'?"" THE REGULARS ARE , UNABLE TO RETALIATE 0. 1'. SENATORS (ANXOT HOLD ^ I P WILSON APPOINTMENTS. L Present Democratic Minority in Senate I Seems Safe in Holding l*p Tait f Appointments. I Washington, .Jan. 2S.?If, as now seems likely, the Democrats in the senate hold up until this administration is ?nded, almost all of the civil norni^ nations made by President Tift since W iii? beg; inrag of the present ai:ri l.nal I session of the 62d congress, will the Republican senators be able to retallate with equal force by blocking the Wilcnn' r inominauons 01 ric^iucui ??. They claim tJbat they .will. This question has the problem-solvers hard at work. There is a co .stant buzz of arguments on the subject among those who delight in watching the political gam^ as it is played at the capitol and the White House. R-evi: flvnortc CJ TV fiavinST pUOUCciil pilll uuagc tAj/vi ? ? ?w for the benefit of the newspaper men who seek their confidence that the f hold-up policy apparently adopted by th-e Democrats with regard to Mr. Taft's late appointments is sure to be like the chickens that come home to roost, or the cat that persistently returns to the dwelling where it is not desired. However, it is inconceivable that the Democratic senators, mcst of whom wico in rvnlitics from long experi C ?? lk?v ill w-- ?- - ^'n?e, would block so many of these |^^eleventh-hour Taft nominations if it were io easy for the Republicans to ^ retaliate when they change places with the Democrats as the senate minority. Why is it that the Democratic senators are not abasned by the s-eemi^' inglv clear argument that ihe Republican minority will b in just as good a position to tie the patronage up at4. q^ the Democratic minor UXl A.TJLU.4 vu A xir-i- . ? _ ity is able to tie it up until March 4? i Insurgent Republcans the Answer. L The answer is found in the attitude W of the insurgent Republicans, who now hold the balance of party power in the senate and have held it for the past two years. Some of these -senators have even gone so far as to waive all claim to being Republicans. Others, like Senator Cummins, of Iowa, still assert that they are members of that party, although they supported Roosevelt for president at the last election. Because of this split in the Repub! lican ranks- the situation in the senate at the close of the Taft administration is not by any means an exact opposite of what the situation will be at the beginning of ihe Wilson administration. Mr. Taft has not the united support of a majority in the senate in matters of patronage. Mr. Wilson will have the united support of a ma^ jority unless some of the Democrats -t.oit their party caucus. Even in the ... ~ .,11 latter event, whicn, 11 it comws a<. u.u is likely to be postponed until som; * time alter the new administration opens, there is a good possibility that I enough Republican insurgents will side with President WiLson (rather than -go with the hated Republican regulars) to offset the loss. But for the attitude of the Republican insurgents, it would hardly have ^ . been possible for tht Democratic mi nority in the senate to hold up the Taft nominations in bulk at this session; and even if it had be:n possible it might not have been wise, because / the TVmocratic majority after March 4 will be so precarious that the illness of one or two Democrats might turr the scale of control. In this connec tion the recent invitation of one of the Bl insurgent Republican hcuse leaders Congressman Kent, of California, tc discuss with the president-elect, al Trenton, the question of conservatior f is most significant. Senator LaFoJ. lette and those who follow his leadership are much more friendly to th( incoming than to the outgoing admin, istration. * ** " V? 11 - ? * W n f t'iipiTHJ nonzun run ui .iuiii President-elect Wilson's laudab)< course in eliminating the affair knowi as the inaugural ball, which was con I ducted to enable Washington "to ge * its money back," and the decision o the senate Democrats against the sag gsstion of a great public reception it [h~ capitol building, will by no mean: cause the inaugural period to be with out spectacular interest in addition t< - the ceremony of the oath-takirg ant the official parade. t1,q will morf thai I iJUUt vwv*. ^ make up for any deficiency in the pro |^k gram. It is certain that the vomei who militantly dtsire to vote will fur nish at Washington on the 3d of Marc] the most impressive demonstration ever made in America, m oena i u thrir cause.

