MONUMENT To

Congress Passes Memorial Bill
Without Road Scheme.
CULLOM ENTITLED TO CREDIT.
Illinois Senator, Associate Of Great
Emaneipator, Has Worked Hard For
Measure-Publio Buildings Author
lied by tho Senate Merely to Show
That Body's Activity.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, Feb. 10. - Especial. j
There is to be a monument erected to
Abraham Lincoln in Washington, and
it is not to be complicated with any
national road building proposition.
Congress has passed an act which in
sures a memorial to the civil war
president in keeping with monuments
to distinguished men.
For several years every movement
for a monument TO Lincoln has been
coupled with n proposition that such
a memorial should be n great national
highway to Gettysburg, Pa. That
such a highway would be a fine thing
many people agreed, but 1t could not
get through congress.
Senator Cullom Is entitled to the
credit Of having inaugurated the plan
which Is now to bear fruit. The ven
cradle Illinois senator, the early friend
Of Lincoln, said that before he passed
away he would like to see the Lincoln
memorial assured, and congress has
responded TO that wish. In the bill
as It passed the senate Senator Cul-
Iom did not include his own name as
one Of the commission, but It was In
serted by the house. Cullom is the
only man now In public life who was
associated with Lincoln.
An Evidence Of Activity.
A score or more Of bills have recent
" been reported from the committee
on public buildings and grounds pro
viding for buildings In different parts
OF the country. Those bilis may pass
the senate. II has never been consid-
cred senatorial courtesy for any sena-
tor TO object TO another senator's pub
Ne building BIN.
But every senator knows that no
public buildings are TO be provided at
this session. The house committee
does not even consider them. They
pass the senate as an evidence Of az
tivfty on the part Of senators.

changes and GUST Hitchcock from the

the president believes that Hitchcock
is the best economist in his admins
tration.
Hitchcock showed more dollars and
cents saved than any other man. 1t
is true that he was hauled over tho

clerks, for not establishing more rural
routes and for an alleged curtailment
of the railway mail service, but the
money statement showed a saving in
the postoffice, and Mr.. Taft stands by

Joe Fordney on the Job.
1t has never been definitely determin-
ed whether Senator Scott OF West Vir-
ginia or Congressman Fordney Is the
most intense protectionist In congress.
In fact there Is no need to decide, be-
cause both are for a tariff as high as
it can be made, and then some.
Ever since the Canadian reciprocity
agreement was sent to congress Ford
ney has been the busy man. Not a
man who could be persuaded to oppose
the agreement has been missed In his
careful canvass. The other day he
met Senator Bourne and went at him
on the subject of reciprocity.

man. 'Then let's slip 'em one from the

Washington, Feb. IL. - Especial. J.
Complaint is made that great many
things have been attempted which are
not in the Republican platform. Sen
ator Lodge called attention to the over
whelming adverse vote In the last ma
tonal convention wheE an attempt was
made to incorporate a plank for the
election of senators by direct vote and
stated that as one reason why there
was no command for the party to pass
the amendment
But there was nothing in that plat
form for tariff board or for Canadian
reciprocity, yet both have become fea-
lures of the administration program.
II was said that when Roosevelt was
Insisting upon railroad legislation and
several other measures that they were
not mentioned in the platform.
1t is fact that many platform rec
concentrations are ignored by congress
and others not mentioned I'm the party
declarations are taken up. That is the
situation at the present time.
Hard to Decide.
Senators and representatives are Of
ten "up against It." In order TO get
the resolution for the election of sena-
tors before the senate IL was neces-
sary for a majority vote to displace the
Alaska coal leasing bill.
That measure Is OF great importance.
1t means much TO the people OF Alaska
end the whole Pacific northwest. But
IL went by the board IN order that the
election Of senator's by direct vote
might have the night Of WY.
Probably a majority Of the senate
preferred 10 have the Alaska BIN con-
sidered. and many believed It was Of
greater importance Just now than the
measure which took fits place. But de-
feat or postponement h the destiny Of

the house of Representatives should in

probable. overturning the Republican
caucus. 1t will finish as 1t began, a
house where party lines mean little or

Sometimes there is one set of insur-

L|NDBERGH SCORES
PATRONAGE SYSTEM
Taft's Promises to Progress
sives Not Kept, Is Repre-
Sentative's Charge.

Asserting that the promise made by
President Taft, in the famous Norton
patronage letter." that the ban against
"Progressives' would be lifted, has not
been kept, and that Cannon and Aldrich
controlled Congress in the interests OF
the trusts, Representative c. A. Lind
bergh, one of the House progressives,
this afternoon issued a statement out
lining his future position on appointment
matters.
The promise made in the Norton let
ter" Lindbergh stated. Ito the effect
that all Republican members of Con-
gress were thereafter to be treated alike,
has not been kept. Aside from with
holding patronage, other methods that
are being resorted to for the purpose of
embarrassing progressives are interest
ing.
1T is one of the refinements of the
political game, as 1t is now being played
by the bosses, to assure the constitu-
ents of a progressive that he controls
appointments which the writer of such
letters has taken pains to see that he
does not control"
Lindbergh outlined in his statement
the general practice by which Senators
were consulted in regard to patronage
IN tnelr states.
In time,'' he continued, 'it was con-
ceived that this Is a Government by
parties, and party votes being needed in
the House of Representatives, for the
purpose OF putting across measures for
the benefit of big contributors, II be-
came the custom to allow the Congress
men of the party in power to name the
pOStmasters in their several districts. 1t
may be remarked that when we became
a Government by parties We ceased to
be a Government by the people, and
now that we have become a Govern
ment by a faction of a party, we have
ceased to be a Government by parties
1T may be acknowledged that the Ad-
miniStration is not entirely to blame for
the conditions. 1t is a matter of common
knowledge that Cannon and Aldrich
controlled Congress in the interests OF
the trusts. This control they were
bound to maintain at all hazards. The
ments were compelled to go to these
men and others in league with them
for the means to carry on the affairs Of
government and to procure the neces-
sary legislation.
1t became a question of control OF
patronage by the bosses or no funds,
and the wheels of legislation began to
turn funds. patronage: patronage,
funds. 1t was all as simple as A 3 c.
The men in control realized that their
power was seriously threatened by the
progressives. and at once demanded of
the Administration that patronage be
withheld from Congressman and Sena-
tors allied with the progressive move
ment, hoping by such means to compel
the progressives to get into line.

Cullom Planning to
Defend His Election

Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois
may arise to a question of privilege
In the Senate and defend the man
ner of his election against the refiec-
uon made thereon by Senator Bailey
In debate following Senator Roots
0Deech the other day.
Senator Bailey declared that If the
law as stated by Senator Root is cor
rect as to the illegality of the Lorimer
election. then it was the law in the
case of Cullom.
The veteran Illinois Senator, who is
over eighty years Of age, is indignant at
the aspersion. He has prepared a state
ment which he may present to the
Senate.
Senator Burton of Ohio defended SEN
ator Cullom in the course of his speech
yesterday. Senator Burton held that
Senator Bailey's inference was ground
less, and as to Cullom's election he said:
He was nominated at primary by a
majority of $1,000 votes. and it would be
most unjust to him to compare the cir
cumstances under which he was chosen
with the corrupt and dishonest methods
prevalent in the legislature in 1909"
