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 $4,000 pages for the present
session. That many pages of the Rec
ord, in other words. have been filled
since the first Monday of last Deccm-
Der. In those pages may be found dis
cusSiOn of almost every subject under
the sun. from questions of internation-
al polity to garden seeds
The largest record achieved in Il
single session, prior to this time, was
in the regular session of the Fifty-first
congress. 1t met in December. 1899,
and continued to the first of the next
October. 30i days. 1t filled a record
of 1O,SOO 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 filled
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 i'll
it's 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
page is made up as compactly as pos.
sibe.
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, Il number of other
explanations can be made For one
thing, it is to he 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 Il 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 Me way of the elder statesmen
for year or so If he ventured Is
talk early in the game. as Albert
Jeremiah Beveridse of Indiana did
when he made his advent. and as La
Toilette, Cummins. and some of the
progressive minded senators did. he
was regarded as rude. The elder states
men hazed him by going to the cloak
rooms and saying mean things about
HIM
But that is so no more. The new
senator is allowed to talk as freely as
the senior. This adds TO the record.
Additional reasons might be given.
One factor is that the government is
getting bigger. more great subjects Of
legislation are pressing for attention.
and these subjects are productive Of
debate.

NO STATE TAX.
cause,

In the minds of the citizens of this
state, regardless of party or fractional
affiliations there seems to be con
census of opinion that the plan for cur
talment and revision of the expenses
of the state government, rs specified in
the platform issued by the candidates
associated with the John A. Awkward
ticket is the only sane. clear aud com
prehensive scheme and the best that
could possibly be devised for the cor
rection of the methods of the state
government which are now in force.
The fact that the platform of the
progressive Democrats of Wisconsin
embodes this popular and definite plan
for u reform that is a crying need sure
ly makes it positive necessity for all
Democrats to support the candidates
representing these ideas on the state
ticket.
This ingenious platform offers new
idea in wisconsin ideas" no state
tax plan that is practical-an idea in
economics and not in extravaganza.
There can be no question that the
people of this state will be generous in
their support of II plan that emhodies
an innovation in political government
that maintains u standard of efficiency
that is satisfactory in its ends and at
the same time casts only a fraction of
what the experimental operation de-
manded. The disposal of direct taxa
tion by the state and the use of fees
and licenses to defray the expense Of
the state government cannot but be one
of the most popular policies ever offered
in this state.
1t is this sane and appealing propo.
sition that is offered by the state Dem
ocratic organization headed by John A.
Awkward as the candidate for governor
and Paul o. Husting as the candidate
for United States senator
The promotion of such platform rs
is set forth by the regular Democratic

TO FIRE SAILORS FOR

Daniels Also Permits tackles
to Purchase Discharges.

Washington.-Sccre Daniels dras-
tic order calling for the abolition
of Imprisonment for deSertiOn from
the navy in times of peace has been
the subject Of general comment in
naval circles for several weeks. The
order provides for the summary dis
missal instead of imprisonment Of
bluejackets who overstay their leave
get intoxicated while on shore or com
nit similar breaches of discipline, and
for the honorable discharge of men
who want to quit the service by merely
refunding certain enlistment allow
anceS.
The new regulations, which are Il
radical departure from the methods
which have heretofore prevailed in the
navy. were issued in accordance with
referendum vote of the officers OF
the navy, Il majority of whom are
said to have favored the action. The
secretary stated he had become con,
WINGED that the general situation under
the old regulations in dealing with the
enlisted personnel who had not desired
to remain in the service was untenable
and not in keeping with modern bust
ness ideas.
The secretary added that the order
would result in the wedding out of the
navy "undesirableS" and raise the gen,
eral standard of the enlisted personnel
Figures prepared by the secretary
show that there are now 1000 men in
prisons and disciplinary barracks,

EVAN A. EVANS,

whose picture appears above, is the
Democratic candidate for Attorney
General at the September Primaries
He was once before nominated by the
Democratic party for this same office
and made the race III 1905. fle is run
ming on the Wilson Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Evans practices law at Baraboo,
Wis, where he has fought consistently
the cause Of democracy. He was "a
Wilson delegate to the Baltimore con-
ventiOn and now supports the Wilson
Democratic ticket in the state.
Mr.. Evans has had wide experience
in the law business, and his qualfica
tions for the Office are generally admit
ted. The civil service commission of
the state IN 1910 selected him as its first
choice from the lawyers Of the state
for the position Of First Assistant AT
torney General. This position Mr..
Evans declined and he still hopes to
hold down the position of Attorney

Mr.. KEARNEYS SPEECH.

