Thex.Met.i in the Road

Last. week one day an auto
met q load Of wheat in the road.
The wheat could not turn out
and the auto did mot, but they
met face to face" The next
thing was some cross wordstan
and then there being two men in
each division there 'was'as fight.
The wheat boys claim to have
vanquished the auto boys. but we
are not prepared to testify. We
presume, however" that the lsto-|
ny as we have told 1t to you Is
.ttue. While the law demands
that each one shall yield half the
road, there are circumstances
where I'VE should notJdemand it,
The mere matter Of doing as we
wish to be done by makes travel
on the public highways perfectly
agreeable. \
when I'VE meet - man with q
team who kind easouEhito turn
out into the rough road and let
tisspass ina smooth track, we
feel like getting touteand taking
off our hat to him. when we
can do O man o service similar to
that when he has -ayheavy load,
we are, much pleased to extend
the eourtesy. Pratt Unicn.

farmers and laboring men. He
has always given preference to
union men and conducted the
Fort Scott Monitor under union

than the union scale on an eight
hour basis. He has always been
defender and advocate Of human
rights.
In his public and private life

J ing, standing on the Christian
side of all great moral questions,
his membership in the Methodist
church taught him that.

.DEWEY'S ADVICE
MAY BE Needed
Naval Officers Believe Con-
gress Will Accept Admiral's
Plea for More BattIeships.

Admiral Dewey's interview, stating
that We should profit by every lesson
! taught by the North Sea battle and show
ing the futility of battle-cruisers at
tempting to cope with battleships, found
unanimous support from line officers Of
| the service yesterday.
There is a confident feeling in naval
circles that this years building pro-
gram will be reshaped, as consequence
Senator Tillman's statement that the
American fighting feet must not remain
stagnant is taken as a hopeful sign.
Naval officers decline to believe that the
House will persist in ignoring the advice
of Admiral Dewey, and other naval ex-
perts especially since the North Sea fight
has clearly demonstrated that battleships
are the only type of craH which can
decide the issue in any large scale naval
engagement The naval battle has
emphasized that the United States navy
is far inferior to the German navy in
all types of craft
U. $. Cruisers Poor.
In a nutshell, the armoured British
cruisers which the British Admiralty con-
sidered unfit for effective service in the
North Sea fight, outclassed the best ar
incurred cruisers which our navy now
possess.
Naval experts emphasize the necessity
for reinforcing the fleet with at least two
of the most modern types of super
Dreadnoughts. The general board al
ready has plans drawn up for two or four
of these fighting monsters of approx
mately 5000 tons displacement and
equipped with 4-inch or 16-inch guns 1t
is the big ships that count and not the
number of little ones. they point out
The opinion was advanced that had the
American navy in combined strength en-
deavored to do what Rear Admiral Beat
ty attempted 1t would probably have
faced annihilation

WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. l4.- In both the upper and lower houses of Congress yesterday afternoon the sessions were very stormy and Presi- dent Wilson's watchful waiting pol icy as applied to the Mexican situa- tit was bitterly attacked and ridi- culed by the Republicans.
 In Congress several resolutions, de- signed to embarrass the administra- tion, were introduced by members of the minority party. The Republican members of the Mexican border states are demanding immediate arm ed invasion of Mexico in order thu !: the murderers of the American min CTS may be brought to punishme it.. The resolu,lons were disposed of by referring them to the committee on foreign relations from which they will not be reported back to the house.
 In the upper he use Senator J. Han Lewis of Illinois attempted to fore stall the Republicans by introducing a resolution empowering President Wilson to intervene in Mexico at any time if he believes the situation de- mands such action.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 14.- To head off a rush of vessels to the Panama Canal, which has been partly reopened, the War department has is- sued a warning to shipping interests that no predictions could be made as to when the stable channel would he opened to traffic.
 The report states that Gov.

AsQU|TH's BILL
 |S PROGRESSING
Many Members of the House of Con- mons Who Formerly Opposed
 now Favor Measure.

LONDON, Jan. 14-Premier cuith's modified conscription meas ure passed it's second reading in the British House of Commons yesterday afternoon. when nearly one hundred members who had formerly voted against the measure voted yes" Only thirty-four members voted against the bill.
 During the debate prior to the vote Sir John Simons, former member of Premier Asquith's cabinet but who had resigned in order that he would be free to fight the measure, bitterly assailed the premier's bill and dc- clared that if conscription was en forced that civil war in England would result. He declares that the labor unions of England, who control the destinies of the nation. will en- gage in a general strike when the first draft for compulsory service in the army is made upon its member ship.
 The modified conscription measure provides that young men. bachelors and widowers without children de pending upon them, between the ages of IS and AZ years, shall be included in the scope of the conscription in order that the new army may be rats- cd for the spring campaign. Owing to the fact that the measure provides tor the exemption of Ireland from conscription the Irish members took little part in the debate.
 A motion which had been introduc- ed in the House to reject the con scription measure was overwhelm- ingly defeated.
