EXTENT Of TUFTS
POWER QUESTIONED
RIGHT TO MOBILIZE THE
XATIOXAL GUARD DISPUTED
Military Official Insists State Execu
tives Must First Give .Their Consent.
Talk of mobilizing a part of the
National Guard as a possible third di
vision on the Mexican border iias
raised the question as to the extent
of President Taft's authority over the
state troops. It developed a conflict
of opinions between the war depart
ment and Capitol hill authorities.
A military official expressed the
opinion that the president could not
get the National Guard out of a
state without "consulting" the gover
nor and obtaining his consent.
Congressional authority is to the
effect that, under a variety of con
ditions, the president not only can
order out all the guardsmen who
have qualified under the Dick laws,
but can send them to foreign lands
regardless of the feelings of gover
nors. The first Dick bill, passed in 1903.
provided that the organized militia
that adapted th- organization, arma
ment and dis .-y.'.r.c of the regular
army should siiare in a fund of $1,
000,000 annually and receive, free,
all the equipments of regular army
soldiers.
The president was authorized, in
case of invasion, threatened invasion,
rebellion or "to execute the laws of
the union," to call out the militia to
serve for not more than nine months
In any part of the country. No men
tion was made of governors.
In 1903 a Dick bill to amend the
law of 1903 was passed. The annual
fund was increased to 12 000.000.
Additional demands were also made
upon the militia. The guardsmen
were required to serve for the full
tt-rm of their enlistment in the mi
litia, instead of only nine months.
The president was authorized to or
der them to serve "either within or
without the territory by the United
States," instead of only in his coun
try as provided by the original law.
The new law stipulated that i
calling out the militia the president
should "issue orders for that pur
pose, though the governors of the
states or territories from which such
troops shoufH be called, to such offi
cers of the militia as he may think
proper."
The burning question is whether
submission of orders through the
governors is only a matter of routine
or one in which they can exercise discretion.
When the bill was up In the house
Steenerson (rep. Minn.), chairman of
the committee that considered it, said
the president was authorized to en
force the laws of the union. A dec
laration of war Is a law. In order to
enforce such a law it might be ne
cessary to send the militia out of the
country.
"If this bill passes," said Repre
sentative Williams (dem. Miss.), the
president will have the right to wage
war without a declaration by con
gress and send the entire militia into
foreign ports to carry it on. Con
gress never intended to- place the or
ganized militia at the service of the
president to be ordered about at his
will."
"Under this law," observed Sher
ley, (dem, Ky.), "the president could
send the militia to the Philippines
tomorrow."
Despite -objections the bill was
rushed through and the president, on
the Capitol hill basis, seems to have
full authority to create a militia di
vision on the Rio Grande.

Was Put Off Of Train.
Some excitement was caused at the
depot this afternoon when a tall, well
dressed man was taken off of the train
by Officer Stansberry. Investigation
revealed that he was a colonist from
Pueblo who had been attempting to
ride first class on a second class tick
et. He had succeeded In doing It un
til he reached Huntington when a new
conductor took charge of the train.
The matter was argued until Pendle
ton was reached. When the train
pulled out of the city, the man was
still in the observation car and refused
either to pay the difference or to get
off. The signal to back up was given,
the train came back to the depot. Of
ficer Stansberry was secured and the
colonist is now In our midst. He be
gan Immediately to look for a lawyer
stating he would take the matter to
the courts.

Slouch Day Frowned Upon.
Yesterday was "slouch day" at the
high school and the boys and girls
appeared at their classes garbed In
overalls and gingham aprons. The
change, however, did not meet with
approval from their Instructors and
the students were dismissed early in
the afternoon to go home and attire
themselves again as befitted "their
rank and station." While the teach
ers are unanimous In declaring that
the amusement caused by the "slouch"
Idea was only temporary and did not
Interfere with the work of the stu
dents, still thev are not illnno,i t
allow any practice which might have
a tendency to detract attention from
their studies.
Took tlio Wrong Box.
The Alexander department store
came near being the loser of a box of
Panama hats valued at 1150 the oth
er day through the blunder of a farm
laborer. The hired man of Al De
spaln came Into town last week and
asked Bill Bailey, the popular clerk
In the Alexander store, for an empty
drygoods box and he was directed to
drive up back of the store and help
himself. Now it happened that a
shipment of spring hats had Just been
received at the back entrance of the
store and the man, not being of a cu
rious turn of mind, seized the nrst
box he saw without looking to see
whether it was full or empty. At It
happened. It was full and the con
tents were the afore mentioned Pan
ama hats which wer so light that
they did not betray their presence-.
The man drove off In ignorance that
he was hauling a load of expensive
headgear. Not long after. Bailey
armed with a nallpuller went back
to open up the shipment and discov
ered the loss. Frantically he called
the proprietors and reported a dar
ing robbery, but it so happened that
someone had seen Ms, Despaln'a man
load the box on his wagon and Roy
Alexander, suspecting the . mistake
which had been made, set out In pur
suit in his Franklin car. He over
took the man Just as he reached tne
Despain ranch and recovered the hats
from the dumfounded driver. Hence
forth, when giving an empty box away
Mr. Bailey will accompany the per
son to prevent a repetition of the
alarm which he felt for a few short
moments.
