WASHINGTON, April 1O.-With
scorn and stinging criticism, Senator
Jones, Of Washington, flayed Colonel
Roosevelt in bitter speech today to
the senate.
I'VE are in saturnia of political
vituperation,'' he said. Under the
banner Of progression. an anarchy is
preached in honeyed phrase and full
some fattery.
"The real, consistent. faithful lead
er of the radical thought, whose cour-
age, consistency and faithfulness we
all admired. even If We did not ac-
cept the doctrines advocated, became
i'll and exhausted. The banner he was
bravely and faithfully carrying was
dropping. A new Richmond rushed
upon the scene, threw his hat into the
ring and shouted to the wavering
hosts to follow him, hoping to reap
where others had sown. Having work
ed and won with the despised stand
principles OF modern political progress,
he, with the recklessness of ignorance.
Is appealing to all that Is base, selfish
and unjust in the apparent hope OF
gratifying an insatiable ambition. He
would substitute the biased, warped
and inflamed opinions of the multitude
/ for the Judgment of those acting in a
judicial capacity, based on sworn evi-
I dence.'
4 The senator quoted Reosevelt's crit
licism Of Jones that he supported Lori
mer in committee when his consti-
trents would have voted against the
4 Illinois senator.

\ archist more subversive of the prin-
ciple of human justice or rights thar
the suggestion contained in that state
nlent.''

said Roosevelt would have the COM
/ mittee act on unbiased newspaper re-
ports.
\ This was the rule followed by PHI
ate.' he added This is the first
time in the history of any civilized
people that Pilates rule of judicial
action has the approval of any man,
save those who would cruelty Jesus,

.If Colonel Roosevelt had been
standing on one side when plate de
livered Jesus to the Jews after having
examined Him into the charges and

mand of the people, turned Him over
to the Jews for crucifixion, he would
have clapped his hands and exclaim
! ed. most righteous, most honorable
most just judge,'-at least he would
have, if he had been as progressive
as he is now. am charitable enough
to believe, however, that he woult
have been reactionary."
Jones said the people of Washington
would despise him if they thought he
would vote for Lorimer in the com
mittee because he thought such ;
course would please them.
"If Mr.. Roosevelt made this sugges
tion seriously, it is shocking tht

secure votes, it is despicable.'
