Since 12 oclock today we have voted down the Father of his Country and his memory. because it was more important. I assume. that we discuss great questions affecting this nation. Since that vote was taken we have had eloquent addresses hereearnest ones. too--on imminent questions. such as are involved in a purefood law. in internal revenue. in the matter of Federal liquor licenses. on immigration. on prohibition in Maine and other New England States. and on that other longworn subject. the tariff. and. lastly. a most eloquent address on the question of ship subsidy in this country and in the world. These subjects furnish an excuse for not having a holiday in memory of George Washington. But we resolved ourselves into Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for the purpose of considering an appropriation bill for the support of the Army for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1907.
