The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1917-06-03

T. The L. 5. Senate a few days az,
witnessed an incident somewhat on
.of the ordinary. After the interview
of Senator Thos s. Martin of Virginia
showing the work OF the presen
Congress had gone the rounds OF tht
press. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
arose and paid the Virginia Senator
Z and Democratic floor leader the signal
honor to request that the newspaper
statement be Incorporated in the Con-
gressional Record. and no objection
was raised The review of Congress
work, as stated by Senator Martin.
follows.
The present extraordinary session
of Congress has been marked by a
greater volume of legislation and the
enactment OF measures of more mo-
rncntous import than have ever been
considered in any similar period in
the parliamentary history of the coun-
try. The criticism, therefore, that
has been leveled at the House and
Senate. growing out of the Impotence
TO place the country upon war basis
mt the earliest possible moment. In
my Judgment, Is unfair and indicates
u lack of appreciation or knowledge
OF the enormous amount of work
which the two Houses OF Congress
have performed.
Hardly Take Time to Sleep.
From April 2 to May IS there
were exactly as working days. ana
the mem bership OF this Congress has
scarcely taken time to eat or sleep
because OF the responsibilities which
the ~ar has imposed upon them 1t
must be remembered tina; 1t was a
new Congress that met in response to
the call OF the President, and that at
the very outset IL was confron.en

process ordinarily requiring time and
involving many contests. In the pres
ent instsnce, however, the committees
or both Houses were named on April
3, the work of selecting them having
been done during the vacation period
AT the special session Of the SEN
ate. Immediately preceding the extra
session of Congress, there was passed
a modified cioture rule under which
public business might be expedited
The adoption Of such a rule was ac-
complished within a. few days after its
a. result that could not
have been attained in any other
period of our history short OF months
of debate, IL at all.
No Delay In War Resolution.
On April 2 the German warfreso-
luton was introduced i'm the House.
and on April 6. or four days after the
assem bling or Congress, the Presiden
attached his signature to that meas

in the passage OF this resolution. per-
haps tho most important ever offered
whether in this or any other Con-
gfess
Since that time Congress has
passed appropriation bills OF enorm-
Gus magnitude for the conduct of the
war 1t has authorized the greatest
bond issue ever brought forward by
any government at a given time and
has proceeded far toward the enact
ment of other measures considered
necessary to equip the Government
for active participation in the war.

1T should also be noted that the

the Senate, where the Senate Commit

of attention to 1t. and will soon be
ready to report 1t to the Senate for
consideration
This summary does not take into
account the great amount of prelimi-
nary work in connection with pending
legislation. For instance, at this ses-
sion the Senate committees have made
81 reports on bills and resolutions,
and those of the House have made SO
reports. The Senate. moreover. has

This record Of achievement speaks
for itself. Congress owes 1t to the
country to carefully consider every
piece OF legislation which Is offered
whether 1t be important or not. Not
withstanding this, the past IS DAYS
have been crowded with action of far
reaching importance. and the next AZ
DAYS will probably find as much more
work behind us. The foundation al

BOIL WEEVIL IN FAYETTE

On one of the warm days of last
week Lamar Clay, who has just
moved to this city from the boil
weevil district in Georgia, found in
the weeds in j. A. McQueen's patch
here in the edge of town a lot Of boil
weevils which were, apparently, in a
thrifty condition, unframed by the
severe winter this section has suf-
fered. The weevils were shown about
town, confined in bottle where they
could be easily seen, and were gener-
ally pronounced as the genuine arti-
Gle. If the weather Of the past winter
has not killed them, there appears
little hope of cold checking their pro-
gress.-Fayette Falcon.

everything was done to make the
Mississippi boys feel at home.
Mr.. MERCER, coach of the Tunica
boys, called the game at 7;45, and the
ball was not long in finding it's place
in the Byars- Hall basket. The home
boys soon got a good lead and kept it
throughout the game. Eight points
were scored before the Tunica boys
ever tasted score and then they
never came nearer than seven points
of a tie. The Mississippians had a
good team, but they were simply OUT
weighed and outplayed. Their for
wards were accurate goal shooters
whenever they got the ball, but this
privilege was seldom granted them.
l.. Green, for the visitors, proved the
pest player and the guarding Of Den
by was worthy of mention. Had he
been little faster, he would have
proven a great handicap to Owen.
The Byars- Hall boys made this last
game almost, if not, the best of the
season. Moore played his first game
at forward, taking the place of Shoaf,
who is suffering with scalded hand.
Moore and Owen threw seven field
goals each. They worked together
we'll and gave their guards much
trouble. Mcbride and Hurts we're on
the job at guard. The latter was
hardly up to his usual standard be-
cause of bruises and minor injuries
from practice.
L. Dennis comes in for his share of
the praise. This is his last year in
high school and it is with much regret
that the coach and team give him up.
No man who ever wore the purnle and
gold has played more consistently
than has Big Dennis. He has dis
played good judgment in giving sig
mails and can always be depended
upon to give them all he has.
1t is with feeling of no little sad
ness that the basketeers place their
suits in the attic and let the ball rest
until the whistle calls them to arms
again in the fall. Although they
have not won every game, they have
been right in the battle every time
and the rapid improvement they have
made within the past two months
gives a good indication of winning
team for next year All of the team
members are expected to return, with
the exception of Dennis.
A summary of the seasons work is
given below. Out Of seven games
played, four have been won:
