OHIO, but he does not yet sustain
that relation to the universe. NV
personal intercourse with the sena-
tor has shown him to be genial, gen.
erous and obliging, but l remember
when l had a very different impress
sion of him. | remember with what
frantic energy he used to wave the
bloody shirt, shirt stained blood
red with the crimson current of his
own rhetoric. | can remember when
he used to go raging over the land
a bifurcated, peripatetic, bob-tailed
volcano in perpetual eruption, belch-
ing forth fire and smoke and molten
lava from his agonized and tumultu-
Gus bowels. | remember when he
used to bespatter the south with the
gall of his bitterness until | some
times thought that he wished all of
the white people there-men, wo-
men, children and babes at the
breast-had but a single head so
that he Nigh smash it with one blow
He is the very last man to sit in
judgment upon any case of murder
where a negro was the murderer and
a southern white man the victim.
But | will not do the senator the
gross injustice of Judging him by the
words of his own mouth. When |
am asked by my friends in the south
if he is really as fierce and rabid as
he sOmetiems seems to be, | tell
them, No; that his ferocity is purely
Oratorical; that it is but the linger-
ing force of the tyranny of habit
which continues to have some power
long after it has been expelled from
the heart. We can remember when
it was nothing short of treason for
a democratic senator to question the
accuracy of any statement proceed
ing from the executive department
with respect to the conduct Of Ameri-
can soldiers. But no charge has ever
been made by any democrat in the
fiercest partisan debate equal in
gravity and severity to the charge
which the senator from Ohio has
made.
A Touch-up for Roosevelt.
Again he said Whence comes
this new found zeal for law and the
constitution? This particular act OF
the presidents is simply the occasion,
it is not the cause. y Then he went
on to show that the time has come
when the republican party leaders
felt that they must cut loose from
Roosevelt and get back to their old
party moorings, and he declared that
the republican party must either
nominate Roosevelt for president OF
give us back our platform.
But mark how he said it: The
president has made the mistake OF
compelling his party to violate all It's
traditions. to break with its old time
friends, the allies of a hundred bat
tles. He has forced the great cor
porations of the country to recognize
that there is such a thing as law IL
