on his feet demanding recognition, but

Mr. Hoar sp ik" on the failure to pass
the Philippine hill. Th point he made

and the public are n l fit to govern
the d-Htlni'B of a jMij)!e K.Oulj inib-s
away v.-ho have no voice in the govern
ment. " It is the first great object lea
son." said he." of th wretchedness, the
iniquity o fwhat the American people
did two years atio in rgard to these
people."
Mr. I.o lfce made a vigorous reply to
Mr. Hoar in which he said he did not
h'4ie' with him in the view that the
American icople are not able to deal
with the fieat problems in the East.
"I believe they ar' thoroughly able
to d.ral with it as they dealt with
treat cr and mighty problems .bvfore,"
said Mr. Lodge. Continuing he said it
was a great misfortune, that the Phil
ippine tariff hill had railed.
Mr. Mason too!: the floor and talked
of the Panama Canal and other mat
ters. He urged that th; rules of the
Sri-ate b amended and tailed atten
tion to the ancient snuff ooxes in the
Senate. It gcrs without Ui rules, he
said, because it i.s a part of the dignity
of the Senate and he added amid
laughter, "like the rules, the snuff
box? a:v as unrhanrable as the
stars."
Mr. Allison reported that, the Presi
dent had mailing further to cammuni
cat.2 and that Mr. Uaoevelt had said:
"If it i.s in ordr I would like to say
that I congratulate the two houses of
Congress ur,on the admirable wcrk
Performed during this session."
A:j Mi. Mason had just been arraign

party in Congress. He was selected

and he was plaerd in nomination by
Senator Ua on. The D- moi rats prac
tically determined Fiiday to make
Mr. Oorman their leader, and his re
fiisal .was all that could possibly haw
stood in the way of carrying out the
programme. When it vas suggested
that the Senator would be an avowed :

Mr. Gorman said: "The Senator has
no intention of being a candidate fv
the presidency .
A.fter the caucus adjourned Senate; j
Simmons said: -The wh- le country j
knows what Mr. 'Gorman's leadership
means to Democracy. The minority
will hence forth, und'r his guidance,
be aggressive and wisely effective
when unity of purpose is demanded.
Although he is new to the present
Senate, it i3 not ft. i gotten that he has
had an experience of IS years."
While, as Senator Simmons says,
the minority lays gieat store by the
Maryland man's actions in astuteness
in skirting legislative pitfalls, a more
impendent political significance is at
tached his elevation Remembering
Mr. Gorman's intimate associations
with the conservative leaders, there
are those who see in his elevation a
tendency of the whole party organiza
tion to return to conservative first
principles.
Washington, Special. The Demo
cratic senatorial caucus which met Fri
day organize ! by electing Senator Gor
man to his old position as chairman
of the caur-us. This is a permanent
place and assures him the occupancy
of the Democratic conference room,
one of the most commodious and best
located committee rooms in the Sen
ate and of the capitol. He made a
brief speech in assuming the chair, and
the conference then proceeded to other
business. There were present 23 of the
33 Democratic Senators. Senator Gor
man's nomination as chairman was
suggested by Senator Bacon, and there
was no opposition to his selection, lu
taking the (hair, he thanked the Sen
ators for the honor conferred, but did
not make an extended speech. The
remaining time of the session was de
voted largely to the discussion of the
present situation in the Senate and
the necessity for Democratic harmony
and unity of action. There was a gen
eral feeling that the vacancies caused
by the retirement of Democratic Sen
ators front committtees which have
to deal with questions before he pres
ent call -session should be tilled, and
it va? decided that the designation o
the members of these committees
should h? made by a steering commit
tee, to he appointed by the chairman
of the caucus, but that their selection
should later be ratified by the caucus.
The steering committee for the past,
Congress has numbered only 7 mem
bers, hut Senatov Gorman requested
that the number should be increased to
0. which was the number in the days
of his previous chairmanship, pnd this
increase was decided upon.

quickly rode off. remarking that his

sums raised increased the term. Mr.
Woodard wanted to understand exact
ly how the money was spent. His
county asked for no aid fiom this
fund, but was helping other counties
and perhaps thev were reducing
county taxes. Mr. Henderson bald that
this new method oi distribution cf the

j chapter 4. laws cf l&ol. came up as
! the special order at noon. Section 4,
providing fcr township high schools
was stricken out -ectlon & was ihv
cussed. Mr. Woodard said" public edii
cation was not a duty of the State to
the child, but was the duty -of the
State to itself as a necessary safe
guard to its tfwn preservation. He ad
vocated an amendment that the sec
tion providing for allotment by the
county boards pro rata shall not apply j
district levying a special tax. Mr.
Woodard said this section was unjust.
Mr. Webb said that it was a double
tax. For instance Asheville paid $20,
000 of the $33,000 used for Buncombe
rural schools and of this $20,000 Ashe
ville got back less than $3,000 for its
graded schools. If the Asheville
schools had not borrowed money its
term would have been two months'
shorter than the rural schools that
ran eight months. Thjs section allowed
county boards to pay for school
houses, the superintendent's salary.
