Inc speaker from tD9 CHAIR repneu as
ollows: 1.-THE gentleman FROM Missouri
as permitted himself to make statements
n regard to the relations between the
peaker and other members of the COM
nittee on rules that am happy to state
re not justified by the facts. The rouse
must not feel Itself to have been treated
o an unusual discourse upon the lack of
Iberty given to the citizens. 1t SO happens |
n this world that there are many citizens. |
so happens that in the house of repre- |
entatives there are many members and |
hat while In theory every man can occupy !
II The time IN discourse, In actual prac-
Ice he has to occupy 1t in subordinaion
D the rights of every other member to
he rights of the body itself and TO the
rosecution Of public business. In actual |
rattice also the house may have noticed
hat however much despotism is exercised
Y the rule, thera is no subject in the
eavens above or In the earth beneath
lat has not been discussed, even in this
resent congress. QLaughter) Now, if
10 gentleman from Missouri will turn to
lie annals Of congress, away back In 1916.
uring the period of liberty such as ne
links he desires, he will find that John
andolph who certainly was heard enough
!, become famous for century, was COM
laining about the despotism of the rules
that period and was also complaining
lat even the arch-inquisitor himself
ould have been satisfied with the wicket
SIS of them. So you see that human na-
ire is the same In all time" daughter
Id applause on the republican side.)
