Underwood Opposes.

The unusual spectacle of the leader
of the house majority leading the fight
against policy advocated by the titu-
lar head of his party, was furnished in
the house this afternoon
Representative Oscar w. Underwood
OF Alabama, chairman of the way and
means committee, vigorously opposed
repeal of the exemption granted Amer
lean ships in the Panama canal act.
He did not mention the president by
name, except, incidentally, and he
steered clear of direct references to
his chiefs recent message to congress-
His address was delivered before a
jammed house and crowded galleries
and punetuated by frequent applause
mostly from republicans.

Il believe the democratic party was
both wise and patriotic" he said,
when it announced a policy in favor
of discrimination in favor of our
coastwise ships and | believe there is
no reason at this time why we would
abandon q solemn promise made to
the American people in one of the
most prominent planks in our party
platform.
"But we are told that we are violat-
ing a solemn treaty made with another I
nation and in good faith that we
should abandon the canal to foreign
rivals without consent or dispute in
order that we may keep our standing
in the family of nations.

that we have violated a treaty right
or Great Britain seriously feels that
we violated treaty right
An Un-American Spirit.
Our whole difficulty in the matter
arises from the un-American spirit of /;
surrender that some of our own peo-
pie have exhibited toward this impor- ;
tant question from the very beginning.
If congress unanimously passed the |
Canal tolls bill two years ago, do
not believe that the question would {
ever have been raised 6
The majority leader held that the 6
Panama canal toll rates are fair and
lower than the Suez rates and that the t
exemption, as a subvention, is the f
only way in which America can build v
up it's marine in the coasting business.
In a careful analysis of the Hay

Underwood asserted that estimated el

Was Great Excitement.

There was great excitement in the
house when the votes came up on roll
call. The galleries were crowded and
while it seemed certain the admin

doubt existed relative to the strength
of the opposition. The second vote
taken on the 20-hour limit of debate
on the Simms' resolution was 199 to

which makes it attractive and out or the ordinary. The Japanese and Eng fish crepes co mein a variety of plain colors and a number of designs, be- sides possessing, like ratine, the same advantage of making ironing unneces- sary. Plisse crepes are also attractive for warm weather, as they are as light weight as lawn, can be washed. and dried quickly, and in an hour or so are ready again for service.
 In my second illustration, I have shown a shirt waist and skirt. The model of striped novelty cloth is an unusually up to date and conservative skirt for travelling, shopping and out ing wear. Concealed in the folds of the lifted pleat are pockets, which are a necessary addition to all the man. nish tailor-made skirts. The waist of Habutai silk is a late and fashionaD.e cut, with it's long shoulder-line and set in sleeves
 It has been a number of years since colored shirt waists have had the vogue that they are having this year. They are to be had in the stores, of colored linen, with collars and cuffs of em- broidery edging, or with collars and cuffs of the same linen piped in white, with the buttonholes bound in white. Also, the white waists are to be had with piped seams. Binding the front of waist in scallops is also a striking finish.
 Another charming waist had round ing revers of the doubled white lawn, which opened away from 8 set-in ves- tee of the same. The revers were piped with a narrow cording of blue. Attached to the end of the revers at the neck was collar of pleated lawn which extended straight across the back
 A simple but charming white crepe waist had collars and cuffs of white golfine. Colored golfine also was used for collars and cuffs for white waists.

THE MILEAGE QUESTION

Congress has been hearing conside- rable about the mileage of it's mem bers, of late, and has decided to save the taxpayers $100,000 a year on that item. Humanity ever asserts itself in these practical affairs of the pocket book, and, therefore, the mileage re- formers come from the geographical regions located closely to Washing ton. On the other hand, the men who always want more mileage live in the distant sections of the country.
 It will be remembered that during the last days of the last Congress, some of the greedy members sought to force an adjournment of the ses- sion for a few days before the begin ming of the new session in December, in order that they might get their mile age. Better judgment prevailed, and this little piece of graft was nipped in the'b bud.
 The present law grants to members of Congress from the Pacific Coast $12OO to $140O year more than to the member who lives within hundred miles of the city of Washington. Con- gressmen get twenty cents a mile; the army officers are allowed seven cents mile, and navy officers eight cents a mile. The witnesses in the federal courts are paid five cents a mile. Ap- parently, it makes some difference wno is travelling.
 The average mileage for memDers of Congress is about four hundred dol lars. In addition to that each member received $500 a year for clerk - :, and $125 year for stationery. So .t will be seen that there are a lot of comforts for member of Congress.

