Curtis OF KansaS-Charles Is his

whip of the United States senate.
He holds his seat and his responsible
party commission honOrably, ably
and well. He is esteemed and trust
ed by both sides of the august as
sembly and liked by everybody.
Newspaper men and the lovers sof
free speech can never forget what
Curtis did In the long drawn wrangle
over the unspeakable folly of "Clause
CO the Censorship bill. The fight
for a free press has grown tense in
the senate. The stamp of the Admin
istration held the majority of Demo
Gratis in line. The Republicans, free
of executive loyalty, were standing
in the main for free speech. Johnson,
of California, had been chosen to lead
opposition to the obnoxious clause
The Progressive element was with him.
The roll was called on Johnson's mo-
ton. Before the vote was annOunc-
ed it was known In the press gallery
that the vote was q tie. The amend
ment seemed lost unless the vice
president voted aginst the president
AN improbable thing. Curtis swift
ly motioned for the pair clerk of the
minority, and then hurried over to
| Senator Fernald of Maine. Fernald
received the recognition of the chair
and announced a transfer of his pair
which would allow him to QRst his
vote for the Johnson amendment just
the moment before the official an
nouncement.
