OUK SENATE IS KOILED
TI,IE Uniti'd Stales senate voted in executive session to
confirm the appointment of Irvine Lenroot to a place on
j the court of customs claims and tried to keep the detailed
; void a secret. There was a leak. Some member of the sen-
ate gave the vote to the United Press and it was sent over
the wires to newspapers over the country.
; Uproar in the sonale resulted. That august body bar
; red all pres. representatives from the senate floor. Hot
. denunciations of correspondents, newspapers and all the
'. worlfit of the press were hurled by enraged senators. There
! was a charge that the vote as sent abroad was erroneous
' but-when offer!; was made to read the correct vote into the
record and thus set straight the information before the pub
Mic -tfie movement was blocked. Now the senate has sum
. moned the head of the news bureau which sent out the vote
: and-purposes to make him tell who gave him the information
I that he used. Presumably the senate intends to see him put
; in jail, like Sinclair, if he refuses.
What purpose is to be served by the senate in voting
secretly on confirmations? The only argument that any-
one seems able to advance for it is that it has often been
done. Why do senators object to standing up and being
.' counted in so simple a matter as confirmation of an appoint
ment made by the President? Is anybody ashamed of Len
;root? If so why? Both Oregon senators voted for his con
firmation. One of them, Senator Steiwer, was active later
in blocking publicity of the vote.
It i3 nothing new for proceedings of executive sessions
of the senate to become public. Senators themselves always
'tell Jtjboui them and newspapers print them freely when they
Jare worth printing. Why then all the excitement about the
"Lenroot matter?
The answer to pll this of course is that the appointment
."of Ix-nroot has been assailed as unfit. Lenroot, an ex-senator
-defeated in Wisconsin, subsequently lobbied against the
. Walsh resolution for investigation of the power interests.
'.He accepted a largo fee for his services and his activities
: were quite open. A majority of the senators did not think
this, fact disqualified him and they voted to confirm him.
But they lacked the courage of their convictions. They
' were afraid of public sentiment. So they tried to make a
goat of b news correspondent. It is a piffling and unworthy
r.k i . .....
JUI Bc-iiiiiurs to engage in. -Aim what is more
serious it constitutes an assault upon the liberty of the
press.

dorsed the movement for a new
school building Saturday by voting
67 to 16 in favor of the bond issue

budget increase of more than six

Creek Mail.
This approval opens the way for
securing a new school building. The
celiool board has begun action by
issuing a call for bids for building
the new structure In accordance
with plans heretofore accepted by
the said school board. Bids must

was the only thing that could well

THE Model T was so strongly and sturdily built that it
is still rendering reliable, economical service to motor

cars can be put in shape for two, three and five more
years of use at very small cost.
So that you may have this work done economically
and satisfactorily, the Ford Motor Company is still de
voting a considerable section of its plants to tbe manu
facture of Mode! T parts. It will continue to do so as
long as they are needed by Model T owners. The follow
