THE SENATORSHIP.
fE NATOB C H A M B E R L A IN has
come and gone and the situation
in Cottage Grove doesn't seem
to be much changed thereby.
The Senator did not make one of
those speeches which brings the audi
t-nce to its feet with wild acelaim. He
appeared tired and weary.
He acted
more as if he felt that he had been
greatly abused by those he has served
ao tong. Such wrongs, real or imagin­
ary, appeared to have taken the tuca
out of him.
There was little or no
enthusiasm. The Henator made a nice
talk but it lacked the old time fire.
The Hentinel admired the Henator for
two things.
One was his modest.
He did not
attempt to claim that he had done any
great things at Washington.
He did
not claim to be a leader at Washing­
ton. He did not name much that he
had done. He seemed satisfied to leave
the impression that he had done bis
best and was sorry that he had not been
able to do more.
The other reason for admiration was
the Senator’s frankness in answering
the challenge of The Hentinel regard­
ing the charges of gross intemperance
that have been flung at him from every
corner of the state. He admitted that
he drinks, but we take it from his own
words that be has greatly changed in
this respect since bis election to the
Senate. His exact words are given in
n news item elsewhere. The Hentinel
is greatly pleased i f as United States
Henator Mr. Chamberlain has overcome
the extreme intemperance that char
HCterized his life while holding state
office. His intemperance at that time
is not disputed by even his most enthus­
iastic supporters, but his personal ap­
pearance at this time belies any state-
