WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-With an
arraignment of President Wilson's
administration and OF what he called
decadence in American society and
government, Senator Works of Cali
fornia, who retires March A. began a
valedictory speech in the senate yes
terday. He denounced profligacy Of
wealth, recommended that the idle
rich be compelled by law to work,
and urged formation of new pro-
gressiye political party known as the
liberty party"
Recess for the night interrupted
the speech after two hours and the
senator will conclude today.
Senator Works declared usurpation
OF power by the president had
amounted practically to Dictator

"If this kind Of executive coercion
is persisted in and submitted to by
congress, then our government is no
longer a government Of the people.
1t is not a democracy. 1t is not a
republic. 1t is a despotism worse
than any known monarchy"
He reviewed the Wilson admins

repeal Of the Panama fires tolls
clause, he said the president had
descended to the level of common
lobbyist and the submission Of con-
gress he designated as impracticable.
Efforts to force the shipping bill,
he said, were shameful" adding that
the reserve act passed by "presiden-
tial dictation and caucus rule" and
the child labor bill by "humiliating
