SENATE "IXSVRGENTS."
A WASHINGTON correspondent,
In a manifestly "Inspired" ar
ticle, says that there Is a pros
pect that on the convening of
.,the cent congress & band of "Insnr
gent" senators will dispute the con
trol of that body by Senator Aldrlch
and other "corporation" senators
who have been so long In control.
' It would not be surprising, Indeed,
to find some "Insurgent" senators
to Join La Follette In the next con
gress, but when one looks over the
list announced by this correspondent
as probable "Insurgents," hope of
the control of the senate being
wrested from the "corporation sen
ators" vanishes.
This correspondent mentions 26
senators as "corporation" men and
Aldrlch followers, and 19 as "in
surgents," but adds to this 19 seven
more to be elected next winter, as
suming that they will all be of the
"insurgent" order. Among the "in
S eurgents" to-be who are already
members he mentions Clapp and Nel
son of Minnesota, Dolllver of Iowa,
Gamble of South Dakota, Smoot and
Sutherland of Utah, Warren of
Wyoming, Piles of Washington, and
others, and wouldn't It make you
grin? Flint of California. The list
leads off with Beveridge, Borah.
Bourne,- Brown and Burkett
and Includes Nixon and Dix
on, and ' however It may
be as to these and some others
mentioned, it Is ludicrous to think
of Flint Joining in any insurgent
movement against the corporations.
Flint was the Southern Pacific's
nominee and choice. It is that and
allied corporations that he is there
to represent. Dolliver might in-
Burge mildly, and Beveridge con
Biderably, but if Clapp or several
others mentioned ever showed any
signs of rebellion we have never
heard of it, nor is there anything in
Mr. Piles' record to Indicate that he
Is dangerous to corporate interests.
Then this wonderfully imaginative
correspondent has a doubtful list,
among whom he puts Carter of
Montana, Bulkeley of Connecticut,
Dillingham of Vermont, Perkins of
California and one must giggle now
-Guggenheim of Colorado. Think
of Tom Carter, of eminently "sane
and safe" Perkins, of senators from
Vermont and Connecticut, states ut
terly under the rule of corporations
and Guggenheim, even Guggen
heim as possible "Insurgents!"
What a people-serving, trust-smashing
senate it will be Indeed, when
Carter and Guggenheim and Perkins
and Clapp and Flint and Bulkeley
and Dillingham and some others like
them have reformed it! Tom Car
ter! and Flint! and Guggenheim!
and corporation men from New
England! Verily, it might be better
to stick to Aldrlch and Rockefeller.
They don't pretend to be reformers
except on Sunday.
This sort of stuff won't deceive
anybody. The only way to get what
the people want out of the senate is
to elect Bryan and a Democratic
house, ind then possibly enough sen
ators would become sufficiently
scared at what, is going to-happen to
them If they don't change their tac- j
tics to consent to some legislation in '
the people's interest. Dut let the!
people pray to be delivered from suc
cessful Insurgency on the part of
Carter, and Bulkeley, and Dilling
ham, and Perkins and Flint and

R. T. T. GEER argues In his
paper, the Pendleton Tribune,
that it would not be dishon
orable In the leant for enough
Statement No. 1 Republicans to re
sign to defeat Chamberlain for sen
ator. Ho thinks this a proper means
of escape from the horrible act of
voting for a Democrat for senator, a
man chosen by the people, many
thousands of Republicans iih well as
Democrats. So lie wants a sufficient
ntiinlit r of these men "to resign no
that t heir, successors can be chosen
in November, when the people will
know who and what Chamberlain Is,
as they did not before. This last
silly pretense, by the way. Indicates
the hypocritical character of the
whole proposition. Not a voter in
the state knows Chamberlain's poll-
tics any better now, nor would know
It any better In November, than he
knew It last June.
Men'R concentlon of "honor" dif
fer. And men's degree and quality
of manhood differ. If a man Is a
coward, no conception of "honor"
can make him courageous. If he is
a skulker, his honor would not be
hurt by sneaking off the firing line
of duty If an opportunity occurred.
One would not expect a mirtt with u
chocqlaKr-eclalre backbone to be a
Roosevelt or a La Follette. If you
catch a shrimp, you don't expect him
to act and feel and taste like a moun
tain trout. The cheerful sound of a
whistle was never evolved from a
pig's tail. A mouse has Its quan
tum of life, but It Is not the life of
man. Speaking of "honor" la waste
of breath If one addresses a person
who Is by birth and practice a sneak.
So If Fome of these members re
sign, on the suggestion of Mr. (leer
that it will be highly "honorable" to
do so, manly men, men of moral
courage, upright, straightforward
men, such as have a ferllng of min
gled pity and contempt for the cow
ard, the sneak and the skulker, will
appraise their "honor" at It true
worth.
But one thing Is certain : The man
who would thus shirk a duty sought
by himself, and which he solemnly
engaged to perform, and assert that
his skulking Is "honorable," Is not
fit for dog-catcher In Praggleville,
and will be so regarded by all real,
honest men.

people's credulity Is unlimited.

THE PRIMARY LAW AND PARTY.
I
N WASHINGTON the new primary
law of that state is being criti
cised by some voters who say it
compels them to be partisan. In
Oregon the criticism is that the pri
mary law destroys parties. The
principle and most of the provisions
ruin tactics, including their purpose
ful Intention of destroying the pri
mary law if they can, are now the
chief menace to the party in the
state.
In their deliberate and studied
purpose to prevent the masses of the
party from taking a hand direct
through the primary law in the selec
tion of nominees for office, and in
their effort to take away from the
whole people of the state the right
to choose senator in congress, they,
including the ancient one in the tall
tower, are doing more than 10,000

Perhaps her sons grow un to honor
her and to lighten the declining vears
with tenderness and love; perhaps ono
of them makes money and Is able to
cive her manv comforts in her old ae-e
and perhaps they go off, one to sea and
one to tho mines and one to drift about
the world with no aim or purpose, nut
the mother heart holds them all; they
are hers always. And If nothing comes
in to lighten the toil, she still works
on. Uncomplainingly and faithfully,
without other recompense than seeing
the children grow up sturdily; without
thought for her own pleasure or con
venience. She is Just an average wom
an, born to work and bear son, and
then to die. And what has It amounted
to In the end?
Just this that tho average woman's
faithfulness is one of the otrong levers
that keeps the world going. Much to
do Is made about the lovely ladles for
whom men shoot each other but these
things do not belong to the average
woman's life. She had her .romance,
and the memory of It Is still fresh in
her heart. She loves only her husband,
and for him and her children she tolls.
She sees her duty snd doe It and when
her sons go out Into the world they
hive her example and her unswerving
faithfulness for a strong anchor to hold
them to the thing In hand.
An average woman's life It stands
for- these things. Courage, unselfish--ness,
devotion, simplicity, honor, duty
and work, always work. And that Is a
pretty good creed to live up to, and
something that may bo handed down as
a good heritage to her sons. All honor
to the average woman, and a benedic
tion upon the circus, which brings her
for one dsv Into touch with her kind
and gives respite from toll.
