OREGONTAN NEWS BtTRE AU. Wash
ington. March S. The new Senate,
which la to convene at noon Monday,
will be made up of 42 Republicans and
64 Democrats, a gain of one Repub
lican over the Senate which is about
o expire and a gain of two over the
Senate prior to the time three vacan
cies were filled at the recent election.
There will be 16 new faces in the
next Senate, not counting the three Sen
ators who took the oath at the begin
ning of the short session, December
4. but, reckoning them with the Sen
ators about to be sworn in, the new
Senate will find in its midst 19 men
who were not in the Senate prior to
the late November election.
Among the 16 Senators who will re
tire, to private life with the organiza
tion of the new Senate is none who
achieved any particular distinction dur
ing the past six years; few of the re
tiring Senators will be missed: several
will be missed, but will not be mourned.
None of the big men of the Senate
went down to defeat in November.
Democratic Lender Retires.
Most conspicuous among the retiring
Senators is Mr. Kern, of Indiana, con
spicuous merely because he has, for
four years, been the Democratic floor
leader and chairman of the Democratic
caucus. As a leader. Senator Hern de
cidedly failed to "make good." He
makes way for a Republican Harry
New.
On the Republcan side no retiring
Senator attained more notoriety than
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, who was
defeated for the nomination, and gives
way to Frank Kellogg, who won re
nown some years ago as a Government
trust-buster. Kellogg Is today the bet
ter known of the two men, and is prob
ably the most famous of all the men
about to enter upon senatorial ca
reers. Senator Clapp, In his day, has
made considerable trouble in Repub
lican ranks, for he. was a follower of
Roosevelt in 1912. and has been not
much of a Republican since then. He
wae, however, a decided disturbing
element in the Senate and is one of
those who will be missed, but not
Mourned.
Nor will there be any grief over the
departure of Senator Works, of Cali
fornia, a Senator now famous for his
multiplicity of swan songs and for his
Ill-tempered scolding speeches, deliv
ered at great length to empty chairs
and equally empty galleries.
Johnson Is Successor.
Senator Works makes way for Hiram
Johnson, too well known to need com
knent. The Senate is going to lose Senator
Sutherland, of Utah, fcnt it gains Sen
ator Sutherland from "West Virginia.
Both are Republicans. Sutherland of
Utah is to be succeeded by a Demo
crat. William II. King, once a Repre
sentative to Congress, and Sutherland
of West Virginia displaces a Democrat,
fcenator Chilton.
In point of downright ability. Senator
Sutherland, of Utah, ranks way above
every other Senator who is to retire
his legal attainments are of an order
that would guarantee him a place on
the Supreme Bench if a Republican
President should come into office.
Senator Clark, of Wyoming, is an
other able Senator and able lawyer, but
he had a faculty for "hiding his light
under a bushel," a fact that helped
bring about his defeat. In the retire
ment of Senator Clark, the West will
lose a good friend, for since the death
of the late Senator Heyburn. of Idaho,
there has been no man in the Senate
more obstinate In opposing the theories
of Gifford Pinchot than Senator Clark,
and none more forceful in the advocacy
of legislation which will turn loose the
resources of the West and open up an
era of development. Senator Clark gives
-ay to Governor Kendrlck, a Democrat.
Two Defeated by Wilson.
Two of the retiring Senators can
charge their defeat to the opposition of
the Administration, Senator Martine,
of New Jersey, and Senator O'Gorman,
of New York. It was Woodrow Wilson,
as Governor of New Jersey, who forced
the election of Martine to the Senate,
and It was Woodrow Wilson, as Presi
dent, six years later, who so opposed
Martine as to make certain the election
Of a Republican in hia stead.
Although Martine owed his election
to Wilson, he maintained that he was
not. for that reason, obliged to be a
puppet, to be voted by the President,
and it was the assertion of his inde
pendence that finally cost him his job.
But he had a good time being defeated,
for he had the great pleasure of beat
ing out Woodrow Wilson's candidate in
the New Jersey primaries, something
like 3 to I. The Democratic split and
the weakness of the President in his
own state affecting the entire Demo
cratic ticket brought about the election-of
a Republican Senator. Mr. Fre
linghuysen, .the man who can boast of
having the longest name on the new
Senate roll.
Senator Martine, during his six years
of service, earned the title of "clown
of the Senate," and he also made a rep
utation by championing the cause of
the "wets" as no other Senator did.
This was only another illustration of
Martine's fatal Independence.
O'Gorman Driven Ont.
Senator O'Gorman of New York, who
will be succeeded by Mr. Calder. Repub
lican, did not become a candidate for
re-election, but nevertheless he was
virtually driven out by the Admlnis-

