An undercurrent OF insurgency
made its appearance in the confer
ence In regard TO the International
Humane association. A number OF
the delegates from Boston, Philadel-
phia and Detroit felt that the asso-
citation was progressive. and they
formed a committee, OF which Mr.
Jayne is a member 10 take steps to
bring about a change in the man
agement OF the association or form
new organization TO take its place,
10 a certain extent. The committee
aims TO make the proposed new so
ciety a part of the National Confer
ence OF Charities and Corrections
The spirit OF Socialism was also
strongly apparent In the conference,
and the following resolution was in
troduced by Benjamin c. Marsh. OF
New York, secretary OF the conges-
tion committee appointed by Mayor
Gaynor:
Whereas, II is the general con-
viction that the charities OF the
country are merely instruments
of the wealthy citizens and that
their executives and directors are
opposed to those fundamental
measures of justice which are
essential TO the eradication OF
poverty,
Therefore, In Difference TO our
self-respect, be IL resolved that
this conference or charities and
correction through the proper
officers request the speaker OF the
!, house or representatives and the
president OF the United States SEN
ate to appoint Joint investigat
ing committee to inquire into the
extent TO which the charities OF
the country are interfering with
the due course OF justice by de-
ceiving the people as to the real
causes OF poverty and fighting
against measures TO prevent pow
erty, and to make such recon-
mendations In the premises as il
may see fft
The resolution caused big stir In
the conference, and after hot de-
bate. was referred TO the committee
on resolutions. No report had been
made by the committee when Mr.
Jayne left

sessions in Washington on March G,
and 7, 1913. 1t Is stated that the sue
cess of the former convention was 50
pronounced last January that the
god roads board OF the association
has decided to make a federal aid
gathering an annual feature, until
federal aid has become a substantial
fact through congressional action.
The main idea is to secure Con.
gressional authority for the construc-
ton and maintenance of a comprehen-
sive system of national highways.
Tw0.thirds of the States of the Union
were represented by properly accred.
tied delegates ut the last convention,

of the work of construction, etc. or
course, its action will be one OF the
leading matters before the new Con.
gressional body, after il begins it's
usual grind after March 4th. No mat
ter what the present Congress may
do, its action will not by any means
be the last word On the subject, for
the association has so timed this con-
vention as to make 1t coincident with
the opening of the 'labors' of the
new Congress.
Born and raised in Lewis County,
in Ole Kaintuck, on the south bank
of the Ohio River, Senator Thomas
H. Paynter, who is in Washington as
q member of the Clapp Expense In
vestigating Committee, talks enthu-
siastically on the improvement of the
country's inland waterways and its
immense Importance to the whole
some progress of our national com
merce. There never vas a time,
he says, when we could better ap-
preciate than now the wisdom of the
provision of the makers of the Con-
stitution when they gave us the right
to care for the navigation Of the in
land waterways.
THAT right has become more than
a right; it has grown to be our in
perative duty to promote constantly

This is important. =
Cascarets work while you sleep;
