THE RECORD HAS BEEN
BROUGHT UP TO DATE.

That stirring chronicle and brief abb
stract of the time, The Congressional
Record, has taken steps to freshen up
its news pages. The pulsations of en-
terprise are beginning to throb through
its entertaining columns. While the
venerable periodical has not yet reach
ed the point of introducing scare heads
and illustrations, these may come
later. At all events a rule has been
adopted providing that the proceedings
OF the Senate shall be given the place
of honor on the first page, followed
Immediately by the proceedings of the
House, and if any gentleman wishes
to revise his remarks for publication
later he must be content with a
position at the end of the Record.
1t would be rather extreme to saw
that some of the speeches, as they
finally appear in the Record bear about
as much resemblance to those actually
delivered as did the halting oratory of
Tittlebat Titmouse, NJ. p, compared
to the smooth oration which appeared
in Hansard. 1t is no secret that the
split infinitives sre welded together
and the misquotations corrected in the
The Washington times., 1911-08-10

quietude and leisure implied by with
drawn for revision"
But it comes to light that in with
holding their remarks shrewd states
men, with just appreciation OF the
relative value of the first page, have
withheld their remarks, not so much
to secure their revision as to provide
that they might be Haunted before the
readers eyes on the initial page. 1t
was a play for position and not a
veneration of pure English.
Behind this little device turks the
implication that the Record is not
read from cover to cover by every con-
stituent. This in itself was refec-
ton upon the great repository of wis
dom which deserved a practical rebuke
Is it not true that the demand for
the Record is such that an edition OF
a million copies day, at nominal
subscription price, has been contem-
plated! The gems of thought of purest
ray serene would come to light though
buried in the dark, unfathomed caves
of the inside pages or even tthe last.
The common practice of Withholding
remarks for revision was not only a
reflection on the Record as a whole,
but it was an injustice to the Ameri-
can people who pant as the hart for
the waterbroeks to get at these jewels
of thought as soon as they fall from
the pentecostal lips of our inspired
orators. The managing editor of the
Record has therefore acted with proper
frmness and dignity in giving pre-
cedence to these revised remarks.
Congressional oratory cannot be i'm
proved by a second coating of the mid
night oil, and henceforth the only way
to get on the front page of the great,
periodical is to win a seat in the
Senate and be first in the morning to
catch the presiding officers eye.

MR.. MUNSEY PRAISES
THE EVENING TELEGRAM

/ ing an outdoor people, and no longer
give up their Sundays to reading.
Many people go to church. and
others find relaxation on the golf links
the tennis court, or in long walks OF
automobling." he continued. But,
with the exception OF the few, Sunday
is not the stop-at-home day that it used
to be. Consequently. there is less read
ing done. But when night comes people
gather in their homes. Shops. theaters.
and places of amusement are closed,
and there is nowhere else to go. 1t is
then that men and women have time to
read, and are in the mood for reading.
They want a record of the day, and in
the Sunday evening edition they get it.
Another reason for the Sunday even
ing issue Is that 1t is important to ad-
vertisers, and the advertisements of a
newspaper are the most important news
to the housewife. The Sunday evening
vertiSer in that it is twelve hours
nearer the purchasing point than the
Sunday morning newspaper. The fewer
pages in the Sunday evening edition
correspondingly increase the Importance
of the advertising, as that aids to bring
1t more forcibly and surely TO the at
tention of the reader.
Value of Advertising.
Advertising is not only essential
news to the reader, but is essential
in the way of revenue to the newspaper
selling at the price at which news
papers sell today. Because of the
greater leisure for reading Oh Sunday
night than on any other night of the
week, it is apparent that the advertis-
ing in this iss, } should be most valu-
able
while the market place is closed on
Sundays and no record of transactions
in the marts of trade and in banking
circles is published, yet, on the other
hand, this is the business day of the
week with the churches, and a record
of what has been done and is being done
by the churches ranks in importance
with the records of the market place.
1t is for these reasons" was the con-
cIusion, that I predict great popular
and financial success for the Sunday
afternoon editions Of the Evening
Telegram. I cordially congratulate
that newspaper on grasping its oppor-
tunity."

SENATOR RAYNER IN THE
MARYLAND CONTEST.

Senator Isidor Rayner has come out
squarely in favor of the nomination of
Blair Lee for governor, and against
the re-establishment of German
hierarchy in Maryland. The senior
Senator suggestively notes that he has
heard of combinations designed to de-
feat his own reelection to the Senate,
and says he will give any such ar
rangements his attention at the proper
time.
This note in. the Rayner defiance
makes plain how big are the issues in
volved in this campaign. 1t has been
suspected from the beginning that the
election of German to the governorship
would be followed by a determined
effort to place the entire State ad-
ministration under machine control.
Rayner and Smith, as Senators, are of
decidedly different types. Smith is the
German sort; the true Interest"
Senator; a good fellow" in all per-
sonal and political relations, but the
representative of business rather than
public concerns. Rayner is, on the
other hand, one of those Senators of
whom even their critics are forced to
admit that they vote right"-right,
that is, as judged by progressive
standards.
Maryland now sees German, Smith,
and the machine arrayed against Lee,
Rayner, and independence. The fight
is one of the most important Maryland
has ever known. The defeat of Lee
now will not unlikely mean the rejec-
tion of Rayner and the succession of
German to the national toga later on.
With Smith and German in the
Senate, Maryland would be about as
sadly misrepresented a State as there
is in the Union. Saving New Hamp-
shire, whose tory delegation in the
upper chamber is quite the ne plus
ultra, it is difficult to pick State
whose real interests are so hopelessly
misrepresented as those of Maryland
would be by the combination of Smith
and German.
1t is up to Maryland to make, on
August 90, decision that will reach
to the next decade, at least, in her
affairs.

EQUIP STREET CARS
WITH AIR BRAKES

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The statement in.The Times of recent
date that the street railway companies
should be required to have their cars
equipped with air brakes is quite right.
Air brakes are much better than hand
brakes, and for that reason street rail-
way companies in other cities have their
cars equipped with air brakes.
If you will Just ask through the coll
umns Of your paper each and every time
there is an accident in which sorae
one is injured or killed by a street car,
why the street railway companies do
not equip their cars With air brakes,
think you will he able to get the cars
