To the Editor: The Iowa senators scarcely need defense from the thinly veiled attempt of Governor Carroll, to hold them responsible for the failure to pass the ship-arming bill, in the closing hours of congress.

He assumes that the record will put them In the pillory. First let it be said that the bill was defeated by events. Some make President Wilson responsible, by reason of his delay in asking for the authorization contained in the bill. Others put It upon dilatory tactics on the part of senators. The bill wat Introduced on Feb.

27, and Governor Carroll reports, "Objection was made by obstructionists, and it went over until March 1." This is purely gratuitous on the part of Governor Carroll, to my mind. Surely patriotic senators may be pardoned for giving a "once-over" on a bill so fraught with national consequences. The president properly took time to make up his mind before he made his request to congress, but senators and citizens were still In the valley of decision. In matters of conscience, a man may not hesitate, but this was a matter of Judgment, about which even a patriot might well hesitate. The bill was referred on March 1.

ana reported back the same day, but it did not get before the senate for consideration until March 8, at p. m. There was no evidence of a filibuster, up to that time. To get through that crowded senate calendar in two days' time disproves it. The time of the senate was taken up with big supply bills and debates of the greatest public moment.

Lardner doesn't ac cuse himself of producing litera and exciting western novel a story in which thrill fpllows thrill in such rapid succession that wo cannot help thinking what a "movie" it would make! The real hero of the book Is Wildfire, a red stallion, which has been seen running wild upon the prairie, and which is finally captured, after a long chase, by Lin Stone. Lucy Bostil. the spirited heroine, completes the taming of Wildfire and it Is she who rides him to victory in a race agalnat her father's favorite horse, Sage King. Lin and Lucv are in love with each, other, but it is only after they pass through terrible and too-iiuprob-able horrors that their love finds happiness. The novel Is well-done for a story of this type, and will he read with interest by admirers of the author of "Riders of the Purple Sage." "The Storlew of H.

A weak president cannot dominate congress, and a strong congress ctuinot be dominated by any Individual. But the matter has a more fundamental aspect.
