Linked with this new market for
cotton has been one for textile ma
chlnery. a field of Russian buying into
which the United States has entered
only recently. Whereas the U. s. S. r.
hitherto had purchased all her textile

began buying such equipment here.
Perhaps more important than tex

Woodworking machinery, in which
machine tools. used in the manufac-

$2,799 900 in 1894, this product has
jumped to the sl0,000,000 class. owing

gress has full legislative authority
over the District Of Columbia, In
Guiding the schools, and under the
many years of encouragement of this
body. this magnificent school system
has been developed. Up to last year
no member of Congress has ever had
the hardihood to interfere with 1t
Would Destroy Spirit.
II have at no time engaged in per-
sonal criticism. I do not now, but to
pass over without protest a mistake
so vital as this QUESTIONABLE which
the gentleman from Texas presumed
to send out would have meant to con-
done the act. would have been to
stultify myself personally, and would
be failure on my part to fulfill the
duty which owe to the great ofiice I
have the honor to hold. To permit
the further exercise of an espionage
already begun would in the end de-
stroy the spirit of this great corps Of
5000 highly trained. broadly edu-
Gated, thoroughly prepared builders Of
youth In the District of Columbia.
II cannot join the few friends of
Mr.. Blanton in believing he is in any
wise infallible. Nor can I agree with
them that having done some good, he
should be permitted to do much harm
without just criticism. It would be
the very worst thing we can do to
sit supinely by and permit any man
in this body to embarrass the public
school system of the District of Co.
lumbia, whatever may be his motive
whether, indeed, any motive beyond
misguided interest could prompt such
action.
Let me repeat that the public
school system of Washington is rec
ognized as one Of the best in the
world. 1t is properly so held and
whatever is done by the Congress is
reflected in the school systems of our
many States. And what we do as
the sponsors of this great school sys-
tenn will be noted as the attitude of
the United States Government toward
education in its broadest sense. So
far the Congress has wisely left the
building of this school system to the
teachers, to the educators, to the
thinkers. This has been done
throughout the Nation as well as In
the District of Columbia.
No Excuse for QUESTIONABLE.
There is, indeed, and, in fact, no
possible excuse for the sending out OF
this thoroughly vicious questionnaire-
whatever be the motive. Not one Of
the three gentlemen who so praised
the author of it for q moment ever
implied that Mr.. Blanton had any
authority for doing such a thing-that
he had any power to carry out his
threat; that he In anywise represented
this House. He knew and they knew
that he had no authority, no power, no
mandate from the House. He knew
and they knew it was a presumption
seldom equaled in public or private
life. If you remove from considera-
ton the psychological red herring now
being exercised overtime by all our
perspiring politicians-that Of COM
munism-not a single one of this trio
would dare to Justify his act. 1t is the
world-old game of justifying one folly
by charging a worse one. They over
look the fact that the QUESTIONABLE
itself grossly outrages the third para
graph of Article VI Of the Constitu-
ton, which says:
But no religious test shall ever be
required as qualification to any ofdce
or public trust under the United
States"
