against the protest of oc that maniber and another senator son ater but if the senate may do this it may also change the words of any members e bet speech to be sure the explanation appeared in the journal while the speech would not but it Is very doubtful whether any authority Is vested in the senate to put words into a senators mouth and record that lie he sall said something he say par it if the sell senate docant like the words used by a member it can undoubtedly exclude them from the journal but to change those words to some other words that do not by any means meang express the members idea he being there and insisting on the words he actually used Is we believe entirely unprecedented it Is 19 certainly unwarranted to cause the ibe journal to record the speaking speak lne ot of

but there has not been time tor for them to do this indeed a number of 0 the institutions hilll III not be reached at all before the legislature adjourns and mr dachel accounts are among those that cannot be checked up for want of time these experts besides being hampered through want of time have also been hindered by refusal of persons to give five such information its as was essential to thorough work the interests of the public demand that this checking be thoroughly done and we suggest the continuance of 0 anderson and warsh marsh to in their work with power to go 90 into all the
