READ THEM and VEEP

Mr.. Borah: There will be no trou-
bic whatever about passing a bill
through here at any time to create
an additional judgeship anywhere,
upon any occasion; SO think the
conferees upon the part Of the SEN.
ate outgeneraled the conferees on
the part Of the house vry much.
Mr.. Cummins: am very glad to-
| receive and recognize and appreciate
the compliment Of the senator from
Idaho. We did the best we could
Congressional Record.
| ! Mr.. Walsh Of Massachusetts,: The
article (New York Times) reads.
''The declaration of a stock dividend
Of 1888 per cent is revealed in the
annual report Of Morris & Co., pack
ers, made public today. The company
has increased its capital stock from
$3.ote, 900 to $40.000,o00 BY capit-
alizing $37,0O0,00o surplus 81.
| Mr.. Huddleston: Therefore, If the
Interstate Commerce commission
does exactly what this bill instructs
them to do they will issue the cou
pom tickets at an increased price
over the regular tickets. Instead Of
the commercial travellers being able
| to buy a coupon ticket at a discount
they will have to give a premium,
because such tickets work certain
losses to the railroads and they can
not afford to- put them out at. the
same price. This was all the evil
dence before the committee, Now,
let any member of the committee
deny that if he dares. They asked
for bread and we have given a: stone:
| We have brought forth a bill pre-
tending we are going to give the
commercial travellers lower fares,
and yet if they go ahead and buy a
coupon ticket instead of travelling at
regular fare they will have to- pay a
premium.-CongressionaI Record.
Mr.. Borah: Mr.. president, may I
ask if the senator is advised at this
time whether. or not our marines are
Cstills guarding the White House at
Managua, Nicaragua? They have
been there for: or 10 years. I dc
not know whether they have gone
away yet or not. -
Mr.. Kind: I think. they are. The
last authentic information I had was
that a portion of the marines-to-
wit, 24-had. been brought home in
irons, sentenced to from to 40
years for alleged offenses committed
in, Nicaragua, and that there were
still marines in Nicaragua.-Congres-

| Mr.. Norris: During the Wilson ad-
ministration we on this side used to
hurl epithets at you over on the 9TH
er side. We said that the Democratic
party of the house and the. senate
was nothing but rub Der stamp, was
! moved around by the power in the
White House at his will. I said it
many times. and believed 1t, and I
think yet it was true. But the rub
Der stamp is over. here now, it seems.
There is a different, boss. The people
did not get relief; they only changed
bosses, and the same instrumentali-
ties and the same methods are be-
ing used now as before. No wonder
the congress is not in good standing
before the: people of America A
Republican rubber stamp is<just- as
bad as a Democratic rubber stamp,
congressional Record:
! Representative London: Whenever
anybody refers to a Socialist in my
presence it is a. compliment because
he must have me In mind.
Some of those. who are not Social
lists are anarchists, Of which there
are two varieties. one at the bottom
poor. helpless, despondent. Then
there is another group Of anarch.
lists, dangerous to democracy, a group
that does not recognize the power OF
the soul in human affairs. That is
the group that would subordinate
to cash, to money. every human con.
sideration, and that is really the dan.
gerous group Of anarchists.-Con-
