EMANCIPATION OF THE SENATE

A momentous reform has taken
place in the United States senate
one that will prevent the recurrence
of such a disgraceful filibuster as
was enacted during the closing
hours of the last congress. No more
can a few obstinate and self-wllled
men avail themselves of a senatorial
privilege to humiliate the nation.
The senate, responding to the ire
mendous cutlery of popular indigna-
ton. has adopted a rule by which de-
bate can be limited. Thus has passed
the archaic practice, existing for
more than century, under which a
measure can be killed by physical en-
durance in debate in the expiring
hours of congress.
Up to this time the united states
senate has been the only legislative
body in the world which could not
act when its majority was ready for
action. There is not cabinet,
court, council, board or commission
anywhere in which minorities can
prevail as they have been permitted
to prevail in the United States senate
up to this time Under the discarded
rule of the senate requiring unanl-
nous consent before vote could be
had, a single member at any time
could deprive the majority. OF all OF
its rights. By this prQcess the tables

twelve senators were able to defeat
eighty-four senators who, prepared to

this will not occur again, and as good
