants done
and do 1t precisely as he programs il.
Party machinery has been pretty we'll
disarranged since President Taft, elect
ed az the heir to the Roosevelt policies
and on Roosevelt platform threw the
reverse lever over at full speed and
Had the legislative branch proved un-
ruly under Roosevelt program the
country would have risen 20 support the
president. Since he came back to ap-
proximate the promises of his nomina-
ton campaign he has found popular
approval to a considerable extent That
he has not the country back of him il
not the fault Of the country but of the
political bunch that used the presi-
dents name and prestige for bunco
steering purposes.
IN all conscience the senate is bad
enough. The country has long been
dissatisfied and even disguised viii, It
as It has been constituted. The Lori
mer Job and the rest Of the session has
not rehabilitated it. But the people
have not forgotten that the administra-
ticn was used to conjure with by the
Danites who trailed Cummins. IaFol-
lette, Bristow and other progressives to
the DAY OF the Primaries. IL tie presi-
dent fails to hear hearty. amens from
the voters retrospection should unyeil
the reasons for their silence.
