Hensley Making Good.

Clyde II. Tavcncr, the Washing
ton correspondence Of The Times,
has the following to say this week
Of our Congressmau:
One of the new members Of Con
gress that the Democratic leaders
have tabled for future reference is
Walter l.. Hensley OF Missouri.
Speaker Champ Clark is a great adj
mirer of Hensley, declares that he
is the type of man the people need
to represent them here on the firing
line, and predicts Il great future for
the ambitious and han dworking
young Missourian.
Hensley Is showing his capacity
for handling big things just now as
n member uf the Committee on EX-
penditures in the Interior Depart
ment which is Investigating IN" at
tempt Of the Neutrality-suspicious.
to get away with the Alaska coal
4 lands and railroad rights,
| Hcnsley also made what was prob
ably one of the best speeches ON the
tariff that has been heard at the
| special session. at has been said
on the floor nf this house, said MIR.
/ Hcnsley in "A recent speech in Con-
/ gress, "thnt when the tweuty-four
directors of the United States Steel
| Trust sit down to their table that
0nc-twelfth of the wealth of the
| United States is represented in their
chairs. This statement has never
been disputed here. 1t is a fact that
one per cent of the American people
own more property than the OF her
90 per cent. You have permitted
this condition to continue" said
MIR. Hensley, addressing the Repub-
lican side of the House, land the
people are tired of your cant and
Hypocrisy"
Since Hensley has been in Wash.
ington he has stubbornly opposed
extravaganza in every form.

The Senate last Monday passed
the bill requiring the publicity Of
campaign funds before as well as
after election. with some drastic
amendments to the measure as it
came from the House. 1t makes it
apply to primary as well rs general
elections. fixes the limit which Il
candidate may eXpend for cam
paign purpose at ten cents to a
voter, aud provides that no sena-
torial candidate shall spend more
than %l0,0 in the primary and
general elections, aud that no can
didate for the House shall spend
more than 81, 600. Publicity must
be given to all primary campaign
contributions and expenditures,
and all general election contribu.
tons, and expenses must be made
public before the election, begin
ming fifteen days before election
aud making publication each six
days until election. Also all prom.
Uses of political jobs must be made
public. Thus another of Mr.. Bry-
ans political reforms has been
made into law, for there is no
doubt that the House will agree to
the amendments, unless it be the
one pertaining to primary elections,
as that is regarded MS strictly a
State institution.
