By W. V. BYARS.

Lyrchings are almost unknown
in Mexican politics. This is because
the drumhead court-martial is
much more satisfactory to the
Spanish sense of dignity than
ruder methods which we sometimes
use in supporting what we like to
call our Anglo-SaxOn civilization.
There is q nineteenth century
tradition illustrating the Anglo
Saxon Yiriiity Of the "He-Man" Of
the early Northwest. During the
period when the New York Tribune
loved to speak to the "Rowdy
West" it is said that one Of four
first United States Senator'S from
the Northwest had served on a
vigilance committee, and that per-
sonally he took the leading part
in hanging its victim. The more
dignified Mexican hidalgo, who be-
longs to the winning party, would
hardly pull q rope himself to get
rid Of his worst enemy. He much
prefers the brief and impressive
ceremonies Of the oourt-martial,
after which his late politial oppon-
ents stand against the wall, facing
out, and perhaps giving the signal
themselves to the firing squad. As
they accept the fortunes of war and
politics, Mexican hidalgoes, thus
fusilladed, would undoubtedly pre-
fer this method to being dragged
out of bed at night without cere-
mony and left swinging by the neck
from the nearest railroad trestle.
This superiority for the court
martial was the principal argument
made for the Chamberlain court
martial bill by its most earnest sup
porters before the Senate Military
Committee. They argued that it
would relieve the tension under
which the best citizens known to
them were being tempted almost
beyond human endurance to take
the law into their own hands,
which means. Of course. hanging
some one they disapprove. This
relief, said to be so urgently need
ed, will now be denied them. The
prospect for fusillading in the
Northwest or elsewhere is under
the Chamberlain bill now so remote
Senator Chamberlain himself vlr-
tually despairs OF the passage Of the
bill. This appeared during his COL
loquy in the Senate yesterday with
Senator Brandegee OF Connecticut,
fnNRAAnnn1
to inquire. through the Senate Jul
dietary Committee, into the consti-
nationality Of the proposed substitu-
ton Of the court-martial for trial by
jury. Senator Brandegee said that
rather than vote to transfer the trial
OF 100000 American civilians from
the civil courts to drumhead court
martials, he would resign from the
Senate or die in his tracks. He did
not think. however. that his resolu-
ton would be necessary after the
condemnation of the bill by the
and he was ready to with
draw II, II he should understand from
Senator Chamberlain that the bill
would not be pressed for passage.
Mr.. President" said the Senator
from Oregon, sit would seem to be
work Of .supererogation to press
bill when the Chief Executive op-
poses It," But without hoping TO
gain any decisive majority for the
bill under the circumstances, he
would prefer to leave It In the hands
Of the Military Committee to which =
had been referred. 1.-THE hill Is deaC
and everybody knows It," was Sena-
tor Brandegee's comment. Accord
ingly, be withdrew his resolution and
left the future OF the fusiIlade as an
method TO Senator Cham
berlainB own committee.

lndeciSlYe debate followed on Sen
ator Brandegee's resolution intend
ed TO force issues for an early dec
laration Of war on Turkey and Bull
garia. Senator Knox introduced a
resolution. which was laid on the
table, asking the President to give
the Senate such Information on the
subject as may be compatible with
the public interest In a resolution
introduced by. Senator Owen. the
President was requested to call on
our allies to declare the rules Of
international law, for refusing to

The subject Of the Mooney trial, as
introduced by the resolutions of a
nod carriers union in Seattle, divid-
ed attention with the Overman bill.
Senator Phelan of California wished
to define the attitude Of the Admins
tration in the Mooney case and, at
length, did so, though consent to in
sert in the Congressional Record the
official reports SUMMING it was de-
MED. Perhaps the bod carriers Of
Seattle might have paused for sec
ond thought had they known the con-
sequences of their resolutions as in
troduced on Monday by Senator Poin-
dexter with the most emphatically
eloquent disapproval. In this he was
vigorously REINFORCED yesterday by
Senator Sherman of Illinois. Per-
haps at his best in the extension Of
the always comprehensive scope of
his ideas Senator Sherman covered
two hemispheres, from the Pacific
coast of America to that of Siberia.
No doubt. his most remarkable con-
clusion was reached in comparing
himself with Russian Bolsheviki"
and American hoboes. 1t is that he
represents the American middle
classes" On the other hand, it may
be argued that intellectually and 9TH
erwise he ranks high among the su-
permen Of the Senate and OF the Mis-
sissipDi valley.
AS the discussion Of the Overman
bill proceeded, it was enlivened some
what by the vigorous support given
the bill bv Senator Mcclellan of Ten
nessee. Mr.. McKellar's iiAal Ameri-
can he sometimes describes as a "he-
man." He so described Mr.. Charles
NJ. Schwab yesterday in indorsing his
appointment as a representative of
Democratic demands for virility. Mr..
Schwab, however, differs in various
respects from Andrew jackson, who
is oftenest used by Tennesseeans in
illustrating their ideas of Tennessee
virility in its most masculine form.

otto knitters of Massachusetts are in

stock no more can be mailed to our

After passing the $500, 900 District
of Columbia garbage bill, the House

bers Of the committee explained the
urgent need for many Of the miner
ais named. A complete education in
geology and mineralogy would be
needed to understand the bill in de-
tail, but the House grasped easily the
main idea that it called for $50, 900, :
900 to carry on the work Of stabiliz-
ing prices and promoting production,
begun with wheat. Mr.. Walsh Of
Massachusetts, professed to expect q