decadent race they should not be al lowed to work in industry until they are 16, or, better, IS years old.
 "The National Child Labor Commit tee presented to the conference for the first time a federal child labor bill drafted by the committee and banding in Congress. Samuel McCune Lindsay reviewed the attitude of the committee in the past and predicted that the same reasons which led the committee re- gently to endorse the principle would shortly bring about a genral demand for a federal child labor law.
 '"The other defenders of the bill were Felix Adler, who pleaded for clearer thinking and common sense as the pri- mary guides in division of power be- tween state and nation; Mrs. Florence Kelley, who gave incidents from her personal experience, illustrating at once the relative value Uncle Sam has placed on children and on food stuffs and the contrast between our disregard of state laws and our respect for fed eral law; and A. J. McKelway who quoted millions from the sensus to show the majorities of the American people who have already enacted state laws embodying the four provisions concerning ages and hours which the Palmer-Owen bill would apply to es- tablishments manufacturing goods for interstate commerce.
 Here, again, the fine temper of the New Orleans audience was manifest, for it listened with keen attention and enthusiasm to the speakers on the fed eral bill. Afterward, several business men confessed to immediate conver- sion to federal legislation on child labor.
 "When one remembers the relatively high standard of the Louisiana law as 1t is enforced in New Orleans and req! izes that the Palmer-Owen bill would affect New Orleans factories in only one respect, one wonders whether the real source of opposition is going to be not the states rights doctrinaire but the employer whose present convent ence will be at stake.'

PROGRESS THRU COOPERATION

Progress is only possible where there is mutuality and cooperation where we see the seeming paradox of individual liberty harnessed to the car of common veal.
 To certain persons of artistic tenn perament' the terms "commercialism" and 'fndustrialism" are anathema.
 They see no beauty in the smoke stack, the skyscraper, the huge mills, or the flying locomotive. They per ceive only the dewdrop, the lily, the clouds, the cobwebs, the moonshine.
 They rhapsodize about the sunset, but fail to see the magnificence of the workman at the forge-framed in glow ing gold-pOunding pliant metal into forms of use and beauty.
 The soapbOx reformer talks of the luXuries of the rich, and draws a har- rowing contrast between the Brussels carpet and the elbow-cushions of these parasites, and the "laboring classes" And some few, mistaking the shadow for the substance, the mirage of ease for the oasis of success, leave the beaten upward track and slide down the tOboggan of inertia into the bread line, where men shuffle into dusty death

WHICH SHALL 1T BE?
The Fl PasO Herald says:

The Fl Paso Herald says:
 Carranza's attitude appears to Amer jeans to be directly against the inter- est of the revolution. It has been made clear by President Wilson that the American government had no intention of proceeding in any way against the rebels, but only against Huerta. The American president has had no inten- tion of invading rebel territory or at tempting operations in the north. The presidents action from the first had been directly solely against Huerta.
 In view of this fact, it would seem as if the rebels would see that the United States is disposed to play their game. The United States would have crippled Huerta and put him out o. business. That is exactly what tne rebels have wanted. Why they now feel called upon to make the play that Carranza has indicated is beyond tn, comprehension of American on lockers.
 Rightly or wrongly, the United States government has heretofore al lied itself openly with the rebels as against the Heurta government. The government at Washington has been almost as much an ally of the Carran za-Villa forces as if there were definite cooperation. Carranza is taking the stand he now, is lifting his hand against his most powerful friend.
 One can only regret that the Con stituttionalists" seem so blind to Mexico's welfare that, to satisfy the personal pride of one or a few men, they are willing to plunge their coun- try into war. Certainly war is not of the American administrations seek ing, and even now there is no disposi- tion to press the issue. If hostilities they must be initiated by the mis- guided leaders of the revolutionary forces in Mexico. Upon them rests the sole responsibility just now for peace or war.

