expected.

the statement made by Maj. Lacey
about the idiocy of adjourning for the
holidays was the most sensible thing he
had said for the past u years"
Speaking OF appropriation bills, Mr..
clark said he believed il would be wise
thing IL a rule were adopted prohibiting
the passage OF any appropriation bill later
than five days before the adjournment of
congress He thought "the unseemy jobs
the closing hours of congress would be
eliminated 10y such rule"
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, asked
Mr.. Clarke TO specify some OF the Jobs"
that had gotten into appropriations bills
during the closing hours.
Well replied Mr. Clark, Il will get
some specific jobs and bring them in here
for the gentlemans edification and I
will make a speech on the subject, too"
on division the absence OF quorum was
disclosed. Mr.. Clark leading the fight
against the resolution on the part OF the
