know Of no war IN which Great Britain
has been engaged-except that resulting
in the Independence Of the American COLI

Great Britain has suffered exceptional re-

the war has knit together every branch Of
the English-spesking race, making all feel
that they have a great common destiny
which is their duty TO accept. These are
thoughts which ought TO support US in far
greater trials than this war may produce.
Remember that a Nation which can not

Senator Focht also stated that Mr..
Widener had commented upon Col.
Quays home life, and paid handsome
tribute to him for side of his charac-
ter which is not appreciated by those

tionS.
INSURGENTS IN A RAGE.
Since the publication of this inter-
view the insurgent newspapers have
been making all sorts of excuses for
Widener. Some have gone so far as
to print statements purportine to come
from Widener, denying that he said
what has been credited to him, but the
fact remains that no authorized denial
has been sent out by Mr. Widener, and
Senator Patterson, to whom Mr. Wild
ener referred several newspaper men,
has, over his own name. corroborated
Senator Focht in his report Of the
eulogies of Col. Quay by Mr.. Widener.
The insurgents seem to forget that
Widener is practical man; that he
knows that large majority of the
Republican members of the state SEN
ate and the house of representatives
are favorable to Col. Quay for United
States senator; that many of them
were nominated and elected on this
issue, and that they could not If they
wanted to go back upon the expressed
will of their constituents without for
ever blasting their political futures.
Mr.. Widener wants to go to the Uni
ted States senate. There can be no
doubt of that, but he recognizes that
he must have the support of the regu-
lar Republicans to go to Washington
and that no alliance between the insur-
gents and the Democrats could elect
him to the senate.
