Folks who figure that the big daily newspapers print all the interesting things which occur in congress, had better subscribe for the Congression- al Record. The Record scores a “scoop” about every time 1t goes to press. For instance, the real story of a dramatically interesting episode. in the senate early this week is to be found accurately only in the Rec- ord. It had to do with a reviving of the GOPOIPIPPVPPPOPLIPPOIPPLOOGOO® AT | P m e th 8i ki m sl - something of the spirit of this pro- posed legislation. On that occasion I felt it my duty to opopse the mea- sure. “I do not understand, I am capable of understanding, how a man loyal in his heart to his country can re- main silent while it -proposed to build at the expense of the govern- ment of the United States a monu- ment commemorating the services of those who tried to destroy the coun- try. If it were a monument to them personally, and did not Involve in ex- press terms the acts of attempted destruction of the country, it might be subject to such'a.construction as would make it tolerable. But to re- cite in an act of the Congress of the United States that the public treas- ury should be called upon to pay for the erection of a monument commem- orating the acts of attempted de- struction is intolerable. “It might be imagined from the quibs of the newspapers that I found a pleasure in discussing or speaking of or thinking of these questions. .I (do not.

Some of them delight to express their dis- loyalty and to criticize unfairly men who dare to be loyal or to express loyal sentiments. The press has ceased to have an influence upon the great questions. The people of the @| United States have lost confidence in it because it threw away the right to claim their confidence. been “My mail is bringing to me daily and hourly unsigned letters of abuse and criticism; cowardly letters; let- \ters threatening to come to Washing- ton and destroy my features and my life, unsigned, probably written in vthe backroom of some barroom, and instead of being on the way to Wash- ington, they were probably on the way to get another drink.

I have here in my desk—they are coming in every mail; they are 1aid on my desk while I.am talking— squibs from newspapers that profess to be moulders of public opinion; that profess to be representatives of intéllectual thought. They start out with headlines calling me by name, and saying, “He waves the bloody flag in the United States senate.” Such thing are only worthy of notice in order that they may be properly characterized. They do not bother me any. Gracious! If I were so con- stituted that I were bothered by that kind of thing I would have been worn out a lifetime ago. I remember when that element used to point to me and others as we went along the streets and roads, and say “Woolly head! Woolly head!” That was the argu- ment they had ta justify their sym- pathy with treason and rebellion— a great argument, just about on a par with this cry of waving the bloody flag, “There is mo newspaper reporter in the gallery whe is brave enough o report a diseussion of this matter fairly ¥NU truthfully—mot one of | | them. It would be curious, if one were of a curious turn of mind, to see the garbled, untruthful statements they make about it. “The other day when the Washing- ton Evening Star left out the word “not,” so as to make me appear to have said just the opposite of what I @id say, when I called their atten- tion to it here from the floor on the next morning and they had the offi- cial Record to go to for the truth they were too cowardly to mention it. They never take back a lie when they have printed it; it is against their policy to do it, because they are cowards; that is all.” NEWS FORECAST FOR THE WEEK. An exceedingly busy week is in prospect for the lawmakers of three great. nations, which is rather un- usual for midsummer. The discussion of the proposed reciprocity pact between Canada and the United States will engage the at- tention of the Dominion Parliament at Ottawa. In Washington the legislative ac- tivities will be confined chiefly to the upper branch of congress. According +n tha echadnle as it now stands the Bryan’s home state.
