the Congress has done more substan-
tive work for good than any Congress
has done at any session since | be-
came familiar with public affairs.
The Legislation has been along the
lines OF real constructive statemanship
OF the most practical and efficient
type. and bill after bill has been en-
acted into law, which was of an i'm
portance so great that it is fair to
say that the enactment of anv of
them alone would have made the ses-
sion memorable; such, for instance.

the bill for free alcohol in the arts,
the consular reform bill, Panama ca
nal Legislation, the joint statehood
bill and the naturalization bill. |

right to feel profound satisfaction

its record with that of any previous
Congress in our history, not alone for
the wisdom. but fo rthe disinterest-
ed high-mindedness which has con-
trolled its action. 1t is noteworthy
that not single measure which the
closest scrutiny could warrant us in
calling of doubtful propriety has been
enacted, and on the other hand no in
