PRESENT CONGRESS
BREAKS RECORD
ON BILLS
MORE INTRODUCED THAN
DURING LAST SESSION
Until June 8, 1923 Measures
Were Presented in House and
$500 in Senatei Pensions
Also Ahead of Last Time.
Morning Journal Bureau,
61S Munsey Building,
Wa chlnotnn- ID q Innn II

Although congress appears to nav
done little at the current session. ii
has really broken all records in the
matter of bills introduced, bills re-
ported from committee bills pass
ed. Figures in the file room of the
house show that at this session alone
nearly as many bills have been intro
duced as we're introduced in the whole
of the last congress, and the indica-
lions are that before congress adj
%iourns, even if adjournment is had by
the end Of June, that this sessions
bills will exceed those OF the entire
SiXtieth congress.
in the Sixtieth congress approx
mately $4,000 bills of all kinds were
introduced in the house. During the
current session of this congress, bring
Ing the figures down to June S, just
2G.623 bills have been tossed into the
basket on the speakers desk. In the
senate about $500 have been present.
ed. There nave been 1875 resolutions.
In the house approximately 10000
bills have been reported, while the
records show that the bills passed by
tho house number $50.
There were many omnibus bills of
all sorts this year. particularly the
thirty-four pension bills, under each
OF which were blanketed anywhere
from ten to $50 separate private bills.
There were omnibus bridge bills, ON
nibus lighthouse bills, and omnibus
territory bills.
The pension bills are far in excess
Of previous records. The reason is
that those entitled to pensions are
dropping off so fast that both the in
dividual ana regular pension commit
tees are becoming more lenient and
are getting support in their attitude
from congress.
The growth in the number of meas
ures introduced in congress Is attrlDu
table by close observers at the capital
to the increase in the business of I'M
Gle Sam. Up to the Fifty-sixth con-
gress, when the republicans gained
control of the house, no congress ever
handled more than 5000 bills. The
number has beer increasing rapidly
ever since that time.
The acquisition of the Philippines
and Porto Rico, the construction of
the Panama canal, the increase in
railroad building necessitating the
passage Of hundreds Of bills for rail-
roa bridges across n%avigable streams:
the development Of conservation poll
cic-; river and harbor work, public
buildings, and 9 hundred and one 9th
or kinds OF public works are the
causes.
That public works are in a large de-
gree responsible for the immense
amount of legislation done in congress
during the present session is shown by
tho fact that of all the bills passed,
49, are public bills. 80 private bills.
33 resolutions. and two private rcso-
lutions.

COMPLIMENTS TO

SPEAKER SPRINGS RULES
ON TROUBLESOME SENATOR
CounSeIIIng Insurgents in House
RiIeS Regulars and Uncle Joe.
Threatens TO Eject His Pet
Antagonist,
Morning Journal Bureau,
613 Munsey Building.
Washington. y. c., June 10.

Speaker Cannon came near order
from the floor of the house the other
day, and regular republicans insist
tnat he should have done so. As il
Aas, Uncle Joe administered a rebuke
that was Intended for Mr.. La Toilette
and the Wisconsin insurgent knew It.
1t has been the practice Of Senator
La Toilette at critical stages of the
Insurgents fight in the house to visit
the house chamber, and there give
counsel and advice to the republicans
arrayed against the regular organiza-
ton. He was on the job when the
big fight over the rules was waged
in the house in March and he put in
an appearance when the railroad bill
was taken up and a motion made 20
refer the measure to conference.
Regulars charge that Senator La
Toilette prompted the insurgents ~
rake the fight TO have the senate BIN
accepted by the house in opposition TO
the regular organizations desire to
send 1t to conference.
When the house met at noon Sena-
tor La Toilette entered the chamber
and touk a seat on the democratic
side. Insurgents joined him and there
was a conference. Congressman Len
fott. an insurgent and a political sup
porter of Mr.. La Toilette, led the fight
against the organization. In the course
Of the debate. which lasted for two
hours, insurgents consulted Mr.. La
Toilette from time to time.
Regular leaders noted what was CO.
ing on, and got very hot over It. At
enc point i'm the proceedings there was
much confusion in the chamber that
II was impossible for anyone to follow
the debate.
Rapping hard the sounding board.
Speaker Cannon called for order and
announced with some heat that If the
gentleman occupying Il seat on the
of the house by courtesy did not
cease conversation thai the rules
would lie enforced, Enforcement Of
the rules in this case would have
meant the election of some one, and
nobody doubted that Uncle Joe had
Senator La Toilette in mind. As he
spoke, Mr.. Cannon looked at Senator
LAT Toilette, and Mr.. La Toilette
looked ut Mr. Cannon. The Wisconsin
senator soon thereafter left the cham
bcr.
A couple of weeks ago Speaker
C'erpon visited the senate chamber. lie
iOined Senator Cullom there in con
vorsation while Mr.. La Toilette was
delivering a speech on the railroad
bill. Turning toward the speaker, Nh.
La Toilette said that he would desist
the conversation had been con-
Uncle Joe bit a big black
in two and retired to Il cloak
room.
This incident, together with Senator
Ia Follette's practice OF encouraging
the insurgents in their fights in the
house, It Is said, prompted Uncle joe
to call Mr.. La Toilette to order. Each
having publicly called the other down
IN their respective chambers, they
stand even.

