The natural incapacity of PORTER
J. McCUMREH as public leader and
a legislative achiever, together with
his political greed as bonus vote
seeker, has brought Republican af-
fairs in the United States Senate to
a dangerous pass.
Under the unremitting drives of
able and adroit legislators like the
Democratic SIMMONS and the Demo
cratic UNDERWOOD against the tariff
measure on the one hand and on the
other the fiery demands of the Demo-
cratic Senator WALSH that the bonus
bill be forced to vote, Republican
majority control becomes pitifui
farce and tho Senate proceedings re-
semble riot.
Senator WALSH might move to sup
plant the tariff with the bonus fifty
times day and compel vote on his
motion every time without ever get
ting the tariff put aside for the bonus.
Senator WALSH might mire the tariff
bill inextricably in legislative mud
without aver bringing the bonus raid
ers and the national treasury to closer
quarters. But every time Senator
WALSH with his bonus tactics sue
ceeds in throwing the Senate into
confusion and uproar over the bonus
situation when the Senate's business
is to be amending and passing tariff
schedules he makes a laughing stock
of the Republican majority in the
Senate and Senator WALSH knows lie
does. He imperils the Administra
tion's whole program and he knows
he does. That is why he does it.
The Republican majority in Con-
gress cannot be necessarily made a
laughing stock of by the Democratic
minority and retain either the re-
spect or the support of the Ameri-
can people. The Republican major
ity in Congress cannot permit the
legislative measures that are needed
by President HARDING to be ham
strung by the Democratic minority
without working more havoc upon its
own Republican party than the Dem
ocratic party as such ever yet has
been abls to work upon 1t.
This bonus frenzy on the part OF
PORTER ]. McCUMBER has brough.
the majority control OF the United
States Senate to sad days.

1t is apparent. then, that having the

be introduced to account for time dis

Once, In This Place

From the New Witness.
Once, In this place, where these twin
willows look
Like little bright princesses every
spring,
A tail thin. lad would come along the
brook
And throw a stone. and make shin
ing ring.
Or he would watch small fishes lift their
lips
To take sweet mouthfuls of the upper
air:
Or with his fingers twine long rushy
whips
And whistle this and that. and have
no care.
But now he comes no more. All has
he known
In all his proud proceedings such sure
case
AS when lie walked light hearted and
alone
Once. in this place, under these will
low trees?

Which but few days since stood green

So I look on my fire scourged heart

And see its blossoms slnged and

Scarce one slight flower permitted to

Full we'll I know that springs eternal

new life start.
And Love may plant new blossoms In

Yet nothing can be ever quite the same.

Protecting Checks.
An Advice to Be Sent to the Bank
Advocated.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Recently
you printed a letter from one of your
correspondents wherein he advocated
A system for the protection of checks
from forgery and alteration.
1t seems TO me that his plan Is some
what defective in that II would be we'll
nigh impossible for a business concern
to advise It's bank OF a certain max
imum amount for which their checks
would be drawn. For instance, an op-
portunity TO make advantageous pur-
chases may cali for immediate outlays
OF extraordinarily large payments. do
not think 1t practicable that these pay
ments be made by plural checks in order
to keep the amounts within the limit
the bank is authorized to pay.
In my opinion a more direct and ex-
act protection may be secured by hav-
ing the drawer of check Immediately

inform the bank of the amount TO be
paid on each particular check. or
course l realize that II would be bother
some in the case of man, individuals.
But 1t would appear that business con-
Germs would be able to forward these
advices to their banks daily without
being put to very much time. labor or
expense.
The check books could be prepared in
such form as to permit of an addi-
tional stub being attached to the end
of each check. bearing like number and

Against the Seniority Rule Evil.

