ILRPSEDP. " INRADD DDRESS ennessee Candidate Says ! People Are Less Attentive - to Duty Under Rule. Just because the preamble of the Constitution of the United States says that one of its purposes is “to insure domestic tranquillity” is no reason why people should write to the Department of Justice for adyice on matrimonial matters and counsel to the lovelorn, in the opinion of Assistant Attorney Gen- eral George R. Farnum. Yet, he avers, that is just what they do. In a paper which was read to mem- bers of the Columbian Historical So- By the Associated Press.

Clark, Mr. Farnum said that the department receives many letters ask- ing advice and assistance in domestic matters which lack that tranquillity of which the Constitution speaks. Un- fortunately, he explained, this branch of the Government has no facilities for | dealing out such assistance. Mr. Farnum'’s paper told the story of DRY LAW DEBATE STAGED IN SENATE Spirited Discussion of Prohibition Between Bruce of Maryland and Black of Alabama. A spirited debate over prohibition s staged in the Senate yesterday ween Senators Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland and Black, Democrat, of Ala- bama. Senator Bruce, after voicing his views on prohibition, discussed reports that some Southern States would send delegates to the Democratic national convention to demand a dry candi- date and a dry platform. Senator Black said he had waited for others to answer the Marylander, but that he could not wait longer. He id he was “tired” of Bruce's pointing “finger of scorn” at the South, he said, includes Virginia, e rest “the forbears of the Sen- ator from Maryland.” Black defended the South’s position on the dry law and its observance in reply to Bruce's denunciation of any movement for a dry Democratic presi- dential candidate and dry platform, as “of this organized hypoerisy.” Bruce prefaced his argument with the assertion of his belief that the Senate should discuss the subject daily > | until the Houston convention meets. After Black had replied Bruce saild he had not intended to confine his remarks concerning “organized hypoc- risy” to the South, but continued with another attack upon law enforcement methods in the South and Alabama in particular.

EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. Hit Unfair Millwork Practices. CHICAGO, May 16 (#).—Unfair prac- tices in the millwork industry were con- demned in resolutions adopted yester- day by 350 representatives of the in- dustry, meeting in conference here call- ed by the Federal Trade Commission. The resolutions will be presented to the commission. the department from its establishment in 1789 to the present day. The department was at first known only as the attorney general's office, Mr. Farnum said, and it was not until 1870 that its name became the Depart- ment of Justice. In the beginning it consisted of only one man, the Attorney General himself. His salary was $1,500 a year and no provision was made for an office or for any assistance. In 1818 the department was aug- mented by the creation of a post of clerk to the Attorney General. This job paid $800 a year, out of which the clerk had to supply his own stationery, the paper set forth. Previous to 1870 the various depart- ments had their own solicitors, but when the office became known as the Department of Justice this work was transferred to it. The scope of its work has increased until the present, the rlper said, “when it is not only the largest law office in the world, but also a great post-graduate school.” e KAUFMANN’S—1415 H STREET.
