loquacious country. No wonder the
members wanted to adjourn. OF course
all these words were never really spo-
ken. They were placed in the Record
under '1eave to print" But If even a
major fraction of that ocean Of talk
went over the congressional dam since
last December, 1t is a wonder that the
whole United States is not swamped in
the verbal overflow.
We must not overlook the investiga-
tions. These extended all the way
from LOrimer to the steel trust, Incl
dentally taking in the sugar trust, the
beef trust the money trust, the Titan
ic disaster, the various departments
of the government and presidential
campaign funds since 1900 The COM
mittee investigating the steel trust
made its report or, rather its reports,
for several of the minority members
went 1t alone. This inquiry has borne
fruit in government case against the
Steel corporation. The sugar trust
committee recommended a reduction
of the sugar tariff. The money trust
inquiry stirred up the Brazilian coffee
scandal and has other things yet In
store, there now being an effort TO get
access to the books OF the national
banks. The beef trust probe has only
started, but may be depended on to
turn up something later. Meanwhile
the price of meat continues to rise.
The investigation of the departments
at Washington turned up few good
newspaper stories, especially in the
bureau of chemistry, but now that
Wiley is out the bureau OF chemistry
interests us no more

TPEAKER CHAMP CLARK Is au
- thority for the statement that the
4 second session Of the Sixty sec.
ond congress put in more actual
working time than any session in his
tory. Anyway, it lasted long enough.
That motion is passed unanimously.
Any session that starts in December
and keeps it up till dog days should
be canned. II gets ON the nations
nerves. Moreover. when we are in the
middle of a presidential campaign we
cannot be bothered by congressional
side show. Things become warm
enough without hot air mill working
overtime.
The concrete results Of all this labor
are not imposing, although some of
them are important. Several tariff
bills were successful in the house, but
came into violent collision with large
body in the White House. Two of
them passed both houses, but were We
toed, which discouraged the senate
from enacting any more. The lower
house succeeded in passing the two
over the presidents veto, but the sen
ate baked. So died the hope Of tariff
revision in this congress. The tariff
board was killed by rider on an ap-
preparation bill The senate tried to
bury the corpse of Canadian reciproc-
ity that "Our Lady of the Shows" had
done to death. but the house evidently
thought that the cadaver might be res
urrected and refused TO let the funeral
take place.
The session just closed did large
business as canning factory, having
tied the little tin emblems of its regard
to the Russian treaty, to Senator Lori
mer and TO the tariff board, as already
set forth. Efforts We're also made to
can General Leonard Wood and the
commerce court, but the president in
terpoSed.

ing for the popular election of United
States senators passed both houses of
congress by the requisite two-thirds
vote and now goes to the state legisla-
lures, threefourths of which must rati-
fy before the amendment Is adopted.

ly tie the little cylindrical emblems to
