SPEECHAT YACHT REGATTA

BERLIN. july B-Emperor William
has just made q speech designed to
curb the too aggressive spirit Of
those Germans who wanted to sec the
German nag raised over q part OF Mnroo-
CO last year. This speech. which was
made at q yacht regatta banquet at
Hamburg. and was largely addressed to
Hamburg merchants, contained a pointed
reference to the Agadir incident. Tho
passage in question was as follows:
"As you all know, gentlemen, the nag
must wave in honor. and 1t must not be
reck1essfy spread to the breezes or hoist
ed where we are not sure that we can
defend it. You will understand why
have practiced self-restraint In spreading
the German flag at places where many
persons perhaps long to see it floating.
was governed by an old Hanseatic
principle craven on the town hall at
Lubbock: The little flag is easily bound to
the staff. but it costs much to haul 1t
down again with honor"
The emperor went on to say that he
could claim that. during his reign, the
honor of the German flag had never been
insulted from any quarter; then, address,
ing himself to the Hamburg merchants
present, he added: II pledge you, and
stand for 1t, that my flag will follow you
wherever you lead the way This latter
believe in the old political maxim that
trade follows the flag. He Is less aggres-
sive, and is content to have the German
flag follow trade

Other Evidence of Decay.

Another indication of decay is the al
legged fact that the American intolerance
Of the drone. of the gentleman of leis-
ure, is beginning to disappear. Sug-
gested as possible contributing cause
of the decline Is the fact that the birth
rate among the old American families is
falling off, while it remains high among
the south European immigrants. The
old families of the New England states
and of the south have as yet been less
affected by the demoralizing tendency
Of present American affairs than the
people of any other section.
1t is, however, in the farmers Of the
United States that Baron Won Barne-
kow sees a possibility of arresting the
downward movement AS yet. he says,
they have not been touched by the moral
decline. The dwellers in the country,
he declares. represent today through
out the republic the dependable. con-
servative element. in which an upright
Christianity and high standard Of
family life have been preserved. They
represent the most industrious and de-
serving portion of the whole population
Of the country" An especial word OF
praise Is spoken for the German Ameri-
can farmers
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-05-09

Just after the elections Of 1910, he went to
Baltimore and made that unfortunate speech
about going slow on Tariff reform.
Neither did we like it when he pranced
of to Baltimore along with TAFT and Roose-
yelt, to honor that Ronlanist fox, Cardinal
Gibbons.
Bnt, dear me- We all have our faults, and
we all make mistakes.
Who makes more Of them than I do?
The World says shat Champ Clark is not
OF Presidential "size." Because he IS a South
ern man, presumably Because he was a brave
Confederate soldier, evidently
Champ Clark has more native ability than
TAFT and Roosevelt put together
Champ Clark7s record is far and away bet
ter than that Of Wilson, Harmon, OF Bryan
Champ Clark had the courage to risk losing
the South, by voting for the Sherwood pen
sion bill-and | damned him vociferously for
voting that way
But to say that Clark cannot be elected if
nomlnated is sheer nonsense.
The South would support him, because he
IS enc Of US, and because he followed the Stars
and Bars.
The West would support him, because of
his consistent and splendid service in favor
Of lower tariff taxation; and because he had
the pluck to leave the Speakers Chair and
vote for the Sherwood bill.

and personally, feel drawn to him for
another reason:
He elevated beyond his merits. that desDica-
bile little wretch, Hardwclz. and he has been
stunG by Hardwick'8 base and cowardIv
1ngratltude just as | was stm@ by IT,
Champ Clark made H0rdwicIz q member Of
the Rules Committee, and Chairman Of the
Special Committee to investigate the Sugar
Trust
Congress, the press, and the country at
large were amazed to see Champ Clark give
the little bloat, Hardwicz. such precedence
over older and abler members.
How did the little bloat show his graft
tude?
BY DESERVING his post Of duty and rushing
to Georgia, to make futile speeches for the
Governor of New Jersey.
And what was the result?
We beat the little wretch in every county
Of has District-including his own
One county excepted: Richmond. arheyo the
Ro420D Cathozjc'8 are 50 strong.
No sir; if Champ Clark wins the nomiDa-
ton, he can be elected; and lie would make
us magnificent President
true, | jump on him, occasionally. but. at
heart | love and admire him.
Such stalwart manliness, such ruoood
honesty, such robust horse-sense as Champ
Clark possesses, cover multitude of isolated
and infrequent errors.

The New York World Wrong About ChamD Clark

>HE great newspaper that Joseph Pulitzer
built up, is not what it was
1y The way, one Of the last letters that the
great Edltor ever dictated was to me. He
was on his yacht, off Naples Bryan had bit
terry and mendaciously assa3led him, and L
who had been reader Of 7ho World for a
Ge2eration-sent in a telegram Of indignant
re3utati0n.
The I7orzd published it, prominently, and
The greatest Editor that the world ever saw
was profoundly pleased.
And he wrote to me in cffoct-aftor
expressing his thanks-3Tr Watson / do not
know why you did this, for have published
many harsh things about you"
So he had-but what difference did that
make? Truth is truth, with me, and believe
in fair play.
That's one reason why I challenge The
IVorJd's estimate Of Champ Clark.
Hoots! Toots! | myself lambaste Champie
when he does wrong
Does the parent hate the child that it
spanl1s? The child deserved the spanking
and the parent says, as Of time immemorial-

