Patterson, who ran well behind the
local ticket in st. Louis, insisted the
strategy of st. Louis candidates in
basing the campaign on local issues
and refraining from criticism of Pres
ident Roosevelt, weakened the ticket
in rural Missouri.
1--WE now hear the same demand
that follows every defeat" Patterson
said-"that the Republican party be
reorganized and a new set of prin-
ciples espoused.
This cry does not come from those
whose Republicanism has been ortho-
dox, but from those who have not sin
cerely supported Republicanism in the

sITY OF PUTTING THAT BILL ON THE STAT
UTE BOOKS BEFORE CONGRESS ADJ0URNs.
The ordering Of this reappraisal is direct result of
the campaign for the Mcleod bill and whatever results
may flow from it will be welcomed by those who were
duped by their Government into leaving their funds in
banks which the Government knew to be unsound
BUT AT BEST THE ACTION WHICH THE
GOVERNMENT NOW TAKES IS SIMPLY PAL
LIATIVE MEASURE.
IT DOES NOT REACH THE ROOT OF THE DIFF

Will Be Rewarded

both the public interest, which,
as national legislator he takes
oath to serve, if at the same
time he is accepting fees to
serve a special or private inter
est as an attorney.
Argument Logical
To the brief debate that fol-
lowed the vote of the Vice Presi.
dent which put the Borah bill
before the Senate, a notable
contribution was made by Sen
ator Logan of Kentucky. He
served his State as chief justice
before coming to the Senate.
His argument in support Of the
bill was straightforward, logical
and sincere. It was in this
wise:
''NO one need tell me that,
when a Senator represents some
great railroad company, and .
question affecting that railroad
company comes before the
United States Senate, the rail-
road company, through its rep
resentatives, does not approach
the Senator more as client to .
lawyer than as to a United
States Senator representing the
whole people.
81 suspect I am, so far as
money and property are con-
cerned, the poorest man in the
Senate. 1 am rich in a good
many other respects which I
think are worth while, and I do
not care much about these other
matters. But I would find some
way Of making living without
accepting fees from those who
have business with the Congress
of the United States or I would
60 home and resign and repre-
sent them as a private citizen"
There would be a number Of
compulsory retirementS from
both Houses at the coming eIec-
tions if the list of clients which
certain Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress serve as at
torneys should be broadcast to
the public in the meantime.
President Roosevelt is making
headway in Kidding the national
committee Of his party Of law
yers who practice before the
various agencies Of the Govern
ment. Public sentiment sup
ports the Presidents leadership
in this direction.
And the leadership of Vice
President Garner, Senator Bo-
rah and Senator Logan to apply
the same purge to both Houses
of Congress will command pub
lie support North, East. South
and West when the issue be-
comes crystal clear to the peo-
pie Of the several States and
congressional districts of the
Union.
''No man can serve two mas
ters" and no member Of either
House of Congress can serve
with equal fidelity both the pub
lie interest and special interests
at one and the same time.
