WILLIAM P. FRYE 1-ON. WILLIAM I}. FRYE DEATH OF HON. WILLIAM PIERCE FRYE PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE WEDNESDAY, August 9, 1911. The Senate met at 12 o'clock m. Prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, D. D. Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we rejoice that Thou art Lord alike of life and of death. We thank Thee for the assurance that neither life with its joys nor death with its sorrows shall separate us from Thee, who has been our dwelling place in all generations. For the life and services of Thy servant whom Thou hast called to Thine higher service we render Thee sincere thanks. In our deep sorrow we turn to Thee, for Thou alone canst help. Consecrate to us, we pray Thee, our loss, and graciously be near unto those to whom this sorrow is most deep. So may God our Father, who hath loved us and hath given us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort our hearts and establish them in every good word and in every good work. Amen. The Secretary proceeded to read the Journal of the proceedings of Monday, August 7, when, on request of Mr. Cullom and by unanimous consent, the further read- ing was dispensed with and the Journal was approved. Mr. JOHNSON of Maine. Mr. President, it becomes my sad duty to announce to the Senate the death of my colleague, Hon. WILLIAM P. FRYE, for 30 years a dis- [5] MEMORIAL ADDRESSES: SENATOR FRYE tinguished Member of this body and for 15 years its President pro tempore. He died yesterday at his home in Lewiston, Me. I fully appreciate the profound sorrow which his death has occasioned in the hearts of the Members of this body, for I have come to know through my short experience here the affectionate regard in which he was held by Members upon both sides of the Chamber. The present, overshadowed by the gloom of death, is not the appropriate time for any extended remarks upon his distinguished public services and his eminent char- acter, but at a proper time I shall ask that the Senate temporarily suspend its business that fitting tribute may be paid to his high character and distinguished public services. At the present time I offer the following resolutions and ask for their adoption. The VICE PRESIDENT. The Secretary will read the reso- lutions submitted by the Senator from Maine. The resolutions (S. Res. 131) were read and unani- mously agreed to, as follows: Resolved, That the Senate has heard with profound sorrow of the death of the Hon. WILLIAM PIERCE FRYE, late a Senator from the State of Maine. Resolved, That a committee of 18 Senators be appointed by the Vice President to take order for superintending the funeral of Mr. FRYE at his late home in Lewiston, Me. Resolved, That the Secretary communicate a copy of these proceedings to the House of Representatives and request the House to appoint a committee to act with the committee of the Senate. The Vice President appointed under the second resolu- tion Mr. Johnson of Maine, Mr. Cullom, Mr. Gallinger, Mr. Martin of Virginia, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Lodge, Mr. Perkins, Mr. Wetmore, Mr. Culberson, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Clark of Wyoming, Mr. Warren, Mr. Foster, Mr. Simmons, Mr. 16] PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE Nelson, Mr. Penrose, Mr. Clarke of Arkansas, and Mr. Dillingham as the committee on the part of the Senate. Mr. JOHNSON of Maine. Mr. President, I offer the, fol- lowing resolution and ask for its adoption. The VICE PRESIDENT. The Secretary will read the reso- lution. The Secretary read the resolution, as follows: Resolved, That as a further mark of respect to the memory of the deceased the Senate do now adjourn. The VICE PRESIDENT. The question is on agreeing to the resolution submitted by the Senator from Maine. The resolution was unanimously agreed to, and (at 12 o'clock and 6 minutes p. m.) the Senate adjourned until to-morrow, Thursday, August 10, 1911, at 12 o'clock meridian. THURSDAY, August 10, 1911. The Vice President presented a resolution adopted by the Maritime Association of the Port of New York, which was ordered to lie on the table and to be printed in the Record, as follows: THE MARITIME ASSOCIATION