BAILEY, Of TEXAS,
EXPECTED TO Q QUIT.
WHEN BODY; 7 MEETS {
Believed He Will Resign
From Senate Shortly
After Opening.

Senator Bailey Of Texas. whose resig-
nation. according to reports from Texas.
was expected two or three weeks ago,
is now expected to present his resigna-
ton to the Senate soon after the open
Ing OF the session Of Congress.
Some days ago It was deemed certain
Senator Bailey would resign and that
Governor ColQuitt. Of Texas, would ap.
point Col. X. NJ. Johnston, Of Houston,
to succeed him. The resignation Wao
not forthcoming. and the explanation
that was made IN Texas Mas that Il was
found the Legislature would not elect
Colonel Johnston for the short term II
he were appointed. but would select
some anti.Bailey man.
It appears the legislature 10 In control
Of the prohibition element Of the State
and Il 10 almost SURE not to pick one OF
the Bailey faction when It meets Jan.
uary &
However. TEXAS politicians now say
that Senator Bailey wants to appear
once more in the Senate and make one
great speech before he quits. In that
speech. he 10 expected to lay down the
doctrine he believes the Democratic
party should follow II It 10 to keep In
the path OF tho fathers. After that,
some Of his friends give II out, he viii
be ready to lay down his toga and take
UP the practice Of law.

THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT.

Just now there's pretty kettle Of Ash a-cooking
on the fires Of quarrel between the New York World
and the Sun Of that city concerning the eligibility
and requirements Of William Jennings Bryan for the
Office Of Secretary Of State in the Wilson Cabinet
In the matutina exchanges Of these antagonists the
Sun observes its normal habit Of smiling provoeation,
whilst the World lashes aercely with those ponderous
syllogsms that always 90 tremendously logical II
you only admit the soundness Of their premises.
Alert to take advantage Of the OCCASION the readers
Of both journals wade in with letters from PRO Bono
Publico" and the rest Of the anonymous serveners,
and when the fight Is over they for their part, will
once more afront the passive voice by the glad id.
mission that q fine time was had" ..
And the only blemisa on the pretty controversy
resides in the fact that the gentleman who will event.
ualy make the appointment insists upon refusing to
say anything about it.
The Washington times., 1912-11-26

last named Of these as arbitrator for the engineers,
dissens from the conclusion Of the other five, who
Substantially recommend the compulsory arbitration
OF disputes affecting common carriers.
In this finding the desire Of the majority is for
the best II wants to give the public an interest In
labor and capital controversies which is not now
recognized BY the dsputants in any similar case. The
public is always left out Of arbitration awards II
the arbitrator acted for the Government they would
not leave the public out. Consequently neither side
would want an arbitration by Government officers
who would protect the public interest and adjust the
claims Of the employer and employe to the equities
OF the people.
Mr.. Morissey points out for the Brotherhood that
there are constitutional obstacles and practical oh.
stacles, to the working Of such q scheme The pro-
posal, II must be confessed by those who are most
enthusiastic In advocating It, 10 not likely to be "a.
vored BY public opinion for q great many years.
Our able arbitrators fail to advance line Of rea-
sonng designed to alter the existing public sentiment
against compulsory arbitration. II the public 10 will.
ing to put up with the vast inconvenience Of coal
strikes, railroad strikes, and strikes crpplng other
industries upon which the public 90 largely depends,
rather than pass laws compelling arbitration and pro-
tectns ib now neglected interest," the reason must be
that the public regards compulsory arbitration as still
more injurous to ito rights than strikes are. II must
be said that the board Of arbitration majority has
stated nothing in its report which will bring into
favor the principle II 50 badly proclaims.
One Of the various reasons which can be mar
shaled against the proposition Of compulsory arbitra.
tion is the increasing success Of voluntary arbira.
tions Thine was when the dispute now settled so
amicabiy, II temporarily, between the railroads and
the locomotive engineers, would never have been
decided except by long, exhaustns, and bitter test
Of endurance with bloodshed and great expense to
oil concerned, including the public.

