New York Sun: The Asquith home rule

Parliament. Certainly It will not satisfy

Absenteeism in Congress.

II always has been a common ex-
cuse for members of congress chided
about nonattendance upon the regu-
lar sessions OF the house and senate
TO explain that they we're busy in the
committees, where the real work is
done anyway.
The other day Senator Clark OF
Arkansas introduced resolution
tending TO compel better attendance
upon committee meetings, and in the
course OF debate Senator Warren OF
Wyoming dropped this very illumi-
mating remark:
l know In some OF the committees, for
instance in the committee on claims,
which has some thousands Of bills be-
fore II during every congress, that com
mIttec finds II very difficult to get Its
members to attend ana TO obtain
quorum.
And what is true Of this committee
Is doubtless true OF all Of them. in
the house as well as the senate. The
people do not elect men to congress
to afford them pleasant means Of d.
version or additional sources Of In
come. though that would never be
guessed from the absenteeism 80
common In both houses. II seems
ridiculous that efforts have to be
made to force. by strategic means,
the paid servants Of the people" to
stay at their posts and attend to the
peoples business. Or, perhaps. 1t is
first ridlcule to refer TO many Of
these men as servants OF the people.
