It {s greater than the power attaching to any individual in any other legislative body. The Power of the senator is derived from the peculiar rules and practices gov- erning the Senate, and is lodged par- ticularly in the rule which permits unlimited debate on any subject. Here- in lies the real secret which has pre- vented majority rule in the Senate for so maiiy years—which has pre- vented the adoption of a real cloture rule by which debate may be limited through action of the majority, as it is in the House. A one-man fillbuster in the Senate against a minor measure which may bave merit, but which the adminis- tration is not behina, is frequently ef- >ower of Individual Senators he Senate Rules ! any measure, as long &s the minority insisted upon keeping it up. Only b: physical exhaustion would it be P sible to wear the opposition down and force a vote. Senatorial courtesy, so-called, oper- or of the individual sena- tor. There is an unwritten law that if a senator .declares a nominee for federal office in his own state to be “personally obnoxious” to him the Senate will sustain the senator and turn down the nomination. Rarely has the practice been violated. It 18 invoked by senators here and there in every Congress. A “penator ‘gives rotice” several days in advance that he proposes to discuss_a certain subject “after the close of the morning hour” on & cer- tain day, and after that notice has been given it is almost certain that the senator will speak, and at what- ever length he may desire, no matter how pressing the other business be- fore the Senate may be. * k¥ ¥ Another practice in the Senate . o v ator Go s" Responses. will support.

And they ohtain imme- | Giate employment. The ivestigation will prove the greatest obstacle to the operators’ acceptance. The op-| erators have opposed investigation. ! But they are faced now with an al- ternative which is even more dis-: tasteful in tie threat that the gov ernment may take over and operate the mines.” And because these cor ! ditions exist, the Cincinnati Times-! Star belicves that “it will not be healthy for either side to reject the i just and reasonable plan of settle- ment proposed by the President.” { The suggestion of the President can | be justified only because a real emer- | gency exists, and the Nashville Ban- ner, discussing it from this viewpoint deciares that “it should be remem- | bered that the present plan of the President, even if found agreeable to th sides of the controversy, is noth- ng . but an expedient and promises | very little for the ultimate and satis-, factory solution of the real problem.” | Still, while the President is not spec- | tacular in his methods, the Pittsburgh Leader argues that he has an “acute | understanding” of the needs of the na- | tion and will see that there is no coal { famine, because “if the mine owners do | not act they can be assured that the President will." Unless both sides move promptly the President will be com- | pelled to go even further in the view of i the Utica Observer Dispatch, because ! “it {3 encouraging to know that he has with some positiveness. Having made the start, he may be expected to mnke; hatever advance may be found neces- | ary. He will not retire from his posi- jtion and the next move will be one of igreater decistveness.” In addition. the Newark News Is convinced that “insis- | tence on the President’s part is the sole requisite to seeing the thing through. ‘When it spells public necessity—as it shortly will—this ‘moral suasion’ means {more than all the armed forces of the nation; it means that plus the determi: nation to condemn and keep condemned anybody. who, for his own ends, freezes or starves the nation.” " The time has come to ceare talking ct, the Baltimore Sun insists, ‘because “in its way as serious an emer- gency confronts us now as that which exists in Germany. Until we can heal ourselves Europe must look to us in vain.” .But the Louisville Courier Journal is hopeful that peace really may be in sight inasmuch as the President's note is “a breath of fresh air In an at- mosphere of sullen irreconcilability.
