Confidence in Sena-
tor Borah.

A little incident in the Senate
the other day when bill III
which Senator Borah was inter
ested came up for consideration
serves as sufficient commentary
on the estimation in which he is
held by his colleagues to those
who know the ways OF the Sen
ate. The bill had just been re-
ported from the committee and
was pressed for immediate con
sideration. 1t was not verv well
underst ood by many members OF
the Senate, and not knowing the
pressing need for the relief
sought to be provided by it, Ger.
tain senators began to make in
quiries and rose to object. There
was no time to explain but state
ment was made that it was Sen
ator Borah's bill and the amend
ments met with his approval.
which was sufficient. Objection
to immediate consideration was
not made and the bill was pass
ed without opposition.
1t is we'll knows that Senator
Borah has been remark ablv sue
cesslul III getting legislation
through the Senate introduced
bv him or which he has had in
charge, and while his fighting
qualities and generalship have
been called into full play in push
ing matters like the direct elect
ION of Senators. where there has
been fundamental difference of
opinions OF years standing,
there have been several occasions
like this where his colleagues
have been willing to rely upon
his judgement in matters which
they know have had his parti,
cular attentions, important
though they have been, so that
he has been able to obtain un
usually quick action upon them.

Head
ed Reprobate.

Now that the United States
Senate is getting SO close to the
people that members of that
body find it advisable to listen
to public sentiment" and to
consult with the people, who
have taken over from the legisla.
lures the job OF electing, public
interest should attach to pro-
positions like that contained in
a bill introduced a few days ago
by Senator Own of Oklahoma,
who would abolish the rule of
unlimited debate" in the upper
House. In explana ton of his
measure Senator Owen states
that under the rules OF the Senate
a group of Senators can hold up
any measure indefinitely by END
less talk in relays and by use of
dilatory motions" That this
has often been done is well
known, and Mr.. Owen states
that this puerile conduct is
dignifed bv the false pretense of
being freedom of debate" Sena-
tor Owen made the following
statement during the course of
his remarks representing his bill.
This thoughtless rule of unlinit-
ed freedom oi debate was debat-
ed in 1906, when there were
twenty-slx Senators, who met
to discuss their common affairs.
when only very few bills were
brought before the Senate. and
who had no conception that un-
limited freedom of debate really
meant a minority veto Now
that the Senate has ninety six
members, representing 10000,
| 600 people, when its interests
are the most gigantic import
ance, when its modern problems
of stupendous consequence are
demanding prompt and virile
action, when hundreds of I'M
portant bills are pending, this
hoary headed reprobate rises up
and strikes a posture of inscrut-
able wisdom and admonlshes
the world not to touch this
sacred principle of unlimited free
dom of debate. The venerable
age of this foolish precedent will
not save it from the just charge
of imbecillitv" Senator Owen
cited the cloture rule in vogue in
France, Germany, Austria
Hungary. Austria, Belgium, Den
mark and other foreign countries,
and concluded: Every one OF
the forty eight states of the
Union, while permitting freedom
OF debate, has set us the wise
and virtuons precedant of per-
mitting the control of the
majority. | remind every Sena-
tor in this body that in his own
state his legislative assembly,
whether in the House or in the
Senate, does not permit min
ority veto under the pretense of
freedom of debate"

MISSIONARY DEPLORES
ELLISISLAND CONDITION
Rev. P. Land Says "Fresh Air Treat
ment" Given Immigrants Results
in Hundreds of Deaths.
PRESENT SYSTEM DENOUNCED

