| CT, / dislike at this stage of the session
| OF the Legislature to oppose deiiper-
ate report of the committee ON dPpro-
! priatiOns and financial affairs. shouio
have preferred that this matter shouiu
| be recommitted 10 the committee 20
see il they would not consider inns
| question further | believe the subject
! is d worthy one for careful conSluefa-
| ton. l think this institution Is DONG
| a great Geal of good. ! understand tiiat
we are in the position OF having no
| divided report from the committee on
| appropriati tons, 50 that 1t Il either an
| opposition to an entire report or 1t Is
| no opposition at ALL That is the posi-
| ton we ind ourselves in now in regard
| TO this matter: but il seems to me that
| this House can do nothing better in
| the exercise OF its discretion than to
| care fer children under these circum-
| stances. children who are especially
| objects OF sympathy, children who are
| in this institution we'll cared for ana
| placed upon the world rs worthy menu
! bers of society after they leave this in
| stitu;ion. The amount asked for is not
large. | think we may be sure that il
| will go to a good purpose; and de
| sire to have my influence, Which is not
| great, To go IN support of the motion
made by the gentleman from Lewiston.
Mr.. MORRISON of Eden: Mr. Speak

| this was ii most worthy charity. | do
| Tot like to speak against the decision
| Of any committee in his House. but.
Mr.. Speaker. SHALL add my testimony
in favor of this institution.
Mr.. RUSSELL. OF PnaGticld: Mr..
| Speaker. as a member Of tho committee
! on appropriations ana financial affairs
| feel called upon to Say :. few WordS.
| Your committee heard all that was Of
fered ut the hearing. and this report
| vas adopted by no means because OF
The lack of sympathy with the OBJECT

the treasury for money f"% various nur-
poses has been very largo. almost I'M
