After much more OF the same kind of
sarcastic criticism Of the inaetlon OF the
House, and the claim that by its mode Of
adjourning every three days by virtue OF 4
resolution, adopted days and weeks before
it becomes operative, the constitutionality
| OF the present session of Congress had been
put in grave doubt, Senator Hale called
the Senator To order on the point that he
was referring TO the other branch Of Com
gress
The presiding officer tSenator Gallinger)
directed Senator Morgan to take his seat
pending the reading OF the rule ON that
subject. Mr. Hale subsequently withdrew
his point OF order, but not until the chair
bad sustained it,
Senator Quay then made the point that
debate was not in order on his motion 10
adjourn, which point was sustained The
vote was then taken by yeas ana nays, and
the Senate decided, by u vote OF "a to II,
that at the close OF the days session it
would adjourn over until Tuesday.
senator Morgan then returned To a con-
tinuation OF the discussion where he left
off. He said he had been a member OF
the Senate for twenty years. and had never
before been called upon to take his seat,
and he was glad that when ordered TO take
his seat IL had been at time when he was
defending the Constitution of the United
States against the Republican party. Z
Senator Morgan then proceeded to argue
| in favor of his claim that owing to its adj
| tournments from Monday 10 Thursday and
from Thursday to Monday the House has
violated the Constitution and is no longer
legally IN session.
In reply to questions by Senator Rawlins
and others, Senator Morgan said there
could be no such thing a Constructive
House or constructive Senate it must be
actual, not constructive.
The President has no power" said the
Senator, ito call Congress together 10 pass
d tariff bill and do nothing else. Had he
| done So the selfrespect OF the members
! of the two houses would at once have re-
beIled against any such uni Just assumption
of authority
The Senate is being constantly urged to
pass the tariff bill and do it quickly The
only people who will be benefited by its
| passage are the great trusts. and, for one.
he did not, he said propose TO be in any
! hurry To help pass the bill or allow its
| friends to do it
Better go slower" he said. land do
what We do in a legal and constitutional
manner 1 have no doubtthat the President
will remedy the unconstitutionality brought
upon this session by the action Of the
| House, by calling Congress together again -
| A House havinga large number of Demo-
cratic members, although largely Repub-
| ucan, that was subnIissively obedient 20

I Tire vote was then taken on the motion
