RADISHES REACH LOWEST
PRICE IN MANY SEASONS

The lowest price radishes have at
tanned for many seasons on the local
market was reached yesterday when
the municipal markets sold them at
only one cent per bunch. The cause
for this is the heavy rain of few days
ago which made the crop grow at
rapid rate. There is an excess of truck
generally this season and for that rea-
son prices have reached the lowest
stage in many years.

Especial to The Argus.)

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 1.-THE
] two Moline choruses, the Svea AND
! Olive, presented a striking appear
ance in the big parade which was q
feature of the annual gathering OF
Swedish singers. Male choruses from
many scores of cities throughout the
United States, coming from as far east
as New York City and Pittsburgh
were represented in the parade, and
they upheld the reputation of the
sturdy Swede when there is hard work
to be done under difficulties. The aft
ernoon was a sweltering one, with the
thermometer registering 95 degrees
in the Intermittent shade. occasioned
by gathering clouds.
The Moline singers appeared at
their best in the line of march, each
one CARRIED in white duck trousers,
white cap, dark coat and carrying a
mahogany cane with Moline pennant
attached. Gust Carlson, as standard
bearer, was supported by G. W. John
son and G. l.. Peterson as aides.
Great crowds lined the streets and
cheered the singers, there being from
500 to 700 in the march. Many of the
choruses enlivened the parade by
singing as they marched, one chorus
breaking into song just as another
ceased. The parade was led by a
squad of mounted police and the mill
tary band of Minneapolis provided in
spring march music along the way.
The soloists of the three big concerts
OF the sangerfest to the convention
rode at the rear.
A National Gathering.
Special cars conveyed the singers
and their many friends of the city and
visitors to Minnehaha park, where
impressive ceremonies were held in
connection with I he dedication of
the site selected for the Gunnar Wen
nerberg memorial monument. The
appearance of visitors from as far
east as Boston and New York. as far
west as San Francisco and Portland
and from the south as far as New
Orleans made the occasion truly a
national one.
Although the original plans for the
afternoons ceremonies were sadly
crossed by the failure TO receive the
statute of the great Swedish composer
in time for dedication this did not
lessen lHe entHuSldSn VI the NlSitOIS.
The dedication of the site took the
place of the scheduled unwilling and
plans are already under way for an
other big celebration next year, when
the statue will be erected. The site
selected for the monument is peculiar

CONGRESS MAKES
RECORD FOR TALKING
More Speeches Than Ever Be-
fore Are Made.

Washington. This is the most talka-
tive congress yet. The fact is shown
by an examination of the statistics.
The Congressional Record now con
tains over 1900 pages for the present
session. That many pages of the Rec
ord, in other words, have been filed
since the first Monday of last Decem-
Der. In those pages may be found dis
cussion of almost every subject under
the sun, from questions of information
al polity to garden seeds.
The largest record achieved in a
single session, prior to this time, was
in the regular session Of the Fifty first
congress- 1t met in December, 1889.
and continued to the first of the next
October, 304 days. 1t filled record
Of 10.S00 pages.
1t must be remembered, too, that the
present session Of congress is not over.
1t will last five or six weeks longer.
perhaps more than that
Something like 400 pages are filed
weekly. 1t is safe to predict that by
the time this session ends the Record
will contain well up toward 1900
pages. When the Record is bound in
its final form the number Of pages will
be to some extent fewer. This is be-
cause In making up the permanent
Record some of the formal features Of
the daily record are omitted and each

sble
Why is it that congress is getting
more talkative? Various explanations
are made. One might draw the con-
clusion that the representatives of the
people are getting more voluble and
excitable, like the French, for instance.
Leaving aside the question of any
change which may be coming over the
American character, number of other
explanations can be made. For one
thing, it is to be remembered that the
size Of the house was much increased
in the last reapportionment Congress
is entitled, therefore. to do a little
more talking.
Moreover, now that senators are
elected by direct vote, they feel it
necessary to do more talking for the
benefit of their constituents, and they
introduce more matter into the record
in way of letters, clippings, etc.
Again. there used to be a fine old
tradition that new senator should
be seen but not heard. He was sup
posed to sit silent in his seat and OBJ
serve the way of the elder statesmen
for year or so. If he ventured to
talk early in the game, as Albert
Jeremiah Beveridge of Indiana did
when he made his advent. and as La

have been made with Director Roberts
Of the mint by the National Woman
Suffrage association. 1t was announc-

director has promised that when the
precious metal Is collected he will fur

representative of the association value
received in gold and silver money fresh
from the dies.
On day yet to be named the metal
will be presented by a committee rep

intendent of the mint at Philadelphia,
who will determine its actual value for
coinage. He will then place that sum
to the credit Of the association, leaving
1t to the officers to decide whether they
will receive it by check, gold, silver or
notes.
The fund realized by this melting
pot" plan is to be used in the suffrage
campaigns in Montana, Nevada, North

and Ohio. The women hope to secure

powers participated. This would only
include the expenses of conducting the
warfare and would not include the loss
sustained by relaxation in all busi-
ness and commercial life of the cont.
nent.
The crisis is only an excuse for war
after twenty-five years Of jealous ma
tired between Austria and Servia. 1t is
a gigantic struggle between Slav and
Teuton. The two countries have irri-
tated each other for centuries. A war
between these two countries is surely
bloody and horrible, but nothing com
pared to the result of Germany and
Italy upholdiug their alley, Austria,
and opposing Servia's friends France
Russia and England
1t is the triple alliance against the
triple entente. Russia, France and
England compose the triple entente.
This has been in existence for several
years. Likewise the principals of the
triple alliance have been in existence
for years.
The tremendous increase of Russia
saves the triple entente from being
overwhelmed in numbers by the triple
alliance. Germany alone has three
fourths as many inhabitants as Great
Britain and France together, and Aus
tria and Italy add roundly 86,000,000
to this number. The great population
Of Russia however, brings the total
strength Of the triple entente to 253,
100000 against 152,00o,ooo for the tri-
pie alliance.
The assassination of Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand and his wife was the
spark that has kindled into fame the

and Servian hatred Shocking as that
