HAT occurred in the Senate of the United States during the closing hours of the Sixty-fourth Congress will go, down in history as one of the most disgraceful pages that ever had to be written into the nation’s legislative records. Every minute of the time that remained before noon yesterday should have been applied by every Senator to the urgent task of con- solidating and co-ordinating the Government of the United States to| meet the gravest crisis it has ever had to mect. | Instead of that, a small group of pro-Germans, pacifists and p> | litical tacticians deliberately took advantage of the Senate rules to consume hour after hour with vain talk, in order to make certain} that the President should not receive from the Sixty-fourth Congress | authority to arm American shipping for the defense of its rights! No wonder a majority of Senators refused to stand before tho! country in euch company. The manifesto signed by eighty-four Senators was meant to leave no doubt that an overwhelming majority of the Senate stood ready to pass the ship-arming bill, and to make it plain to the nation who were responsible for the miserable tactics which made it impossible to come to a vote before adjournment. Headed by Senator Stone of Missouri, who deserves to wear the Tron Cross as one of the Kaiser's stanchest allies in America, the list of anti-American obstructionists in the Upper Houso of Congress included La Follette of Wisconsin, Norris of Nebraska, Works of California, Vardaman of Mississippi, Gronna of North Dakota, Lanc of Oregon and Cummins of Towa. These names should be published all over the land. The Senate of which they were a part repudiated their methods and their brand of patriotism. They stand forth as legislators indifferent and worse than indifferent to national unity or national honor. They have put @ smudgy mark upon Americanism, ‘The country is heartily ashamed of them, 9 When the President went before Congress to ask for au- thority to arm merchant ships and “to employ any other inetrumentalities or methods that may be necessary and ad quate to protect our ships and our people in their legitimate and peaceful pursuits on sea,” he nevertheless declared plainly: “No doubt I already possess that authority without special warrant by law, by the plain indications of my constitutional duties and powers.” It would be a fine thing to have a President of the United States and a Congress working side by side and with one purpose for the nation’s honor and safety. But for the next four years, thank God, it is a Presifent who, though he goes to Congress in the service of the people, is strong enough to perform, with or without Congress, every iota of that servico for which the Constitution provides, A DEBT TO MASSASOIT. ENSIONS for descendants of the great Indiana Chief Massasoit, P good friend and ally of the Mayflower Pilyrims who landed at Plymouth, Mass, in 1620, are being considered by the Massachusetts Legislature. It appears there are three old women now living in the Tray State who are directly descended from the famous chieftain and a sister of the equally famous King Philip. The three are sisters, bearing the native names of Teeweelema, Wentonekamuske Zerviah, and the first two lived for many years near Lake Assawomp-| sett, which had been home to the family in the old day Their lands are long since gone, and the least Massachusetts can do, it is felt, is! to acknowledge its debt to the ancestor by looking after the last of his race. | Thanks to the character of old Massasoit and a treaty made with him which lasted for more than fifty years, the early settlers in Massa-| chusetts had at first a very different sort of experience with the} Indians from that which befell colonists in other sections. At the very moment of a horrible Indian massacre in the Virginia colony, | when three hundred and forty-seven men, women and children were | inurdered in one day (March 22, 1622), the Plymouth Pilgrims were | having reason to regard the red men only as kind and helpful friends. | “We have found the Indians,” faithful to their covenants of peace with us, very loving and willing to pleasure us, We go with them in some cases fifty miles into the country, and walk as safely and peaceably in the woods as in th highways of England.” In the early struggles with short harvests and winter famine it might have gone hard with the Plymouth colony and changed much | subsequent history if the Pilgrims had hall to reckon with another) sort of Indian than Massasoit. gratitude, and | Gov, Winslow reported, “very Massachusetts may well show SS ey Yesterday seems to have been to Washington’also another powerful argument against March 4 as an inaugural date.
