SMITH. of Idaho. and ALBERT JOHNSON. of Washington. have each served with us for 20 years. during much of which time Mr. SMITH was a very capable chairman of the Committee on Irrigation. the same committee of which I had the honor of being chairman about 16 years ago. and Mr. JOHNSON was chairman of the most difficult Committee on Immigration for many years. He is entitled to the everlasting thanks of our Nation for manfully and patriotically preventing the influx of many millions of utterly undesirable immigrants into our country. Both he and SMITH always handled the affairs of their respective committees in an honorable. courageous. and admirable manner. and they rendered splendid services to their States. to Congress. and to our country for 20 years. From my own State.
