look back a generation I confess a
few of the men who were here then
seem to tower with more impress
sive superiority than any today. But
j wonder how much of that feeling
is due TO the magnffying effect of
time and the hero worship of young
man for his leaders. Oratory. so
called, is perhaps less fervent and ef-
fective now than then.
We have become more businesslike
We are IL little critical toward ap-
peals to the emotions, And yet tha
popularity of true oratory cannot die,
and when Bourke Cochran, whom
consider one of the greatest orators
/ have known, who had the Ingenious
ness of thought, the epigrammatic brill
Iiancy of expression, the fervent emo
ton, the splendid voice and the impress
sive presence which combine to form a
great orator-when he came back
here after 90 years absence, he al
ways attracted a large and fascinated
audience, as he did when l first came.
But 1 think the House has less toll
erance than formerly for second-rate
oratory. for the man who aims at the
effect without the genuine quaiifica-
tfon.
House Is Not Fooled.
'I often think what a distorted idea
of our membership the readers of
the Congre ssionaI Record must form.
They see the men who strive to make
themselves conspicuous, they read the
carefully revised and extended Ee-
marks of the men who use the Record
for self advertisement, and they must
often imagine that men are leaders
whose influence is the most insignifi-
cant and whose advocacy of a meas
ure harms rather than helps it.
'"rhis House becomes in time

1t discriminates between the modest

working only for display and self
advancement And II is refreshing
