Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1908-04-02


John d. and his like never before re-
ceised. In this way. he thinks, he
ought to stop that revolt back in XII
wash In the course of one or two
days the Congressional Record win
announce under the usual heading:
Speech Of Hon. Hotairibus Bunk of
Kansasota, in the house of represen-
tatiyes, Wednesday. March =" fol-
lowed by fifteen pages of remarks"
of the Hon. Mr.. Bunk. three lines of
which We're actually delivered.
That in itself seems suficlently
saffron stunt for any official journal
to be guilty of--certainly no news
paper would say that Hon. W. ]. Bry-
an had delivered speech in Douglas
on day when everybody knew he
was not there. But that isn't half of
It. When the speech reaches the
hands of those of the "editorial'' de
partment who revise the copy and
prepare 1t for the Record, some one
clerk, or perhaps the Hon. Mr.
Bunk Sandwiches in after every par
agraph or so the parenthetical ex
preston, applause" If the Hon. Mr..
funk thinks one paragraph especially
good or thinks that it would make
an especially good impression at
home he has placed after it the ex-
preston "yociferous applause" or
maybe only prolonged applause.
Then perhaps the Hon. Mr.. Bunk will
reach sub-climax after a period OF
comparatively dry> stuff. Here the
| parentheses tell us is renewed ap-
plause" If his remarks are humor-
Gus such parenthetical inserts as
loud applause and laughter" literally
punctuate the Congressional Records
story of his speech.
But maybe, there Is some honesty
in the Records parentheses. Maybe
hte linotype operator, when be
reaches the remarks of Hon. Mr.,
Bunk, actually gets up from his ma.
chine and in appreciation of what
has been said for the laboring man
applauds the statement ha has just
"set," which applause, being commun
icated to other printers, rings out in
prolonged cheers through the i'm
mense confines of the big composing
room. Maybe the clerk who handles
the copy-if it be done by clerk
comes upon something funny in his
remarks" and must simply stop the
while She is giving vent to the funni
ness of her feelings. This is a posi-
Bile explanation of the system, but
even at that it's a little yellow in the
old Record
| OF course in dine time the Record
reaches the Office of the Daily Howl
Ye editor. between whites as he calls
his subscribers attention to the fact
: that he has all the pumpkins his wife
can use, peruses the Record, and witt
unrestrained joy reads that his friend
Bunk, whom the Howl had supported
for congress, made three speeches Il
one day, each one of which was ap
plauded loudly and long. He though
that Bunk must have been in might.
: good humor that day. He-the edi
! tor-never thought much of Bunk a
( funny man but he must have beef
: wrong, for the Record was just full
: of applause and laughter" in report
; ing Bunk's speech.
s Immediately and while he is ye
l. none the less inspired ye editor write
t a lengthy editorial, in which he tell
# of the great triumph of Bunk j
d Washington-three speeches in on
d day and all of them greeted wit
It prolonged applause in the lowe
house of the most learned, the mo:
p profound legislative body in tn
n world"
Isl The Howl circulates among tn
el yeomanry and peasantry, the simpl
n Iifers and the strenuous ones, ii
IS malefactors of vast wealth and of Ii
Il tie wealth, the undesirable either
IS and the best citizens,-and they a
+ agree that Bunk is a wonder. tt
If revolt is put to rout and Bunk r
Ie turns to congress.
,el Really, hasn't the dear old Recor
eel got the rainbow skinned?
