morning over the military approprIa-
ton. 1t was long and windy and end
ed in the militia's being knocked out
for keeps.
Aylett reported for the minority
concerning the militia and said that
while he was in favor of a cut in the
appropriation he did not favor it's
complete humiliation.
Emmeluth led of for the majority
as follows:
Mr.. Speaker, we have passed the
| time when force is needed to accom-
plish the enforcement of our laws
Not a single soldier is needed any
longer. and an attempt at keeping the
military afioat viii simply be to per-
! petuate the conditions of the past
| What is the need of enforcing justly
| applied law? Did not President Nc
| Kinley tell us to use justice in all
| our transactions? Let us follow his
advice.
~The labor conditions here are such
as are met with nowhere else in the
Union. Why. just this morning a Por-
| to Rican asked me for twenty-five
cents as he had no work and was
| half starved. We are to blame in this
matter, for had we got move on
earlier in the session, we could east
| " have put a stop to all this business.
Gentlemen. l would much rather pay
| $50. 900 more to the school fund than
give one cent to the military.
Several of the members now open
ed a small sized bombardment upon
the statesman from the fifth and he.
was kept busy sending back hot shot
in return.
From the remarks of the ex-oli-
garchist." Robertson said beginning
the onslaught. zone would suppose
| not a single soldier existed in the en-
tire United States. Intact his speech
is a paralyzer. but Notwithstanding
that lust the reverse of its statements
is correct. In every state soldiers
are present in abundance and are used
in case of need I agree with Mr..
Aylett in advising large cut in the
item, but not an entire wiping out OF
the military"
81 admit that every state has its
militia" Emmeluth replied, executing
a flank attack. .'but in every case the
militia is used for the subversion OF
the poor. Oppression and rank muir
| der are INDUCED in every time the
poor man revolts and strikes for a
higher wage. Remember the Cour-
d'Alene mine trouble when the owner
died worth s40000,000, after that
scene of bloodshed and violence. We
are new territory, gentlemen. Let
us profit by the experience of our
sister states and territories"
81 have only a few remarks to
make" Hoogs began, $50 that | viii

with Mr.. Emmeluth is talking through

| So Owing to labor troubles. several
plantations are running behind in
their expenses. among them being the

luth. was getting So a day, that
would not cause the shortage. Other
reasons are at the bottom of it all -
Makekau then gave a little lecture
on the Emmeluth of old. dealing N
"reminiscences He recalled the time
when Emmeluth had in mind the
