RESOLUTION HAS Teeth
Measure of Senator Walsh
Thought Opening Wedge
for Cloture Rule.

Washington. Jan. 24.-(Spccial.)-
An innocent looking resolution sub
mitted to the senate by Senator Walsh,
OF Montana, has been found. on ex-
animation. to have teeth In it and. IL
| adopted. 1t will be the opening wedge
for the adoption Of q cloture rule in
| the senate.
The resolution, which was submitted
on January II. is as follows:
Resolved. That 1t is the sense of
| the senate that the present session
will. without any action on the part
| of this body and without action or
concurrence of the house of repre-
sentatives. terminate at IL O'clock
meridian on March fourth, nine
teen hundred and seventeen.
Under present rules and practices.
the senate is a continuing body. and
any change in its rules can be effect
ed only by u two-thirds vote OF it's
| membership.
Should the resolution be adopted. the
! present senate would terminate its cx-
istence on March 4, and the next SEN
ate would be an entirely new and not
a continuing organization.
AS a new organization. the senate
| could adopt rules by n ma jority vote,
| and in this way adopt a cloture rule
| which has been found impossible under
| the two-thirds requirement.
Commenting upon the significance of
resolution l,a al,
| points out that the radicals in tho
| house are clamorng for less restric-
| tons upon debate. while the radicals
| in the senate are urging the cloturc
| rule so as to impose restrictions. The
Post says:
The senate radicals want clo-
ture rule. They desire to limit de-
bate on the floor OF the senate.
They say the present system OF
permitting unlimited debate Is ,ln-
democratic and that it leads to a
great waste of time: that II has
often resulted in killing measures
which 4 majority of the senate de-
sired by permitting n filibustcr to
the end Of the session.
The first move toward a Cloturc
| is the proposal that without action
on its own part the senate be dis
solved at II o'clock meridian March
4. This would mean that with tho
beginning of each new congress n
new set of rules would have to be
adopted in the senate. Only ma
jority would be needed to adopt
the new rules.
| II the radicals or the two
branches should be successful in
their efforts, the Importance Of the
senate would be subordinatcd to
| that of the house. Everything
would be discussed at length In tho
| lower branch. while majority rule
| in the senate would be so domin-
ant that Illuminating public de-
| bates would become obsolete and
| the senate would become merely
a rubber stamp, with which ap-
! prevail would be given to the we'll
| considered action Of the house.

| that Thaw should be locked up with
out delay. both for his own safety and
for that OF the public.
''Thaw, l believe. is an incurablc
paranoiac, one from BIRTH he said.
IF paranoiac is crossed, if his
sensibilities are injured by one of the
many inevitable personal conflicts of
daily life, he considers the person he
comes in conflict with an inveterate
| enemy. He gets the deluson that he
is bein prosecuted. He will not stop
at homicide, if in his delusion he
thinks that will free him from his
| prosecutor"
