BOrah's Views Differ
This brought Senator Borah, Repub-

sertion that the fundamental basis on
which this Government rests is repre-
sentative government and not govern
ment by referendum. He said the peo-
pie have a way of expressing their
opinions by retiring men from public
office. Senator Borah took the posi-
tion that the establishment of prece-
dent of holding referendums to aScer-
tain the popular will on question
would make members of the Senate
mere clerks to record the result OF a
referendum instead of exercising their
judgment.
The discussion over the Pennsyl-

HOUSE PASSES BILL
FOR NAVY OFFICERS
EQUALIZATION of Promotion
Provided as Recommended
by Department.

The House today passed the bill rec
commended by the Navy Department
providing for equalization of promo
tion of officers of the staff corps of the
Navy with officers of the line.
The purpose of this bill is to pro-
vide, first, that staff Icorps officers
shall have the same promotion or the
same opportunity for promotion as Off
GERS of their own kind in the line: sec
ond, that qualified staff corps officers
may be advanced at the same time as
their qualified contemporaries in the
line are promoted. and, third, that
This parity of opportunity and penalty
shall be maintained from the date
such staff corps officers enter the serv-
ice to the date of separation there
from.
To meet conditions as they exist
at the present time the bill provides
that staff corps officers of any corps
wherein promotion has been more
rapid than promotion in the line shall
mark time in their present position
and rank until their running mates IN
the line or line contemporaries have
overtaken them, and that hereafter
thew shall become eligible for promo
promoted.
1t Immediately grants to all staff
officers in those corps wherein pro
motion has Jagged behind the line
the same opportunity for immediate
promotion as has alreday been en-
ioyed by their contemporaries or run
ming mates of the line.
This bill places all officers of the
Navy, whether of line or staff. in the
same promotion status. 1t abolishes
all numbers or percentages in grades
or ranks In the Staff Corps, except
in the grade of rear admiral. 1t does
not change the present authorized to-
tai allowance of officers in any corps
and 1t should remove the friction and
discomfort due to inequality of promo
ton as between the various corps and
the line.
The estimated cost of this legislation
is given in the Navy Department let
ter of transmittal as $4,000 year
until 1895, when the cost will be re-
duced to $4,000 per year thereafter.

Phrases About Equal Suffrage

Of the reforms in politics promised by

ut is time to quit exchanging
pretty compliments about women in
politics and to get to work to purify

marks were greeted with cheers.
Admitting that friends of good

because the political plane had not
been lifted materially by the entrance
of women, the mayor called attention
to reported testimony by Warden

tenttary before a Cook County grand
jury. If his statements about corrup-
ton and misgovernment at the prison
