THE CONSTITUTION

nary work being thus disposed of, all
the buncombe and wisdom made a
part of the Record, and all the steer

in favor of the two holding separate
sessions until vote can be had IL we
must have two houses.
Then I am in favor of the vote be-
ing taken by push-button system,
operated by electricity. The business
of the nation suffers because of the
time spent in calling the roll. Any
good electrician could put in a sys-
tenn by which a vote could be taken
In two minutes. even in the House,
which is three times as large as
any deliberate body should be.
The House and Senate have too
long been checks on each other. The
time has come when they should
help each other and pull together.
The present system is about as sem
sible as the arrangement would be X

a first and second chamber, the BUSH
ness of one being to take the manu-
script of the other and carefully re-
write them on typewriters, being
careful, for the most part, to put the
paper in so that the same type would
hit in the same spot as formerly
while the first writer's sat and twid-
died their thumbs.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

for the Senate against Senator Cum
minis might force the whole debate
to the tariff.
But at this time, taking into ac-
count the entire Indifference with
which the West has received the new
schedules, and the generally compli-
mentafy words that are used when
the President is spoken of, 1t would
appear that it will be very hard, In
the words of the football field, to
warm up the old squad and put pep
into the game without some new
formations.
The fact is. the people are not in
dignant because the schedules have
been brought down, and they are not
indignant because the President, hav-
ing been elected to do the job, set
about it with vigor and determine
ton, and nothing short of serious
financial distress between now and
the election of congressman next year
is going to make them indignant 1t
may we'll be doubted whether Presi-
dent Wilson could be beaten in Iowa
this year on the tariff, or on his part
in its enactment.
But whatever the future may have
in store it may be said today with
entire assurance that 1t will be mis-
fortune on every ACCOUNT IL the Cafln
is again forced to the front as the
paramount issue. The tariff is a
business adjustment and should no
more be in politics than any other
business policy of the government.
No logical or consistent line of divi-
sion can be drawn on the tariff The
only line of division is the historic
one that arose out of the controver-
sizes of the Civil War and that line
ceased to have any significance long

ny HERBERT QUICK

The House of Representatives sits
twiddling it's various thumbs while
the Senate discusses the currency
bill. This being the only business be-
fore it, the House put the bill behind
it and quit.
The Senate had as much time to
study the currency question as the
House. but O'Gorman, Hitchcock and
few of the very deliberate minds
still need light, they say. What were
these gentlemen doing while the
House was becoming informed in the
premises? What have they all been
doing all these years since the Aid
rich Commission puS the whole mat
ter before the country?
The Senate is theoretically ignor-
ant of all that took place in the
House When the Senate passes its
bill the House will be constructively
ignorant of what the Senate has done
and said. In great surprise it will
say, "Amendmentsl Bless our hearts,
have the senators amended our bill?"
and the matter will all "go to con-
ference"
1t seems to me that the House. in
stead of twiddling its thumbs, might
we'll be employed in taking part In
the deliberations of the Senate.
In fact, it seems to me that 1t would
be better If all our important bills
were considered in joint session of
the two houses. so that when the
dreary debate is over all that would
be necessary would be a few ballots
in each house to get the separate
view of each body. If the House
and Senate had met together all
this time, so that each would have
listened to the views of the members
of the other, the Senate might have
been ready to vote almost as soon as
the House had passed the bill. The

ing a measure in which another
solemn body under the sape roof is

GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
delivered fifty years ago today, near the close
of the Civil War;.

-Four score and years ago fathers
brought forth this continent new nation con-
ceved in liberty and dedicated the proposition that
all men are created equal
Now we are engaged in great civil war, testing
whether that nation, any nation conceived and
so dedicated, can long endure We met on great
battlefield of that war. We have to dedicate
portion of that field final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that that nation might live
1t is altogether fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But in larger sense, cannot dedlcate-we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow-this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here
have consecrated it, far above poor power to add
detract. The world will little note nor long remem-
Der what we say here, but it never forget what
they did here 1t is for us, the living, rather to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have nobly advanced 1t is rather for us
to be here dedicated to the great task remaining be-
fore us-that from these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to that cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion-that here high
ly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain
and that this nation, under God shall have new birth

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Why Benjamin R. Curtis Resigned

II sometimes think that Benjamin

II was" said Mr.. Woodbury., ''es-
pecially interested in Judge Curtis
because he was appointed by Presi-

who died in the first year of President
Fillmore's administration.
II can recall we'll, although L was
young man at the time, the COM
mendation which this appointment OF
Mr. Curtis caused not only in Boston,
but throughout the country. l re.
member some lawyers speaking OF
the appointment as especially meri-
torious because Judge Curtis was one
of the youngest men ever named fol
associate Justice. The appointment
seemed TO show that the younger law
yers of that day were to have 8
chance.
well, in 1851 think that was the
year-the whole country was startled
by the announcement that Judge Cur.
It's had resigned his place upon th'
Supreme Court bench and was com
ing back to Boston to resume thu
practise of the law.
Il am not certain of the fact bu
| IL is my impression that this resigna
ton was the first ever made, except
1 ing that OF John Jay and perhaps on
/ or two others in the earlier days o
