Your Senate-It Is a
Representative Body
Except When 1t Is Not

1t is a body that is part of your So
called representative government.
1t represents you.
1t is supposed to make such laws as you
want and to conduct its business as you
would have it.
This is the present-day accepted
theory, although the u. S. senate was
originally instituted as sort Of buffer
against the majority of the people of the
republic going as far as they might
want to go.
When man wants to get into the U. S.
senate, he mixes with the people.
He talks much aboat popular rule,
keeping in close touch with the people.
being servant of the people, and listen
ing to nothing save "Vox Populi.'
He gets right down on the grass with
the people, figuratively speaking, and ne
sounds good.
But when this same fellow gets to
Washington as a senator, ne is different.
He doesn't hear any "Vox Populi," and
doesn't want to.
He raises, in his mind, pedestal OF
official dignity and straddles it.
Instead of being open and above-board
with the people, he begins to conform to
rules and "courtesies" under which he
can hide things from the people and ne
sees less beauty in letting the people rule
than in finding jobs for his own politi-
cal henchmen.
Observe, for instance, the present dis
turbance in your U. S. senate.
One Rublee is nominated for the fed
eral trade commission.
He is opposed by certain senator's, who
propose that reasons for his rejection
shall be covered up.
There's the case of Brandeis, too.
A senate committee is putting Rublee
and Brandeis on trial for unfitness; on
secret trial, so that you shall not know
how your senator's exercise their political
or other spite.
Your senators, so open, frank and 'Eox
Populi" at home, do things In the DARK
at Washington in order to hide their
deviltry from you.
Fortunately, there are at present a
few progressive and other senator's who
oppose this secret session gag.
They really don't favor the methods of
burglars, opium-den habitues, ETC., when
one is posing as representative of the
public, in the matter of choosing other
public servants.
In addition, the holding up of Rublee's
and Brandeis' nominations is sort of
arrest on suspicion" and a public reflec-
ton on them; but, we guess, that in spite
Of this and in spite of progressive opposi-
ton, the senate will represent you by
sticking to its dark cellar policy of hiding
things from you.