tration. During the past four years.
Senator O'Gorman was given the cold
shoulder at the White House; he was
denied control of patronage, which In
stead was turned over to the Presi
dent's son-in-law. Secretary McAdoo.
and it was made plain to Mr. O'Gorman
that if he sought renomination, he
would be opposed by the Administra
tion. His treatment by the President
convinced Senator O'Gorman that the
fight was not worth making, and he
sidestepped to let ex-Chairman Mc
Combs make a try for the election The
result was a Republican victory.
Of the other retiring Senators there
Is little to be said. The names of
Bryan of Florida, Catron of New Mex
ico, Johnson of Maine, Lea of Tennes
see, Lippett of Rhode Island, Lee of
Maryland, and Oliver of Pennsylvania,
mean little to the public generally.
They are not men who have figured
prominently in the affairs of the Sen
ate, and they left no particular impress
upon the Government records, while
they were in office.
Mention should be made, however, of
the three new Senators, sworn in last
December, who will hold over Into the
next Congress. There is Senator Wat
son, of Indiana, who succeeded the re
nowned Tom Taggart, who in turn had
been appointed to fill temporarily ths
vacancy caused by the death of Sen
ator Shively. In Watson the Repub
licans gained one seat. Senator Fer
nald. Republican, was elected in Maine
to succeed the late Senator Burleigh,
and Senator Kirby was chosen In Ar
kansas to fill the unexpired term of
Senator Clarke.

ciating. Equitable Life Names Agents.
Announcement has been made by
President J. C. Cummins, of the Equit
able Life Insurance Company of Iowa,
of the appointment of Thomas J.
Binder and Henry V. Stahl as general
agents for the state of Oregon, with
offices in Portland. Mr. Binder dur
ing the past six and one-half years,
and Mr. Stahl during the past five
years, have been salesmen for the
Mutual Benefit Life and the North
western Mutual Life Insurance com
panies, respectively,
lican wheelhorses' In Washington that
the party must assume control of Con
gress. Until' the situation grew in
gravity the guiding heads in the party
were reluctant to assume responsibility
with President Wilson in the Executive
chair. The war situation has convinced
these same men it is imperative that
the Republicans organize the House.
A call has gone out to all Republicans
elected to the Sixty-fifth Congress to
be ready to reach Washington at least
five days ahead of the time the ex
pected special session of Congress is
set for by the President.
Medill McCormlck, who will sit In
the next Congress as a member-at-large
from Illinois. Is back fresh from
some time put In at the National Cap
itol, and persons who have talked with
him say the programme outlined Is
likely to carry.
Republican organization became more
certain with the death of Michael F.
Conry, of New York City, a Democrat,
which gives the Republican side one
majority in an out-and-out party align
ment. There' are five other members who
do not owe complete allegiance to
either major parties. The proposed
Republican-Progresslvo plan Is said to
appeal to this group of. five, who are
classified as Independents.
Democrats Hope for One.
The five Independents, so-called, are
Thomas D. Schall. of Minnesota, who
was elected as a Progressive; Whltmell
Pugh Martin, of Louisiana. who Is
classified as a Progressive-Protectionist;
Charles H. Randall, of California,
Prohibitionist, with Progressive and
Democratic leanings; Myer London, of
New York, Socialist, and A. T. Fuller,
Massachusetts, Independent.
The Democrats are said to be more
hopeful of Randall than any of the
others, but they have lost heart re
garding London, the Socialist.
Miss Jeanette Rankin, the woman
member from Montana, was elected as
a Republican and is counted to go along
with the Republican organization.