OF THE PORT OF NEW YORK, 78 Broad Street, New York, August 9, 1911. Hon. JAMES S. SHERMAN, Vice President of the United States, Washington, D. C. DEAR SIR: I have the honor to transmit below resolutions adopted by the board of directors of this association at a regular monthly meeting held this day, viz: "Whereas the board of directors of the Maritime Association of the Port of New York has learned with deep regret of the death of Hon. WILLIAM P. FRYE, senior Senator from the State of Maine; and "Whereas, representing as he did for many years a constitu- ency occupying an important position in the shipping and com- mercial world, Senator FRYE from the outset of his career became (7] MEMORIAL ADDRESSES: SENATOR FRYE an ardent champion of the shipping interests of our country, rendering such service as to place these interests under lasting obligations to his memory: Therefore be it "Resolved, That this board realizes that in 'his death our asso- ciatiQn has lost a valued friend, who invariably aided in 'the furtherance of measures advocated by our organization; that the maritime and commercial interests have suffered an irrep- arable loss, and that in the councils of Congress, where his varied and expert knowledge in all affairs pertaining to ship- ping was ever at their disposal, he will be sadly missed, and that the country at large is deprived of the services of an hon- ored statesman, hose voice was ever on the side of right and whose career is worthy of emulation; and be it further "Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the family of the deceased and to the Vice President of the United States." Very respectfully, WILLIAM SIMMONS, President pro tempore. Attest: C. LYNN BUNDY. TUESDAY, February 27, 1912. Mr. JOHNSON of Maine. Mr. President, I desire to give notice that on March 14, immediatelyafter the close of the routine morning business, l shall ask the Senate to consider resolutions in commemoration of the life, char- acter, and public services of my late colleague, WILLIAM PIERCE FRYE. THURSDAY, March 14, 1912. The Senate met at 2 o'clock p. m. The Chaplain, Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, D. D., offered the following prayer: Almighty God, our heavenly Father, with whom do live the spirits of those who depart hence, we thank Thee that Thou hast brought us to this day of tender and reverent memory. Unto Thee, who art the bountiful source of all goodness, we render thanks for the long and honorable public ministry of him whom we this day commemorate. [8) PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE As in memory we again see his face and hear his voice, and as of yore we seem to behold him sharing the counsels of this body and laboring by our side, we pray Thee to consecrate to us the service of this day and to make us worthy of this fellowship. Because of such, life is the richer and nobler for us all. Death is robbed of its sting and -the grave loses its victory as we contemplate the peace and the joy that await those who faithfully serve Thee. We remember, now and here, those whose sorrow is most deep. Comfort them by Thy heavenly grace and uphold them by Thy spirit. Bid the light of Thy counte- nance to shine upon them in their darkness and let the assurance of Thine unfailing love be their hope and stay. Thou hast given and Thou hast taken away; blessed be Thy name, 0 Lord of life and of death. In the name of Him who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light, receive our prayer. Amen. Mr. JOHNSON of Maine. Mr. President, I submit the reso- lutions which I send to the desk, and I ask that the same be read and adopted. The VICE PRESIDENT. The Senator from Maine asks for the present consideration of resolutions, which will be read. The resolutions were read, considered by unanimous consent, and unanimously agreed to, as follows: Resolved, That' the Senate has heard with profound' sorrow of the death of the Hon. WILLIAM PIERCE FRYE, late a Senator from the State of Maine., Resolved, That as a mark of respect to the memory of the de- ceased the business of the'Senate be now suspended to enable his associates to pay proper tribute to his high character and dis- tinguished public services.

