A WORD FOR LUKE LEA.

Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee probably has a
feeling today, he contemplates the revised com,
mittee list of the Senate, that he has been in a
fight and that while the decision was draw he goi
most of the punishment
Senator Lea was leader, organizer and big share
of the motive power behind the fgnt to oust the
reactionaries from headship of the powerful COM
mittees. He didn't win.
As very young Senator with very great deal
of pep" in his composition, we trust Mr.. Lea will
not worry He who fights and doesn't run away
will live to fight another day.
Let Senator Lea contemplate the experience Of
La Toilette, on whom the Senate walked OUT when
ne made his first speech. Let him remember La
Follette's experience of having Administration, pa
tronage, overwhelming majorities, all devoted to the
business for years of suppressing him.
Then let him consider that yesterday La Toilette
having survived his enemies and grown to place
of power and leadership, was called to the White
House to consult President of the opposite party
about that partys program
Getting licked is the precise procedure by which
men grow strong enough to do the licking.
The Washington times., 1913-03-15

justified Dr. Neills action. The uniform fearless
ness and honesty of his work in other parts OF the
country has established powerful presumption in
mis- favor. He dared oppose the great meat pack
ing interest," and he fearessly attacked conditions
in New England industry. 1t is difficult to convince
people that he has been unfair to the South.
As a matter of plain politics, it may well be urged
that Dr. Neill ought to be confirmed because he has
organized labor solidly at his back. 1t knows his
honesty and sincerity, and knows that he has taken
the broad social view of the labor problem As a
member of the Erdman mediation board, this con-
fdence has served him and the country magni6cently,
for it has given him the power to bring employers
and employees together in the settlement of many dis
tressing labor differences. =
Only the narrowest and most unfair consideration
of Charles p Neills record could possibly warrant
the rejection of his nomination.

THE NEW SENATE COMMITTEES.

With Martin as chairman of Appropriations
Simmons as head of Finance. and Clarke leader OF
Commerce, it cannot be claimed that the progress
sive Democrats won their fight for reorganization OF
the Senate committees The whole list as it has been
made up for submission to today's caucus tells the
story of a compromise. In that compromise, the
conservatives took exceeding good care of them
selves.
The radicals had captured the committee on
committees and could have taken what they chose,
if the proposition of compromise had not been i'm
pressed powerfully on them. Two years ago Mr..
Bryan came here expressly to fight for the very
thing the progressives have been fighting for this
year. 1t is reasonably certain, therefore, that Mr..
Bryan did not dictate the compromise which pro-
gressive majority in the Democratic caucus has ac-
cepted President Wilson has been understood as
favoring the compromise, and it is presumable that
reports of his participation in order to bring it about
are correct.
The compromise may be denounced as surrender
by the progressive Democrats, but as matter of
fact they have done very well considering" The
Finance Committee is divided and its banking and
currency functions turned over to the new Bank
ing and Currency Committee, with Mr.. Owen, vet
eran radical at its head Moreover the progressves
get substantial majority the Democratic side of
Finance. The new rules tnat have been proposed,
giving the committee most of the powers that have
heretofore been welded by the chairman, such as
the naming of conferees will have to be tried out
before their efficacy can be estimated accurately.
They seem to represent a long step in the right
direction.
The progressive Democrats get the chairmanshps
of such important committees as Judiciary Inter-
oceanic Canal, Agriculture, Education, immigration,
and Public Lands But the reactionary forces come
off distinctly stronger, with Finance, Appropria-
tons, Military Affairs, Naval Affairs, Commerce Dis
trict of Columbia, Foreign Relations Postoffices,
Public Buildings, and Rules.
1t will not escape observation that the business
of making appropriation measures is chiefly in the
hands of the elder statesmen of very conservative
tendencies. The net result of the present compro-
mise is to leave the tariff session and the tariff legis
latons fate very uncertain and to postpone till
later time-doubtless two years hence-the irrepres
sble fight that is going result sooner or later in
a real progressive reorganization of the Senate.

THE FIGHT ON DIR. NELL.

The reason, or at last the pretext, finally given
for the Senatorial opposition to Charles P. Neill's
confirmation as Labor Commissioner is not politi-
cal reason. 1t relates to the integrity with which he
has discharged the duties of his office
Dr. Neil was a Roosevelt Republican, and ap-
pointed to office by Roosevelt. He was continued
under Taft, being one of very small group of men
whose recognized capabilities and special qualifca
tons made it possible to under both those Ad-
ministrahons. Now, because Of the very same rea-
sons tnat commended him to both Roosevelt and
Taft he is accepted despite his politics. by President
wilson Ii must be apparent that the present ap-
pointment represents determined effort of Presi-
dent Wilson to make merit the determining factor
Perhaps there is patronage reason for the
opposition to Neill. That would not be surprising
But it is not the given publicity. 1t is charged
instead that Ne sent investigator to study con-
ditions in Southern mills, among women and chill
dren and that this investigator made report favor
able to those conditions, report entirely satisfac-
tory to employers; report which averred that TIE
child workers were good deal better off than they
would be without this employment.
This particular report, it has developed, was very
familiar to the mill operators They knew what
sort of document it was, and when it did not get
publicity there was widespread charge that it had
been suppressed because it did not coincide with the
preconceived ideas Of DR.. Neill.

REORGANIZING OUR TOWN COUNCIL

The reorganization of the Senate Committee on
District of Columbia affords an interesting occasion
for comment on the form of government that is
provided for Washington. Congress is commonly re.
ferred to as the city council of Washington its &C
tive, working agencies are the Senate and House
Committees on District Affairs.
The Senate committee is just in process of re-
organization incident to the transfer of political con-
troll in the Senate from Republicans to Democrats
Not only does the committee get new chairman
and a new political complexion, but a number Of
changes in its personnel are made.
Perhaps the best way to show the extent of these
changes is to present. side by side, the new and the
old lists of this committee. They follow:
New Committee. Old Committee.
