Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1913-05-22

rumored that several other progress
sive Republicans and some Democrats
Intend to do the same thing. In the
house 1t is sharply case of the ma
1ority rule. What the leaders OF the
dominant party want to have done is
done and the program that they fix
for general debate and for debate I'M
der the five-minute rule is adhered to.
In the senate no majority rules
against the debating wish of the in
dividual.
Ii is expected that this bill. freight
ed with SO many joys or woes accord
Ing to the way in which 1t is looked
at. Will be passed by the house at the
time agreed upon and that it will be
passed by great vote.
1t has been put cynically within
day or two that two good old travel
ing companions reached Washington
together. the tariff and summer wealth
err The latter for a few hours now
has quit the company OF the tarih,
but the two companions will get to-
gether once more shortly and the
capital and the capitol will present
again the scenes OF recent summers
1t is the came old tariff drama over
again in the same setting and with
good many new faces among the minor
actors.
good many OF the members OF
congress say with a perfect abandon
of frankness that 1t is just as well
the dominant ones limited general de-
bate to a few days and will limit
debate under the five-minute rule to
only few days more. Even such
tariff patriots as Mr. Payne and Mr..
Fordney ii is said are glad in their
hearts that the thing as far as the
house is concerned is to be over
quickly.
No Friction There.
While some persons who seem
always to be looking for a row
have found on several occasions
symptoms of friction between Presi-
dent Wilson and one or two of his
cabinet officers nothing really has de
yeloped yet in the way of trouble
which any political opponent of the
president could lay his finger on and
say here is where they come to the
parting OF the ways"
These seemingly are the plain facts
in the case thus far. and men OF all
! parties here say that as far as peace
and concord in the cabinet are con
cerned they are there TO sit at the
family council table twice week and
probably TO be present whenever the
official ones get together on Other
q. occasions in between.
There seemingly, however. has bee5
=, a slight difference OF opinion on Tho
= face OF things between Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds and the president
Note that il is said on the face o
things but nothing has happened t
show that Mr. Wilson up 10 date does
not agree with his cabinet officer. Th'
seeming difference lies in the fact tina
Mr. Wilson on one or two occasions
has expressed views which seem u
be counter TO those expressed by NJ
McReynolds in a specific case
The Attorney General has said tina
the case of the American Telephon
= and Telegraph company. charged Will
a being p monopoly in restraint O
trade. or something much like that
should be referred to the interstat
- commerce commission instead OF &c
- ing the way of prosecution. Does thl
mean that there is a radical differenc
, OF opinion on trust matters betwee

- general? II seems TO be a case T.
