WASHINGTON. Oct. 15 Presl dent Wilson'! neutrality proclamation wua Igntred In the house today by Representative Gardner of Massa chusetts when he bitterly denounces the Gi rmnni and placed tlie respon alblllty for the European conflict up on the kalier and Prussian' nillltar Urn. "It is true." said Gardner, "that In respect to the present European waf my views are not those of a neutral. I am entirely convinced that the Ger man enme Is unholy and a menace to the principle! of democracy. Fur thermore. I believe the god of but tles ill visit defeat upon tne Ger man. Hut no matter which !ld wlnn. we must remember that since the beginning of time, victorious na tion! have proved headstrong and high handed. We must li;ln Imme diately t' reorganize our military strength If we expect to resist that high-handedness when the d.iy of ne cessity arrive!" GnrJner asserted that, the United States must prepare for war and that the if fed of the sums of money Car negie had ipent on peace propaganda had to n to blind Americana to .th! fact that their national security from a military standpoint had been un dermined. Gardiner Introduced a resolution providing for a commission of three senators and three congressmen ana three others to be named by the pres. Ident. to Investigate the preparedness of the United States for war. "I simply cannot understand," continued Gardner, "how any Intell igent Mudcnt of history can full to see thut we arc Impotent to defend ourselves and enforce the Monroe Doctrine by mnrul suasion and finan cial might alone. The time haa not come when the United States can af ford to allow the martial spirit of thi people to be destroyed, and alt Car neple millions will not silence those of us who believe that bullets can not be Mopped by bombast, nor pow-. der vanquished by platitudes."

The letter sets forth that i largo percentage of the cotton raised In J the south Wh ear la exported to Europe and that the war has shut off all this export trade. As a result. H is stated, there will bo a surplus of 6,000.000 bales left In the south this, year ofter all of the mills of thla( country have been supplied. The sit uation has resulted In cotton prices being forced below the cost of pro-, auction and threaten! a paralysla of( business tn the louthern statei. 1 The plan adopted for relief Is to have the city govornmenti of th north and weBt, commercial organisa tions, business houses and Individu als buy the surplus In small loU at u normal price and hold the cotton off the market until the war Is over. The Investment will be a good one, It Is pointed out, Inasmuch as cotton prices are bound to Boar aa aoon aa peace Is declared. Already, the let ter states, thousands of bales have been disposed of In this manner and the local people are requested to uy one bale or more; either having the cotton shipped here or held in somn- em warehouses subject to their or-i ,i.,e Thero are BOO pounds of cot ton In a bolo and the proposed" price to ten rents a DOUnd.

CITY GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE DRASTIC ACTION AGIST N. P I 'I The TenileUn city government ! and the Northern Pacific Railway Co. are In a state of war. Acting Mayor John Per and the council last evening formally declared hostil ities against the railway company as a result of the attitude of the com pany officials toward the requests and demands of the council for the making of certain Improvements on their property. The city's first move against the company will be an ordinance requir ing a warning bell to be put In at East Webb and Court streets and a watchman to be stationed at every crossing where the X. P. line Inter sects a street. The situation has been brought about by the failure of the company to comply wUh an order from the council to put in several blocks ojC new sidewalk on West Webb street and also by what the councllmen term the botch Job done by the com pany in paving between Its tracks. Some months ago both the O.-W. R. & X. Co. and the N. P. were in structed to pave between their tracks, the former where Us line Intersects paved streets and the latter on Webb WILL EILLILAIID ACAIII ASK FOR ED SALARY; HE DOES HOT SAY If T. P.

It will be remembered that during Gll lilands former term as Judge he en deavored to have the legislature add $600 per annum to his pay. The measure fulled because a protest aguinst the scheme was made by a large number of farmers, mostly In the Athena country. The subject of Gilliland's attempt to get his salary raised after he had sought election with a full under- standing as to size cf the Judgeship salary was recently commented on by ; J T. Lleuallen. What Gilliland will do this Uine if elected he has not yet stated, though his opponent Charles II.

Last cvtning Mayor Pyer declared for drastic action and, forthwith in structed the ordinance committee to prepare an ordinance requiring te warning bell and the watchmen. The council backed him up In his atti tude. Under the police powers of the city the council has the authority to' take these measures and the ordi nance will probably be Introduced at the next meeting.
