eooD,BY TO CONGRESS.

Ne matter how much unfinished
work congress may have left in its
oyeraowing pigeon holes, the adjourn
ment of the national legislature is re-
GREETED by few,
What is the basis for the feeling al
most of contempt with which so many
good citizens regard this historic body,
one of the foremost legislative assem-
blies of the World2
Probably one reason is that con
gress does not regard its own dignity
highly When congressman are seen
sitting with their feet on desl, lol-
ling in attitudes of disgust and con
tempt, when scarcely a dozen members
can be found willing to listen to able
speakers, are the galleries likely to
yenerate the statesmen who take them
selves thus as a joke?
Another reason is that the great
newspapers give so little space to re-
porting congressional debates. The
discussions of the British parliament
are fully reported by competent short
hand men. The average Washington
correspondent deyotes most of his at
tention to reporting the political
strife of cloak room battles and stra>
egy boards. If he wants to know what
happened on the floor, he gets some
congressman friend 70 give it frag-
mentarily over the telephone
One reason for this is that most of
the newspapers of the country are IL
Gated at a distance from Washington,
and telegraph charges are heavy. The
WASHINGTON naners give twice or three
fines as much space to congress as
other NEWSPAPERS of equal circulation

will be followed by a line Of red cab
bages; lettuce and lilies grow in per-
feet harmony side by side: archways
are covered with scarlet The
effect, however, is quite pleasing.
In many cases, too, the farmers take
advantage of the numerous springs on
the mountainside and build their COW
houses over them, thus ensuring a
constant supply Of water running
through the COW house. observed

SUGGESTION for New Halliday

Texas has an "onion day" Com.
menting on its observation, a New
Yorker said to a Galveston merchant:
The Lone Star state has the better
OF the Empire state, for we have no
vegetable or flower to which we do
fearful homage as you do to the frag.
rant onion. The fact is, we are open
to suggestions as to a new holiday.
The latest proposition in that line was
a moving day. Now, don't misunder.
stand the term. Those who move will
not celebrate; they will just move and
experience all the joys pertaining to
.tbat heart and Misunderstanding func-
ton. Those who will celebrate will be
the people who can look on..-New

while Randolph Mason in a dozen
sentences stated the gist OF the un-
