MILLIONS In rHlEVERY.

High finance is on a climb.
Unless a sudden check is
administered there is no tell.
ing where it will end. And
present day high finance is
nine.tenths thievery. The
looting of the New Haven
road. which has called forth
a scathing denunciation from
the Interstate Commerce com.
mission, is but a drop in the
bucket of dishonesty-and
the bucket is without a lid.
And yet the New Haven was
plundered of $50, 1000, 900 to
$50, 900, 900. When govern
ments wink at high finance
thieves they deal a body blow
at honesty, put a premium
upon stealing. And our
government for years has al
lowed these financial crooks
to steal and plunder under
it's very nose. They steal
millions and are immune from
punishment, while the poor
man who sneaked a sack of
-four spends his days rotting
in Jail. There may be no law
under which these pirates
may be punished, but con.
gress has the power to make
such laws. But if congress
sits tight, looks wise, talks
eloquently and does nothing,
then congress by it's supine-
ness and assininity becomes
an accessory to the wholesale
plundering Of millions of
helpless people. Yes, there
are fabulous riches in
thievery-and crumbs for the
honest man.

plate. There used to be a
fine old tradition that a new
senator should be seen but
not heard' during the first
Congress, but that has been
relegated to the scrap heap,
for the new senator does as
much, and sometimes more,
talking than his older col.
league. which necessarily
adds largely to the size Of
the record. Senator LaFol-
lette gave the record this
session a big boost, when he
had inserted a mass Of letters
and other matter sent to the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to influence its decision
in the advanced rate case.
That material filled 365 pages
and captured the champion
ship for putting the most
matter into the Record at
one time.

order changing the name of
Culebra Cut, Panama, to

The Congress now in ses.
sion has been the 'talkiest"
Congress in all history ac-
cording to an examination of
the statistics as to the CON-
parative volubility of the
members of this and preced.
ing Congresses. The Con-
gressional Record, up to this
date, contains about 14,00O
pages for the present session
which began the first Mon
day in December. The largest
record achieved in a single
session prior to this time was
in the regular session of the
fifty-ninth Congress. 1t met
in December, 1889, and con-
tinued to the first Of the
next October, 3O4 days. IL
filled a record of 10000
pages. It is generally
thought that the present
Congress will last at least six
or eight weeks longer, which
