Excerpt from The Life of Thomas Brackett Reed
House of Representatives, of editing the reports of his speeches by inserting Applause and Laughter in the printed version, a practice which has made the House appear to be a very stupid sort of body, go ing wild with enthusiasm over eloquence the cheapest and most fustian, and convulsed with laughter over jokes the point of which years of subsequent study have failed to disclose. Indeed Reed had the reputa tion of not even revising the reporter's notes in order to correct the little slips and errors that will inevitably creep into reports of speeches made in a body like the House.
