FAREWELL OF FIRST
PRESIDENT IS READ

For the first time in many years, the
/ House Of Representatives today took
I formal notice Of the anniversary Of the
birth of President George WASHINGTON.
The ceremony Of reading General
WaShingtOns Farewell Address TO the
American people is an annual custom
strictly observed in the Senate But for
years il has not been done in the House.
After the morning business had been
disposed OF in the House today. Rep
resentative Champ Clark, leader OF the
minority, asked unanimous consent that
Representative Henry s. BouteU OF Hi
nOis he permitted TO read to the House
tWashington's address,. BOuteu has the
reputation Of being the most dramatic
speaker in Congress. Inasmuch, how
ever, as the address IS an unusually
lengthy one, MI BouteU shook his head
! vigorously Speaker Cannon, however.
took no notice OF Mr.. BOuteITs silent
objection. and Champ Clark walked
over from the Democratic side and laid
! in front Of Mr.. BOuten WashingtOn's
address.
Mr.. Bouten attempted TO turn the
tables by amending the Clark motion
so that Mt. Clark himself should be
compelled 10 read the address.
Nothing doing shouted Champ
Clark. The gentleman from Illinois is

up 70 him 10 read the Farewell Ad-
dress"
AT the suggestion of Vice President
elect Sherman, Mr. BOUteu went 70 the
clerk desk 10 read the address, and
he was given the closest attention until
he finished.
At the conclusion Of the reading Of
the address by Mr. BOutell. Repre-
sentative Sulzer, Of New York, en-
/ deavored 20 have read from a New
York paper an editorial entitled.
"Washington's Inspiration Upon
1 learning the name Of the paper I'm
which il was printed, there were muir
murS Of dissent in all portions Of the

made until John Sharp Williams entered
the chamber and remarked that he did
not consider il appropriate with the
sacreduess Of the dav to couple the
dress with the utteranCes Of editors,
and he objected 10 its reading.

In the Presidents castization Of the
Indiana Senator, he declares that IL the
limitation Of the use Of the Secret Ser
vice had been I'm force when the SEN
sauonaI land frauds were uuearthed a
few years ago, a Senator, a Representa-

time were convicted all would have eS-

February 70, the President says in part:
i have seen the report presented by
Senator Henenway On behalf Of YOU
committee In reference to the Secret
SerE ice matter. 1he report is inaCCu-
rate and misleading In various import
ant respects. and [ desire to make Ger
tain corrections in reference to state

subsequent debate. Until last year, the
Secret :, rvice, a small body Of sixty

In not p single case has il been shown
that they took any but proper steps

Congress last year forbade by Law the

politician who recently, in address,
ing farmers meeting, told the
farmers how great they were and
how little their enemies were. He
talked for half an hour fiattering
them and insisting that they were
the very salt of the earth. He said
nothing in particular, but simply
tried to make himself solid with
them and gain their confidence. Mr..
Barrett said:
II have related the story because
believe it illustrates the vital
change, the prophetic courage, that
is coming over the Farmers Union.
We are paying less attention to the
ranter and more to the fellow who
produces results, who shows us how
to live better, how to handle our
crops with less expenditure, how to
better educate and feed and clothe
our wives and our children. And
this, I think, is progress, the only
sort of progress that is as good this
time next year as it is today, and
that will preserve this organization
when you and l and our friends at
home shall be mingling our dust with
the earth"
