NAME DELEGATES
William McCuaig May Appoint Three
to Attend American Road Con-
gress at Atlanta, Georgia.
DISCUSS FEDERAL AID PLAN
Important Move Bearing on State
Legislation Will be Made-Spe-
cialists to Lecture. j

Bemidji is likely to be represented
at the fourth American Road Con
gress which is to be held at Atlanta

Der 9, and William McCuaig, mayor,
has been requested by A. B. Fletcher
president, to name three delegates,
under the leadership of the American
Highway association and the Amer
lean Automobile association.
In his letter to Mayor McCuaig,
President Fletcher calls attention to
the fact that practically every state
highway commissioner will be pres
ent and take part in discussing the
important problems of road construc-
tion and maintenance, and that
some of the foremost men in public
life will devote their attention to
the great question of federal aid to
road improvement, in an endeavor to
work out a policy which may be sub
mitted to the congress of the United
States with the support of the Or
ganized road movment of America.
The Merit System.
An important move bearing upon
state legislation will be made at the
session to be held under the auspices
of the American Bar association, at
which a joint committee, appointed
at the 1913 congress, will report
progress in compilation and suggest
ed revision of state roal laws The
creation of a commission participa-
ted in by each state to work out a
revision fthe road laws will be
urged. The National Civil Service
Reform league will hold an exceed
ingly importont session on the merit
system in road administration.
Attention to Exhibits.
President Fletcher calls attention
to the exhibits to be made by the
United States government, the states
and more + han hundred of the lead
ing manufacturers at the congress,
which will Illustrate every known
method, material and equipment For
road construction and maintenance.
He urges that the city and county he
officially represented, as the con-
is in reality training school where
very great amount of useful infor-
nation can be obtained through at
tenance at lectures with leading spe-
cialists in road AMI street work. and
the collecting of the many instruc-
tive bulletins which will be available
for distribution.
The headquarters of the congress
are in the Colorado building, Wash
ington, D. c., in charge of I. S. Pen
nybacker, executive secretary, and
the exposition is in charge of Charles
P. Light. business manager.

METHOD NOW APPROVED
Policy of President Wilson in Mexi-
can Trouble Now Shown to Have
Been Correct. o.


BY Congressman c.. H. Tavenner.
Washington, August 19.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt returned from South
America just at the time the Mexican
situation was at it's most critical
point. 1t was expected that Theo-
dore Roosevelt would have someth-
ing to say about President Wilson s
Mexican policy. He did. He did
not even wait until his ship landed
in New York; but in South America
he made the utterance that our new
American diplomacy was the laugh
ing-stock of Europe. : Ssz~5
Things have happened since bhen:
The American Diplomacy of moral
-ity:~ and Righteousness inauguarated
by President Wilson prevented; war
between the United States and Mex
leo, although war seemed inevitable.
The refined European diplomacy, the
sort admired by Col. Roosevelt, has
plunged all Europe into war.
Thrones will totter, and some of the
diplomatists who Col. Roosevelt said
were laughing at our diplomacy. will
find themselves out of jobs.
But the European diplomatists by
this time have probably ceased to
laugh at President Wilson's kind of
diplomacy. The laugh seems to be
on this side of the ocean. But there
is no laughter. The same doctrine
of morality and Righteousness which
President Wilson applied to the Mexi-
can problem will later he offered to
Europe in an effort to bring about
peace.
The President is Right.
Price of cattle going down, price
of beef going up" This was. the
heading of a newspaper dispatch
printed in a Washington Newspaper
last week and which was read by
President Wilson and members of
Congress. -.
Th fact that other commodities
controlled by combinations and trusts
are also mounting skyward in price
aroused the President to action.
President Wilson has made a ten
strike by calling the attention of the
Department of Justice to the present
situation and demanding that every
legal means be used to protect the
ultimate consumer. The public
should prepare itself for the cry
that the administration is attack.
ing business" That is true. Tt il
attacking dishonorable business. II
has been attacking dishonorable
business. It has been attacking
dishonest business for some time and
the men who have been crying calam.
ity and declaring that Wilson should
withdraw his antitrust measures
and that congress should adjourn
are the men who are today forcine
prices upward and using fake wal
scare as basis for the boost. :;

Throws Bomb; Explosion
Causes Earthquake Scare

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Twenty
families ran for the fire escapes In
the six story tenement at 430 West
Thirty-ninth street early this morn
ing when a bomb was exploded on
: the ground. flor of the building. Plas-
ter crashing from the walls of all the
flats in the house caused a binding,
choking dust TO fill the Railways and
stair shafts, and the frightened ten
ants thought that the building had
taken fire.
Scantily clad and with only the
more valuable of their belongings in
their hands more than hundred ten
ants scurried down the fire escapes
to the street. Many threw their be-
longings into the areas in the rear of
the tenement and afterward had
some difficulty in finding their prop
erty.
Patrolman Woods, of the West
Thirty-seyenth street station, shortly
after midnight this morning heard an
explosion just outside the fiat occu-
pied by Antonio Caltbellotta, who
lives on the ground floor of the tene-
ment.
Woods found the rear hallway lead
ing to the yard back of the Caltbel-
lotta fiat a wreck. Timbers, buried
under plaster dust, strewed the hall.
Judging from the damage done by the
bomb the police believe that 1t was
filled with dynamite.
Many could not be persuaded that
the San Francisco and Massina dis
asters were not to be repeated and
great excitement was caused when
an italian ran through the street
shouting, Remember Messinai" and
Ehrieking that the Woolworth build
ing had fallen down.

woman replied.
Last night Mrs. Hogan heard her
groaning, and she called Patrolman
