competent source.
Answers Objections.
Mr.. McEniry gave the principal ad-
dress answering. during the course OF
his talk, some Of the objections which
had been made. He defended hard
roads as against any other kind. criti-
cised as un-American and unpatriotic
and disposition TO limit the franchise
10 those who have property and. re-
verting to the court house. declared
that while IL had cost a little more
than had been anticipated II is one of
the very best buildings OF the Rird in
the state and represents a larger re-
turn on the sum invested. Everybody
IN the county. he said. is proud Of the
court house as IL stands.
The speaker declared that much OF
the opposition to the hard road move
ment results from 4 suspicion OF men,
one which was largely unjustifable.
To illustrate the point the speaker
gave HIS own experience as a supporter
OF what was known as the Allen bill
when he was a member OF the state
legislature, and incidentally he paid a
warm tribute to l.. Y Sherman, now
United States senator, but then also
a member Of the legislature and a sup
porter of the bill. IF were a republi-
can I'd be for Sherman for reelection"
said Mr.. McEniry.
The speaker at some length defend
ed bond issue for permanent roads,
asserting that II the people OF Bowling
had such a highway from Milan south

under the proposed plan, at the end Of
five years they would not consent to
having the improvement taken away

cost them TO secure II.
Mr.. Searle spoke briefly. saying he
believed, If the people OF Bowling had
instructed their supervisor to oppose
placing the bond question on the bal
lot, they had done so without giving
the question due consideration from
every angle. He advised them to re-
consider the matter and vote with the
rest OF The county and be prepared to
accept the verdict, whatever it might
be- He lauded John Upton. super
visor from Bowling. who is chairman
OF the finance committee of the county
board, and who viii take a leading
part in handling the road funds If they
are raised by a bond issue.
The supper and bazaar by the ladies
OF the church returned them the sum
OF $3.50. They served between 200 and
300 people during the evening, includ-
ing a number of the Rock Island party.
Before leaving Mr.. Mitchell in a short
address thanked the ladies for their
courtesy and unselfshness in permit
ting the good roads program 10 be

WILSON WON'T HEED

Steering Committee Gets Orders
That Trust Programme
Must Go Through.
CAUCUS WILL BE CALLED
All Summer Session Predicted,
aud Candidates for Reelec-
ton Are Gloomy.

WASHINGTON, June 15.--Presdent Will
committee of the Senate to the White
House tonight to talk over the trust
legislation programme.
Among the Senators VINO responded were
Senator Newlands. chairman OF the Com
mlttee on Interstate Commerce Senator
Martin, chairman OF the Appropriations
Committee; Senators O'Gorman, owen.
Culberson, Hoke Smith. Clarke tArkan-
sas). president pro tempore; Kern, chair
man OF the caucus Thomas Chamberlain
and Simmons.
The conference lasted two hours. When
it broke up the Senators said that the
President was insistent upon the complete
trust programme. They told tho Presi-
dent that IL It we're once understood that
the full programme was to he passed the
legislation could be expedited.
All suggestions OF cloture were promptly
frowned down as impractical, II not i'm
possible. No DEFINITE time was fixed for
the adjournment OF Congress and II was
admitted that "A Democratic caucus would
be called later to act upon the trust bills.
An army OF glooms paraded the House
when Il became known that President
Wilson would insist on action at this time
on the antitrust bills.
At the close of last week members got
the notion that Mr.. Wilson might consent
to an early adjournment. 1t was known
that Leader Underwood favored adjourn
ment by August 1 and that he purposes
placing his views on the subject before
the President. The chances arc that Mr..
Underwood will not now call on the
President about adjournment
Mr. Wilson's announcement is tanta-
mount TO an order to all Democrats
They will remain on the Job If 1t takes all
summer Mr. Underwood left for Atlantic
City to-day. He will try to adjust him
self TO tho new order while sitting beside
the sad sea waves.
The President has been told by the
Senate leaders that unless no does con-
sent to such an arrangement Congress
is likely to be in session until october.
The prospect is disquieting 10 Senators
whose campaigns for reelection will get
under way within a few weeks.
Many members OF the House who have
fights ahead in the primaries in their
districts are eager TO get away. IL was
said to-day that seven Senators on the
Republican side have practically served
notice on the Democratic leaders that they
intend to sail for Europe within n month.

Importance
But coupled with these three mat
ters Is an another OF equally great
importance. we believe. to the best
interests of this country. and that is
Congress. which has been in session
for considerably over a year, during
which time II has done much credita-
bic work, should not try to do any
thing more at present. but should
cease its efforts. adjourn and go
home.
Especially do we recommend that
no further attempt OF legislation on
the matter OF the control OF business
should be continued at this time.
What the country needs now more
than anything else is a quiet time
an absolute rest. from the agitation

He virtually charged that an organized
confidence in the business outlook and to
force the adjournment OF Congress before
the completion OF the antitrust legislation
In setting forth his Views the President
asserted with great emphasis that all
the influence he possesses will be exerted

His statement In this regard was strong
enough to set at rest any doubt that may

Of tho country for the adjournment OF
Congress and the consequent opportunity
for the business world to have rest be-
fore the Congress election.
The expressions from the President
came at his regular semi weekly talk with

nounced that the White House would
make public copies of letters exposing the
lace OF those who are accountable for the
depression now existing.
The President then produced copies of

Attached 10 this letter was a form in
which recipients were urged to write to
members OF Congress with whom they
we're acquainted. the President and other
officials of the Administration and mem
hers OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
zion. This form contained u strong appeal
foI the adjournment OF Congress with the
postponement Of the antitrust programme
and for a favorable decision on the per
cent. rate increase asked by the railroads.
This was accompan by the form OF a
night letter telegram which business men
and other persons were urged to send to
officials and to make the same appeal.
On the night letter was the argument
that the new currency system should not
ne embarrassed by any new disturbing
legislative influence. such as the revision
Vt the antitrust laws
SO confident was the President that the
publication OF these documents would
silence the talk of business depression that
Re declared the movement did not need to

was all that was necessary.
