Milwaukee, Aug. 27.-Whether neg

ted as members was one of the sub
jects before the American Bar asso-
citation which opened its thirty-fifth
annual meeting here today.
The question arose in special re-
port of the executive committee, de-
claring that although it had been
the settled practice Of the association
to elect only white men as members
three negro members, including Viii
liam Fl. Lewis, an assistant to the
United States attorney general, lad
been seated by the committee in ig-
norance Of their race. The commit
tee therefore rescinded its action,
and. allowing the men to remain uual-
flied as nominees for membership,
asked the entire association to vote
on the question.
Attorney General George w. vic
kersham announced he would make 8
strenuous fight against any attempt
to unseat Mr.. Lewis and the othei
negro lawyers, declaring the commit
tee had no power after once seating
the men to take away their member

Importance and IN the main, thai
was a bill prepared by me in a prior
congress.
The claimed reformation OF the
rules has proved a farce That the
house has been inefficient is shown by
the fact that over 200 senate bills
which passed the senate remain IN
acted upon in the house.
1T is a constant boast that the DEM
ocrats at this session passed law
providing for publicity Of campaign
contributions. Such is not fact.
They only passed an amendment to
the law which had previously been
passed by a republican house and The
the part is one relating to primary
campaign expenses that was inserted
dn the law by the republicans against
the protest of the democratic side.
Somewhat similar is the bill relating
to eight hour labor, which is only an
amendment of a previous law and
only made slight change in the pro
vision OF the original act.
Practically all the laws Of any I'M
portance passed at this session were

Washington, Aug. 2i.--President
Tafts economy commission, 1t was
discovered today, was ruthlessly
trimmed by tAe democratic house and
by the senate in the sundry civil ap-
preparation and the legislative appro-
priation bills.
In addition to limiting the powers
Of the commission to matters Of trans
acting the public business Of the gov
ernment only in the several execu-
tive departments, the sundry civil
bill reduces the salaries of its mem
bers. The chairman now gets $1O,-
600 a year while the five other mem
bers receive $4,000 each. The new
law provides that not more than three
persons may be paiu more than $4,-
600 per annum and cuts to $4,000 the
amount designated with which to
prosecute the work.

his annual address today before the
organization said IN part:
when we reflect that two amend
ments to our national constitution ars
now apparently soon to be adopted
when we consider the radical changes
in their organic law. already secured
in several states and contemplated in
others; when we remember the
marked innovations in political
methods. accomplished BY the direct
primary extended this year for the
first time to the selection Of presi-
Dental candidates, it IL not necessary
to look beyond the extensive confines
Of our own land, nor to consider
changes elsewhere. scarcely less sig
nificant, to establish the proposition
that we live in an age Of political rev
olution.
Nov we seem to have reached a
time when the very constitution and
frame Of our government Is under
critical examination. The necessity
for these safeguards ii administration
which have been deemed essential to
the security Of rights to life. to lib
erty and to property, is called in ques.
tion. The progressive tide, stayed by
constitutional barriers, threatens now
to sweep them all away"
Mr. Gregory reviewed the work Of
the recent session OF congress and
said that perhaps the most significant
act was the adoption Of a JOINT reso-
luton proposing to the states an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for the election Of members OF
the senate by direct vote. He referred
to the Lorimer case as Strengthening
the popular sentiment for the direct
vote. Referring to the action of GER
tain states in extending the suffrage
to women Mr.. Gregory said:
1T certainly seems as if women
were entitled to self-government as
well as men. 1t is the Jeffersonlan
idea and believe 1t to be the true
one, that all men are entitled, not
merely to wise government, not mere
ly to honest government, not only to
good government but to self govern
ment.
