OLD TO THE NEW
(Ciaugei ia the Personnel if ibt Uuited
Slates Stoatf From Hal
OF A FEW YEARS AGO
TTIie Tyj>c of the TJody Has Undergone
< treat Changes, and the Old
Senate Dominated by the Old
Ciiai'd Has Becunio a Tiling of the
Past.
When former Senator Thomas Carter
of Montana died a few days ago
attention was directed to the rapidity
with which the United States is
changing its personnel, says P. H.
ftlcGowan, the Washington correspondent
of the Columbia State. Mr.
McGowan goes on to say:
At the present rate of change it
will be only a few years until the
present senate has been almost entirely
reconstructed. Senator Carter's
final term in the senate was
from 19 05 until 1911. Hut the senate,
as he knew it, is an utterly changed
body.
In the first place the senate with a
few strong men of the old guard, like
Aldrieh and Hale and Allison has
passed out of existence. The probabilities
are that it will never return.
A new and different type of public
men have come upon the scene. It
will never be possible again for a
man of the Aldrieh type to hold the
senate in the hollow of his hand and
voto it almost as he wants to.
The old regime is gone. It began
tn tnftor snnn after Senator Ha Pol
lette came to the senate and started
to talk to empty seats, while his old
guard colleagues scoffed at him from
the clerk rooms. By himself, La Fol
lette couldn't pry the old guard loose
but it wasn't long until he got help.
Now, the insurgents who believe in
the things that La Follette believes
in hold the balance of power in the
upper house.
The house of representatives is
generally thought of as the body of
congress in which these is the most
change, in which service is the fleeting
and transitory. But, as a matter
of fact, it is little if any more
given to change than the senate, in
these modern days of the direct primary
and the war on the member
who is suspected of having affiliations
with any but the common people.
If one wants to gain an Impression
of how the senate is changing let him
pick up a congressional directory of a
few years ago and see how many of
the men then in the senate are left.
Take for instance, the directory of
the first session of the Sixtieth congress.
Examine the edition printed at
At the beginning of the year 1908
That is only about three years and a
half ago.
That nearly half of the senators
then in service should now be in their
graves or retired from congress
seems almost unbelievable. Yet
such is the fact. Of the 9 2 mem,hers
cf the senate 10 are no longer in that
body. The roll of those retired by
death or by the exigencies of politics
is a stirring one. Look it over. The
venerable and well-beloved Allison is
dead. Nelson F. Aldrich, confronted
if not by defeat at least by a discredit
ed leadership in the senate, is in retirement.
Teller of Colorado is dead
Frye of Maine is dead. Hale has retired
because he saf a political storm
coming which he could not breast.
]>aniel of Virgina, in his day one of
the most gallant figures that wore the
gray, is dead.
So is Proctor of Vermont, one
, time secretary of war. Hansbrough
is retired. Burrows of Michigan was
driven out of public life by the overwhelming
vote of his constituents in
favor of a younger and more progressive
man. "Uncle Steve" Elkins
of West Virgina has gone to his grave
Clay, of Georgia, one of the most
earnest men who ever sat in the senate
is no more. Foraker, because of
Hoosevolt, is out of ofllce. McEnor.,

SOME PLAIN TA1K
HKISTOW AX1) FISHEH CLASH IN
PKESKXCE OF TAFT.
DiscuNsion as to Who Arc Progressives
.Marks the Close of a Xon
Partisan Celebration.
Near the close of what had been a
non-partizan celebration of the 5 0th
anniversary of the birth of Kansas
as a State at Hutchinson on Tuesday
with President Taft as the principal
speaker, a political incident flared up
and gave a thrill to the thousands of
Kansans who packed the grandstand
at the State fair grounds.
Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the
interior in President Taft's cabinet,
just back from Alaska, made a threeminute
speech in which he said some
thing's about the difference between
"real progressives of the middle of
the road like Mr. Taft," and "hypocritical,
demagogic progressives who
oppose every practical progressive
policy put forth."
Senator .Joseph L. Bristow, ranking
second only to Senator La Follette of
Wisconsin among the progressives of
the senate, followed Secretary Fisher
and quickly caught up his challenge.
We in Kansas," he said, "are always
willing to grant that the other
fellow is honest in his views and we
expect him to grant that we are honest
in ours. I want to say to PrePresident
Taft in this State, there
now, that in working out the problems
that confront us, we of Kansas
will have our part and have our say,
to the end that there shall be justice
to all and special privilege to none."
