Wilson'S Action.

President Wilson's part in congress
sional matters Is set out by a list OF
notable dates, including his approval
Of history-making laws and his numer-
Gus addresses, It is shown that for
the first time laws were signed in a
foreign country; that for the first time
a measure-a ven bill-was signed
on a railroad train; that for the first
time a president had addressed the
senate i'm favor OF woman suffrage,
had signed a bill to "move the sun
forward and then backward" and had
gone IN the floor of the house to shake
hands with members of foreign war
missions.
Another unprecedented feature OF the
congress pointed out by the COM
pendulum was hat practically one
fourth of all laws Of the three sessions
were approved during the last nine
days of the congress, The president
signed 116 bills and resolutions from
Feb. "a to March 4.
Fifteen representatives, ten senator's
and 26 ex-memhers died during the
congress. Two former presiding off,
GERS of the senate, Theodore Roose-
welt and Charles w. Fairbanks. also
are included in the death roll,
A list of authors Of bills receiving
action beyond mere introduction shows
a Proclamation of names OF chair
men Of committees. Senator Chamber
lain, of Oregon, chairman OF the milf
tary committee, with IS measures, led
the list, with Senator Myers, Of Mon
tana. chairman of the public lands
committee second with So bills. Repre-
sentative Padgett, Of Tennessee, head
ing the naval committee, led in the
house with SO measures, and Repre-
sentative Dent, Of Alabama, chairman
of the military committee, was second
with 3b bills.

throws the %searchlight on the trans
actions OF three sessions OF %unparal-

in April, 1917, the country was at peace.
In he interim a wal had been de-
clared, a war had been won, and "A war
had been ended, So this issue carried
legislative history Of q character that
perhaps never again will be duplicated,
both as to the amount Of money au-
thoriZed to be expended and as to the
extent Of the reVolutionizing of the
social and business lives of the people
of the nation"
The 65th congress is shown TO have
appropriated approximately $57, 600, 600, e
600; passed $40 public laws; IS public
