my Morning journal snecinl Leased wirel
Washington. June -. - Speaker
cannon iu a statemen; Just before the
house adjourned tonight, declared
that he had nothing 10 apologize for
as a member Of the house or as a
speaker. and ne presumed each mem
her could express similar sentiment.
This has been. ut times. "A strenu-
GUS session, said the sneaker. "Virilr
men, acting In "a great representative
body, earnest, positive, sometimes In
debate or otherwise. say that which
II conditions were different they
would not say. So that. In sharp con
trast. when sober. second thought
comes. broad men r~ealize that posi-
tive men do not hold responsible col
leagues, who. under the Influence or
passion or otherwise, speak in detri-
ment that which they would not say
In moments when they were cool. As
we pass from Washington to our
homes. I shall go putting behind me
the contests through which the house
has passed, without malice"
The speaker paid most attention to
the Legislative work accomplished,
referring only incidentally to the fight
