important influence when his argu-

will be only because of the honor he

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 10.-By q
vote of 20 to ia, the Connecticut
senate last Tuesday afternoon refus-
ed TO ratify the federal prohibition
amendment, All those who voted
in favor of ratification are Republi-
cans.
The resolution now will go to the
house. II Is believed the house will
favor ratification by at least fifty
majority In event of such action, it
is probable that a committee on con-

Control of Upper Body in
Hands of Few Made I'm
possible Through Equable
Distribution and in Rep
resentative Branch the
Leaders to be Amenable
to Opinion ...-

Washington, Feb. 10.-Plans are
being rapidly completed by Republi-
can leaders in both the Senate and
House for making the control of
those bodies in the new Congress
less centralized than under Demo-
cratic rule and more amenable to
the influence of the general member
ship and of public opinion.
In the conservative Senate, which
from time immemorial has followed
tradition, a mild revolution has Just
been brought about in a twinkling
by the very youngest in point of SER
vice of the solons there and with
the grudging approval OF the older
heads. In this the lead has been
ktaken by Senator'S George Moses of
Asw Hampshire, and Fred Hale of
Maine, both reared in school of poll
itics which in the past has been
termed almost reactionary, the form
er protege of the late Jacob H.
Gallinger, and the latter a son Of
the late Eugene Hale.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, intro
duced a bill in the early part OF the
present session to do away with what
ne designated as the interlocking
committeeships among the senators.
Under this system members who
have served for many years have
been able to keep within their COM
mand the entire course of important

Rule To Be
More Free

legislation. One old and influential
Democratic senator is chairman of
one of the big committees and at
the same time is second in rank on
three others, so that he not only is
the most potent force in shaping
bills which pass through his own
committee but is as well conferee
in others on bills which have passed
both houses and are to be considered
for the elimination of differences in
conference. This strict application
.of the seniority principle has made
it possible for few men to run the
Senate end of the capitol.
Moses therefore worked out the
scheme and Hale presented it in the
meeting of the Republican senators
that each senator shall hereafter
have membership on two of the ma
jor committees, of which there are
ten. These are Agriculture, Appro-
priations, Commerce, Finance, Inter
state Commerce, Foreign Relations,
Judiciary, Military Affairs, Naval AT
fairs and Post Offices and Post
Roads. In addition each senator is
to have three other places, five in
all. Each of the older senators will
have prominent committee chair
|manship, but will not be allowed to
serve as a conferee on any other
'committee. Lenroot of Wisconsin;
Smoot, of Utah; Norris of Nebras-
ka; Cummins, of Iowa; Harding of
Ohio; Knox, of. Pennsylvania, and
Hale. Of Maine, have been named to
put the plan into full effect before
1.-THE beginning of the special session.
PREVENTS CORNER ON PLUMBs
AS the results Of this 1t is thought
it will not be possible for 1t to be
said that the Republican party in It's
return to power is to be held under
the direction of the senate of few
men, well on in years. who hail from
any particular section of the coun-
try. It is asserted by Moses and
Hale that one Of the principal causes
OF the defeat of the Democrats at
the last election was the aligarchic
cornering by the Southern hog
of comittee chairmanships
which enabled 1t to discriminate

and to deluge the South with appro-
priations for military environments
and munition plants.
In the House too, the Republicans
ARE preparing to do away with this
of the South, and to
make the speaker lessened force in
the making of laws. The great fight
over the Reed rules in the insurgen-
cy days under. Uncle Joe" Cannon
brought about the selection of a
Comittee on Committees which took
from the speaker the controlling in
fluence in naming the membership
of all committees and therefore in
largely determining the character of
the bills to be suppressed by or re-
ported favorably out of them. While
Uncle Joe" is now regarded as hav-
ding made an excellent speaker, and
while he was subject to removal at
any time by a majority in the House
there is no tendency on the part of
the Republicans to go back to the
old way of doing things.
Speaker Clark and the Democrats
with the South in control. have shap-
lei legislation with a view to their
own interests quite as much through
the small number of men on the
Committee on Committees to as
great an extent and therefore, II is
urged by the Republicans as much to
the detriment of the country as they
might have done had the speaker
the full power he had in former
years. To offset this the Republi-
cans have named a Steering Commit
tee composed OF Mann, of Illinois;
Moore. of Pennsylvania; Anderson,
iof Minnesota; Gillett, of Massachus-
etts, and Mondell, of Wyoming, A
similar committee will be continued
lduring the next, session, to confer
with the speaker regularly and to
see that the work on one committee
does not overlap that of any other.
1t will go beyond the functions OF
the Committee on Committees, which
selects the membership of all the
committees and of the Committee on
Rules, which frames the order of
business OF the House, and do what
Tits name indicates; steer bills on an
even course through the hands of
the members of the committees to
enactment
WILL ADVISE WITH MEMBERS
1t is likely that the new speaker
whoever he may be, will also have
about him, in addition to the COM
mittees mentioned, personal advisers
whom he will consult from time to
time in regards to methods and pro-
cedure. He will therefore be even
less OF a car than now. The great
office once held by Clay, Blaine, Car
Isle, Crisp, Reed and Cannon will
be alost entirely parliamentary
one. 1t will be exceedingly difficult
for the new speaker to either run
his party in the House or in any
way directly manipulate the making

DEAR TED.
l am very glad to have taken this
trip, although as usual I am bored
by the sea Everything has been
smooth as possible, and 1t has been
lovely having mother along 1t gives
me great pride in America to be
aboard this great battleship n to
see not only the material perfection
of the ship herself in engines, guns
and all arrangements, but the hne
quality Of the officers and crew. Have
you aver read Smollett's novel, l.
think Frederick Random" or
Humphrey Clinker," in which the
hero goes to sea? 1t gives me an
awful idea of what a floating hell OF
filth, disease, tyranny and cruelty a
warship was in those days. Now eV-
cry arrangement is as clean and
healthful as possible. The men can
battle and do battle as often as clean
illness requires. Their fare is excel
lent and they are as self-respecting
set as can be imagined l am no
great believer in the superiority OF
times past; and I have no question
that the officers and men of our navy
now are in point of fighting capacity
better than in the times of Drake and
Nelson: and morally and in physical
surroundings the advantage Is inh--
nitely in our favor.
It was delightful to have you two
or three days at Washington. Blessed
old fellow, you had a pretty hard
time in college this fall; but 1t can't
be helped. Ted; as M grows older

together The only thing to do is to
grin and bear 1t, to finch as little as
possible under the punishment, and
to keep pegging steadily away until
the luck turns.
