Dawes and the Senate
To use an old New England phrase, Vice-Fresidcnt Dawes
has received his "come-up-ance" for hia inaugural tirade
scoring the senate for preserving archaic rules that delayed
transaction of business and for his ruthless disregard of
senate customs and courtesies. The punishment took the
form of a satirical resolution adopted by unanimous consent
correcting the "blunders and mistakes" Mr. Dawes made
when he unceremoniously cast aside the rules of the senate
and ignored "red-tape" by taking short-cuts in swearing-in
24 members en bloc, "herding" them in a group, and then
"shooing" them out after taking the oath before signing the
roll as prescribed by law.
There is a good deal of the upstart and smart-alec ubout
Mr. Dawes. His hcll-n-Maria lecture extenuating war prof
iteering, his political "pewit" castigation of politicians dur
ing the campaign, and his scolding of United States senators
and shaking his finger at them as though a bunch of school
boys, were all of the same order as smart and captious as
ungracious and ill-bred.
Senate rules are unquestionably archaic and could be
amended perhaps to advantage. But the rules that apply to
boards of directors of Mr. Dawes banks and trust companies,
do not apply to a popular deliberative body like the senate
whose policy has always been to hear the protest of minorities
as well as the desires of majorities. Speed is not the most
desirable thing in the world when legislation affecting the
welfare of the people and the destiny of the nation is at stake
and the much abused filibuster has been more beneficial than
detrimental, by killing or delaying vicious legislation.
The house of representatives has fallen to it3 present low
level, because its rules have been amended as Mr. Dawes
desires the senate's to be, to "expedite" business. As a result,
the gag has supplanted debate, the protest of minorities
remains unheard, and the house is no longer a truly deliberate
body but functions as a machine controlled by autocrats,
which railroads through legislation without attempt at con
sideration to ruthlessly enforce the will of the majority. It
has been supplanted as a popular body by the senate, which
still reflects public opinion, and sustains the rights of minor
ities, and is therefore the safeguard of democracy.
It is to be hoped that the senate disregards Mr. Dawes'
desires, which it probably will, refuses to apply the gag and
continues practically unlimited debate upon vital subjects,
for the more they are discussed the more the public know
about them and there is nothing like the sunlight of publicity
as an anti-septic for corruption in government.
Intolerance Defeated
That toleration is supplanting the bigotry of the Klan even
in the south, is shown by the defeat recently in the North
Carolina legislature of a resolution "to restrict the teaching
of Darwinism" in state supported schools.
The resolution blocked consideration of all other business
for three days and was the occasion of much fervid oratory
before packed galleries which testified to the public interest
'in the measure. The clergy was present in force, the Ku
Kluxers were everywhere while university students were
interested spectators.
That the resolution was decisively beaten, after succeeding
in initial moves, was due to the votes of the fundamenladisls
themselves, to men a3 orthodox as Bryan and as firm believ
ers in the special creation theory, who know little and care
less about science or theology, but have a profound belief
In liberty of conscience and whose fear of tyrannical legisla
tion is greater than their fear of biology, who hold with
Jefferson "eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over
the mind of man."
North Carolina, it will be remembered, in 1789 refused to
come into the union or ratify the constitution until the Bill
of Rights had been added, the very first line of which pro
hibits the making of any law respecting the establishment of
religion, and the rejection of the fanatical measure proves
that North Carolina still keeps the faith, and follows Jeffer
son instead of Bryan.

A Romantic Serial of Modern Life
By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON
AS OLD t'HIKND
"Jiut as I thought," LUIemay
Vail said to herself. "Mother has
fallen In lovs."
She tors ths two letters In tiny
bits and dropped them Into the
grata. Ths other letter, however,
she locked up In her dealt.
At that moment the door open
ed nnJ Miss Norton, who had been
with Lillemay eer since she had
arrived In Geneva to go to school,
ennie In, saying: "I've Just come In
from a walk down the boulevard
and I met Hobby McLean stroll
i'ig with the prettiest girl. I'm sure
he was an American. She was so
exuberant, looking about her with
such eager eyes.
"On the contrary, I have never
seen Bobby look so glum and for
some reason he looked glummer
when he saw me."
"That girl, Nonnle." Lille said,
calling Miss Norton by her pet
ncme, "is probably his fiancee.
Miss Geraldine Karnes. He wrote
me about her this morning."
Antoinette Norton looked grave
ly into LDlernay'a eyes and then
held out her arms. Swiftly the
Sir I went into them.
"Oh, Nonnie, I am the unhap
piest person In all the world. Bob
by wrote ma this morning that he
was bo Ins: to marry Miss Earnca
almost immediately."
"ilut, my dear, I thought he was
In love with you ?"
"Ho says he Is."
"The scoun'lrel "
'Tea, Nonnie. that is what they
call a man like Bobby, Iwit it? The
worst of It all is that even know
ing this I can't get over loving
him."
MIfs Norton clasped her closer
around the form within them.
Pityingly she put her lips to Lille
may's hair. "Of course you cannot
do this right away. But I can't re
member anywhere In all history
where love remained eternal. He
member, my darling, you are go
ing home next week and then
anions the old familiar scenes I
am sure you will forget."
"What did she lock like, Non
nie V
"Who?" answered Miss Norton,
who had completely forgotten the
other glil In her effort to comfort
the heartbroken clld-woman with
in her arms.
"Why, Nonnie, the girl with
Bobby," answered Lltk-may in a
trembling voice.
She was very beautiful," Miss
Norton answered honestly, "with
big, soft black eyes and midnight
hair, that shadowed her face from
under her turban.
"Nonnie. Nonnie!" Llllcmay's
brilliant red head was dropped on
the older woman's breath so that
she could not see her face. "Non
nie," she repeated again, "the girl
Bobby Is going to marry is betttr
looking then 1."
"Net when you are smiling, my
child. Now, of course, yojr face
Is drawn and the lines of suffering
have appeared about your mouth.
She was radiantly happy this morn
lug."
"Yes. she would be."
"Did this girl come across alone
to meet Bobby?"
"No, his father and mother came
with her.'
"Then I am going to call upon
them and tell them what he has
done. From what Robert has told
me about them I do not think they
will stand for their son's conduct
in this matter."
"Nonnie, you must never speak
to them or anyone clc about Bob
by and me. Suppose his father did
find out that hi had made low to
me. He couldn't do anything. He
would probably choose hla son to
keep his older promise and if the
iil knew It sho would be unhap
py even if aha married him. If one
of us must be unhappy. It should
be 1. If aha la told. It will only
mean that both of ua will be un
hippy If Boliby'a people knew
this If M'ss Karnes knew this
she would prcbably break hor en
gagement. That would break her
heart and humiliate Robert's fath

Hor hands Unaed at her sides and
clenched. "But Ultra is one thins
that I'll tell you now. Other men,
all othr .men who are Interested
in me, shall pay me for what one
of their sex has made me suffer.
"Nonnie, alt the men I have ever

their women. Kven my shiftless old

gambled with souls.
"Xo, Nonnie, never again will I

noon on my new role.
"Call up Count LaVelle and tell

fmit.tiion at Les Ambassadeur's
this evening."
"Aren't you nfraid that you will

Tho ghi turned on her friend In
fury, "That's what I'm hoping to
