of the nationalists was the omnlotis si-
lence of the members of the unionist
party who seemed apprehensive regard-
ing the heavy demands on the nation's
purse when the bill is introduced n fort-
night hence.

tention of the special train to stop off and
view the city of Lawton?
Mr. Campbell replied that while be had
not the program, he did not believe th'
legislative party would go through th
metropolis of southwest Oklahoma without
stopping, and he would advise if the <
zeus of Lawton had any good cheer for
the occasion. It would be well for them to
make preparations to open It up.
Mr. Gore replied that a committee of

up things and were preparing to entertain
the visitors royally.

State Capital Bureau, filO 14th St.
Washington. Feb. 25.—"The senate
always finds time to pass all the leg-
islation that is needed'' is what any
of the old timers will tell you If one
should mention that apparently there
is no effort to crowd matters very
much, even during the limited time
remaining of the session. It is cer-
tainly remarkable that from the be-
ginning of the present session no one
soerns to have displayed the least anx-
iety as to the ultimate ability of the
senate to dispose of all the necessary
legislation without much inconven-
ience. When legislation looking to
remedying the complaints growing out
of the organization of large corpora-
tions, rate discriminations, etc.. can
pass without debate or objection, it
would seem that the senate can 'make
good" on all that Is claimed for It In
the matter of disposing of business.
The Elklns bill was agreed to in com-
mittee. and tho West Virginia sena-
tor took particular pains to see near-
ly everyliody In the senate and explain
his measure. When It was determined
Just what was to be done in the matter
of anti-trust legislation by incorporat-
ing tho Nelson amendment In the de-
partment of commerce bill, there waa
not the slightest difficulty in sending
the bill to conference. It apears that
the senate legislates with n "general
understanding." Conferences are held
and subjects which lt is found neces-
sary to puss uru put in tho lorui which
will not arouse opposition, and they
go through as fast as read. This
shows a desire on the part of senators
to get everything through, so that there
may be no excuse for an extra session.
Of course, there are some breakers
ahead, and it may he that serious
dashes will occur before the adjourn-
ment, but two or three lonpr night, ses- state
sions wil result in -compromise -or
agreement, and the "must" legislation
will be cleared when the gavel falls at
noon March 4. As much of the i er-
essary legislation has been passe? dur-
ing the time the statehood bill was oc-
cupying nearly all the time nf the sen-
ate. one is reminded of 'he observa-
tion made by John L. Wilson when
Senator from Washington: "The sen-
ate always provides itself with a sub-
ject to talk about." Certainly the stat- - , gf.ver
bill has filled that description ! Mary
