plsApvANTAGEousLY LOCATED

DlsADVANTAGEoUsLY LOCATED The copy books tell as that there is always room at the top but it is not always we'll to be there as our junior senator learned on August during the consideration of the Pan- anna canal bill. Senator Fall of New Mexico offered an amendment which perhaps no senator quite understood from the reading of the secretary. It is doubtful whether Mr. Fall under stood it or intended it to have any meaning at all.
 But it seemed to be aimed in some way at the trusts and that was enough for Henry who being by alphabetical priority at the head of the list voted. presumably. sonorously, Yea" Mir Ashurst is the most youthful and inconsiderate trust bust CT in the senate.
 The next senator voted nay as did the next and the next and the next until the roll call had proceeded well down the list, to MT. Sutherland. MT. Ashurst to this time had not observ- ed that MT Fall had voted against his own amendment. But now he be- gan to get awake. He arose for in- formation. to inquire how the senator from Wisconsin had voted.
 But the Congressional Record of that date tells the story better than We can:
 MIR FALL. MT President. I desire to offer an amendment to the amend ment which has just been adopted
 THE PRESIDENT pro tempore. It is too late to officer an amendment. The amendment can be offered as an independent amendment to the section as amended
 MIR. FALL. I offer it as an amend ment to the section as amended
 THE PRESIDENT ITO tempore. The amendment proposed by the Senator from New Mexico will be stated
 THE SECRETARY. Following the amendment just agreed to, it is pro- posed to insert the following:
 NO SnlpS CdTGNlnS SOOuS, wares Oi merchandise manufactured by any per son, company, or corporation which IS doing business in violation of any of the provisions of either of the acts of Congress referred to shall be permit ted to enter or pass through the canal until such ship and cargo shall have been first examined by the proper officials and a decree of court of ch GaNr rendered Geclar.rg that, the owr CTS of this ship have not violated any of the provisions of either of the acts re- ferred to. and until after a decision should have been rendered that no portion of such cargo has been man. ufactured by any person. corporation, or company violating any of the pro- siOns of said acts.
 THE PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question is on agreeing to the amendment offered by the Senator from New Mexico (Mr. FalD to the section as amended.
 MIR FALL. On that I ask for the yeas and nays.
 The yeas and nays were ordered, and the secretary proceeded to call the roll.
 MIR McCUMBER (wnen his name was caled. I again announce my pair. but believe that I can make a fair guess as to how my pair would vote if he were present, and I will take the chance of voting I vote nay"
 MIR. SUTHERLAND (when his name was called). Notwithstanding my pair. I think I will take the liber- ty of voting upon this question. I vote nay"
 MIR. ASHURST (after having voted in the affirmative). ! should lilza to inquire how the Senator from Wis consin MT. La Folette) has voted7
 MIR. LA TOILETTE. 1 voted nay
 MIR. ASHURST. I desire to change my vote to nay
 MIR. SHIVELY. I again announce that my colleague (Mr Kern) is un- avoidably and necessarily absent from the Chamber. Were he present he would vote nay" I desire also to have this announcement as to his absence stand for the day.