The Democrats in Congress are
wise for the sake of themselves as
well as the country to be giving con-
sideration to formal party declare-
ton against the long discredited
seniority rule. AS they are a minor
ity of both the legislative houses.
and a slim minority at that, their
action could not have any immediate
effect upon the present practice.
Nevertheless, II they hope to regain
control of the House or the Senate,
or both, they could not be In better
business now than paving the way
for that much needed reform.
Until within recent years the
record of the Democratic party,
on the rare occasions since the
civil war when it has been in full
control of Congress, has been more
gravely marred than the Repub-
lican record by the seniority rule.
This came about through the fact
that no Republican landslides could
tear away any part of the Solid South,
from certain States and districts of
which Democratic members Of Con-
gress returned to Washington year
after year, generation after genera
ton, regardless of their capacity and
deserts. At the same time the ablest
and most valuable Democratic men,
ber that hailed from the North or
West was liable to disappear after
any political shakeup.
1t was in this way, when WOODROW
WILSON and his party captured the
executive and the legislative branches
of the Government, that the senior
ity rule manned virtually every
committee Of any account in Con-
gress with a chairman from the
solidest zone Of the Solid South. This
was not merely cause of great dis
satisfaction to the Democrats Of the
rest of the country, who in fact had
elected Mr.. WILSON and the Demo-
cratic Congress; 1t was an injury to
the Democratic Government to have
vastly important committees like
Foreign Relations in the Senate and
the Ways and Means in the House
fall into such hands as they did fall
into purely through the mischievous
workings of the seniority rule.
There were outstanding national
figures among the Congress Demo-
Gratis who never got look In on the
real work of making laws during the
Wilson Administrations because they
were shut out by the seniority rule.
There were Democratic victims OF this
rule from the South as we'll as from
the North because some old political
hack had begun drifting back to
Congress session after session from
the rock-ribbed Democratic districts
or States before another Democratic
member of Congress capable of being
a statesman of the highest order even
was born.
President WILSON'S own policies
we're enough OF a party splitting
force, as 1t developed, to turn tie
Government back to the Republicans.
But II Mr.. WILSON had not been so
unsuccessful with his League of Ma
tions the plight OF the Democratic

On Aylesford Bridge.

From Aylesford Bridge dropped g
stone
That at the cromlech plucked down.
And as the rippled circles shone.
An echo from the tower blown
Found echo in the town.
Quick hosts along the hill slopes ran.
Skin clad and shaking weapons rude;
AS through mist seemed to scan
The threatening musters of each clan
Whose cries broke solitude.
The British earle strove breast to breas'
Against the Saxon in his pride.
And fierce and bloody was the test
As death came laughing to the feast,
And bloody, Medway's tide.
The vision passed before the sun
That on the quiet Kent side shone.
And gazing on the Medway dun.
7 still could see faint ripples run
Where I had cast the stone.

The Farmers Happy Wife.

In response to the question, do you
want your daughter to marry a
farmer?" addressed by Minnesota
agricultural publication to farmers
wives all over the country, 1000 re-
plies were received. OF these $500,
over "a per cent, were in the affirma-
tive. Only 4S0 farm women out of
the 1000 said they were dissatisfied
with their lot.
If the vote had been taken twenty
five years ago the result might have
been different. The changes that
have come over rural life within the
last quarter century are remarkable.
Farm life, as 1t was within the
memory of those now in middle age,
is practically non-existent. The lone
illness, the isolation, the remoteness
from the worlds doings are gone.
Dearth of household conveniences,
which characterized the farm as con.
trasted with the city home, has been
overcome.
Running water, bathtubs, electric
lights, electric labor saving devices OF
all sorts, are fast becoming common
place in the homes of even moderately
we'll to do farmers. The telephone
brings the farmers wife into instant
contact with her neighbors for miles
around, with the markets and with
the entire country for that matter.
A trolley line to the city Is not far
away from her door. The automobila
carries the farmers wife and her chill
dren in few hours on journeys that
not long ago would have required
days. Good and constantly improv-
ing schools are near at hand. The
phonograph is ready at all times to
oblige with operatic selections by the
best artists, or with jazz, according
to tastes. And nowadays there is
the radio. Sermons, Lectures, crop
reports, market reports, baseball
scores and music, vocal and instru-
mental. from broadcasting stations
hundreds of miles away, are available
in the remotest farmhouse just by
adjusting the receiver.
Thus farm and city and the Whole
great pulsating world are all linked
up together. The city and the farm
home are on an equality in many re-
spects. But the farm family has
advantages that are disclosed in
the answers elected from the leve;
headed American farm women. Con-
centration of the family and
STRENGTHENING of the family ties are
cited by one writer. when you
marry a farmer" a Massachusetts,
woman writes, "your husband is
your own" AS for the farmers wife
being a drudge, a Missouri woman
explodes that notion with the spir-
tied comment that "the woman who
would be a drudge on farm would
be a drudge wherever you put her"
Good sense, insight and wit mark
the letters from the farmers wives.
The QUESTIONABLE has brought
forth an exhibit worth having. 1t
warrants hope that the movement
from farm to city may be checked
under the new farm life conditions,
and that a movement from city to
farm may begin. 1t establishes one
thing beyond controversy: the men,
tality of the American farmers wife
rests on a bedrock foundation Of
sound common sense and true wom-
anhood.
