POLITICAL
GOSSIP FROM
WASHINGTON

Washington, April Especial cor
respondence.)-"If this administra-
ton has an idea that we are going to
get Villa in a hurry, I am afraid they
do not know Mexico" said a southern
member of congress whose district is
close down toward the border line.
Sunless he is betrayed by some of his
own men, I am inclined to think our
soldiers rae going to have a long chase
which may prove expensive in lives as
well as in dollars. If any one recalls,
with an army of n million men, the
Northern men could not catch Col.
Mosby in the Civil War, notwithstand-
ing every effort was made to get him.
I merely point this out as an illus
tration of how hard it is to capture a
man who knows every inch Of that
country he is in and every hiding place
there is in it."
The thing that is going to keep us
prespiring here in Washington, politi-
cally as we'll as personally, this sum-
mer, said a prominent democratic
member of the house, "is, where are
We to get the money to run the gov
eminent. We can meet the other ext
gencies of the occasion without great
anxiety or much trouble, but every
democrat who Uses his thinkinf appar-
atus is doing some deep studying and
his hair is turning gray trying to fig
ure out how we are to make ends meet
and at the same time go before the
country and ave our faces. That is
what will keep Congress sweltering
here in August, if anything does"
ut has now been nearly four months
since Representative Hill of Connecti-
cut introduced a bill which provides
that the duties On d~yestuffs be raised
SO that American capital can be m
ployed in building up this industry
and American workmen be given m
ployment in this line of work, as we'll
as in other manufacturing industries
where dyes are necessary to keep the
factories running, said Representa-
tive Edward H. Wason Of the second
New Hampshire district. "Yet moth
ing has been done. Industry has been
crippled and people are being kept out
of employment due to the inactivity
and apparent indifference of the ma
jority members of the Ways and
Means Committee. If there is one
thing that points to the necessity and
the need of Republican control of this
nation, it is this tWatchful waiting
policy of the Ways and Means Com
mittee on this dyestuff bill"
