Spencer at the Bridge.
(St. Louis Post-Dispatsh.) J


The late Senator Newberry, who
escaped the impending storm by
ignominious flight, has one unfalter-
ing defender: Senator Spencer stands
at the bridge shouting defiance at the
host Of calumnlators who dare be-
smirch the fair fame of the pure
patriot who didn't know that his sena-
torial seat had been bought and paid
for by his family, friends and agents.
Senator Spencer denounces the
campaign against Newberry as "out-
rageous," "insidious," "detestable," )"
ga plot" Newberry is patriot, he
says, and many of his calumniators
are not worthy to associate with him.
Among Newberry's "calumniators"
were 46 Republican Senators who
condoned his offense by seating him,
but accompanied their vote to seat
him with resolution stating that
"the expenditure of such excessive
sums in behalf of candidate, either
with or without his knowledge and
consent, being contrary to sound pub
lie policy, harmful to the honor and
dignity of tine Senate and dangero us
to the perpetuity of free Govern
ment, such expenditures are hereby
severely condemned and disapprov-
ed"
Senator Spencer himself voted for
this resolution of condemnation and
and conformation. Among his other
calumniators are majority of the
people of Michigan, who defeated his
defender, Townsend, and elected Fer
ris on platform pledging him to un
seat Newberry, the constituencies Of
Republican Senators who have been
retired on account of their Newberry
votes and undoubtedly an over
whelming majority of the American
people who regard his seating as q
disgrace to the Senate and a areproact
TO the nation, and Senator Spencer's
defense of him as courageous" and
''detestable +" The real plot against
patriotism was in the Senate, with
Senator Spencer as the arch con
spirator.
The Senator's shrieks are botf
amusing and pitiable-amusing be-
cause the Senator welding the white
wash brush in behalf of political cor
ruption against tidal wave of pub
lie condemnation is ludicrous figure
and pitiable because he displays al
utter lack of political moral sense.

The Passing of Newberry.
tst. Louis Post.pispatch.l

Senator Newberry has taken the
easiest way out of his unpleasant
predicament. He seeks the shelter of
private obscurity from the impending
storm over the villainy which seated
him, in the face of the corruption
which elected him, by resignipg from
the Senate.
His letter of resignation is as Of
fensive in tone as his original offense
was criminal in fact. He assumes a
pose of righteous martyrdom and en-
deavors to put all who condemned his
seating in the light of vicious persecu-
tors of patroit, when he knows, as
everyone else knows, that his avenues
of escape from punishment and re-
pudiation were legal technicalities
and partisan unscrhpulousness, which
ignored the actual facts proving the
corruption by which he obtained his
certificate of election. He added
fssehood to corruption.
Newberry has served the purpose
for which he was tolerated in the
Senate and finally seated as reward
by the old guard for value received
in votes. His vote enabled the Re-
publican party to organize and con-
troll the Senate when control was
necessary to the success of the con-
spiracy to undo Woodrow Wilson and
destroy his splendid plan to guaran-
tee world peace. Newberry was the
instrument by which the conspirators
utilized corruption to gain their par
tisan ends.
What of the Senators who shame
lessly made us of Newberry and his
corrupt methods of election? Why
shouldn't the men who voted the dis
graceful Senate resolution which
while condemning Newberry's offenst
as disgraceful and menace to gooc
government and American institu'
tions, vindicated and rewarded the
offender by seating him in the Sen.
ate, follow Newberry into private
life? Some have been retired by thu
votes of their constituents and doubt
less all will be'in good time, but The
designations of the remnant who re-
main would become them more thar
any act of their senatorial careers
The cloak of resignation would be al
attractive garment on our Senate
Spencer, who was the chosen and en-
, thusiastic leader of the WhiteWasl
brigade. He welded the brush witt

Protect the Quail.

To the People of Iron County-The
quail is great friend of the farmer
and deserves continued protection.
One cannot but notica the number of
quail this year. The few years. pro-
lection has been big foster in in
creasing the numbers. Although
hunters will trespass on land that is
posted and men trying to protect its
quail and. kill and frighten thought
lessly the valued friend of agriculture.
Potato bugs and even chinch bugs
have been found in it's crop, and
grasshoppers and other injurious in
sects compose large portion of its
bill Of fare. In summer quail feed
largely on insects and in the winter
| on weed seeds. We would not con-
slider destroying the robin, thrush or
wren, but each of them have faults
that the quail does not have. So,
hunters from the city that use pump
guns, does it pay to kill the one friend
of the farmer?

La Toilette and the Balance of Power in
Botn Houses.

Something like twenty five of the
men elected to the next House of
Representatives by what are ordinar-
lily Republican constituencies are re-
garded as progressive radicals or
radical-progressives-the exact shade
of difference being left to determine
tion by their alignments and per-
formances.
Half the number of these political
outlanders would be enough to jeo-
pardize Republican control of the
House and dash Republican hopes of
success in 1924. 1t is we'll within their
their power to defy the leaders in
Congress and the White House itself,
and to wreck the Republican party if
they are ignored or spurned in the
apportionment of committee appoint
ments.
For the most part, these radical
progressives or progressive radicals
whichever they are-feel bound by
ties of political allegiance or by iden-
tity Of policies and program to Sena-
tor La Toilette. This combination oi
formal alliance and sentimental at.
tachment practically bestows or
Senator La Toilette the leadership o.
this group, which is numerically
strong enough to constitute balance
of power between the Republicans
and the Democrats In the end
therefore, it will not be Senator Lodge
or Senator Watson in the Senate, o.
Speaker Gillette or Representative
Madden of Illinois, or any other Re
publican in either branch of Congress
but Bob La Toilette that will boss thu
job.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Ilhave a
gentleman friend in another city.
We have known each other for
three months. He has been here
to see me twice. Last time he
came two weeks ago. He asked
me how | would like to come to see
him and his folks, but he didn't set
any date. / have only heard from
him once. Would 1t be proper for
me to remind him of it?
| think the world of him An
other thing, his wife is dead and
he has two grown sons. He hasn't
asked me to marry him, .'ut he said
last time he was here we are in no
hurry. What does he mean by
that? AUBURN HAIR.
Do not remind the man that he
asked you to visit in his home. If
you do, he will think you are too
eager and running after him.
I do not know what he meant by
saying 1here was no hurry. Do not
expect marriage unless he makes
it very clear that that is what he
means.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am six
teen years old and ! am awfully
bashful. i cannot look nor talk to
anyone without blushing. The older
I grow the more l blush. Will you
please tell me how / can get rid of
it? BLONDY.
Do not humor yourself by stay
ing away from the company Of
other people. Whenever the OPP
portunity presents Itself, attend
parties and other social activities
where you will meet people. AS
you become interested in others
and accustomed to their company
you will forget yourself and will
blush less readily. If, however
you stay at home because of lack of
confidence in yourself you will
grow more and more bashful.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
girl sixteen years old, sophomore
in high school. | am crazy about
the boys and they seem to be
crazy about me, but they get over
it 50 soon whila / still go on liking
