served to us as food--it does seem to
me that the men who are engaged In
that business should have more to
say about how they shall be managed
and regulated than any of the rest
of us. May / beg your indulgence
while tell little story which illus
trates the point l have in mind, the
point being that each man has a
right to say a little something as to
what shall be done to him. Down in
our section Of the country there is a
little store. The man keeps a good
supply of groceries, but his trade is
SO small that he has to help out by
doing other things. He has a bar
ber's chair in the grocery store. He
also has long distance telephone in
the house which adjoins the store. 1t
happened one day that an Irishman
went in there to get a shave, and
about that time, after he had seated
himself in the chair, the lady of the
house called the man to the tele-
phone. telling him that there was a
long distance call for him. There is
a pet monkey in the store that has
the run of things, and, as you know,
monkeys are great for imitation; so
Immediately after the man had left
the store, seeing the Irishman lying
there in the chair, the monkey took
the towel, went over to the chair and
carefully tucked it under the Irish
mans chin. Then going back to the
shelf he took down the mug and
brush and proceeded to lather the
Irishman's face. Having completed
that, he went back again to the shelf
and, taking the razor in his hand
started toward the chair. Pat SAYS,
"Shtop, shtop, l say! Ye can put the
towel under me chin. and the soap on
me face but begorra v father has

thing that the men who came up
in large numbers to protest against
the changing of this law should con-
stitute sufficient reason for every
one of us knowing which way we
ought to vote. Personally, I come in
contact with this because one of the
commissioners lives in my town.
Another one is at PASSPORT and a
third at Bath. scattered along the
Maine coast, so that they are in a
position to know something about
what is going on. l think it would
be a great mistake if we voted in any
other way than in support of the ma
jority report.
The SPEAKER: The question is
on the motion of the gentleman from
SedSwick, Mr.. Sargent that the ma
jority report, Ought not to pass" be
accepted. is the House ready for the
question?
The question being called for. and
viva vcce vote being taken, the mo-
tion to accept the majority report,
ought not to pass" prevailed.
The SPEAKER: The Chair pre-
sents as the next matter tabled and
today assigned, the majority and
minority reports of the committee on

port. which report is, fought to
