By MARK SULLIVAN. to The Tribune. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 7. Leaders Special In the senate are eager for the restoration of that body to the good graces of the public. They want to get 'back for themselves the prestige and leadership which left them and went to the White Housa partly da a necessary Incident; to the war, partly because of fifteen years of big and aggressive personality In the White House In the persons of Wilson and Roosevelt. This wish is close to the senate's heart, and frequently In private conversations, speaking Impersonally and unselfishly, they are able to make an appealing argument from a public point of view why this should happen. But the disposition of the senate to take "advantage of its Impersonality and anonymity, tta proneness to procrastination in the plain sight of the public, its tendency to dispose of popular measures, not by decision, but -- by Inaction, are dl- -, lustrated h .the course of a typical bill in the present Session. Ignore Immigration Bill. When the session began there were hieh had some degree of two projects popular pressure behind them. One was the relief of business by revival of tjjje. fine nee cnrporatWmt the" other "was Immigration. The popular demand for restriction of immigration met with prompt and effective response on. the part of the house.. In that body the Immigration re- -' strlction measure was Introduced on the opening day, December (, was debated on the 9th and 10th, was amended on the nth and passed on the 13th, all within exactly one week. The vote on the bill showed how popular the measure was; how little and how specialised the oppoeltlon was. Less than one out of ten of the membership of the house opposed It. The next day the bill went to the senate, and In the senate It still remains, more than eight weeks later. The day It arrived in the senate one senator evidently had some concern about imputations of bad faith to his fellows. Senator King of Utah -- - said- Fail (o Act. I havt seen the statement In a number of newspapers that, In all probability, nothing further would be done with this legislation. I do not know where this In formation came from. Conceding accuracy generally to the press, 1 am inclined to think that in this matter an error has been fallen Into. I desire to say there is no disposition to delay the passage of legislation at thla session dealing with Immigration. I believe that some legislation should be enacted before we ad Joum. I sincerely hope the committee will Immediately consider the question." But the committee did not ImmediateFor exactly ly consider the question." three weeks the committee did nothing. On January 4 they began to hold hearings. On occasional days, ten days In all, strung over a period of three weeks, the committee, or fragments of the commlt- tee, listened to witnesses. Practically all the witnesses were Interested In promoting Immigration end defeating the bill. Ceetlnaed aa Fate Twe (Oeimaa Feer.) Do You Always Remember Your Wifes Birthday?
