, meet a wrong or a condition, either there is no filibuster or the people promptly and sternly rebuke those who are engaged in it and get what they desire after short delay. It is the stuff that slips through congress easily that rises up there after to vex the state-the stuff complacently consented to. Fili- busters, taking them by and large, have not wrought inyury to the peo- | pie.
 My reversal upon the limiting of debate as correct theory of gov ernment is no more remarkable than the change I have undergone with regard to executive sessions of the senate. ' remember, ot course, the waggish remark of Senator Thomas of Colorado, that !, the only accurate newspaper re- ports of the proceedings of the senate were those which had to | do with it's deliberations behind 1 closed doors. 1 started in with the theory that every man was a potential scoundrel and therefore ought to be driven into the open. Before I got through, I reached the conclusion that man is far more likely to be potential ego tist than a probable scoundrel. His egoism leads him, when he has taken stand, to stick to 1t long after he is uncertain about it. have nc doubt that if the Versailles treaty had been considered in ex- ecutive sessions as all treaties be- | fore it, some common ground on which to base ratification would have been found. The covenant of the League of Nations would have been modified and the United States today would be sitting at the table in Geneva doing what it could for the peace of the world. But ego ism took it's stand openly and. neither men nor angels can hope to
 overcome the vain-glory of man once he was told the people all about it.
 1 am back where the fathers were and in company about as l lonesome and dead. But I still be- lieve in representative government, in the duty of the people to scan the integrity and ability of their representatives and in the right of those representatives to talk as long as they please upon public questions in order to explain their conduct and enlighten the public mind. The world is governed too much even with the filibuster and the execu- tive session in vogue. When these disappear the last vestige of repre- <, sentative government will go with them.

Continuing, he said:
This country was born in a

the same time they saw the necessity
of defining the limits Of personal
liberty, and to that end they framed
a constitution and enacted laws.
Steadily these laws have multiplied

it has been sheIved since its introduce

Dead" King Says
President King was asked if the
measure would come before the
council. THAT ordinance is dead"
he said. More than two meetings

troduced and given TO the committee.
According to council rules this kills

Councilman Ray said he expects a
delegation to appear at the meeting
urging passage of the measure.
Urged by Shank and Chief
Since the last council meeting,
Mayor Shank and Police Chief Rik-
hof have asked that the ordinance be
apassed as a public safety measure.
Ray introduced the ordinance. When
informed it had been killed in COM
mittee, he remarked: We'll, I guess
another one can be introduced"
