Washington, May 31. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
United States senators ordinarily do
not exhibit their temper on the floor
by throwing the furniture around.
They take what oine observers thlnK
Is -excessive care to avoid showing
Just what they think, even in the thick
of -battle.
Not so Senator Sterling of South
Dakota, lie had raadu an earnest plea
for 20 minutes for an appropriation

revetment work at his home town.
Vermilion. He knew that an amend
ment he had' offered to the river and
harbor bill for this purpose could be
laid low by a point of order, and this
.made his pkea the more impassioned
He told in glowing terms of the
rich farm lands needing protection
rrom the cavorting torrents of the
Missouri, how his home town Itself is
threatened by a changing channel, how
places above r.nd belov- hav6 had ap
propriations in the past without spend
ing a cent themselves, and how he ha.l
provided in this amendment that local
interests put up $33,000 before govern
ment aid would be extended.
Senator Clarke of Arkansas, chair
man of tha commerce committee, after
threatening a point of order, yielded
to the pleading voice and .said he
would let the senate decide. It seemed
a vota would be taken when up rose
Senator Thomas of Colorado.
' Thomas, who is fighting the bill
all along the line, sarcastically re
marked that alnce such large sum
are deemed necessary for southern
creeks, he did not believe there would
ba enough for Vermilion, and made the
point of order himself. He was im
movable. Senator Sterling, who had resumed
hi aeat, rose to say the objection was
"unjustified." Then he seized the
pack .of an adjoining chair and gave
it a most undignified shove over the
carpeted floor.- Had there been a cat
in reach he would have kicked it. be