The medical treatment accorded the
Thousand OF immigrants who are tempo
rarily detained in the government hospi-
tai at the immigration station at Ellis
Island was condemned last night by
Rev. P. Land, a missionary stationed
there. in an address made before the
ministers Of the Eastern Synod at a
meeting held in the First Reformed
Church. Sixth and n Streets Northwest.
The free air treatment, which seems
to be the rage among physicians Of to-
day, is the cause of hundreds OF immI-
grant children dying like so many flies, -
said DR.. Land Most Of the immigrant
children who come to this country have
spent most of their lives on the farm.
They have all Of the free air in their
work and little IN their houses. When at
work they dress warmly. and of all the
peoples who dislike to raise a window the
farmer takes the prize. These children
are accustomed to sleeping in warm
rooms and when put in the hospital wards
at Ellis Island with nothing bus a thin
sheet over them they die like flies"
The hospital at Ellis Island, claimed
to be one of the most modern in the
land, is death trap for the immigrant
children. They are compelled to lie in
rooms with the windows and doors wide
open. They get all of the fresh air they
not dressed to stand it,
DR.. Land. who for more than twenty
years has been a missionary of the Re-
formed Church at Ellis Island graph
caTiy described the minglifg sense OF joy
and horror with which the island is held
by immigrants coming to the promised
land"
\ review OF the seventy-five years Of
missionary activities OF the church in
Japan and China was made by Rev. J. q.
Rupp. of Allentown, Pa. field secretary
of foreign missions. He told of the great
hold which the Reformed Church had
gsined on the people of Japan through
the seventy-five missionary stations in
that country.
Rev. Rupp declared the greatest turn
ing point in the history of Christianity
was the fall of Adrianpole during the re-
cent Balkan war. He said that the fall
of this last great stronghold of Tur-
key made ii possible TO truthfully
say there was no land in the world where
a missionary could not proclaim the
truths of Christianity.
The home mission work of the past
fifty years was reviewed by Rev P II.
Schnstz. of Baltimore. Several important
business matters remaining unsettled fin
ally will be decided at a meeting this
morning. TO be held in the First Re
formed Church. The question of rcmov-
ing the mission house at Shcboygan. Wis.

TODAY'S ADJUSTMENTS

\ Splendid Attraction.

Last nights attraction at the Grand
theatre. the Bergen Marx Musical
company, one If the offerings on this
seasons lyccum course, was the best
and most thoroughly enjoyed of the
excellent attractions this popular form
of entertainment has presented.
The Bergen-MarX company is an
assemblage of musicians Of the high
est artistic ability In fact no better
music has rarely if ever been offered
in Tulsa than they offered last night,
and Mr., Alfred Hills Bergen, the vo-
calist, made distinct impression
upon the audienc and responded to
numerous encores after each number
he presented.
The company is composed Of Alfred
Hills Bergen, baritone; Leon Marx,
violinist; Hans Dressell violencellist
and Herman Sehuchard, pianist. The
program was a most pleasing arrange
ment of vocal and instrumental selec-
tions, and the audience was 50
charmed with their various rendltions
that they insisted on numerous en-
cores lot each IllNlllbtI VI Ali' N'i''
pany. on the rendition of Mr.. Ber'
gems last group Of songs, his attract
i've Irish ballads so captivated the au>
dlence that they encored him s'X
times.
Mr.. Bergen has n splendid baritone
voice, pleasing stage appearance, ana
he sang his selections with much dra-
matte ability. THE Pauper's Drive
was rendered in very artistic man
ner, and his singing of Loewe's weird
Edward" were both masterpieces.
Mr.. Leon Marx can well be classed
among the foremost violinists of the
country. Tulsa has had ample oppor-
tunity of hearing great violinlsts,
and the enthusiastic manner in Whlch
his numbers were received gave am
pie evidenc that Tulsa musc-love
had made a large place in their
hearts for this finished musician.
Tn remaining numbers of the course
will be held as usual in the NJ. f..

celving the congratulations of the pat
rons Of the course on the high class
Of attractions booked this season, and
the remaining three numbers are on
a par with those that have been given

The Coming Farmer.

What he is to be, what his sur
roundings will be, what will be the
spirit and purpose of the man, Sec.
retary McKcene OF the Illinois Farm.
ers' Institute tells us in the following
words.
THE farm problem of America IL
not in bursting barns, nor high-bred
stock nor soil fertility, nor even IN
the rural school. but in the farmer
himself. Its solution is in the indi
vidual known as the new farmer The
dreary drudgery Of the Cd farm exist
ence is fast passing away, and in itD
place is coming a broad, rich, FREQ
livelihood, never known before--'thc
new country life The new farmer
lives the new country life; the new
farmer builds for his wife and chill
dren a modern, sanitary attractive
home; the new farmer makes hard
roads. He installs a telephone, re
ceiycs his mail by fre delivery, and
encourages interurban service, sup
ports thriving rural church. and de.
mands an efficient consolidated school
with a high school course for his sons.
The new farmer reads and thinks; no
studies his own environment, sees his
opportunity and limitations, improves
the one and removes the other. Tho
new farmer Is not only a scientist, bu.
with his neighbors, for the general
good and uplift Of his immediate com
munty and above all else he realizeg
the dignity and importance Of his own
profession and individuality in the
permanent and national welfare"
Would any sensible, right spirited
man object to being that kind OF y
farmer and living that kind of farm
er's life? If not. why not then look
forward to It as being something
worth while to accomplish?
