Chairman. I move to strike out the lst word. While the gentleman from Missouri made the point of order against the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York. the fact is the work which wis proposed by the gentleman from New York. and which the Chair declared was without warrant of law by sustaining the point of order. is now being carried oil by the Bureau of Naturalization. If the gentleman from Missouri was correct in making the point of order. and the gentleman from New York was correct In conceding the point of order. and the Chair was correct in deciding the point of order. then the work is beilng carried on in violation of law. I have no doubt the Bureau of Naturalization is doing a great deal of good work in connection with the education of men who lave applied for their first papers. but. being without warrant of law and being in violation of positive law. the tendency is when anybody engages in that sort of undertaking they go too far.
