Talk and Action by Congress.
(NeW York Post. ]

In brief speech last week Representative Alice Robertson of Oklahoma advised her fellow Represen- tatives to reduce their talking and thus save money on the Congressional Record. Of course her words went all the country. One enterprising news presented little table of the amount of talk ing that Congress has been doing. On Monday of last week Senators emitted 25, 900 words and Repre- 'sentatives 41,000 On Tuesday the number of words uttered in the Senate mounted to 84,OO0 and in the House to 45,0O0. This the big day of the week. The total for the five days which Congress was in session 242OOO for the Senate and 216,000 for the House-a grand total of 45SOOO words.
 It is easy to exclam the waste of time and energy supposed be indicated by these figures. But let either house interfere with the freedom of debate and the up that laws are being rail- roaded through that legislation is being passed under gag rules. A Congressman might be excused for inquiring just how he to operate without either talking not talking The face is that in the
 House debate is severely restricted Any abuse there is not in the of words actually spoken but in the eave-to print privilege, under which masses of matter less 4nreadable dumped upon the Record. In the Senate discussion is freer Some curtailment undoubtedly could be made to advan- tage in Senatorial oratory Of fbustering how ever there is almost none. It is reserved as a weapon of last resort and such can be defended.
 The truth is that there two kinds of dilatori- ness in Congress. One is the diatorness of inertia. It is reprehensible. The other which is really not datoriness, is the eisurely progress that attends measures which in dispute. An illustration of this slow pace is afforded by the Navay Appropria- tions Bill. It has been before Congress since khe session began. But it has been before the try all that time, too, and with what result? With the result that the Borah amendment calling for a conference reduction of naval armaments is about to be laid on the Presidents desk. Those who in weigh against Congress for it's sluggishness should ask themselves which is better: routine Naval Bill passed in hurry epoch-making Naval Bill passed with delay of four months. To reply that still better would have been epoch-making Naval Bill passed in hurry would be to offer ridiculous bit of counsel of perfection.

 No, sir" replied the woman frig- idly. There are no dice on the premises"

PRIVATE LIFE MOST PROMISING.

That private life is attractive and promises more satisfactory. rewards for ambitious men than public life to many men again illustrated the other day when Senator Joseah O. Wolcott of Della ware and Representative John w Good of Iowa re- signed from Congress. Both held high positions and both have had long and successful political careers, though neither is yet an old man
 senator Wolcott is not yet A years of age Before becoming Senator he served his State as Deputy At lorhey-General. He is of high talent Is from one of the oldest Delaware families and is very pop lar He had every right to look forward to lon? and successful political career but preferred the on. portunities and pleasures personal effort in his profession.
 representative Good of the Fifth Iowa District had acquired the prestige of terms in the House or Representatives and the chairmanship of the now erful Appropriations Committee, second only to tho Ways and Means Committee in importance and ouit this at the age of 55 to practice law in Chicago e was practically assured of reelections as long as he cared to serve in Congress, and his prestige would grow with each succeeding term Yet he too tired of the game" in public life
 mat these resgnations had no partisan signi6. canoe Is evident from the circumstance that Senator Wolcou is Democrat and Representative Good :, Republican.

GOVERNMENT STEAMSHIPS FOR ALASKA

Dispatches say the Shipping Board is making an examination into the situation for the purpose of ciding whether not to put government line of steamships the Alaska route It would be well for the Board to make it's investigation very thorough If the Government should decide to put line of steamers the Alaska route it should by all means prepare to put enough ships to handle all of the business, for it would mean the abandonment of the Alaska trade, far the general public is con cerned by the private companies It requires all available traffic to bear the cost of maintaining a satisfactory common carrier service the Alaska routes, and if the Government should come in and take part of that traffic them it would finally result in driving private lines out.
 Experience has shown that in the long condi- tions not often improved when the Government enters business.

HIGH PURCHASING POWER BRINGS EUROPEAN GOLD FROM HIDING.

The appearance of old gold coins in England and other in great numbers is accepted evi- dence that gold that has been boarded in private vaults for years is finding it's way into circua- tion The holders of gold in Europe feel that it's purchasing power will be greater than it is they are spending the money. It also is said that most of the gold that is turned loose in this is finding it's way to the United States to pay debts lowing her Europeans would rather send gold to the United States than to stand the very high ex- change that charged This probably ac- counts in part for the great gold stream that fs pouring into America from Europe.
 This bringing gold from its hiding places is one of the favorable indications. It indicates that people have confidence that conditions will improve, and gold that Is locked in private boxes does no one any good All of that of gold that is brought out and useG for the payment debts in this country helps the financial situation of the countries from which 1t come It strengthens the credit of the countries giv- ing it and does weaken their available reserves
