Mr. Hutchinson contended that his resolution
was not out Of order. and he made strong speech
arraianlns the Speaker and his allies for deny

ruling, he sad outrageous as well as
dangerous The people would be heard despite
all the racetracl gamblers could do to prevent
them. Such a ruling in years gone by would have
led to revelation. Congress never refused the
people hearing, and there were plenty OF Other
precedents for this proposed hearing.
Mr. lIutchinsons voice rang with cloqucne
warning to the arbitrary Speaker. and 1t was at
this juncture that the audience applauded. They
did not merely clap their hands; they cheered,
and ceased only upon the order of the Speaker.

hands wind confdingly around our
necks and rub our cheeks. while dewy
lips shower kisses. Other little ones
distanced in the race for favor press
their heads against our arms and seize
our hands in readiness for the walk
through the nursery. They have found
a new plaything. And they have not
learned the bitter lesson which awaits
them, that, of all the children IN the
world. they have no right to its gifts of
name or place or honor. The only
home they have known thus far is the
big sunny room where none but loving
women come to romp and sing and to
comfort the heart of the motheTless
child which can be lonely at times even
here. And so, of course, by plain rea-
soning there is much TO be lost, they
argue, in pretending to be shy with
people who bring things which make
many kisses worth while. They lock
arms in rows OF four and back down
the aisle; they rush from the shelter of
the white curtain cribs like animated
catapults; they stare solemnlv, and as
general interest begins to wane, walk
away to discuss it at their leisure.
