When the House met, Friday. but
little more than an hour remained Of
the time for general debate on the army
reorganization bill.
Mir. Henderson, Rep, Iowa. was the
first speaker He had, he said. been
SLOW to catch the war fever last spring.
He had foreseen some of the future
trouble as the outgrowth of the diff
cultieS which bcset us at our immediate
doors. but he had not anticipated that
we would be carried to another hemi-
sphere 1000 miles from our shores
He looked with aversion upon any
proposition to increase the regular
army and he hoped it would not be
necessary to establish a standing army
of 100000 men. He WIS willing to
cheerfu'ly support a proposition to in
crease the army to 10000 or $1,000 men,
but if Congress must go beyond that
he trusted that no provision for 100, 900
men will be made but that discretion
be lodged with the President The
President could be trusted. There was
nothing in this country to call for Il
standing army of 100000 men. The peo-
pie We're peaceful and there was abso-
lutely nothing in the United States to
draw the fire of the guns of any other
country on the globe.
Henderson spoke of the demonstra-
ton of the ''kickers" which the country
and the House had witnessed The
kicking had begun before the war was
fairly under way. Some kicked" at
the President. some at the secretary
of war. some at the staff, some at the
adjutant general. Ii was easy to kick

all of the members of the commission.
Adverting to Johnson's speech.
Wednesday. he said, that never had lie
heard a speech so deserving Of the
condemnation of patriotic hearts.
What crime had the President com
mitted? The President had done
everything possible to prevent the war.
There was not enough powder in the
country to last our guns "a hours,
there were neither arms. ambulances,
surgical instruments or other equip
ments. When war came he quickly set
factories and arsenals in motion. Then
he forced the fighting in two hemi-
spheres and 113 days he had whipped
the enemy on land and sea and had
wound up the war before the people of
the country had fully realized that it
had begun. Was that a crime? He
had driven the enemy from Cuba: he
had seized Porto Rico and the richest
island of the Ladrones. Was that
