WYE SINCERELY hope that Senator Theodore
w Burton of Ohio RECEIVERS from his illness, for
he is a great statesman, one who measures up to the
highest traditions of the upper chamber.
A student all his life, he knows more about gov
eminent than does any other man in public life.
q II q
He received a wonderful vote of confidence when
he was a member of the national house of repre-
sentatives. In violation of a pledge given him, snap
Judgment was taken and a measure adopted to build
the Cleveland postofnce of material to which Burton
was opposed. Learning of the trick, Burton hurried
to the floor of the house, and when the chair ruled
against him, he appealed from the decision and the
house sustained hin appeal, a thing rarely accom-
pliShed.
TINE victorious oratory of Burton on the abe &c oc-
J. caSion reminds us Of another representative who
by brilliant oratorical strategy made the house Of rep
resentatives change its mind. This man was John
Allen of Mississippi, famous thirty years ago as
Private John"
He received this title from an incident in his cam
paign for the congressional nomination in Mississippi.
He opposed an ex-Confederate general, who in
their joint debate referred to his military service and
dwelt long on his former rank.
When Allen replied he granted all his opponent
had claimed, then referred to his own service as a
private in the Confederate army. Then he said: All
of you who were generals, vote for my opponent and
all of you who were privates vote for John Allen,
and needless to say Allen won.
Allen had a wonderful gift of humor and when
he took the floor the members always came IN from
the cloak rooms and the galleries filled.
His great ~oratorical triumph came when the seat
of the late Edward Carnack of Tennessee was con-
tested. The house committee decided against Car
mack and the house was expected to sustain the COM
mittee and unseat the fiery Tennesseean.
~ARMAC thought his case was hopeless and de-
~ voted his speech entirely to a bitter arraignment
of the committee and the house for the action which
he felt sure it was going to take against him and when
he sat down he killed his last chance.
Then Private John Allen arose to make the last
speech for Carmack.
He started with some humorous tale to get the at
tention of the house and wash away the bitter results
of Carmack's speech.
With the superb shovmanship Of an artist he went
on, winning the interest, then the sympathy Of the
house and finally he closed with an appeal for fair
play which was irresistible.
The house was carried by his speech and Carmack
was given his seat.
One day some friends saw Private John Allen
walking up Pennsylvania avenue, the picture of de-
spair, and one of them accosted him and asked the
cause of the depression.
Very sadly Allen informed his friends that the
previous night he had lost $4,000 at poker.
Ten thousand dollars!" exclaimed his friend.
YES" rejoined Allen, and the worst of it is that
five dollars of it was cash"

A Real Contribution

~ of tho state owe a debt to the League
1uo,an voters for bringing, at this time, outstand-
ing authorities on the theory Of government 10 us
cuss the problems of permanent progress IN
democracy. ~
Tbeee women show an unquenchable optimism
when they turn from disappointing rebutts to a STUDY
of methods by which the government may De
brought closer to the people.
one of the problems is that OF a new constitution
The last legislature provided for a ballot upon THIS
question and two years hence the people VIII pass
upon the question. ID,
The women Of this league, realizing the futility OF
depending upon personalities that change Win IhS
hour are devoting themselves to principles. They be-
lieye that the writing of a new constitution may heip
in putting those principles into operation.
II NAV be discovered that the real problem Is TO
write back into a new constitution what the founders
~ the government believed they had placed in the
original document. 1t may be discovered that the
twisting of meanings by the supreme court during the
long wears of test and tribulaton has made the pres
emit document something entirely different than the
bulwark of liberties for which it was designed.
One of the other problems is that of city govern
rent. The experiences have been distressing, There
Is a demand for nome rule in which the people OF each
community NAV design a government best fitted their
needs and the legislature will no longer act as
guardian or slave driver for each city.
The big point, of course, is that the women OF the
league are planning not for a campaign but for the
future. They attack the problem from a new angle.
They ask for real answers, not s~edativeS.
If there is need of o new constitution, they will
know why it is needed. If there is need of home rule
for cities, they will have the reason.
OF course, every one knows the reason for a very
speedy amendment to the supreme court which IN
terprets the constitution.
The meetings start tomorrow at the Columbia Club

LO, the Poor Lobbyist
clusion.

It is going to be a hard winter for lobbyists. AT
FIRST they were not much frightened by the talk OF
senatorial investigation That talk was old stuff; it
never got anywhere Anyway, if there was to be an
inquiry, the old guard control would see that 1t was
conducted in seemly fashion and stopped before the
white vests of the big boys got s%pattered.
But something slipped. Indeed, the whole side Of
the senate fell out.
What with that man Shearer and his armament
employers fighting over propaganda pay, and the
Grundy tariff bill growing bigger and bigger, the
public got an eye full of the lobbying mysteries
usually reserved for insiders
After that there was no holding the Democrats and
Progressives. The old Caraway resolution was plucked
out of the waste-basket. BY that time there had
been so much written about the Shearers and the
Grundys, that the best back-slapping senator could
not explain a pro-lobby vote to the folk back home
so the investigation was carried unanimously.
Right there a fatal mistake was made by the old
guard. That resolution went-of all places-to George
Norris, chairman of the judiciary committee, to pick
the committee of inquiry. Norris is a queer sort Of
senator, who is just as apt to turn up fighting on
the Democratic side or by himself as on the Republic
an side. You never can tell what he may do-except,
that he will take the peoples side.
When they let George do it, he did his worst-or
best, according to whether you are looking from the
outside or the inside of the lobby. He chose as a
committee two Democrats, Caraway and Tom Walsh
of Teapot Dome probe fame, and two insurgents,
Borah and Blaine; to which he added, by way of
contrast, a lone old guard representative, Robinson
of Indiana.
Caraway and Blaine can ask enough embarrassing
questions to make the average lobbyist reach for
smelling salts, and Borah and Walsh can handle
the Slickers.
When the snorting Shearer and the smooth
Schwab did their tricks, the other senate committee
got so dizzy watching the pea-"now you see it, now
you %dont"-that the hand sometimes was quicker than
the eye.
But these gentry and their kind will have to move
fast to get by the committee Norris has appointed.
