DAWES, SWORN IN,
LAUNCHES ATTACK
ON SENATE RULES
Amazes Members by Opening
Drive Against Unlimited

NEW SENATE CALLED
IN SPECIAL SESSION
Vice Presidents Remarks Concern.
ing Need for Reforms in Procedure
Find Considerable Support.

Vice President Charles G. Dawes
took the oath of Office in the Senate
chamber today just before the final
adjournment OF the Sixty-eighth
Congress, and the new Senate of the
Sixty-ninth Congress was imme-
diately convened in special session.
In his inaugural address Vice
President Dawes, in characteristic
vigor, launched an attack on the
Senate rules. which make it impos-
sible at times for that body to func-
ton.
Scarcely had he finished taking
the oath of Office in the Senate
chamber when the Vice President
waded into the rule permitting un-
limited debate The country, he
said, demanded a change in this
rule, which now enables Senator
or group of Senators to prevent leg
islation desired by the people and
by a majority of the Senate itself.
He urged the Senator'S to give the
matter their earnest consideration.
Senators Amazed by Speed.
Vice President Dawes address was
particularly pointed because the old
Congress had just adjourned without
acting upon a long list of important
measures, due in part to flibustering
tactics in the Senate.
Senators who have guarded for
years the privilege Of unlimited de-
bate listened with amazement to Mr..
Dawes attack upon this cherished
rule 1t was noticeable that the Vice
Presidents structures on the Senate
rules drew loud applause from the
galleries. but that the Senate itself
took little part in this applause. There
are members of the Senate, however
who heartily agree with the new Vice
President and who will give him sup
port in his efforts to institute q re-
form so that legislation can be
handled more efficiently.
The House of Representatives, ad-
journing shortly before mono today,
proceeded with formality to the Sem
ate chamber, where, in the presence
of the President of the United States,
hoth houses OF Congress, tne supreme
Court, the diplomatic corps and high
officials of the Government, Vice
President Charles G. Dawes took the
oath of ofice, administered by Sena-
tor Cummins of Iowa, President pro
tempore.
House Members Late.
Owing to the fact that the members
of the House were late in arriving at
the chamber, all of which necessi-
tated a delay in the entry of the Su-
preme Court, members OF the diplo-
matte corps and others, it was neces
sary three times TO set the Senate
clock back so that IL would not be

the Senate must adjourn. When

laughter rose from the entire as
semblage and he was forced to rap
for order.

JUDIClOUS EXERCISE OF
PARpONING

Although thoroughly convinced
that the pardoning Of criminals in
this country Is a practice that is be-
ing abused and tends to encourage
rather than restrict crime. we feel
sure that the pardoning Of those
whose testimony made it possible to
break up a formidable rum ring in
this State was a judicious exercise
Of the pardon prerogative.
There would have been glee in the
hearts of the booze smugglers had
this pardon been denied. Collision,
is essential to bootlegging in greater
degree than in many other crimes.
The uncertainty respecting the MEM
Der of the gang, who may find 1t to
his interest to "squeal" on the others,
is an ever present one. 1t should be
encouraged rather than discourage