Thomas M. Kearney, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator, delivered an eloquent
and able speech in front Of the Iowa
County Bank last Friday night. The
opportunity was great to declare the
achievements in Democratic statesman
ship under the Wilson administration
and TO explode some decisions in regard
to past Republican Legislation on the
tariff, the currency, and foreign com
merCe; and Mr.. Kearney was equal to
the opportunity. The central thought
of this portion Of his speech "a thought
which he drove home to his hearers,
was to hold up the hands Of President
Wilson and support him in faithfully
serving the people. 1t is good thought
and people everywhere ought to lay it
to heart.
But when Mr. Kearney tried to de
fend the Karel Kearney convention
wrongly called II Democratic conven-
ton, and sought to advance his own
candidacy by disparaRng his opponent,
Paul O. Husting, he descended to spec
ial pleading, not to say misstatement
and misrepresentation. 1t il impossi
Bile to fairly present Senator Hustings
record and not make out Il strong case
for his election to the United States
senate.
Mr.. Kearney sought to deal John A.
Awkward an indirect blow by striking
at his friend Joseph +. Davies. He
found fault with Mr.. Davies for writ
ing II letter to Democratic members Of
the legislature commencing them for
supporting certain measures which
Senator LA Toilette now declares were
indefensible. Mr.. Davies has the cour.
age Of his convictions; and does not
dissemble nor trim his sails to catch II
passing breeze. All honor to him for
il. Since when has it become crime
for Democrat to differ with Senator
La Follette2
If the Democrats Of Wisconsin would
hold up the arms of President Wilson
let them support the Awkward Husting
ticket at the primary, The defeat of
that ticket would be noised abroad
through the land as n rebuke to the
national administration.
Sometime after Mr.. Kearney closed.
John G. Karel, candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for governor, fol-
lowed with II speech. 1t was late in
the night when Judge Karel arrived
from Platteville and we did not hear
him nor did we have the pleasure of
meeting him, although he kindly called
at The Democrat Office very early next
morning before starting out on his tour.
AS all good Democrats should, we are
doing all we can for his worthy oppo-
nent but, like all the rest of Mr., Ayl-
wards numerous supporters, we are
doing it in II fair and open manner, to
the advancement of the Democratic
cause.

Hints and Recipes from the Folio of
 a We'll Known Actress.

The following beauty hints, com piled by Miss Elizabeth Irving, one of the members of H. H. Frazee,s Lcn- don company, appearing in A Pair of Sizes, to be seen in the Davis theatre, Friday night. Nov. 2, are taken from recipes covering 8 period of several generations of the ancestors of this well known actress. their simplicity and moderate cost makes them worth while.
 ssThe most important of all food and drink being water. too much care can not be taken as to the water we drink. Some well known doctors have said too much cannot be taken and other doctors just as well known have said too much should not be. Miss Irving does not discuss the quantity, but she does advise as follows:
 @Put a half a pound of oatmeal in a gallon of water. stir thoroughly and permit 10 settle. It should be chilled before drinking. Never drink any, thing extremely hot or cold.
 "FTeckles will usually disappear af- ter a few applications of oatmeal wa ter mixed with lemon juice. mix half and half.''
 A most excellent cucumber lotion and nothing is better for the keeping of the skin soft and peach nke'- is made by mixing half a pint of cu- cumber juice with one and one-half ounces or uGOQGT1ZGQ alCOuOIS WlLA LWO drams of blanched almonds pulveriZed.
 Avoid excessive sweets if you would be sylphlike. The constant practice of deep or stomach breathing will produce perfect waist lines, prevent in- digestion and the ailments that are kindred to if.
 Excessively thin people, desiring to become plump or fat can often accom- pIish the desired result by eating a bowl of bread and milk nightly before retiring. Milk is most important factor in the attaining or retaining of beauty and cannot be used too free ly either as diet or for bathing the parts of the body that are frequently exposed to the air. Buttermilk beau tv. so famous in many localities of Switzerland, is attained by bathing the face, neck, bust and arms with this little used but~wonderfui fluid.
 ITO attain a perfect walk, or car riage, place book on the crown of your head and balance it there dur ing your morning exercises, or while doing your mornings housework. Never use a harsh brush Or strenuous " comb your hair As a matter of fact the best thing one can use when dress ing the hair is a velvet mitten and at all times permit the sun to filter through the hair, and reach the scalp at least a few moments daily"
