WORDS KILL BILLS
Tactics Often Used in Senate to

Washington the ship purchase
bill which the administration desires
to have passed shall fail Of passage,
the result viii come from the killing
process known as talking bill to
death Now the senators who sue
coed in defeating a bin by debating it
at extreme length. thus preventing it
from coming to vote, always say
that they simply are giving the pro-
posed legislation proper discussion.
It is the members favorable to the
measure who insist that the bill which
they support Is being talked to
DEATH"
The records of congress show that
both big parties have had a share in
the work of smothering bills to death
with words. There are some marked
instances of this course of procedure
in the United States senate. The
house members cannot talk a bill to
death. because there is a day set for
a vote and the vote must come. In the
senate. however, only by unanimous
consent can day be set for a vote
So it is that unless the rules are
CHANGED, which is not at all likely, fu-
ture bills can be talked to death just
as bills of the past have met the same
fate.
Some years ago Senator Thomas n.
a NJ rF Tnnnnund
talked river and harbor appropria-
tion bill into its grave. 1t is possible
to talk bills to death in the senate
both at the short and the long sessions,
but the chances of doing 1t of course
are greater at the short session. when
congress must adjourn to March 4. AT
a long session the date of adjourn.
ment can be set forward and the talk.
ing members can be tired out, but II
they show great strength Of purpose
and of lungs they can worry the pro-
ponents of the bill by postponing the
day of adjournment, and 50 frequently
a bills friends surrender and allow ad
journment to come and the bill which
they FAVOR 10 die.
During the Roosevelt administra
ton Senators Stone of Missouri and
Gore of Oklahoma, Democrats, and
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin. Re
publican, tried to talk the Aldrich
emergency currency bill to death. The
three talked day and night, relieving
one another as the speaker became
exhausted. Senator Gore is blind, and
after talking for hours he sat down
thinking that Senator Stone was in
the the chamber and ready to relieve
him. Both Senators Stone and La
Toilette we're absent taking rest al
the time, and. selling advantage OIL
the situation, the advocates of the
measure succeeded in forcing a vote
and the bin was adopted.

VENTILATION IN COAL MINES
Many Points to Be Observed In the
Installation Of Indispensable
Machinery.

The supreme importance Of good
ventilation in coal mines is now gen.
orally recognized. and what consti-
tutes good ventilation is the subject
of a bulletin issued by the U. s. bu-
reau of mines. An efficient ventilat-
ing system must supply fresh air in
sufficient quantities for all the men
and must dilute and render harmless,
and quickly remove. all dangerous
gases in the workings. Large airways
and slow-moving but ample currents
are better than narrow airways and
air currents moving so fast that they
stir up and carry the coal dust, and
the ventilating fan should be kept
running "a hours day whether there
are men in the mine or not. The fan
should not be placed over the shaft or
in front OF a drift or slope opening
into the mine, but at one side, so that
1t will not be disabled In case of an
explosion. Generally 1t is a serious
mistake to reverse the fan. If there
is a fire in the mine this is likely to
drive infiammable gases over the fire
and cause an explosion, and at any
time there is danger that reversing
the fan will push the infiammable
gases out on naked lights,-Modern