 houette is not lost. This hat is meant to be worn we'll over the face; the high French twist of the hair appears to cause this tile; but a bandeau at the back, covered with ribbon or mass ed flowers, also holds the hat aloft ]; while band of velvet or flowers often extends around the head below the twist, keeping the hat securely in it's place.
 The Louis XVI placques are being looked at and admired; but many wom- en feel that they are not becoming, anu can be worn only with dainty frilled frocks whose accessories correspond with them. This style of a hat Wi tailored suit would scarcely be in good taste.
 The jaunty all-black hat is the smart est for general wear. Colored hats are both beautiful and chic, but for prac- tical purposes they lack the distinction of the black hat. There are a few leg horn hats worn, for this is a straw which is always modish. No matter are pretty sure to flare abruptly at the side; and in order that it may fit the head comfortably, a bandeau of the straw is fastened to that side The close-fitting round hat, having a high crown, with or without straight mar row brim, is in vogue. These are trimmed with wings, flowers, and fruits, the favorites being grapes and cherries
 Taffeta and moire ribbon, and shiny satin ribbon with a patent-leath- CT finish, are used extensively in trim ming the morning or tailor-made hat. Tete de negre is used a great deal on black hats, and is very practical for the everyday hat, as the dusky brown goes with almost everything.
 The style which most fashion ex- perts believe to be among the smartest for summer wear is the long tunic, or Dutch skirt, very full and worn over a narrow underskirt, which shows about eight inches below the bottom of the tunic. A most striking suit which I have just seen is on this type of gown. The difference being that the tunic does not quite come together in the back, and is therefore more of

John Lind has been an important factor in the development of the plan or action in Mexico. He has even met informally with the President and Cabinet, and it has been commented that "the seal of secrecy was as firmly placed on his lips as upon those of cabinet members" Somehow. the af- fairs of executive sessions" of the Senate, Cabinet and official gather lngs of all kind seem to leak out; but never has this been so in the affairs Of John Lind, as it takes a corkscrew to get anything out of him.

JUDGE ACCORDING TO TIMES

Americans, as a people, are fair or, at least, wish to be fair. When we judge Moses and Aaron we judge them according to the times in which they lived. And when great agnostic wrote a lecture on "The Mistakes of Moses' we resented the proposition that Moses was a rogue and a robber because he made war on the Hittites Amonltes and Midanites. We invoked the statute of limitations by saying that these things happened over three thousand years ago, and, besides, did not Moses lead the Children of Israel out of captivity?

LOYAL SPANISH-AMERICANS

No one need be apprehensive abou. the attitude of the Spanish-American citizens of this Southwestern section in the event of hostilities. There will be none more loyal to the flag under which they live, than these native Americans. It is wrong to suspect them of any but the highest senti- ments of attachment to the American government, as contrasted with their feeling toward any other government or flag.
 The Spanish-Americans, native to the soil of Arizona, volunteered in such large numbers to uphold the Union during the Civil War in this country, that New Mexico actually sent into the Union army a greater percentage of her population than any other state or territory in the Union. New Mexico exceeded even the District of Columbia in her contribution of men to the vol unteer forces of the Union, even tho the District of Columbia was at all times directly menaced by the con federate armies and was forced to large levies for self-defense.
 New Mexico, leading all the common wealths of the American nation in - of men for the national de- fense, in proportion to population. thus demonstrated the essential loyalty the native Spanish-American to his flag-the flag of the United States.

The gabardine jacket, of Kimono cut, has narrow sleeves, and. the rounded back drops below the waist line and slants up to a point over the chest, where it is fas- tened with a single button. This IS worn over a moire silk waistcoat with a large flaring collar.

 For my first illustration this week I have chosen a simple and stylish frock for morning and house wear.