Both Mr. Fisher and Senator Bristow
were applauded. The throng
seemed to appreciate the verbal pas
sage at arms ana me virtual serving
of notice by the junior Kansas senator
that while he was participating
ireely and gladly in the welcome to
President Taft in tris State, there
would he no let up in the factional
fight as soon as the chief executive
left the borders of the commonwealth.
The president himself had made
little reference to politics. His reference
was purely historical. Mr.
Taft was introduced by Gov. Stubbs,
who led hn the cheering that followed
Mr. Taft's introduction. When the
President had concluded Gov. Mann,
of Virginia, made a .brief address.
BLUE AND GREY LINK ARMS.
+
Climax of Union and Confederate
Gathering at Memphis.
To the strains of the fife and
drums 500 veterans of the lilue and
Orey marched with arms linked
through the streets of Memphis Wednesday
night bunting bedecked and
gayly illuminated in their honor. It
was tho culminating feature of the
reunion of soldiers who fought in
tho opposing armies during the civil
war of the 'GO's.
The Sons of Veterans and other
auxiliary organizations, State troops,
fraternal associations and mounted
police paraded with the gray-haired
men. Former slaves, body servants
during the war, inarched in the wake
of the veterans and spectators crowded
the streets to cheer the old soldiers.
The most important action taken
at the Reunion was an endorsement
of a proposed peace jubliee and a
general reunion in Washington in
1913. Other than this the Reunion
was principally a happy intermingling
of those who were foes fifty
years ago. They participated .in a
barbecue arranged by the Sons of
Confederate Veterans.

PJLIC6 QUELL RIOTS
FORCED TO CHARGE MOBS WITH
BRAWN SABRES.
Mexican Indians Crucify Chiofas Citizen
When They Sacked That Place
?Women and Children Murdered.
Within a few hours after the return
of Francisco I. Madero, Jr.,
from his speaking tour through the
south Thursday, Mexico City again
became the scene of riots whose
quellin by the mounted police resultquelling
by the mounted police resulted
in two fatally wounded and 15
injured. To restore order the police
were forced to charge the mobs with
sabres drawn.
Groups of manifestants were still
parading the streets and shouting
" Vivas" tor tne returning candidate
when police were compelled to disperse
rioters who had gathered in
the zocalo in front of the city hall.
The work of the authorities accomplished
here was repeated half an
hour later in a factory district ten
blocks away, where the same drastic
measures were employed to suppress
another outbreak.
Neither of these riots had any
great political significance and their
origin on the day of Madero's return
was either merely a coincidence or
due to the fact that the thousands of
manifestants on the streets made it
easy for troublemakers to get in their
work.
Instigated by those who profess to
believe that Antonio Rivergo, the
governor's secretary, was responsible
for the political confusion in the
state of Chiapas, the mob marched to
the zocalo. Its numbers steadily increasing
and the cries became so insistent
and insulting that the authorities
called out the mounted police.
Twice the police called on the people
to disperse, but without result.
Sabres then were drawn and the
squadron charged into the midst of
the mob, which gave way, but not
until a few scattering shots from revolvers
had been fire by the rioters,
one of which fatally wounded a mem
utri ui tut; iiiuu. j
Ten minutes later the zocalo was
deserted, but the neuclus of the mob
remained intact and gathering fresh
recruits the hoodlums marched to T^a
Carolina, a texile mill in the northern
part of the city. A labor dispute
was pending there and the rioters'
efforts were directed toward precipitating
a strike. Another squadron of
mounted police charged the rioters.
This time the mob did not reform.
DEATH AMONG MERRY-MAKERS.
?
Rockets Explode in Mexican Church.
?Madero Festival.
A terrific oxplosion of rockets and
boombs in a crowded church at Guadalajara,
Mexico, Wednesday, resulted
in four dead and fifteen seriously
injured, cast a shadow of gloom
over the merry-makers attending
the coming of Madero Wednesday.
Of the wounded many were so
seriously burned or trampled in the
panic which followed that they are
believed to have been fatally injured.
Fifty rockets and six hundred
bombs had been stored in the Chapel
of Jesus for use in celebrating the
arrival of the sacred image of the
Virgin of Zapoapian, which at this
season is carried from church to
church and believed to have power to
effect miraculous cures on the faithful.
The explosives, piled at the foot
of the stairs leading to the tower, is
thought to have been ignited by the
careless dropping of a lighted cigarette.
Those nearest were hurled in
all directions by the force of the detonation.
The building was quickly filled
with suffocating smoke, which blinded
the struggling and frantic occupants
who fought one another in
their efforts to reach the exits. When
the smoke cleared away one man was
found dead partially disemboweled,
and three hoys, one eight and two
ten years old, so frightfully burned
and mangled that they died soon after
being carried from the building.
