The Senate and Some Senators,

Joseph w. Bailey has in mind re-
turning to. the Senate. 1t is not at
all surprising. He was a very promi-
nent member of that body when lie
resigned, and altogether too young
for the step. He should have re-
mained, and fought out in commits
sion any differences existing between
himself and other democrats at home
and elsewhere. He seems not to have
found full comfort in private life, and
so yearns for the excitement of the
old game. He thinks of the Senate
again because the chamber was to his
taste, and while there he was con-
sfdered of ideal senatorial timber.
If we go back thirty-odd years we
come upon Roscoe Conkling regret
ting his resignation from the Senate,
and trying to return. His regret,
however, was instantaneous, and his
effort to regain the place soon fol-
lowed. But bitter factional war in
the republican party was in progress
and he was a member of the losing
side. He was 4 man Of commanding

talents, and both his party and the
country lost by his disappearance
from public life.
A few years later-in I885another
man of great prominence, ability and
attractiveness left the Senate. and
never returned. This was Thomas
F. Bayard, who became Secretary of
State in the first Cleveland cabinet.
Like Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Conkline.
he had found his true field in the
Senate, and had exercised consider
able influence there. His nearest
friends always regretted his change
of base, and probably he did also. In
large measure he was lost to the pub
lie from that time. His long suit was
not diplomacy.
Eight years later another very
strong man gave up his seat in the
Senate for a cabinet post. John q.
Carlisle had been a senator only
short time when he accepted the
Secretaryship of the Treasury, but in
that time had become leader in the
Senate. Had he remained there he
would have been happier and far
more useful to the country. In asso-
ciating himself with an administra-
ton which was bound to fail, having
obtained power on what Mr.. Bryan
characterized as a bunco game, Mr..
Carlisle digged his own grave.
Four years later John Sherman, in
leaving the Senate for the State De-
partment, committed what his near
est friends regarded as blunder. His
health was failing, and a sort of rest
was intended by those who induced
him to make the change. But the
Senate was home to him, and the
change told heavily against him.
Both physically and mentally he soon
broke down. As a senator he
wrought many years-some of them
momentous in the issues solved-for
the benefit of the whole country,
though at all times as strict and
straight partisan.

Senator Lewis and the Big Loan.

Senator Lewis of Illinois has per
haps, not fully appreciated the con-
ditions under which the proposed
credit loan is to be made in this
country to England for the purpose
of stabilizing the rate of foreign ex-
change. In his letter to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and the federal
reserve board Senator Lewis takes
the ground that the withdrawal of
so large a sum as a billion dollars
would seriously cripple American
finances, taking that amount of
money from our commercial, agricul-
tural and manufacturing centers. AS
a matter of fact, under the proposed
terms of this so-called loan not one
dollar is to leave the United States,
all Of it being retained here and paid
here to American manufacturers and
producers for goods sold to the al
lies for use in the war. These are
the basic terms of the loan and the
condition upon which it is possible
to obtain the sanction of the govern
ment.

Work for Congress.

Work for Congress is piling up.
Take four questions, which alone will
demand good deal of attention: (D
The national defense, (2) votes for
women, (3) prohibition, and Cd ad-
ditional revenue.
While sentiment for preparedness
has been growing Of late, resistance
to the proposition has been taking
an inventory of its resources. Mr..
Bryan, it seems generally under
stood, will lead the opposition. Since
leaving the cabinet he has been in
consultation here and there with the
pacifcists. The Michigan millennial-
ist, Henry Ford, has just consulted
him. He will lay the course in both
House and Senate, though the second
in command has not yet been named
in either chamber.
The women asking the ballot for
their sex have been busy since their
defeat last winter, and claim to be
much encouraged by the prospects for
the coming winter. One of their
leaders, Mrs. Medill Mccormick, de-
clares that over two hundred votes
in the new House are pledged to the
cause. That insures at least very
lively contest.
The prohibitionists also have been
Strengthening their lines in the past
six months. They lost in the recent
Kentucky primaries, but scored heav-
lily later in South Carolina. When
Congress meets they are coming up
again smiling and confident. Capt.
Hobson will not appear as a member
of the new House, but the cause will
have his sympathy and probably the
benefit of his advice. He stands at
the head of those who challenge
Henry Watterson's dictum that mo
democrat can be a prohibitionist.
The revenue problem cannot be
postponed. 1t is condition, not a
theory, that confronts both the ad-
ministration and the country. Not
| nearly enough money is coming in
when more than ever is necessary.
Starving the government is out of
the question. 1t must be provided
for according to the plain needs. How
shall the additional revenue be
raised? A tidy sum is necessary,
and the President is expected to ex-
press his views to Congress.
Washington during the winter, and
maybe until the middle of spring,
will be truly live town, with some
thing doing every minute. Well, why
not? This is headquarters, and the
lines are forming for the next quad
rennial contest. Come one, come all !!
Accommodations are sufficient. A
welcome is assured. The peoples
representatives always want to hear
