AN UNCERTAIN QUANTITY
Apropos of the fight in the senate over peace treaty acceptance, it is
interesting to note that the penchant to denounce and deplore manifested at
intervals by various defiant groups of senators does not always imply that the
denouncing and deploring one's will do all that their fiery advance fulmlnations
suggest when it comes to shutting off the wind and toeing the scrat* h.
A glance over the history of the senate during the past fifteen or
twenty years reveals more than one occasion where belligerent senatorial
groups for weeks on end have rocked the capital dome with violent oratorical
blasts in opposition to pending or prospective legislation but yielded the issue
with most disconeerting calmness when matters were brought to the point of
final decision. Time and again large groups of senators have all but exhaust
ed the forensic possibilities of the Kngllsh tongue declaiming their unalterable
opposition to this or that measure of public import and after literally tearing
their passion to tatters over alleged dangers or Injustices, have subsided to
inoffensive Innocuousncss when the voting commenced.
Witness the strange recession of the fifty odd senators whose frenzied
perorations rang through the land in the days when the amendments to the
Sherman anti-trust act were threatening to subject the high disciples of
plutocracy to a more generous wing clipping. I>id not the senatorial patriots
declare with vibrant passion that they should not pass save over their dead
bodies—that their infliction on the poor abused trusts and trustmakers was
an outrage on humanity, a blow at our precious liberties and also threatened
to make chop suey out of the national industries and commerce? They did
and the land grew headachy with the tumult. But despite the fact that the
oppoeers represented a good majority, the amendments passed almost intact
when the votes were counted. And the country still lives!
Again, did not another noble and wisely discerning fifty lift up their
voices in stertorian denunciation of the iniquities and dangers reposing in the
Fteserve Bank act, warning the country until its ears ached that such a law
would lead the nation to the very brink of financial perdition if it did not
cause It to totter into oblivion and vanish from worldly view like lost Atlantis
beneath the ocean’s flood? Yet, despite their direful prophecies, the Reserve
Bank act was placed on the statute hooks and is looked upon today as ihe
main bulwark of our financial system!
And when the Hepburn rate bill was before the senate, was there not
forty seven senatorial Horatio's who rushed to hold the gate, even unto death,
• nd swore by the president’s beard and the seven gods that no more damnable
or destructive proposal had ever been thrust upon an unsuspicious nation?
Who of us who have crossed life’s shining hilltop and are descending
the rolling slope that ends beyond the sunset does not recall the frantic band
which ail but shouted the country into a state of partial deafness over the
direful dangers reposing in the Dingley bill? Who has forgotten the warn
ing voices ringing through the land in the days of the tariff debates? Not
alone in these but also in a half dozen other instances tumultuous senate groups
have worn the national nerves to a frazzle with bodeful prophecies before
yielding to a calm acquiesence when the clerk intoned the roll cal).
And again today, if we listen to the hoarse warnings rumbling from
the storied hall in the capitol’s northern wing, the nation is again on the
verge of a crisis; is reposing perilously beneath a new Damoclean sword whose
frail suspending thread is mingled with the warp and woof of the pence treaty,
and is doomed to become the victim of all manner of dreadful fates if we
heed not the voices of the seers and thrust the dreadful document aside or
patch it up with every cautious amendment or reservation that cunning and
foresight can conceive.
Something between thirty senators, as numbered by Senator Hitchcock,
and fifty, as counted by Senator Lodge, have solemnly assured us that this
unhappy prospect can be avoided only by permitting them to hew and mould
the treaty until it measures up to the full American standard of how things
ought to be. The treaty will probably emerge from the Senate gantlet in
much the same condition as the Irishman who thoughtlessly raised a ruction
at a south of Ireland fair. Yet, it must be remembered that what the senate
says is not always an index as to what the senate will do when -voting is in
The examples of senatorial steadfastness presented in the past provide
ample warrant for the view that the only decided thizg about the treaty situa
tion is its uncertainty.
