Proctor Knott delivered his cele brated, albeit, too lengthy panegyric on Duluth, which altho intended as a slam at an appropriation for the de velopment of that great lake port, really proved the best advertisement the place could have had, has there e.cn anything recorded in the pages of that sterling, conservative publica tion, The Congressional Record, more exciting than the recent speech by i.piescntative Nick Sinnott of Ore gon, in which he described Crater Lake in the following language: "Crater Lake, cauldron-like and olrcular, 7,000 feet high, is perched amid the peaks. Perpendicular sides of slaggy lava rises over a "thousand feet from waters of indigo blue miles across and 2,000 feet deep. "To the scientist, a mighty volcano collapsed within Itself, Mount Ma nama, 15,000 feet high, telescoped. "To the poet, 'the sea of silence, 'a lake of mystery ' "To me, a shell hole of a war of worlds who knows? "Could the great blind poet have seen this marvel ere his pen had Lucifer and his host of rebel angels Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky, With hideous ruin and combustion, down in Miltonic imagery here he'd have found the Impact." This is certainly a graphic descrip tion of "Where Lucifer Lit" and if Representative Sinnott's effort can not be described as putting apples of gdd in pictures of silver, refining pure gold and painting the lily, then .here is no such thing as hyperbole. Will our own John D. Raker of Modoc, with' its majestic lava beds and other evidences of the time w hen chaos struggled with entity; "Where long ago the Titans fought and hurled for missiles mountains;" will our own Congressman Church, whose district embraces the wondrous Yosemite, permit this to stand as the solitary tribute to only one of t lie many areas of grandeur the Pacific coast can boast, or will they give California its meed of publicity thru the same medium and by more graphic description of its greater wonders draw attention to their i ex istence? San Francisco Bulletin. There is only Sinnott and Oregon has him and is proud of him. Our California neighbors may coax their congressmen to "talk" about their Yosemite and their lava beds, but they must worship at the Sinnott shrine for a long time before they will be able to acquire the artistic touch of our beloved Nick. RULE TO BEJORE FREE Republicans in House and Senate Plan Improved I Procedure. Committee Places Divided. Washington, Feb. 10. Plans are ') lug rapidly completed by Republi can leaders in both the Senate and House for making the control of hose bodies in the new Congress less entralized than under Democratic tile and more amenable to the ln luence of the general membership and of public opinion. In the conservative Senate, which urn time immemorial has followed radition, a mild revolution has just been brought about in a twinkling by '.he very youngest in point of service of the solons there and with the ringing approval of the older heads. In this the lead has be?n taken bv Senators Ger,rge Moses, of New Hampshire, and Fred Hale, of Maine, both reared in a sihool of politics which in the past has been termed almost reactionary, the former a protege of the late Jacob H. Gallinger ind the latter a son of the late Eugene Hale. Senator Norris, of Nebraska, in troduced a bill in the early part of the present session to do away with what he designated as the inter locking committeeships among the senators. Under this system mem bers who have served for many years have been able to keep within their command the, entire course of im portant legislation. One old and in fluential Democratic senator is chair man of one of the big committees and at the same time is second in rank on three others, so that he net only Is the most potent force in shaping bills which pass through his own commit tee but is as well a conferee In others on bills which have passed boih houses and are to be considered for the elimination of differences in con ference. This strict application of the seniority principle has made it possible for a few men to run the Senate end of the Capitol. Moses therefore worked out the scheme and Hale presented it in the meeting of the Republican senators that each senator shall hereafter have membership on two of the major committees, of which there are ten. These are Agriculture, Appropria tions, Commerce, Finance, Interstate, Commerce, Foreign Relatione, Judici ary, Military Affairs, Naval Affairs, E PP y I I (Continued on Page Eight.)
