WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Ga
Democracy is struggling for foothald
in the United States senate.
Autocracy rules in the senate
through the "big four" Boies Pen
rose. of Pennsylvania; Henry Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts,; Francis f..
Warren, of Wyoming, and Reed
Smoot, of Utah.
Penrose is the king; Lodge, War
rem and Smoot, are, so to speak, his
crown princes. or to be palmer, his
right-hand men.
These four will rule the United
States senate beginning March 4
next, unless the senate is made safe
for democracy"-not the party, but
the principle.
Norris Is Leading Forces
1t is to overthrow this autocracy
that Senator Norris, Republican, OF
Nebraska, introduced his resolution
to abolish the seniority rule so far as
il affects the eight most important
committees. appropriations, finance,
military affairs, naval affairs, Judicl-
airy, interstate commerce, foreign re-
lations and pOStoffices and postroads.
Norris. as member of the house Of
representative, led the Progressive
fight which scotched Cannonism in
the congress and which gave birth to
RooSeveltS Progressive party. He
would make il impossible for a sem
ator who is chairman of one OF these
important committees to serve on
any other of the eight. That would
make it less easy to control senate
legislation.
"As ii now works" Norris explain
ed, there is a sort of interlocking dt-
rectorate in the senate. The result

The big committees will be divided
up among Penrose, Lodge, Smoot and

Penrose will he chairman of the
finance, naval affairs, pOstOffices and

the department of state committees.
Also, he will be on the immigration
and education and labor committees.
Lodge will head the foreign rela-
tions committee, and will be on the

Smoot will be chairman of the pub
lie lands, printing and expenses OF

Now that the emergency need for
bottoms has been relieved to SoT1e
extent, it is pointed out that unless
yards in the southeast can show
that it is more economical to build
wooden ships than composite or steal
vessels, yards more accessible to iron
mines possibly may be favored in
the future.
Whether wooden ships will be built
in this district after the hulls now
under construction are completed is
not known. 1t was unofficially an
nounced sometime ago that a num-
Der of pet yards would be elm

contracts have been cancelled.
There are Q yards in the Fourth
district constructing wooden ships.
