Orders of the Day n
! Mr.. HARRINGTON of Kennebec:
Mr.. President, 1 move we take from
the table An Act to provide for tenn
4 perance day in public schools, upon
which the pending motion. as ! under
stand, is indefenite postponement.
| The motion was agreed to.
| The PRESIDENT: The Chair will
state for the information Of the Sem
ate that in the House this was in
definitely postponed
! Mr.. HARRINGTON: Mr.. President
and fellow Senators, early in the ses-
sion at the request of some of the Off
eials of the w. c. T. U. this bill was
by rae placed before the Legislature
| 1t went to the committee on education
and was reported favorably. The bill
| is H. d. 303. l would like to read the
provisions Of the bill because l am
very sure in the House there was
misunderstanding as to the purpose
of the bill. The bill reads as fol-
lows: Breads bilD The only pur-
pose of the act is to set aside short
period of forty-five minutes for OBJ
servances along this line, and l will
submit to the members of the Senate
that is not bad proposition, forty
| five minutes in year under present
conditions that prevail, and have these
matters brought home to the school
children of the State of Maine / I'M
derstand in the House it was generally
believed that this was bill which
created another holiday and for that
reason it was indefinitely pos tponed
1t seems to me that the bill has merit
in it and certainly it has no harm in
it. AS Josh Billings said, There is
only two sides to anything, the right
side and the wrong side" and l do
not see any wrong side to this bill. l
believe it ought to have a passage and
trust the motion to Indefinitely post
pone will not prevail.
| Mr.. FOLSOM of Somerset: Nr.
President, may 1 inquire if there is a
pending motion?
| The PRESIDENT: The endorse.
| ment bears the statement "Indefnitely
postponed. Tabled by Mr. Earring
! tom"
Mr.. SPRAGUE of Piscataquis: Mr..
President. what sis the motion before
the Senator
The PRESIDENT: According to
| the record the motion is evidently to
concur with the House in Indefinite
| postponement. There is no other
record. The motion to indefinitely
postpone is all that appears upon the
| record, but the motion doubtless was
| to concur with the House in indefinite
| postponement.
| Mr.. THOMBS of Penobscot: Mr..
President may l inquire if the report
| was accepted?
The PRESIDENTS: The committee
| report was accepted That bears the
endorsement of having been accepted
in the Senate on March 23rd The
Chair will state that the motion is TO
concur with the House in indefinite
pos tponement.
Mr.. SPRAGUE: Mr.. President, l
can see no objection to the bill as
| originally drawn and as advocated by
Senator harrington. If you will get it
into parliamentary shape so that 1 can
vote. will vote for it.
Mr.. HARRINGTON: Mr.. President,
as / understand, the motion was made
| on the part of the senator from York,
Senator Allen. to indefinitely post
pone in concurrence with the House.
and the motion to indefinitely postpone
was laid upon the table, which brings
it back to the question of indefinite
pos tponement.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair will
state the motion is to concur with
the House in indefinite postpone
mant.
