What else has Congress done, says
We? Well, tn House iv REPRESENTATIVES
has passed a bill irritatin' tn arid
plains iv tn West, an a bill to relieve
tn FilipinOs iv tn necessity iv askin'
FIR relief. 1t has passed tn chewin' to-

with age is still goin' on, Hinnissy.
Me frind Tiddy Rosenfelt wrote thin
a letther sayin' that they had done
well. They were a credit to tn coun-
thry an he was as proud iv thin as he
cud be considherin' tn difference in
their age. He wud like to pat thin on
tn head but he cud on'y pull their
whiskers. 'Sinitors,' says he, no Sinit
since 1 come iv age has excelled We.
If anywan iv We want a ricomminda-
ton as Sinitor somewheres else, l will
write it FIR We. 1 have found We faith

throuble. It's a question iv sinitoryal
courtesy. What's that? Well, Hin
Missy, We see, there amt amy rules in
tn sinit. Ivrybody gets up whin he

let me talk, I'll let We sleep. TIL pre-
sidin' officer can't come down with his
hammer an bid wan iv thin vin'rable
men, grim with Traditions, to chase
himself firm tn f1ure. In such case
it wud be parlyminthry FIR tn grim
sinitor to heave an ink-well at tn pre-

It's a mischeevous, foul, criminal bill.
