Elected Speaker In 1919.
He was elected Speaker in March,
1919, after the Republicans regained
control OF the House.
Mr.. Gillett carried the conception
of the Speakership as a semi judicial
office to a higher level than did Champ
Clark, his Democratic predecessor,
who succeeded Mr.. Cannon. Mr.. Gill

taking the floor and from voting for

turned from Government to private
control They were in bad shape;
there was general business depres-
sion and Congress was attempting to
pass legislation to meet an unprece-
dented situation and to give the rail-
roads a chance to rehabilitate them
selves. Apparently irreconcilable diff
ferences existed between Senate and
House over the legislation which
went to conference. John J. Esch,
now a member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, was chairman OF
the House conferees and Winslow an
other.
This act had a most vital relation
to the prosperity of the country; 1t
enabled the railroads generally to
weather severe times.
To tell of all the personal achieve
ments Of Col. Winslow would require
a very long story. He put through
the House the act providing Federal
aid for the States in maternity ana
infant hygiene work. The legislation
which established the Veterans Bu-
reau and provided the first compre-
hensive program for the care of the
country's disa bled war veterans came
from Col. Winslow's committee, and
as chairman he had much to do with
the framing Of 1t. He has been
granddaddy to most OF the leGfSla-
ton passed in recent years for the
benefit OF the Coast Guard and the
Lighthouse Service. He has been the
foremost champion of the legisla-
tion for Government ownership of
the Cape Cod Canal. which he got
through the House in the last session
and has been active in work for leg
islation for Government regulation of
aeronautics and for consolidation of
railroad systems. More recently he
began a campaign, born of deep per-
senai conviction, for more and better
teaching of the Constitution OF the
country and its meaning in all
schools.
During the Sixty-seventh Congress
his committee reported out 1873 bills,
OF which 1853 became law This was
IT per cent Of all the laws enacted

gress the committee reported 1913

ROOSEVELT SEES DANGER

Declares Separation" From Army

Branches of Defense.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 24.-Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, former assistant
secretary of the navy, said in an ad-
dress here last night that separation
of the United States Air Service from
the Army and Navy would damage
the service of these two ma jor
branches of the country's defense"
BATTLES fought by air forces" he
said, "in practically all cases will be
fought either in behalf of the Army
or the Navy in order to facilitate
maneuvers of one or the other. The
land and sea planes are mechanically
related more closely to the Army and
Navy, respectively, than to each
other"
Although he said he was great
enthusiast for air service and be-
lever in new air routes, more air
plane mail facilities and the rebuild
ing of the entire air force, Col. Roose-
Welt declared the Nations defense
hangs as a whole on the mainte-
nance of our Army and Navy"
Economy, as advocated by those in
favor of combining the Army and
Navy air forces" he added, would
defeat the purpose of the air serv-
ice, in which economy Is the least
thing to be considered"
