JONES FLAYS ROOSEVELT ON
THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE.
The Roosevelt Rule Would Have the
Judges Instruct Juries on Pub
lie Sentiment. Not Law.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Roose-
welt was portrayed in the senate to-
day as the counterpart Of Pontius Pi-
late.
The picture was drawn by Senator
Jones of Washington, who sketched
as the groundwork the recent De-
troit speech Of the former president
condemning the votes of the majority
members of the Lorimer committee,
favorable to the Illinois senator, as
not being responsive to the sentiment
Of their constituencies.
This is the latest rule for judi
cial action suggested by this self-pTo-
claimed leader of progress" said
Senator Jones. Because we have not
followed it we are not progressive
but reactionary. This was the rule
of action followed by PLATE nearly
nineteen hundred years ago. This
is the first time, / venture to say in
our history, or in the history of any
civilized people that Pilates rule Of
judicial action has met the approval
of any men save those who would

reveals the existence of similar con-
dltlons during all known periods Of
the past. We are told that the ladies
OF Lesbos slept on beds of roses
whose perfume had been artificially
heightened, and in those times court
maldens powdered their hair with
gold. Perhaps Marc Antony's daugh-
ter did not change her dress half a
dozen times a day, as do the Newport
graces, but she had the lampreys in
her fish pond wear earrings.
The dresses of Lolita Paulina. the
rival OF Agrippa, were valued at So
664, 48O. This did not include her
Jewels. She wore at one supper 81
ooz,V0o worth of jewels, and it was
a plain citizen affair at that. The
luxury of Poppae, beloved by Nero,
was equal to that Lolita. The wo-
men OF the Roman empire INDUCED

but, at the demand of the people,
turned him over to them for cruci-
fixion, he would have clapped his
hands and exclaimed, Most right

Judge At least he would have done
this if he had been as progressive
as he is now. | am charitable enough
to believe, however, that he would
have been a reactionary."
Senator Jones prefaced his speech
by saying that those who expected to
hear the sensational would be disap-
pointed, and that those expecting a
discussion of the presidential cam
paign need not listen. He said he
would not discuss politics. He re-
cited rapidly conditions which made
the present time prosperous, but said
that with everything to make us hap
by I'VE are engaged in a saturnalia
of political Vituperation.
Passion and Prejudice.
Justice and fair dealing are
thrown to the Winds" he added.
Appeals to passion and prejudice
displace reason and logic. Vileness
and corruption are sought for eager
ly and we rejoice if we are success
full in our search. Sinister motive
prompt those who disagree with US,
and none is good save ourselves.
Under the banner of progression
anarchy is preached in honeyed
phrase and fulsome fattery. Our
sense Of justice and fairness is dead
ened by loud defamation and insidi-
Gus suggestions.
A new Richmond, however, has
rushed upon the political field. The
real, consistent, faithful leader of
radical political thoughts, whose
courage, consistency and faithfulness
we all admired, even if we did not
accept the doctrines advocated, be-
came i'll and exhausted. The banner
he was faithfully and bravely carry
ing was dropping. This new Rich
mond rushed upon the political
scene, threw his hat into the ring,
and shouted to the wavering hosts to
follow him in the highways of prog
ress and victory. Hoping to reap
where others had sown he sought to
pluck the fruit of victory to his bos-
ON. Having worked and won with
the despised standpatters, and not
being practiced in the principles of
modern political progress, he, with
the recklessness of ignorance and the
rashness of the new convert, is ap-
pealing to all that is base, selfish
and unjust in the apparent hope of
gratifying an Unsuitable ambition

A GOOD ADDRESS BY HON. M.J CLEARY
An Interesting Program Carried Out i'll the First War
Park---Good Vocal and Instrumental Music.
DAY TO BE HAD IN REMEMBRANCE.

Memorial day was fittingly observed
in Mineral Point last Thursday, when
our citizens en- masse entered into the
the spirit Of the occasion and joined
the veterans Of the civil war in paying
tribute to the nation dead who fell in
defense Of the flag. The day was ideal !;
but notwithstanding favorable circum
stances the dwindIing ranks Of the vet
Grams were smaller in number, whilst
they marched with a remnant Of the
old time fire under the bencdiction of
Of the May sun.
In the forenoon the members Of the
George II Legate Post convened at the
Post hall, and with delegations Of
ladies Of the Corps, proceeded to visit
the several cemeteries, (bcing conveyed
there in ten autos kindly furnished by
members Of our city auto clnb,) and
where the comrades covered with sweet
blossoms and decorated with IN Amer
lean flag the graves Of their former
companions in arms. Upon their re
tnrn TO the Post hall, by special ar
ranpementa. the bells Of the city were
tolled from II O'Clock to IL :O5 p. m, du
ring which time the Veterans stood with
uncovered heads Mt their headquarters,
Promptly at 30 p. m the procession
was formed in front Of the city hall,
consisting of several hundred school
children each one carrying II miniature
American flag, and followed by the
q. A. r. Post and the ladies of the
Woman's Relief Corps, city school of
fcials, the mayor, and speaker Of the

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1912-06-06

Blanchardvile was well received and
favorably commented upon. 1t was
plain, practical, and filled with in
spring thoughts
Mr.. Cleary said that these services
in memory Of the soldier dead are to
show our appreciation Of the benefits
and blessings which by their sacrifices
the veterans secured to us. The real
heroes were not the generals and others
of high rank but the thousands who
fought rs privates without any hope Of
honOrs or reward. In II few short
years all Of the veterans Of the civil
war will have passed away; but these
ceremonies must not pass away. The
memory of the valor and sacrifices Of
the soldier must be kept fresh and
No merCenary motives prompt the OBJ
servance Of Memorial day. Why is it,
the speaker asked that Office and mart
are closed, and churches and schools,
and people Of every rank and con lition,
join in these serviCeS2 1t is, he said, to
inculcate the great lesson Of patriotism,
and to show our gratitude to those who
aided in the preservation of the Union
both to the soldiers on the field of
battle and to the faithful women whose
sacrifices were often as great ~ those
who went to the war.
The cost was great in blood and
treasure. but the end justified the
means, and today we stand reunited,
II common and equal people. There
is no malice between the north and
the south. God only knowns what
might have been the result had not the
union been preserved. But today no
milton holds out opportunities equal to
ours. 70 be IN American citizen is
greater then the heritage of royal birth.
A multiplicity of problems. industrial
and otherwise confront us. The speaker
urged that in our efforts to solve these
problems we display the same honest,
patriotic, unselfsh devotion that was
displayed in solving the great problems
Of the civil war. The conservation OF
manhood and womanhood is that for
which all should strive. He said that
the soldiers answering devotion to
duty was an object lesson for all time
and in closing his address the speaker
turned to the veterans and said May
cod grant you your just reward,