Death in quick succession Of three

Pluto indian camp on the desert nca
the Nevada state line sealed the fate
of an aged Indian medicine man
known to the whites as Harry York.
He was slain by the father of the
squaws, assisted by several bucks.
Recently the Indian medicine man
of the camp was called to cure three
bucks and the four daughters of an
Indian chief known as old Bismarck.
In spite of all the calls to the sun
and the herb medicines the medicine

Of the patients set sail for the happy

He enlisted the services of his old

frankly told them of his intentions.
They gave grunts of assent ana went
for their firearms. In the meantime
old York had been warned that his
life was in danger and he set off
across the mountains in an effort to
escape.
Bismarck and his friends mounted
their ponies and set out in pursuit.
They overlook York after a long, hard
chase. Bismarck asked the fugitive to
walk about 200 yards into the brush
from the road and said. you kill my

knew from experience hat protest
would be useless and stood erect, fac

right to consideration from us on
the theory of non-partisan judiciary
by gerrymandering this Second APP
pellate district since Judge Settles
election. This district as il stood
at that time would be Republican
by at least 1900 majority and
should be represented by a Republic
can Judge. The removal of Monroe
county and the substitution of Hen
derson county makes a change of
about 1000 votes in favor of De-
mocracy and this was not done by
them in the interest of a non-parti-
san judiciary. We believe in a non
partisan judiciary, but there are two
ways of bringing this about, by
electing. especially is II difficult to
consider the question of dividing
the bench politically. A non-parti-
san judiciary can only be brought
about by concessions from both
parties and we are not willing that
the Republicans shall do all the con-
ceding. especially is II difficult to
concede anything in a district which
has SO recently been ripped up by
the Democracy In order to make a
safe Democratic majority.-Hartford

THE CHRONIC MINORITY

A political party, which remains
In the minority long enough for a
generation to grow up and become
leaders in II, that never felt the re-
sponsibility of governing, loses the
quality Of initiative and becomes the
catch all for every sort OF opposition
to the government. Every thief who
feels the halter draw, every decadent
politician. who loses his grip on a
good job; every crank with a theory
to exploit. every person. coterie and
organization. that cannot subscribe
TO the policies or methods of the
party in power, joins the chorus of
opposition to the government. and
curing the open seasons between
campaigns the opposition seems
united and formidable.
Il is then that the leaders of the
minority party always scent victory
II Is then that they cali attention to
the evidences OF the disrepute into
which the government party has
fallen-"the toiling millions are In
open rebellion" as one OF them re-
Gently shouted from the rostrum of
& state convention. But wait until
the campaign opens, and every1 fad
dist carries a plank to the platform
Of the opposition party; every crank
insists that his ideas be embodied in
the policies of the party else he will
not join; then IL Is the leaders of
the minority find that the only
point on which they are united is OPP
position to the party in power; but
that they are in opposition to one
another just as much.
1t is true that the average mans
political convictions are due to pre-
natal influences; but the strong
young man should spurn such weak
ness, align himself with the progress
sive policies of a party that does
things, and not waste his breath and
exhaust his mentality In futile and
often unpatriotic abuse OF his
government. When one party stays
in power many years by the will Of
the majority. either that party Isl
representative of its time and the
sentiments of the people, or the ma
Jority Dis wrong. II the majority is
wrong, then popular government is
failure. Chronic opposition is
pessimistic and destructive OF the
best qualities in a man. let us be
wholesome in mind and body, opti-
mlstic and help pull the load. not
holding back and adding our dead
weight to the burden of our fellow
citizens
