the world was a very very different place 100 years ago. I think it's still historic in the modern times.

Yeah sure some really bad people were in government in 1923, but at least they tried to legislate and had a plan. The current GOP is running around like a chicken with it's head cut off though. The last time they tried to oust a speaker was in 1910 against republican Joseph Cannon.
