 IdTC fin Fast Haven


 After camping at the East Haven rife range for week the light artil- lery of the Second regiment returned to the city last night and their ap- pearance was enough to convince any one that the week had been a hard one for the soldier boys and that the 10S men were kept at work all dur ing the week The light artillery con- sists of 10s men, and so horses were used during the work. The men were not particularly delighted with the grounds that were selected for camp ing and claimed that there was no water nor any other kind of thirst quencher to be had and that aside from the fact that there was plenty of drilling things in general were pret- ty dull at the range.

Campaign Speeches and the Record

Why should not Congress be honest
with itself In the matter of publication
of campaign material in the form of
speeches supposed to be delivered in the
House and Senate? II is doubtful whether
many people are really fooled by the
fiction that the leave to print addresses
which are now appearing in the supple
rn.rltary Congressional Record were actu-
lilly rendered in the course of debate.
The intelligent voter by this time clearly
understands the situation and knows that
hundreds Of tho so-called congressional
speeches are delivered only in the hearing
OF an ananuensis.
If Congress so wishes, there is nothing
10 prevent the institution of a system
Of speech printing at the public expense
under certain rules and regulations as to
length and number. without the use of
The Congressional Record as the vehicle
for this sort OF political pabulum. The
Congressional Record should be what its
title indicates. an actual record of pro-
Seedings. and nothing else. II should
serve Il reflection of what has Oc-
Cured on tho floors Of the two houses AT
official pEonograph, so TO speak. OF the
proceedings. For rhetorical purposes
however. the Congressional Record al
many sessions has become seriously mis-
leading. not only in the inclusion Of
speeches that were never delivered, but
in the editing of remarks of senators
snd representatives. OF course, II is DE-
"irable that the rough edges of debate
should be snloothed down now and then

The sizc and difficulty stand confessed in

No ono can deny that the measure

They had I'll but abandoned the subject
sor the session, when shrewd counselS
prevailed. Mr.. Cannon came to the
rescue with all the experience ~ his

thing very much better than makeshift
