course, that the heated season Of the
rear is upon us. that work in these
chambers and in the committee room
Is likely TO become a burden as the
season lengthens. and that every
consideration Of personal convenience
and personal comfort, perhaps, in the
cases Of some OF us, considerations
Of personal health even, dictate an
early conclusion of the deliberations
Of the session; but there are occa-
sons Of public duty when these
things which touch us privately seem

done ID so pressing and so fraught
with big consequences that we know

against Il any point OF personal sac

Of such an occasion. II is absolutely

business men Of this country a bank
