considered. 1t is easily seen that this Is
no small task.
The present system employed for this
work Is the result Of manyyea OF COM
bined efforts on the part OF the various
indexers toward perfection. Prior to tina
time that Gen. Ordway, eopk up the wor.;
I'm 1884 the index was mbre bewtlderinr-
than a Chinese puzzle, and il used TO b.
a common saying that to ind a subject
in the Record was easier to start from
the beginning and search than depend on
the index.
With the adoption OF Gen. Ordway's
system there came some semblance OF
order. and improvements have been made
year by year until the present efficient
method was established. The present
indexer L. w. Strayer has recently in-
stalled two improvements that rival the
methods of first-class library.
To keep thorough track OF the thousand
and one subjects which appear In the
Record the indexers use a card system
which contains over 2,Jo0 separate cards.
Each daily issue is thus indexed on these
cards, both by the name Of the membet
introducing the bill or resolution and by
the subject OF the bill. Twice each week
each issue is read with eagle-like minuteA
ness, and any errors that may crop oue
are noted for the final revision for the
permanent Record. Thus, biweekly the
index, containing q complete history OF
any one bill. goes to the governmenc

ness, the distribution Of the daily Record
has swelled annually until II now reaches
the total of 2S.OJO. Prior to 1873 II was
almost impossible to get a copy except In
newspaper form. In the early years OF
Congress the Record. or Journal, as 1t
was then known. was kept by men who
might well be called scribes. since their
entries We're solely by hand. Most OF
these old Records were burned in the
destruction of the Capitol building in
1872. some of them were saved and are
now on exhibition in the Library Of Con-
gress showing their burned edges.
The present Record came out with its
first issue in 1873. It Is now on its
forty-eighth volume. containing an aver
age number OF pages of 500 to each. The
number of volumes to any one session.
therefore, depends on how much talking
occurs during that session. Up to a few
years ago they ran about five volumes
to each session, but. to keep pace with
the increase in all modern outputs. the
Congressional Record has also expanded,
and now numbers eight volumes to the
session.
The Record, in its final publication.
comes out in the form OF a permanent
publication. Before this is issued there
is final revision which sometimes
changes many features of the publication.

Of Congress each day, and because that

But they are all experts who handle this

about eighty people directly concerned in

One of the greatest improvements In the

Such service has brought the corps
down to clock-like precision, and they
take their work by turns. each member
being numbered, from one to six.
With the opening of Congress Report

Il
Dictation on the floors of either house
of Congress runs from about 125 words
to as high as $50 minute, varying with
the individual speaker and the heat of
the argument. Senator Beveridge was
noted and liked by the reporters for his
even and distinct delivery. Over in the

One has. perhaps. heard some member
rise on the floor and move that certain
things be expunged from the Record
In that motion he may include some er-
roneous remarks made by himself or he
may be doing a colleague favor by
asking that the passing of the lie or a
fistic encounter be extracted. Those
things don't look nice in print. and as
1t is the intention of Congress to pre-
sent clean bit of reading matter, the
request is usually granted.
There is, therefore. quite q distinction
between the daily Record and the perma-
nent Record. The latter is issued with
each volume, and 1t is In this issue that
the indexer gets in his work.
There is little force in one corner OF
the Senate Office building which, twice
each week, turns out complete index OF
the issues which have been published TO
date. When the great number OF sub
jects treated on in the publication are

that the Record is one OF the govern

he will also know, after the perusal Of
the first page or two. that his enthusiasm
begins TO wane and he enters upon
growing determination 10 lay it aside.
which eventually wins before he has read
another page.
This is so because for dead, unbouyani
reading matter the Record outclasses
Blackstones commentaries, although its
pages contain subjects that number FAR
up into the thousands in each session.
Its pages sometimes present the appear
