with power to order them into Mex-

began his fight to make the national
guard actually a federal force.
Opposition to the resolution. be-
cause President Wilson has not ap-
peared before congress in person to
explain the situation. seemed to grow
rapidly. Congressman Gardner asked
that the whole matter be postponed
for consideration until tomorrow.
Hay pressed for immediate consid-
|eration.
Declaring the action would not
constitute declaration Of war, nor
an admission that a state Of war ex-
lists. Hay brought the matter up Inn
|mediately upon the convening Of the
house. He asked the house to con-
sent to changes in the resolution, IN
effect placing on congress the re-
|sponsibility for drafting the militia.
Hay asked that the language Of the
draft empowering the president to
draft militia be made to read:
.'That in the opinion OF the con-
gress OF the United States, whereas
an emergency now exists which de-
mands the use Of troops in addition
to the regular army. the president Is
hereby authorized to draft into the
United States army. any or all the
members Of the national guard"
Republican Leader Mann objected
to having placed on congress the
responsibility Of declaring that an
emergency exists. unless President
Wilson should directly or indirectly
assure the house that such is the
case.

an emergency is present and 1t Is

Continuing, Mann said:
II do not know whether the
troops should be kept in Mexico or
not. 1t is evident that the troops
can not remain in the heart Of the
country without there being q GER
tain amount OF friction with Mexi-
cans. I can not see why they are
being kept In Mexico when they have
not accomplished what they set out
to do"
An amendment by Walsh shifting
responsibility to President Wilson for
calling the militia was defeated BY
a vote OF 122 to "a. The Hay amend

siders an emergency present, reQuir-

An enterprising Illinois newspaper
has been asking farmers wives what
they think Of the subject of good
roads. In a general way, it appears
from the answers, that it is agood deal
like asking a marooned sailor what he
thinks on the subject Of being rescued
It is winter or late spring; dirt
roads are almost impassable-which
means the womenfolk and youngsters
on the farm are virtually prisoners
They cannot go to town or to church
or to the neighbours. Or the going is
so distressful that only in an exigent
case will they attempt it. One woman
writes that the state of the roads
during many weeks in the year is the
one thing that makes her entertain
