Show Editorial Notes, Senator Sherman's voluntary .retirement .re-tirement from the Senate is a good ,Jeal like Pat,ti's farewell toure, as ;?ar as he is concerned, but ex-Gov. J'oraker and his friends are disposed .to force him to live up ,to .his .word. Ex-Senatcr Hilt of Colorado; who was recently appointed by ' -. ,.,....,..iklt-.H.iytioa . nieinW ..of tW..ia-ternational tW..ia-ternational monetary commission, is not a creat statesman quite the contrary, but he knows how to give ."taff.v" to hiqiself and othtrs. He said in a recent interview of Mr. Harrison's . appointments: '-'He strives to select those men who will be a credit to the country." Perhaps Per-haps he does, but if he does the results re-sults of his strivings are very .poor. Sen ator Stewart has been telling ,iales out "f schoal abwt how Mr. Harrison compelled Senators to vote .against their convictions by threat-.ening threat-.ening to veto measures in which .th'y were personally interested. What business has a Senator or Representative Repre-sentative to be personally interested in any bill that comes before Congress! Con-gress! Judges re aot allowed to sit in the trial of cases in which they are personally interested, and one of these days the jieople will put a stop to the careers. of Congress ,mcn who do such things, .and it can .not be too soon for the future wel-'fare wel-'fare of the country. |
