CLARK sTIRs UP RACKET.

An Associated Press dispatch gives
the following account OF how Hon.
Frank Clark stirred up a racket In
Congress on Tuesday last:
Rising to a question OF the highest
privilege, Mr.. Clark offered a resolu-
ton providing for an investigation by
the committee on judiciary Of the let.
ter Of Secretary OF State Bacon OF Feb
ruary 3, 1909. wherein the secretary
deprecated the remarks OF Mr.. Rainey
OF Illinois regarding Panama canal az
fairs, in order TO ascertain whether or
not Il was a violation Of the privileges
OF the public and to make recommen-
dalton accordingly.
"Messrs. Payne New York; and
Overstreet QndlanaJ sprang TO their
feet. the former demanding that the
resolution be laid on the table, while
Mr.. overstreet made a point OF order
that the resolution was not privileged.
in the meantime, Mr.. Clark was ap-
pealing. for recognition. and finally
got IL. He quoted the constitution In
support OF his resolution, but said
that whether or not IL was privileged
the subject should De investigated.
The letter Of Secretary Of State
Bacon, he said. had been scattered
broadcast over the world through the
press: There has been filed in the
archives Of the Government, there to
remain as long as the Government
stands he said. AN attack on a mem
Der OF this House for what he may
have said In debate on this flOOr.S
''Mr. Rainey. he charged, had been
denounced In that letter as having ut
tered an untruth in debate; was de-
nounced by the Secretary Of State at
the direction Of the President and
denounced I'm an official cOmmunica-
ton TO the representative Of a quasi
foreign power. IL was, he said, one
Of the gravest breaches Of the privi-
leges OF the House and an indignity
and insult TO the House.
In an elaborate opinion Speaker
Cannon said he preferred not TO pass
on the point Of order and sustain the
same, but believed IL would be better
TO let the House take such action as
il saw proper on a decision Overruling
the point of order. and whether a
question of privilege is involved or
even a shadow of a question OF privi-
lege would be for the House to de-
termine.' He thereupOn Overruled the
point. On a motion by Mr.. Payne
New York; to lay the resolution on
the table, Mr.. Clark Succeeded in
forcing a roll call
by a strict party vote of 1S6 TO 12O
the resolution was laid on the table"

When clergymen have protested
against the low moral tone Of many
modern plays. they have been charged
with being puritanical, narrow minded
and pTejudiced, although almost every
theatregOer knows that many plays
are unfit for decent people 10 witness.
But no condemnation Of such plays by
the clergy ever surpassed that just
made by that noted stage manager.
Charles Durham. president OF the
Managers Association. He says that
some modern plays are orgies OF OBJ
.scenity," and "inexpressibly filthy"
And the worst of IL Is this Is the kind
OF play that a large and degenerate
element Graves for. This Is not so
much seen I'm smaller cities and viii

tone prevails. but Il Is only too evil

The Punta GOrda Herald thinks the
leasing Of the cOnvlcts the only thing
that can be done at this time with
these charges Of the State. This
seems the only way in which the State
can make the cOnvicts anywhere near
self-supporting. says The Starke Tele-
graph. and We must confess that We
can see nothing immoral IN the trans
action, nor do We regard the fact that
lessees make money out Of their trans
actions as tending % prove that the
system Is a vicious one. II no money
could be made there would be no les
sees, and the State would be COMPEL
ed TO take upon itself the heavy
charge OF maintaining the cOnvicts
In comparative idleness. No such OBJ
legation as this rests upon the State.
Tit States obligation Is 10 see that
these unfortunates are properly cloth
ed and fed and humanely treated. A
large sum Is being paid out annually
for supervision In furtherance Of this
obligation. Whenever Il develops that
the supervision Is not being properly
exercised the Governor has the rem
edy IN his hands.
