The Record to Be Purged.

The House of Representatives stands before
the country as defying the laws of Congress in
printing matter which the statutes bar from the
United States mail, and it is not surprising that
many members have demanded that the speech
Of the Hon. Cyclone Davis of Texas, printed in
the Congressional Record yesterday morning,
shall be expunged from the permanent record.
This speech, never delivered on the floor, but
published under the rule of extension of remarks
of a character to condemn any newspaper or
periodical in the eyes of the public and cause the
Postmaster General to exclude such publication
from the mails.
Strange as it may appear to intelligent men,
this speech bears the title "Amerieanism and
Patriotism" and pretends to be in the interest OF
private moral purity and public virtue an arraign-
ment of the public press for its misre presentation
Of men in public life. But it was filled with such
vulgarity and indecency as to raise the question
whether the author should be hailed before a
lunacy court or the vice squad. Mr. Davis thank
ed God there is paper in the United States
which tells the truth about Congressman and in
which they give the people the truth untarnished
and in which they can expose the peoples enc
mics" He referred to the Congressional Record
which did not belong in the category of "thc
kept press" and then he wrote the Record down
to a plane of ndecency such forty years ago
compelled Congress to revise the postal laws to
exclude improper matter from the mails.
The apparent purpose in placing this speech
in the Record to make it frankable matter
TO be sent free through the mails broadcast over
the country, to go into the homes where there
arc women and children who would be compelled
to secure dictionary of vugarty and obscenity
to be able to comprehend just what Mr.. Davis
thinks about the public press, the money trust
the opponents OF prohibition and other enemies
Of the people. And yet not even Representative
Davis would be permitted to send that vulgar
diatribe through the mails as frst-class matter
fully prepared with 2-cent stamps.
Some who pose reformers have peculiar
conceptions to what is clean and what is I'm
clean. In the OF patriotism, purity and
prohibition they violate all the laws of deccncv
and all the statutes for the protection OF private
virtue. 1t is unfortunate for the so-caled reform
country, that they should so often be imposed
upon by men who cannot distinguish between the
untarnished truth as presented in the Congress
sional Record. and as printed in the old Police
Gazette.

Meeting Peril with Peace Talk.

With pitiably small force of American soldiers
engaged in perilous task in foreign country
and with our Southern border inadequately pro-
tected for want of men and munitions Senator
Works. OF California, addressing the Senate yes
terday on Preparations Cor Peace" declared;
No more unfortunate, no more dangerous time
Tor even considering thinking of preparation
Tor war than this could have been chosen" With
practically the entire land forces of the United
States called into active service as the result of
an invasion of territory and the murder of our
citizens; with the position of Gen. Pershing and
his soldiers daily becoming more hazardous, and
with the country unprepared adequately to re-
enforce him should sudden emergency arise, SEN
ator Works could see mo present necessity for
any considerable increase of our standing army,
if any" He could only see the great corpora
tons and fnanciers OF the country and men en-
gagged in foreign trade and commerce" using their
money for the purpose of "subsidzing newspapers
and magazines and financing the campaign OF
fear that has set the nation wild with apprehen-
sion OF danger that exists only in magma
ton"
And to give time for such babble the Senate
put aside Mr.. Buchanans resolution authorizing
the President TO issue call for $4,000 volunteers
whose services the nation may have dire need Of
before many weeks elapse. Fully informed as to
all Of the needs of the Mexican situation the
people may be depended upon to give the right
value to Senator Works words. They will pray
that disaster may not come to Pershine and his
men, but should the not unexpected blow fall
in Mexico while Congress sits complacent, lending
eager ear to those who proclaim that all is we'll
because they look further than today, and pro-
viding neither men, money munitions for the
support Of the men who have been sent to avenge
the nations wrongs, the darkest page in Ameri-
history will have been written.

Monday to all residents of Virginia or the Dis

new bridge, and while it is too much to expect
that there will be perfect accord, it yet may be
hoped that there will be no protests or objections
serious enough to constitute an obstacle in the
way OF an important and urgent undertaking for
the common welfare. After all it is not Of vital
importance to the general public whether the
Washington approach to the new bridge is by
way of c street, H street or NJ street. What is
of vital Importance is the new bridge, and its
exact location may safely be left to the dctermi-
nation of the War Department and the District
Commissioners. Citizens can accomplish nothing
by too emphatic urging Of their views at Mon
days hearing. They can further the project, how
ever, by imprcssing upon members of Congress