  • The Historic Failure of the Chicago School of Antitrust Mark Glick
    Antitrust and Economic History: The Historic Failure of the Chicago School of Antitrust Mark Glick1 Working Paper No. 95 May 2019 ABSTRACT This paper presents an historical analysis of the antitrust laws. Its central contention is that the history of antitrust can only be understood in light of U.S. economic history and the succession of dominant economic policy regimes that punctuated that history. The antitrust laws and a subset of other related policies have historically focused on the negative consequences resulting from the rise, expansion, and dominance of big business. Antitrust specifically uses competition as its tool to address these problems. The paper traces the evolution of the emergence, growth and expansion of big business over six economic eras: the Gilded Age, the Progressive Era, the New Deal, the post-World War II Era, the 1970s, and the era of neoliberalism. It considers three policy regimes: laissez-faire during the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, the New Deal, policy regime from the Depression through the early 1970s, and the neoliberal policy regime that dominates today and includes the Chicago School of antitrust. The principal conclusion of the paper is that the activist antitrust policies associated with the New Deal that existed from the late 1 Professor, Department of Economics, University of Utah.

This is the question addressed in Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen's Grant Comes East, the follow-up to their imaginatively entitled Gettysburg, in which Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia did indeed outmaneuver and defeat the Army of the Potomac at their critical clash in July of 1863. The backgrounds of both authors render them well-suited to speculating as to the military strategy and political wrangling that may have followed such a turn of events.

  • John W. Foster, Soldier and Politician by DANIELW
    John W. Foster, Soldier and Politician By DANIELW. SNEPP Indiana’s sons have occupied a number of important gov- ernmental offices in Washington and diplomatic posts abroad. No Hoosier, however, has served his country longer or more faithfully than John Watson Foster. His public life spans a half century of diplomatic conflict in which the United States rose to the undisputed position of a world power. In the pres- ent generation, few, except students of diplomatic history and international law, have heard the name of John W. Foster or read his scholarly works on diplomacy and world peace. No published biography has yet recorded his achievements and no monument has been raised to perpetuate his memory. Nevertheless this obscure man was regarded by Ambassador James Bryce as “the most distinguished diplomat of our time,” and by Secretary of State Frelinghuysen as the most valuable man in foreign service in his day. Mr. Foster represented the United States upon more different missions of first rank than any other person, and was accordingly called by Chauncey M. DePew, “the handy-man of the State Department.” Andrew Johnson excepted, Foster served in one capacity or another under every president from Abraham Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt. Diplomacy was to Foster not merely a calling, it was a profession. This article, however, is concerned only with that part of his life spent in Indiana. Foster’s English ancestry may be traced to the hardy tradespeople on his mother’s side and to the staunch yeoman class on his father’s side. The strain of the depression which followed on the heels of the Napoleonic Wars in England, fell most severely upon the middle class, great numbers of whom migrated to America.

  • George Edmunds of Vermont: Republican Half-Breed
    As much as any U. S. Senator of the post-Civil War genera­ tion, George F. Edmunds represents the character, ideas, and influence of a particular wing of the Republican Party.... George Edmunds of Vermont: Republican Half-Breed By RICHARD E. WELCH, JR. AMONG the major New England politicians of the post-Civil War J-\. generation, one of the more elusive is George F. Edmunds of Vermont. A United States senator torm 1866 to 1891, he was recognized by leaders of both parties as one of the hardest workers iri the senate and perhaps its ablest constitutional lawyer. After his retirement from politics, he was a highly successful corporation lawyer, a prominent spokesman for the Anti-Imperialist movement of 1898-1900, and a family monarch until his death in 1919 at the age of ninety-one. His was a full and an active life, but it has received little attention from historians. There exists no biography of Edmunds, nor even a biographi­ cal notice later than the publication of the Dictionary of American Biography in 1931. He has faded into the shadow-land reserved for the footnote figures of American history. One reason for this is the absence of a collection of "Edmunds Papers." There is a strong correlation between the size of a man's documentary legacy and the fascination he holds for historians. Ed­ munds left orders that all his personal papers be burned upon his death, and they were. There are, of course, other possible reasons for Edmunds' neglect by the historical profession. The biographer who seeks a colorful subject would not find Edmunds attractive.

Manuscript Document Signed (“Abraham Lincoln”) as President, with his Autograph Endorsement (“Approved. February 1, 1865.”) Washington, D.C., ca. February 1, 1865. Co-signed by Hannibal Hamlin as Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate, Schuyler Colfax as Speaker of the House, and John W. Forney as Secretary of the Senate. 1 p., 15 1/16 x 20 in., on lined vellum with ruled borders. #22159 This amendment, outlawing slavery and involuntary servitude, was the first substantive change to America’s conception of its liberties since the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791. After signing the original resolution on February 1, Lincoln responded to a serenade, and to questions about the legality of the Emancipation Proclamation and prior efforts to eradicate slavery, by saying that the amendment “is a king’s cure for all the evils. It winds the whole thing up.” Transcript: A Duplicate.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
