Old adage
''THE GREATEST THIEF FIRST CRIES THIEF"
In relation TO the exclusion OF reporters from be-
hind the clerks desk 1t may simply be said tnat the
resolution adopted ordering such exclusion was
most proper in It's provisions The clerks have not
an inch OF room TO spare, but the contrary, are
considerably cramped. and previous to the adoption
OF the excluding resolution
PAPERS WERE CARRIED AWAY
by parties who were allowed behind the desk by
courtesy and then tampered WITH the great detrt
ment OF the business OF the House. 1t Is emincnty
due TO Mr. Armstrong to say this much, although
those who know him know also that the vindlca-
ton is almost unnecessary.
