Washington Letter.

Washington, Oct. 8.-(Special cor
respondence)-The bill for the COM
Wandering Of all the electric power
plants in the country was damned
through the House of Representatives
by means of the usual special rule
sitting debate. Under the resolution
reported from the Committee on Rules
1T was provided that all debate on the
oil should be limited to four hours,
after which it should be considered for
amendment under the I'VE minute rule
Upon completion of the measure in
Committee of the Whole the special
rule prescribed that it should be re-
ported to the House and the previous
question he considered as ordered.
The consideration of the rule itself
was limited to 40 minutes upon motion
,of the Democratic Chairman of the
Rules Committee. That is but slight
modification of the method that has
been followed by the party in control
of the House in putting through all
of it's most important legislation. In
this instance, if the time had been
apportioned equally among the mem
bership of the House. each Congress
man would have had little less than
one minute in which to present the
views of his constituency of approx
imately 100000.
For scores of years the right of alb
sent Senators and Members of the
House to have their views recorded by
means of pairs has been recognized.
Occasionally the pairing, particularly
in the House, with its large member
ship, leads to confusion, but the great
convenience of the system is admitted.
A short time ago an effort was made
by a Democrat from Texas to require
that in the future no pair should be
recognized unless it was signed by
the members involved. Of course such
a restriction would practically destroy
the value of the present system, and
result in members constituents being
kept in ignorance of his stand on many
prominent questions. Congressman
John w. Langley Of Kentucky made
an objection to the proposed arrange
ment, and as its success required

WANT APPROPRIATION
FOR SOLDIERS MEMORIAL

To Individually honor all young
men Of Michigan killed in the great
war, Auditor General Oramel B. Full
er, plans to suggest to Governor AL
bert E. Sleeper that the legislature be
asked to appropriate money to each
county, to which the supervisors must
add sum which, 1they deem wise, to
erect monumentsa.coptaiiping the in
dividual names of soldiers and sailors
killed.
General" Fuller bslieves that
$4,000 or $4,000 should be the amount
appropriated by the legislature to
each county for this purpose.
"The haphazard manner and the
long period of years over which Mich
igan has erected monuments to the
heroes of the Civil war;" stated Mr.
Fuller, "makes me believe that right
n.w is not too soon to start planning
to honor the memory of the boys who
are killed in this war. / think the
legislature should appropriate $4,000
or $4,000 to each county to put up az
enduring manument for the heroic
dead in each county. The money
should go to the county supervisors,
who should add enough more for an
appropriate monument and pick the
site. The legislature should not say
the monument should be in the county
seat, the largest city or any place else.
The supervisors should pick the site.
"The name of every man in the
county who dies in this war should be
engraved on the monument. Because
the system has been changed you

NEWBERRY VS.. FORD
Newberry Not Too Proud to Conduct
Political Fight, But Too Busy
As a Naval Officer

"Ex-Secretary of the Navy Truman
H. Newberry," says the New York
Tribune, in it's issue of September II,
Republican candidate for United
States Senator from Michigan against
Henry Ford, Democratic candidate,
told his friends that he is not going
to take an active personal interest
in his campaign. Newberry is lieu
tenant commander in the navy, station
ed in this city.
"tCommander Newberry is in the
Berkshires on a brief vacation, but
he will be back at his office in the Ste
wart Building the latter part Of the
week. one of his aids said yesterday
He will remain here in New, York,
attending to his duties ass an officer
of the navy, and his friends in Mich
igan will do his campaigning for
him. The people of Michigan under
stand the situation perfectly. The
Democrats would be only too glad to
see Commander Newberry drop his
official work here in New York and
take charge of his own campaign in
Michigan. He won in the primaries
while discharging his official duties
in the navy. He places the war work
ahead of everything. The Republic
car, managers, of course, would like to
have him home where they could con-
fer with him, but he is going to stay
right here in New York."

can't erect monuments to a regiment
now as you could for the Civil war
regiments. The boys are scattered
now. Each monument should bear the
names of all the boys in the county.
"The poor boy living in some out
township is just as much entitled to
have a monument as the man worth
millions. There's boy who played
with my boy, when they were kids.
He drove me about. He was killed
going over the top the other day.
Now that boy is deserving monument
but his parents can not put one up for
him. The county should put one up
and engrave his name on it,"

Allied Forces, in the great action in Picardy.
Americans at home were deeply stirred yesterday by dispatches
that described the long professions of men, horses, artillery and cam
ions moving through the towns and over the open roads of France as
Uncle Sans boys went singing on their way to the biggest battle in
the worlds history.
Nothing could have reused American enthusiasm to a higher
pitch than the prompt acceptance by France of the full American
strength at Gen. Pe%rshings disposal to help meet the present emer-
gency.
Nothing could have better satisfied American judgment and
strengthened American confidence than that uniicauon of military
command which this Nation had urged upon the Allies.
Under Commander Foch the strongest force the United States
can as yet contribute will be applied by an experienced, thoroughly
tried General whose capacity has been evident since the Marine
Whether he throws the American troops Immediately against the Ger
man offensive or holds them for the Counter blow the Allies are
expected presently to strike, it is certain that in his hands the fighting
power Of the United States Army now in France will not be wasted.
How long this battle will last no man can say In the case Of
Verdun the German advance was halted in five days, but at the end
of five months the battle was still in progress. II the present action
develops a proportional magnitude, many more American soldiers will
be rushed overseas and many more American columns will march
singing to the front before the victory is won.
The Stars and Stripes are now in the thick of il. They have got
TO have all the unfahing, increasing support of men, guns, aeroplanes
and supplies that American energy working at top speed can load
on ships.

A BIG DIFFERENCE.

VSHE shooting of a New York gambler known to be in touch
with the District Attorneys Office, and in a position to
furnish information highly damaging to other gamblers in
the city, naturally recalls the Rosenthal case.
But the city can congratulate itself that. in a sense more impor-
an rom the point OF view Of public safety and order, the parallel
with the Rosenthal case is SO Far imperfect. =
There is no reason to think that behind the killing of Harry
Cohen there is any Becker to shock New Workers into new distust OF
a Police Force which has been proving itself worthy Of their. conf.
dence. The gamblers code has not ceased to embrace pistol action
on occasions. A gamblers row based on fear Of an informer is quite
sufficient to account for the murder Of Cohen.
The New York Police have certainly earned the right TO have
the killing OF a gambler at the present time kept distinct in the pubIic
mind from the past scandals of the Rosenthal-Becker case
