Owen of Oklahoma, whose leadership of the democratic minority in the New Mexico and Arizona state hood filibuster, caused Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, (on the left) to resign his senatorial seat. Senator Owen refused to allow a vote on the Mexico statehood act un less action was also taken on the bill admitting Arizona to state privileges. This stand on the part of Senator Owen aroused the anger of Senator Satley who took exception to the radical nature of Ari zona's constitution, which included such progressive clauses as the referendum and recall, etc., stating that no true democrat should upheld so radical a constitution. Bailey’s fellow senators, however, went to the support of Owen and agreed to a vote on both the New Mexico and Arizona measures. This angered the senator from Texas to such an extent that he resigned his seat from the senate. BANK mm II TO BE GIN dees not make an • ■ ■■ ii'i of I'lis arrest l>y '' ' (Uhmod guilty oi' .

March 20.—It is fortu nate for the defeated members of tlie late congress that I'ncle Sam lias pro vided plenty of i)lacid "lame duclt ponds’’ on government reservations, where the w'ater is warm and inviting. The president, appreciating the tem perature on the ouside has bade them come in and enjoy themselves. They have done so at this congress to tlie number of fully a score, and despite the fact that the people have repu diated them at the polls they wall con tinue to fatten at the official trough. A "lame duck." it should he under stood, is a man w’ho has for a season eii.ioyed the honors and emoluments of office and then, coming up for re- election, has had his ambitions tillwartod by a rival candidate. Of such there were many in the late congress, and (hose who had the good lortune to stand in ''OlI at the White House or with otliers having i»laces to bo filled in appointive, rather than elective oflices, have been assigned to easy jobs, where, as a rule, the per quisites are large and the duties small. It not infrequently happens that con gress. cognizant that members will be i'orced to retire from legislative (iuties, has seen fit to create oflices to wliich these statesmen may be ap- l)ointed. It always occurs at the end of each congress where old timers have served well and are forced to retire, that a certain number of them have been cared foi' with lucrative po sitions thus established. Hocausc of the jiolitical upheaval last fail, which retired many a would- I)e statesman to private life against his will, there has been an unusual de mand for these soft, places, and the ])iesident has been put to his wits’ end to find employment for the re jected and dejected ones. The monetary commission is one of the most inviting of these "lame duck ponds.’’ When it was constituted a little more than two years ago pro vision vv'as made that the commission should consist of nine members of the senate*and nine members of the liouse — to serve until the expiration of the life of the commission in 1914. There v.as no provision, however, whereby a man, who, as a senator or a member of the liouse, was placed on the com mission. should be obliged to vacate it ujion lea\ing congress. If he was only appointed while a member of congress he would hold on as long as the com mission continued, even though he should retire from the national legis lature. Of the nine members appointed from tlio senate only one is now' a member of that body. Seven of the eight oth ers are "lame ducks.” The other is Senator Burton, Avho was appointed while a member of the house, and con tinues to serve w'hile he Is a member of the senate. Senator Aldrich, of Rliode Island, Senator Burrows of Michigan, Senator Hale of Maine, and Senator Money of Mississippi; all of w'hom retired from congress at the close of the last session, were mem bers of the commission, and will con tinue as such, if they desire, through out its existence. They will draw the same salary as though they w’ere mem bers of the senate—$7,500 a year. Sen ator Henry M. Teller, who retired from the senate tw^o years ago, retains his place on the commission. Secre tary, of \State Knox, who was originally nauied as a member resigned some time ago, and the death of Senator Daniel of Virginia left two vacancies on the commission from the senate side. Senator Flint, of California and Senator Taliaferro of Florida are “lame ducks.” The former had refus ed to stand for re-election, and Sena tor Taliaferro had been twice defeat ed when a candidate for re-election. He. was first beaten by Gov. Napoleon B. Broward, who died before he could take office. Then Taliaferro came up again for re-election only to be defeat ed by Nathan P. Bryan. On the clos ing day of the last session, ten min utes before Vice-President Sherman’s gavel fell, and while they were still senators, these men were nominated to fill the tw'o vacancies on the part of the senate. Having been appointed, when they were members of the sen ate, they are now enabled to hold their places on the commission as long as it lasts. Senator Bailey is the only member of the senate originally ap pointed on the commission, who con tinues to hold his place. Every other member is a “lame duck.” Among the “lame ducks” from the house are ex-Representative Bonynge, and ex-Representative McLachlin, of California. In order to make a place for the latter Representative Smith, of California, resigned, and allowed Me- Lachlin, who was not re-elected, to have the place, since Smith, as a mem ber of the commission could not draw a salary both from the commission and as a member of congress. Places on the commission are re garded as sinecures. Its members have made junketing excursions through all the countries of Europe, and this summer they plan trips to all the principal cities of this country at government expense. They have elab orate suites of offices in the senate office building, and the commission ac tually meets only three or five times a year. It has been in existence for more than two years, and has never made a report, though Senator Aldrich, w'ho does all the work, has submitted a plan of reform in our financial sys tem. As a “lame duck i)ond” there is no place more inviting than the monetary commission. In fact it is easiest graft known to congress. Another pond which is alluring is the international boundar.v commis sion. This body was constituted to determine the dividing line betw'een the United States and Canada in the waters w'hich lie between the two countries. It's a pleasant job, partic ularly in the warm summer months, w’hen outings in northern waters con stitute a very enjoyable means of spending vacation. How^ much more pleasant it is when there is a salary and expenses attached to the outing, particularly when the sum of $30,000 is provided for salary and expenses of three men. Senator Thomas H. Carter of Montana, and Representative James A. Tawney were two lame ducks to draw these coveted prizes. -■ . Senator William Warney, a political accident in Missouri six years ago, is another "lame duck” who dropped in to the board of ordinance and fortifica tions pond, and, diving down came up with a $.".000 salary. Representative Henry Sherman Bou- tell. a Chicago “lame duck” will bathe in the ministerial "lame duck”,pond at Lisbon, Portugal. He went abroad last summer after his defeat for re-nomina tion, looked the situation over care fully. and decided that he would like to spend a few years in Europe’s new est republic. Forthwith when he came back home, and when he had completed his service in congress, he v/as commissioned to represent Uncle Sam at the Portuguese capital. The best that could be found for Representative Cyrus Durey, of New^ York', w'as the internal revenue lame duck pond. He now has permission to swim in its quiet waters in the 14th collectiori district of New York, over which he presides as collector. Owing to the unusually large num ber of these lame ducks this year, there have not been ponds enough for all, and some of them will be obliged to flounder about on dry land, and quack and quack because there is not a government pool for them to swim in.
