and raids to allow the operation of its

But more important reason, and
one that may have faT-reaching con
sequences. is the increased silver
coinage in Europe ana the zeal with
which the masses put the coins out OF
sight and allow the paper to circulate.
When Germany, by force, and France,
by persuasion, gathered in all the gold
available, they would liked to have is
sued only paper money for circulation,
but governments have to consider the
habits and preiudices of the people.
So along with the enormous increase
in paper money they had to coin much
more silver. That has an intrinsic
value, whatever the terms of peace,
while paper money may suffer many
unhappy things. SO the people put
away the silver. and the demand for it
increases. Gold still circulates in
England, but there, too, the silver
coinage is much larger than formerly.

Congressional Time Can Be Saved, Also Money, by Cutting Gallery
 and the Record.
ORATORS ARE POSING
Try to Make Effect and Talk More Than They Should to Get It
 Taken Down.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-speak- CT Clark said today if Congress wanted to clean the legislative slate and so home next March 1, he gladly would join in movement to eliminate useless oratory by cut ting down gallery space and abol- ish the Congressional Record and to introduce voting machines.
 "It isn't difficult to see that the galleries and the Record cause an awful waste of time and money " the speaker declared today as he paused in his efforts to outline a plan whereby a sessions work can be done In 60 legislative days.
 Any time that the galleries are full the orators on the floor are posing and wasting time. And ev- erybody knows there are any number of Congressman who talk for the Record q great deal more than is ne- cessary.
 "The Record is not necessary. The English House Of Commons has none. A journal is kept. Dr. John son used to write 1t after the days proceedings were over. He simply recorded who spoke and which side they were on
 "I haven't much hope. though. that I'd receive much support if l started to make a fight for smaller galleries and no Record, so l won't start it. But there is hope that the present method Of taking roll calls will be abolished It is archaic and Q time waster"
 The Speaker also favors reducing the House from 495 to 300 members and holding 1t to that number.
 Minority Leader Mann expressed the view, and offered figures to sub- s:aItiate it, that under no circum- stances could the Democrats have a majority in the next House, but that there was a chance for the Republicans to have 21S members.
 He further said he was not wor- ry.ng about the Speakership and thought it would be much more fun to remain on his present job.