would be the height of folly to offer personal

The Danger q Sending WATSON 10 Baltimore

TOM WATSON outdoes himself in the cur
rent number Of his magazine in villifca-
ton Of the Roman Catholic church, and vet
it is coolly proposed by the conservatives" Of
Georgia to give the vote Of the people of this
State to candidate first nominated and adj
vocated by him and as logical consequence,
to send this frcbrand to the Baltimore con-
vention.
We merely wish to point out to our mis-
guided fellow Democrats of the Underwood
persuasion in Georgia the possible-eycn
probable-consequenc Of Watson's presence
as a delegate or influential leader in that con
vention. We. do not believe in mixing up
politics with religion. AS humble and I'M
worthy sinners we lift our hat to every mans
religion. It is all right to study and criticise
any church or sect within bounds, we have
no doubt. But Mr. Watson has oyerstepped
the bounds OF common decency in assailing
the private character, collectively and in
dividually, of whole people. He has not
stopped with indictiag limited community,
which Edmund Burke said could not be done,
but he has villifed personally and by name,
in conspicuous instances, a whole people in
his well-knoWn Characteristic manner

particularly. First. the wind
was whirling the snow in great
clouds past the house, and the
buildings across the street were
invisible. The next thing to at
tract my attention was the chin
ney off the hotel coming down
past my window. In the Office
there was no one and an explor-
ing expedition to the. kitchen
found onlya cold stove. The wind
having dismantled our hostlrie,
we set out to find breakfast. A
visit to the other hotel revealed
the Office with the stove redhot
and the room crowded with men,
all that could find standing room.
We took the outside, and start
ed west along Carthage avenue.
The drifts were as high as the
buildings, and close to the fronts
for there were no sidewalks, and
only three awnings along the
street; one at Osgood's hotel,
one at Gum & Saltz's drug store
(where Willard Martin now has
his meat market) and one where
the main entrance to the Nation
al hotel now is, and which was
then Heber & Seberger's land
Office with their coat of arms and
an anchor painted on the glass of
the door. Finding no restaurant
or other eating house, we turned
back to where the sign had at
tracted our attention the night
before, at the east end of the
opposite Dick Buis' barn.
Here we found the proprietor, a
german, sweeping snow out of
the front room. He said that he
would soon have breakfast ready,
In the middle room where the
tables were the snow had been
swept into one corner, away
from the stove and tables.
Soon the victuals were placed
on the table and we sat down to
eat with overcoats, caps, and
scarfs on. Here we got our
meals until the Osgood was re-
paired.
Everyone was kind and soci-
able, and took the storm patient
ly, All goods were hauled on
wagons from Dodge City, and
the grocers kept wagons on the
road forprovisions. The freight
ers with provisions, and coal
were showed in all along the
route. Soon a coal famine threat
ened and borrowing a scuttle of
coal was regelar thing, and
everyone was ready to divide.
The hotels were not asked to
loan coal for it was there that all
but a few persons got their meals
and it was imperative that they
have coal for the kitchen ranges.
When the isible supply of
provisions on sale had run down
to one sack of flour and one ham
of meat, Ash McDaniels' son
Willie, with his teams came in
with trail wagon loaded with
groceries. This boy was not
more than sixteen years old, but
he made the first arrival with
freight after the blizzard.
The actual cold was not so low
as it has been since. but there
was quality of penetration both
of snow and cold which would
kill quicker than any storm that
| have ever experienced. The
storm this winter was colder and
fully as bad for snow, but l
doubt if it would kill as quickly
as that one.
Sam Givler rode ahead of a
bunch of cattle and cut wire
fences all day and all night bring
ing up in the tim Der of a stream
far to the south.
A boy driving down the wire
trail with load of freight and a
yoke of oxen, kept moving till
his wagon and team stuck past
moving. He reasoned that the
oxen, if loose from the wagon,

ing Kansas City early in the
morning of January 1st, of 1886.
When we boarded the train in
Iowa there was foot of snow on
the ground and the murcury
marked 20 belowzero. On arriving
at Kansas City we were surpris'
ed to find the weather compar-
atively warm, DO snow on the
ground and no ice on the river,
and men fishing for the market,
hauling fish out of the muddy
stream. That afternoon it began
to drizzle fine rain and was rain
ing hard when at about 10 P. M.
we went to our sleeper and order
ed the bed made. Sleep soon
caught us and we knew nothing
of leaving Kansas City.
Some time after daylight we
awoke not far from Newton Kan
sas, to find snow coming down
in great flakes. The storm in
creased as we travelled west, and
before noon a breakman told me
that there was severe blizzard
coming east out of the mountains
and that we would meet it in
about thirty minutes. 1t proved
later that he had the storm, its
speed, and the speed of the train
properly located and gagged.
The wind was very strong and
the snow very fine. A second
engine with a mould board on the
pilot was put in front of the To-
connective dra wing the train and
we plowed on west, reaching
Dodge City about dark. There
we stuck about one hundred
yards from the platform. Buff
falo Jones was on the train and
protected that we would not pass

At the Dodge City house
where we stopped, a great many
ranchmen were stopping They
talked of losses and Of past
storms.
On the fifth of January Dick
Silvers. the manager of the stage
line from Dodge south through
Meade, came to the hotel and
said that he would try TO get
through to Meade the next day,
and asked if there were any pas
sengers who would risk it. E.,
F. Seberger, c. II. Cummins,
myself, drummer for a tobacco
house, and the representative of
The Wichita Eagle, spoke for a
passage.
Silvers was on hand early in
the morning, whip in hand, say
ing that he would trust no other
person to make the trip. We
came over the old Jones & Plum
mer trail, reaching Fowler about
/ 80 pm, where we stopped for
dinner. We reached Meade
about $50 p. m.
There were two hotels in
town, one on the east side OF the
square, owned by Hoodo Brown
and Chas. Edwards. The stage
pulled up at what is now called
"the old State Bank building
where Captain Osgood with a
hearty hand shake and genial
smile, welcomed us to his house.
