The Authorship Of the Lasker ResOlu

WHAT MR. SIMON WOLF SAYS


WHAT Mr.. SIMON WOLF SAYS
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
When IlrSt heard, and subsequently read that
I was charged with being the author of the Lasker
resolutions, supposed 1t was joke some one was
playing in order to annoy Mt Ochltree; but now,
when find it has been telegraphed all over the
land, l cannot in justice allow the statement to
stand for it is absolutely and unqualitiedly false
was not In the city, but in North Carolina lectur-
ing, when Lasker died and when the resolutions
were offered In the House. and never knew Mr.
Ochltree until after Bismarcks brutal return Of
the resolutions am not disposed to shirk any re-
spOnSib1lity, but neither am willing to wear a
crown l had "nO part or lot" in creating. The
whole subject has assumed such character that 1t
Is no longer to be trifed with. 1t has owing to the
bunder1ng diplomacy, speaking mildly, OF Bis
marck, taken the shape OF a national insult, and
what was at first but the friendly greeting and
recognition Of Congress is to-day the rallying
ernmenu been wise enough to understand our way
OF parliamentary business they would quietly have
pCcketed the resolutions; but now the dead Lasker
will give them more trouble than ever the living
did.
No one wars with Germany or its people, least OF
all those who were born on its sol: but none OF
those to the "manner born" have half as much
contempt, or feel as Indignantly over this Lasker
imbrOglO, as the German Americans do; and all at
temptS on the part OF members OF Congress in high
or low places, editors subsidized or otherwise to
Sh1rk their duty, In order to please the German
government or Its representative here, will be
frOwned down. II We are free and sovereign
dignided silence The United States OF Germany is
merely question or time; let us not do anything
that viii in the least embarraSS the friends OF lib
erty abroad. Yours truly, S. WOLF.
