CONGRESSIONAL RECORD IS
FRIGHTENED WITH PICTURES.
Senator Bacon's Eferts to PopuInrize
This Privileged Paper Crowned
With Success.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Bacon's ef
forts to brighten up and popularize the
somewhat dull. but privileged, publication.
the Congressional Record, have been
crowned with success.
The Record appeared on "Wednesday
morning as an illustrated paper. 1t has
been frequently filled with diagrams, but
on the morning in question 1t came out
with three beautiful pictures calculating
point made by Representative Bell of Col
orado in one of his electrifYfng speeches
in the House.
Mr.. Bells speech was in advocacy of Il
resolution forbidding the use OF any Gov
ernment building or Government property,
except the Capitol and the White House,
for any of the ceremonies attending the
Inauguration of n President of the United
States. He introduced the resolution be-
cause. at the last Inauguration of President
Mckinley. a grand stand was erected along
gateway leading to the State, War and Navy
building. The grand stand took fire and the
granite pillars were ruined.
1t was decided that they must be re-
placed by the local Committee on Inaugural
tion. but influence has prevented the Gov
ernment from enforcing this claim. Rep
reseEtative Bell in telling the HouSG about
it said that he could not explain Nlly the
damage that the gate had sustained, but
he would put pictures of the gate before
and after in the Record.
Some of the members of Congress who
are jealous of the popularity of widely cir
cuated newspapers. think the Government
should be more progressive with its official
newspaper and advocate the introduction of
color printing. Some Of them wanted n
comic supplement. but 1t was explained that
the Record was sufficiently comic now since