TO CAMPAIGN EXPENSE, $3.50, 900.

A total Of s3.2soyoO0 for distributing campaign
speeches through the mails to voters, under the
franks" Of diferen. Congressman. is an absurd ex.
pense for the country to have to pay. Ninety.nine
per cent Of the matter spread broadcast over the
country in this way goes into the waste basket or to
the rubbish heap.
The voters get their political information from
the newspapers. The number who sit down and
peruse these speeches is not significant. That =
deficit should exist in the postal accounts because all
parties work" the mails in this way is neither good
business nor good judgment.
II the country is to furnish information for voters
In political campaign, let il be done in an orderly
and sytematc way with an even allotment to all can
ddates, as Is established by law in elections in Oregon
But indiscrminate employment Of the frank" is as
unnecessary as it is wastefu

THE SENATORIAL OUTLOOK.

Those commentators on parliamentary prosr ects
who are coming over the remote possibilities Of The
next Senate being tied between Republicans and
Democrats quite miss the point tie between Re.
publcans and Democrats is not impossible, but it is
improbable; and in any event it would BE- unim-
portant Nominal partisan attachments will be Of
vastly less significance in the next Senate than eco
nomio views.
To illustrate. A Republican who made his for.
tsne out Of lumber is likely to be appointed from
Maryland in succession to the lamented Rayner. II
all the States should elect Senators before April Is.
and II Illinois and Tennessee should by chance elect
three Republicans the Senate would be tied; that is,
it would have forty.eight Democrats and for-eight
non.Democrats. But as 4 matter Of fact, it would
be vastly better for the Democrats to have two liberal
Republicans elected in Illinois, even though it nom.
naly tied the upper chamber, than to have two Dem.
ocrats Of the Simmons -Bankhead- John Walter Smith
type chosen. 1t doesn't make so much difference
whether the Democratic tariff program Is carried out
by dint Of mastering support Of fortyve Democrats
and FIVE Republicans, but il would be very serious
matter for the incoming Administration il the Demo.
cratic measures should be defeated or MANNED by
reason Of Democratic defectons in Senate nomi.
naly controlled by Democrats.
) In Short the Democrats will be vastly better on
II they succeed by reason Of some Republican re.
endorsements than II they fail by reason Of Demo.
cratic defections.
Whether the President pro tempore shall be Z
Republican or a Democrat, or whether there shall
bs none at all, is highly unimportant The real di.
vision will not be partisan, When the Democratic
party can include Gore At one end and Simmons At
the other; when the Republican mantle is broad and
charitable enough to cover La Toilette on one flank
and Penrose on the other it signifies that nobodys
party label IS descriptive Before the special tariff
session is over party connections will have been SO
far forgotten that present conecturings about them
Will appear in retrospect as utterly fiat, stale, and
improbable.

Disappointment must be felt At the failure Of the

controversy over wages. 1t seems q shame that so
much highclass labor was spent to so little purpose

TAFT TELLS MINISTER OF FOR
ElGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE
NEUTRALITY is NOT SPECIFIC.
PEACE DIFFICULT |
Nj ()lU
President Says That Unless Congress
Gnacts New Measures, II viii be
an Effort to Preserve Peaceful Re
latIons with Mexico.

Washington, d. C., March b.
President Taft pointed ouC to the
members of he foreign relations
committee and the Texas congress
sional delegation at conference to-
day that federal neutrality was not
specific enough.
He is reported to have said that
unless congress enacted new meas
ures. it would be difficult to preserve
peace with Mexico. The president
and Secretary of War StimsOn insis;
hat the neutrality laws already en-
acted must be enforced strictly and
no aid given the Mexican rebels. Tho
president stated yesterday that ne
would not consider Intervention uu'
less authorized by congress 70 take
such a step.
After a conference today. the SEN
ate committee on foreign afTairs
unanimously adopted a joint resolu
ton prohibiting the shipment OF arms
from the United States into any
country on the American continent.