That hope, however, has disappeared
by what has happened in Congress. The
Senate began discussing the armed neu

noon. It took a recess from 1 o'clock
until 10 o'clock this morning. It had
been discussing the bill all day and all
evening. The bill will pass probably In
the eary hours of the morning, that is,
if La Follette, who slept a large part
of the day In his committee-room, does
not start a speech designed to serve
the filibustering purpose he has had In

In any case La Follette and those

Amazing Power of Bon-Opto
To Make Weak Eyes Strong
Doctor Says It Strengthens
Eyesight 50 per cent in One
Week's Time in Many Instances
A Free Prescription Yon Can Have
Killed and Use at Home.
Victims of eye strain and other eye
weaknesses and those who wear glasses,
will be glad to know that according to
Dr. Lewis there Is real hope and help
for them. Many whose eyes were fall
ing say they have had their eyes re
stored by this remarkable prescription
and many who once wore glasses say
they have thrown them away. One man
says, after using it: "I was almost
blind. Could not see to read at all. Now
I can read everything without my
glasses, and my eyes do not hurt any
more. At night they would pain dread
fully. Now they feel fine all the time.
It was like a miracle to me." A lady
who used it says: "The atmosphere
seemed hazy with or without glasses,
but after usinsr this DrescriDtlon for 16
days everything- seems clear. I can read
even line print without glasses." An
other who used it says: "I was both
ered with eye strain caused by over
worked, tired eyes, which Induced fierce
headaches. I have worn glasses for
several years, both for distance and
work, and without them I could not
read my own name on an envelope or
thi typewriting on the machine before
me. I can do both now and have dis
carded my long distance glasses alto
gether. I can count the fluttering leaves
on the trees across the street now,
which for several years have looked
like a dim green blur to me. I cannot
orraV"my iy at what U ha3 don
It is believed that thousands who
wear glasses can now discard them In a
reasonable time and multitudes more
will be able to strengthen their eyes so
as to be spared the trouble and expense
of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles
of many descriptions may be wonder
fully benefited- by the use of this pre
scription at home. Go to any active
drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto
tablets. Drop a Bon-Opto tablet In a
fourth of a Klass of water and let it
dissolve. With this liquid bathe the
eyes two to four times daily. You should
notice your eyes clear up perceptibly
right from the start, and inflammation
and redness will quickly disappear. If
your eyes bother you even a little It is
your dutj to take steps to save them
now before it Is too late. Many hope
lessly blind might have saved their
sight if they had cared for their eyes
in time.
Note: Another prominent Physician, to
whom the above article was submitted, said:
"Yes. the Bon-Opto prescription Is truly a
wonderful eye remedy. Its constituent In
gredients are well known to eminent eye
specialists and widely prescribed by them
I have used It very successfully In my own
practice on patients whose eyes were strained
through overwork or misfit classes. I can
hlohly recommend it In case of weak, watery
achln?. smarting. Itching, burning; eyes!
red lids, blurred vision or for eyes In
flamed from exposure to smoke, sun. dust
or wind. It is one of the very few prepa
rations I feel should be kept on hand for
regular use in almost every family." Bon
Opto. referred to above, is not a patent
medicine or a secret remedy. It is an ethi
cal preparation, the formula being printed
on the package. The manufacturers guar
antee It to strengthen eyesight 60 per cent
In one week's time in many Instances or
refund the money. It can be obtained from

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents Illness
and keeps us fit.
Just as COal. Whsn It tirm 1.....
behind a certain amount of incom
bustible material In the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken cay after
day leaves In the alimentary canal a
certain amount of Indigestible mate
rial, which If not completely eliminated
from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels.- From this mass of
left-over waste, toxins and ptomaine
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must bagin to take Inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate In It to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous day's
accumulation of poisons and toxins and
to keep the entire alimentary canal
clean, pure and. fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from the
drug store, and begin practicing inter
nal sanitation. Thia will cost very lit
tle, but is sufficient to .make anyone an
enthusiast on the subject.
Remember, inside bathing Is more
Important than outside bathing, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities Into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do. Just
as soap and hot water cleanses, sweet
ens and freshens the skin, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.
