bill has been proposed applica-
tions are pouring on the Sena-
tors to use their influence for po.
sitions, fortunately for me, l
have not been pestered much, l
think l did receive one applica.
tion but this came from a young
man who really would make a
good officer should the bill be
enacted into law. but I have
heard number of Senators
speak of the fondness many men
have to secure a government
job, matters not how small.
An effort was made to get this
bill up for consideration last
Friday night and pass it to a
third reading; the appeal was
made that many other bills had
been advanced to a third reading
as matter of courtesy and this
one should be also, but I could
not see it so, I endeavor to be
courteous TO every Senator, and
will help him advance his causes
but in matter of this nature,
courtesy does not play any part,
but parliamentary sledge.ha
mers do, and I shall WELD the
|sledge-hammer whenever this
and like legislation is proposed.
I succeeded in keeping the bill
from being advanced, and shall
stay upon It's trail until it is
Idead or enacted into a statute
lover my protest. The following
lis the monster.
