Senate clash over war talk and old Senate veterans
Senator Cullom chides talk of war with Japan as baseless and jokes about meeting Senator Perkins. New York money orders in 1906 totaled 430 million with 62 million sent abroad. Education spending in 1905 reached 377 million, about 26 percent of all government expenditures. Alabama senators Morgan and Pettus, aged 82 and 85, were set for new terms. An estimate claims 10 million American women do housework while others gossip at teas about hired help.
