They now know that their expense accounts are liable to be held up to the gaze of the pablic, and they cannot afford to be shown up in the same light as the South Amerlcsn commisslon, It ls safe to say, however, that in the futurc the senate will be more careful about voting to send committees all over the country on com- paratively useless missions simply to pleass this or that senator who may want to have his vacatlon expentes paid out of the public fund.
