converting Of an extra session the is
gu es of women suffrage and the

latter gives a keynote as to the real
cause for the converting of a special

ers are not personally much interest
ed in this call from home during the

the legislature as a body will have
much to say in what is done in the
way of law enactments at this time.
1t is a foregone conclusion that what
is wanted will be decided by the

be for the majority to put through

Coarse and brutal are the only ad.
jectives that appositely describe the
language and demeanor of certain
Republican Senators when the Presi-

the subject of their discussion in the
public forum of the Senate. They are
not merely without sympathy and
consideration for the nations chief
executive as he lies in a bed of sick.
ness; they seemingly lack eve the
ordinary n Of decency.
One example of what is the typical
attitude Of this group of heartless
partisans has been furnished by
Senators Poindexter and Fall. The
former is the author of a request for
certain information which, he con
tended, was necessary to the Senate's
consideration of the so called Shan
tung amendment to the peace treaty.
When another Senator suggested that
it would not be in good taste to press
this request. in view OF the Presi-
dents condition, Senator Fall, IN

Democrat should move a recess "un.
til such time as the President is able
to resume the RESPONSE oilities of his
Office" Senator Moses, who sent to
a constituent alarming and erroneous
reports of the Presidents illness,
followed that act of improperly by
an unseemly joke at the expense of
the Presidents physician.
The climax of indecency was reach
ed-at least thus far-when a Re-
publican Senator challenged the
ge%nuineness Of the Presidents sigma
ture IN recent communications from
the White House to the Senate, anc
left clear the implication that some
of the chief executives assistants
had unlawfully affixed his..name. The
signature was "strained'' said these
partisans. making no allowance fol

feebled by the Presidents loss Of