There is pretty general agreement j that instead of being inspired to ri- j baldry by th-e suffrage parade, the be- j holders would be "struck with awe" . (as some Washington business man j naively put it in an interview.) Senator {Herman's Loaded Srnfcure. By the way, the committee on woman suffrage, of which Senator Overman, j of North Carolina, is chairman, is one; of the numerous senate committees j i which have been regarded in the past i as sinecures. i I i The primary reason for the exist-; i ence of these committees is to see that! every senator gets a chairmanship of; some sort, and in the long period of! i i i Republican ascendency the distribution i | of the nominal honors has been chi-?fly j I among the Democrats. The committee; i on the Five Civilized Tribe;, for inj stance, has never held a meeting, but | ! it has two rooms in the capitol. which ; | make its chairmanship worth while, J ' (to say nothing of the committee clerk-' i I - T- : ? \ j-Uip.J | !

G. ( lmonl. f Union, S. C. \ President Kin ley Makes Speech. Xew Haven, Ot.. .Jan. 24.? Mr. \V. W. Finley, President of the Southern : Railway Company, was one of the speakers, at the annual dinner of the Xew Have l Chamber of Commerce in j the Yale University Dining Hall this i ev> ning. Mr. Finl y spoke on "State j of Mind." He quoted from a recent; m.igazin article by President-elect j Wilson as follows: Wilson as follows: "I>cn't you know that some man with j . loquent tongue, without conscience,: who did not care for tftc Nation, could ' put this whole country into a flame?j Don't you kufcw that this country, j i itvn one end to another, believes i that something is wrong? What an op- j portunity it vwould be for 20111? man j without ccnscieace to spring up and! say; 'Th\s is tne way. Follow me'?J and lead in paths of destruction." Mr. Fi.:ky flolowed this by a quotation from M. Gustave Le Bon's book ' "TVia o CtnHv nf i nuni 11^ vi v?? u? ci i^buv?^ vi v? ^ . Popular Mind," showing the small part: often played by reasoning in influe.ic- < ing public opinion and the case with | which it may be swayed by afflrma- ! tion a.:d repetition. Hi? argued that' these quotations demonstrated the wis- j dcm of so grounding public opinion in j -:conon>ic truth respecting the pro- i biems of the- day that mere affirma tioj: and repetition could not lead to the belief that wrong- existed where; ' I they did not. R ferring to the problems relating ! to ti a lis porta tion as among those as! tn which iMihlif miiriinn should tv well grounded, Mr. Fir.ley went on to deal with transportation from various'! p.ci.:ts of vitw as a basis for an intelliS nt public opinion, the fair attitude of I public mind as to the railway system that the transportation system of the; country was made up of the country! highways, the waterways, and the rail-1 way., e:ich important in its particular! field, he showed the relative magni-!, tude of the railway system and its im- :, portance as a factor in civilzation, na-' tional progress, and development, and | gave a passing glance at some of the: problem.; of railway management, j Continuing, he said: "The railways of the United States) give to society a transportation ser- ; vice that is more comprehensive from ! year to year. They perform this ser- j vice at rates of compensation that, j on the whole, are lower than those' I nair? for eimiliyr cprvinp in anv Other "" ?v , country. They give employment, dir- j ectly or indirectly, to millions of our: i.' 'low citizens a-.:d expend such vast su.-ns in the purchase of supplies and j materials that, not only the industrial j life, but the general properity of tht I . country, are largely dependent upon J the maintenance of their wage-paving and purchasing power. "In return for their service to so * i ciety the railways ask from society not as a favor but a right, that, j after they have been subjected to such j regulation as will protect the rights; of the public, they shall be protected, I I j in their property rights and shall be j j permitted to enjoy such a measure of; liberty in the management of their j affairs as is necessary to the success cf any business undertaking. It is1 i just as true today and in the United j ; States as it was nineteen* hundred i t years ago in Judea that the laborer i is wortny cf nis nire. I "This great American enterprise is willing to be judged by the standard ! ! recently proposed by our distinguished ! .citizen, the prcsident-elect, in his1 question: 'Are you giving anything' i to society when you want to take ! something out of society?'
