Nearly two years ago men having

The day the political debate opened
In the senate was one thoroughly en-
Joyed by the people who crowded the
galleries. AT several stages of the pro-
ceedings ii was necessary for the pre-
siding officer to admonish the galleries
that they would be cleared II manifes-
tations of applause occurred. On one
OF the occasions Senator Lewis of Hi
nois, who defended Colonel House In
such a vigorous manner made a spe-
cial request that the galleries should
not show signs OF disapproval. The
presiding officer stated that the occu.
pants had already been so advised.
''They have been so advised for the last
100 years" remarked Senator Penrose
of Pennsylvania.
And without result" interjected
Senator Stone of Missouri
without effect, aud they will be ad-
vised for another 100 years to the same
effect" was the additional remark Of
Senator penrose.
The sentence which caused the first
demonstration in the galleries was ut
tered by PenrOse in speaking of Colonel
House TO Senator Stone. Il would like
TO have little sidelight on the colo
nel,' was the remark of the Pennsyl.
vania senator after explaining what a
mysterious character lac had been.
where did he get his military title?
ain curious 10 knew. ] want to get his
full pedigree"
Another feature Of the debate that
caused great laughter in the galleries
was the denunciation of the Republican
party by Senator Stone, and particular.
~ his caustic criticism Of Colonel
Roosevelt Stone was interrupted by
Senator Borah who asked: as the
senator going to present any proof that
Colonel Roosevelt Is a Republican,"
This seemed greatly to amuse the gal
leries. but it was also very amusing to
the senators. Senator Stone in reply
remarked that he did not know wheth-
err the colonel worked with the senator
from Idaho just now, adding. "He used
to. but now / think he works with the
senator from Pennsylvania"
This seemed very funny to the people
who heard it. and then PenrOse had a
thought. IF it would not be treason
for me to say it." said Penrose solemn
ly. perhaps Mr.. Wilson at his first
election was under great obligation to
Mr.. Roosevelt"

Senator B0rah of Idaho caused some
CONSERVATION in his party when he
took position antaganistic 10 the
majority of the Republicans regarding
the conduct of the war so far as Secre.
tary Baker was concerned. Borah was
also one of the Republicans who did
not vote 10 condemn the fuel order OF
Doctor Garfield. He explains his pU.
sltion by saying that the management
of the war is with the national admin.
isiration and not with the congress-
Furthermore congress. having passed
laws giving the president and those
to whom he might delegate Ii all the
power that he is now exercising, has
no reason to complain when that pow
er is used. No matter how drastic it
may be. congress has forfeited Its
right to make complaint.
Borah also says that congress In Its
last session recognized that the presi-
dent was solely vested with the re-
sponsibility of conducting the war and
that. having voted him all authority
to attempt TO curb the administration
by trying to Iegislate authority away
from those whom the president has Sc
lected 10 carry on the war. The Idaho
senator takes the position that con
gress must stand by what II has done.

Republicans are making a great eff
fort TO get together. While it is true
that the split which occurred in 1872
was healed 10 some extent in 1916. 1t
Is also fact that the ProgreSsives did
not give any guarantees that they
would remain with the party. Ii is
also true that even Theodore ROose-
Welt was not able to bring all of the
Bull Moose back INFO the Republican
fold. and the colonel himself did not
entirely abandon the Progressive par
". II has been known ever since the
campaign closed in 1916 that the col
onel has been feeling absolutely sure
there would have been a different re-
suit If he had been the nominee in
stead of Hughes.
Echoes of the recent visit of Colonel
Roosevelt 10 Washington are heard
about the national capital and ii APP
pears that the so-called "Old Guard"
made rather strenuous overtures to-
ward party harmony. Colonel loose-
welt seemed to be very much AZ home
with the men who did so much to de-
feat him In 1912, and also TO prevent
his nomination by the Republicans in
1916. One of the reports which circu-
lated after Roooseyelt's visit was 10
the effect that the Republicans will
start with a wide-open convention in
1920, allowing anybody 10 he candi-
date, which. of course, includes the
colonel If he desires to go before the
convention but they desire an under
standing with him that he will sup
port the nominee Of the convention II
he himself should be defeated.
The idea Of the "Old Guard" is that
Roosevelt can be defeated in the con-
vention for the nomination aud that
they will then be assured Of the Roose-
welt support for the ticket after 1t is

thought tsat for S1.9OO.OOO the weather

An Impossible Objection

The principal argument the objectors to the Work ncns Compensation law offer is that under it's terms employers. especially the great mining companies might discriminate against employees without depend cnts with DO families This is purely an assump- born Of that deporabe class hatred character isiic of that socalisc element which dreams of the tune when there shall be neither employers ploycs: when all production shall be carried under the state Happy that time shall be- it is not here now and will not be here for years to come Tho proposed legislation like all wisely proposed leg islaton is to meet conditions as they exist
 We speak of this objection it is honestly urged and it has been put forward by labor agators to whom the quarrcls between employer and employe constitute meat and drink and spending money. poi- teal prcferment and those other things to which dcmagogues aspire Nor de have reference to that class Of lawyers known as "ambuance chasers"
 Those who wish to approach this question honestly should not do so in hostile spirit They should assume that they themselves desrous of solution of their troubles, the employers themselves are sincere If they should however hold the worst opinion of employers as class and at the same time would exercise a little judgment it would seem to them that the employers could not afford to avail themselves of loop-hold of escape from liability for personal iriury the obectors think they have discovered
 It would be impossible for employer of 5000 or 1000 men or a much smaller number of men to ex- clude any considerable number of employees with de- pcndcuts. War conditions make it doubly difficult for him to do so.
 But if he could. and we feel that no employer ever thought of it, he would save but little. Com paratively few personal injury involve the death f the cmploye. In nine out of ten the employe survives injury which may be trflng or may be total In either he would become the beneficiary
 
 his compensation without delay, and without dvi- sion with an ambulance chaser"
 Besides. under the proposed law an employe sIcd would not be employe paid for" There would stiu have to be paid by the employer stated sum into the state fund of which compensation would be paid to other injured employees dead en- pioycs who leave dependents.
 The foregoing is as we have said in reply only to honest objectors. We have this to say as to dishonest ohecors: In the argument in the initiative and referendum publicity pamphlet against the act we find this:
 ITO enttle a beneficiary to compensation,
 dependency must be shown and the vicious
 terms of this law is such that a woman work
 We set against this misstatement the law itself which provides:
 ing in industry whose husband is serving his
 country in France. would have no compensa-
 ton paid for her death.",
 Compensation due to beneficiares shall
 bc paid to the surviving spouse if any, until
 his or her marriage. etc.
 Here is a plain intent deceive of which voters should take notice
