THE DOORS OF CONGRESS.

More than two months have passed
since the present session of congress
convened, and not a single piece of
important legislation has been passed.
fy that congress is deserving of the
criticism that the undertaking. mag
azines are heaping upon it for it's do
nothing policy. We say this advisedly,
because we read the Congressional
Record, and are consequently at least
partially informed as to the EFFORTS.
The 4S3 members of the two houses
of congress make to earn their $500
a year, 1925 a month, $20.S3 a day. For
instance there was one day that the
house came within an ace of passing
some legislation-came within an ace
of authorizing the committee on private
land claims to hire a colored messen-
ger janitor The Record tells us all
about it. The amount of philosophy on
ianitors developed during the debate
was something astounding. And if only
to show the reader how painstaking
and exacting congressman are over
even so small matter as a $15-a-
week colored janitor, we would like to
recite the innumerable parliamentary
points raised during the discussion.

Suffice to say that finally, according
to the official record, the question was
taken, and the speaker announced that
the noes seemed to have it,
Then came the following dilly daily
| ing, and the Congressional Record
shows that the house puts in hour af-
ter hour in a similar waste of time in
stead of giving attention to legislation
promised in the last republican nation
al platform:
Mr.. james, make the point of no
quorum.
The Speaker-There is evidently no
quorum present The doorkeeper will
close the doors, the sergeant at arms
will bring in absentees.
Mr. Payne-Mr. Speaker, / think this
will go over to another day, and l
move that the house do now adjourn.
Mr. James-Mr. Speaker, l withdraw
the point of no quorum.
withdraw the motion to adjourn.
The Speaker-The ayes have it. The
doorkeeper will open the doors.
Mr.. Fitzgerald-The chair has an
nounced that there is no quorum. Can
the house then do business?
The Speaker-The chair stands cor
rected. The doorkeeper will close the
doors.
A vote was taken aud the house re-
fused to adjourn.
The Speaker-The doorkeeper will
close the doors.
In order to secure a quorum the
sergeant at arms brought in 165 MEM
bers that were absent when the dis
cussion started
The Speaker-A quorum is present
The doorlkeeper will open the doors.
So the doors We're opened!
Had the congressional doors been
closed and opened once more it is very
probable the colored janitor would
have been legislated into position
