CURRENCY CAUCUS TURNED THE TRICK MIGHT H WE BEEN DONE SOONER; HAD PRESIDENT CONSENTED. | Weak Committee Verdict.?^lucli Cvni-j eal Comment on Lack of Nerve of Lobby Committee. Washington, December 13.?What has been done in the senate in the Tray of advancing the currency bill since the regular session of congress ! opened shows what could have been! done at the extra session if the presi- j dent had been willing sooner to permit the measure to be made a party! affair by the democratic caucus route, j Had the currency question in the | senate been turned over to the caucus ! live or six weeks sooner than it was? I and the president was urged by many j of his sincerest supporters to consent i to this necessary method at the outset?it is quite possible that the bill could have been passed before the:! special session came to a close. II.. J i*1 /V VI A. ? 1* 1 rorceu u. v. r. seuawrs nana. The point is simply this: Until the bill was made a party measure, thus demonstrating to the country that the! democratic majority was behind it, the republicans were in a position to retuse an agreement on a date to vote and escape suffering the whole respon- . sioilicy lor the delay. i1 Before the O'Gormans and the Heeds !: were called to taw by tne caucus they j. and a few occasional sympathizers in ! the senate were helping the marplot!, Hitchcok give an exhibition of demo IJ cratic aisagreeaienc anu uni eaumtas, ] and were really more to blame for the 1 delay than the republicans, who would naturally take aavantage 01 uissenciwii ] in the ranks of the majority. Howev- 1 er, when the democrats put themselves into phalanx whose effective- ^ ness and preparedness the whole coun | try could see. and when the responsibility was made to rest directly on ^ the G. 0. P. by the resolutions adopt- ^ ed at the suggestion of the same ^ shrewd O'Gorman w>ho had a few , c weeks before been practicing demo- j cratic "insurgency,"' the republican j senators had to fall in line with the movement to pass the bill before the holidays or commit a political blunder. j "They cussed awful" under their 1 breath and complained that they were jthe victims of a piece of trickery, but. the republicans came down without j fr\T o -n ir rriAra onntc Th P f?) ft ttclluilg 1ui oju/ uiva v/ a mw - ? ( | is that the O'Gorman resolution to , speed up the machinery before the i holidays was as pretty a specimen of j political acumen as has been seen' kere for years. It adds another to i the long chain of circles the democratic leaders have run around their opponents in congress since the house became democratic in 1911. Fig&t on Alaskan Kajlroad. Be prepared for a struggle in congress over the democratic bill to construct a government railroad in Alaska. President Wilson in his last personal address ta the lawmakers j warmly commended the proposition,! . i on which the territories committee or the house has made a favorable report, sentiment is very strong for it at both ends of the capitol. At the same time, there is a stubborn line of democratic opposition, to say nothing of the republican inclination to oppose wherever a fair opportunity is offered, and getting the Alaskan rail- j road bill to the president for his sig- j nature may be a hard job. 1 The opposition comes from thosej who are against the government own- ] prshin and oDeration of Dublic utili-: ties, especially railroads, or who have I not made up their minds on this mat- > ter and fear that the adoption of the : policy in Alaska will be the entering wedge for the adoption of the same ' policy all over the United States. Some of those who hestitate about the ' government's starting this sort of! thing in Alaska are entirely sincere. It is reasonable to suppose that there i are many others who represent the . . , i same exploiting "interests" wmcn i caused the blight of public distrust to fall upon the Ballinger management of the interior department in :he Taft administration. Alaska Our >~ew Zealand. Many who are on principle opposed to government ownership of railroads and other great public utilities within the comines of the United States proper are in favor of the idea in Alaska on the ground that a special arrangement for the "unbottling" of tiiis vast ana almost neiyiess lchitory does not constitute any precedent for the country as a "whole. These members and senators argue that the legislation and climate and ! population conditions of Alaska put it in a class by itself, and that it is like an infant which is the heir of enormous wealth. It cannot protect and develop itself, and it should not ! be allowed to fall into the hands of designing persons. Alaska, it may be predicted, will i be the American New Zealand?or peifaaps it would be better, on account of its size and treasures, to say that it will be the American Australia. Great Britian has done things in those colonies which she would not, have done at home, and which have j not. committed her to any change of domestic policies. A iVeak Committee Verdict. There is much cynical comment here on the lack of nerve displayed by the house lobby investigating com mittee, which made a report aoaging its manifest duty of recommending proceedings against the one represen- i tative, McDermott, of Illinois, who! seems to have been thoroughly discredited by the evidence in the case. The committee deplores, and censures, and wrings . its hands, expresses amazement that such things can be, pronounces McDermott to be morally unfit to servf in congress, but practically winds up with a sigh after using all the whitewash it could find. , The belief here is that the lobby charges do not affect the vast majority of the members of congress, but I that there have been a guilty few, and that an example should be made ^ Al" - 1 - 1 1 - A ' 01 1X16 1 a. tier \>UCiC*Cl jLTV/ooii^rx^.
