U. S. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, BEST IN THE WORLD

{ u. S. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, BEST IN THE WORLD'
Notwithstanding jibes to which it is subjected,
the Congressional Record places daily before the people
the country complete and convenient Transcript
of national legislative proceedings than provided for the
perusa of the people of any other country The British
parliamentary record is almost exclusively
bates with record of the action taken bills There
no list of bills introduced publication of conference
ports, list of executive documents transmitted to the
legislative body The French record made available for
public reading is fairly comparable with in
spects and may even be superior in some 1t is not
convenient for general since the debates of the
chambers published separately and the
stitched so that handling is difficult and filing even more
difficult In Great Britain, also the debates in the
houses are printed separateya plan not convenient
The French feature that adds
to its usefulness AT the opening of the report of the de-
bate In each chamber there is given summary of the days
proceedings setting forth briefly the different subjects
der consideration reader quickly the topics
and more easily lind what he wants ascertain whether
there subject in which he has particular interest
The different subjects noted in the summary numbered
and corresponding numbers appear in the text.
The British record of debates has features that
would probably commend to many Americans Because
the quantity material it is printed in pamph-
let with about the size of the ordinary government
document in this country whereas Congressional
ord has very large pages This advantage in the form of
the pamphlet is more than counter balanced by the in
convenience of having the records of the two houses pub
shed separately Another feature of the British record
is that where members speech is carried from
page to another the members at the top of
the new that the reader easily see who the
speaker was without turning back to the previous page
Our Congressional Record contains features
not know elsewhere One of these is the publication of

by granting in the House of Representatives known

Typical Coolidge Epigrams


Calvin Coolidge, who once remarked
that SILENCE and discretion" compris-
ed the duties of Vice President, has
followed his own precept to the let
ter. Sparing of speech, he is noted for
the pithiness of his expressions. Some
of his best known epigrams follow:
Don't hesitate to be as revolution
ary as science, nor as reactionary as
the multiplication table.
Government does not rest on the
opinions Of men. It's results rest on
their actions.
Men do not make laws; they do but
discover them.
We must eternally smite the rock Of
public conscience if the waters of pa
triotism are to pour forth.
There is no right to strike against
the public safety by anybody, any
where, any time.
Sovereignty, it is our belief, is vest
ed in the individual and we are going
to protect the rights of the individual.
Industry can not flourish if labor
languish.
Self government means self support.

Philadelnhia Ennnirer:-


If Mr.. Coolidge had been specially
selected for an emergency of the char
acter which now confronts the coun-
try, he could not have better fitted in
to the situation-the sixth Of its kind
in our history-than he does. He has
the characteristics which go well in a
crisis. He is calm, thoughtful and So
ber-minded; he thinks twice before he
speaks once. He has behind him the
conservative traditions of New Eng
land. He was in perfect accord with
President Harding and in thorough
sympathy with the aims and purposes
of the lamented executive; he has pos
tive views upon the paramount neces-
sity of law and order land he fully ap-
preciates the dignity and the great
of the Presidency.

New York Evening Mall
Calvin Coolidge's career emphasizes
once again the greatness Of this coun-
try as a land of opportunity, and the
reality of it's democratic faith. In its
devotion to ideals and it's loftiness of
purpose, that career has already con-
tanned many useful lessons for Ameri-
can youth. There is little doubt that
the consummation of this simple,
silent mans ambition will find him
still growing with his opportunity.
His is the sort Of nature that always
keeps a reservoir Of faith and strength
and courage and wisdom to draw on
when needed.

SAP AND SALT
BY Bert Moses

I--By Bert Moses
The most enjoyable part Of a
visit is when you get back home
from one.
No lecturer can succeed these
days unless he acquires a distinct
British accent.
The hardest questions to an
swer are children's.
AS country grows older, the
freedom Of it's citizens grows
less.
A child too forward out of
school is apt to be too backward
in school.
Roofs. fences and regulations
should always be kept in good re-
pair.
AS lawyers reputation in
creases, his gall Is pretty sure to
follow suit,
You should try to carry your
troubles in a small valise rather
than in a freight car.
Every new kind of car seems
to develop a new kind of knock
in the engine.
When the boat upsets, God is
on the side Of the good swimmer.
When we make a clever move,
we credit it to wisdom; when we
make a blunder, we pass 1t to
experience.

A FAT, bald-headed man
u sat on a rustic bench on
a a lawn in his shirt
sleeves, on a hot night in a
perspiration, at a late hour,
in Houston. That sentence
sounds queer, but upon exam
nation, it proves to be all
right.
The man was fifty-two, i'm
patient, hot, married, and had
prickly heat. 1t was one of
those balmy nights last week
when dogs dig holes under the
fence, and girls carried their
puff boxes to the ice cream
saloons with them.
The man leaned. over and
famed himself and allowed the
perspiration to run off the end
Of his nose in puddle at his
feet.
Occasionally he would say
things in a low tone of voice
without separating his teeth.
Ten feet away was a fence,
and the other side of the fence
was another lawn, and voices.
The fat man listened.
One voice suggested tooth
pick shoes, a curdled NOUS
tache, and a silk shirt. The
other was redolent of white
duck, open-work stockings and
a trusting heart. The white
duck voice said, "Hug me,
Wootsy, as tight as UNI wuvs
um."
The fat man, aged fifty-two,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-06-20

with prickly heat, tore open
his collar, famed himself
furiously and muttered some
thing to the starry night.
Then the tooth-pick shoes
voice was heard to exclaim:
whats the matter wiz my
liz pet? What ums crying
for?"
"That amt cry" said the
white duck voice, chats per-
spiration."
The fat man uttered a howl
of despair, sprung to his feet,
and made a bee line for the
refrigerator.
And high in the heavens the
goddess of night paused
moment and scratched her back
against the rays of the eve
ming star.
A young Houston mother
rushed into the house the
other day in the utmost excite
ment, calling out to her mother
to put an iron to the fire as
quickly as possible.
"What is the matter?" asked
the old lady.
