RAPs REFORM FOES IN PRAYER.
Chaplain Of Texas House Attacks
Critics Of the Lawmakers.

Austin, Texas, April 2. Chaplain
Joyce of the house of representatives
this morning in his prayer at the
opening of the session said:
Hundreds of men in the state are
today cursing the laws recently en-
acted. Why do they not come and
curse the lawmakers? Perhaps they
have wholesome fear that their teeth
will be knocked down their throats by
the fists of the smart lawmakers. Hun
dreds of thousands are blessing those
laws; why not bless the men that
passed them?"
The recent enactment of reform leg
islation has caused the members of
the legislature to be the subject of
considerable criticism, which prompted
the chaplain to speak as he did.
