 Representative Clark, of Florida, wa accorded an ovation when he announc ed that he desired to discuss the ques tion from the standpoint of poor man. He called attention to the tact that men are leaving the service of the country and returning to private life solely be- cause the salary which they received in official positions were inadequate.

 For Gods sake, let us answer the great daily papers who are challenging our courage to go upon the record, by our votes before all the country" was his concluding appeal.
 Representative Sullivan of Massa- chuseetts who retires with this congress in supporting the amendment, said that he would be opposed largely on the principle of self f-preservation, which is the first law of nature.

As sal aries increase mediocrity diminishes for better men are aattracted to the service"
