THE FILIBUSTER

The Washington Times takes TO
task certain metropolitan news
paper" for opposing the cotton fill
buster in Congress during the last
few DAYS Of the late session, on the
ground that the same paper strongly
approved another recent nlibuster, de-
signed to prevent the passage OF the
rivers and harbors appropriation bill.
In the course OF its remarks The
Times declares that fllihustcr Is not,
Of itself. an improper proceeding, but
is frequently a very effective and an
eminently proper weapon by which
Il minority can have its way. 1t states
hat the identity of the OK that Is be-
ing gored plays an important part in
determining the attitude of any news
paper toward particular filibuster.
The proceeding known as a fllibust-
er is of ancient and frequent use. It's
lmpropricty Is rarely assailed in Con-
sress, because no member knows just
when he may find it to his purpose to
| make use of il, and he does not care
10 be Inconsistent without benefit. For
this and other reasons. there Is no
particular outcry against the filibus-
ter.
| But 1t does not seem entirely accu-
| rate to describe 1t as a weapon of the
minority. More frequently 1t is an OBJ
structiye effort of one or two indivi-
| iuals, disgruntled or cranky, and 1,
enables them to hold up the business
of the entire Congress until the will OF
.hese few individuals shall be done
Or until they shall be worn out. 1t is
doubtful II the fiibuster is proper
proceeding. Congress necessarily
works by majorities, and while it is
rue that minorities have rights that
he majorities should respect, it Is
seldom that any good comes of q fill,
buster. Notable exceptions are the
ieat Of Senator Carmack in defeating
ship subsidy, during the last few days
Of his service in Congress, and afte!
his State had failed to re-elect him
and the success of Mr.. Burton a few
weeks ago in cutting down the rivers
and harbors appropriation because O
reduced revenues due to the European
war.
Elections are sufficiently frequen'
in this country to give minorities thei,
inning without resort to the filibus.

aot Of general interest Is under con,
sideration. If the people are dissat-

pends upon your assimilation, the
