Moss the Waller

Proof that Congressman Hun
ter II. Moss. of the Fourth West
Virginia District, wasted the
time of the House of Representa-
tives last Wednesday in a calam-
ity wall intended solely for dis
tribution among his constituents,
is furnished in the report of his
remarks, as revised and edited
by Mr.. Moss, which appeared in
Saturdays issue of the Congress
sional Record. One might search
the pages IF that publication in
vain for a more demagogic
speech 1t appears under the
caption, Regulation of Railway
Stocks and Bonds" subject
which the House had under con-
sideration at the time, but it does
not contain a single line or SEN
tence on that subject, aside from
the speakers Introductory an
nouncement that he intended to
to support the pending bill.
The speech was an attack upon
every policy of the Democratic
administration. together with a
lot of verbal boquets which Mr..
Moss handed to himself, and a
criticism of John M. Hamilton,
whom it is evident Mr.. Moss
thinks he will have to beat if he
returns to Congress. 1t was, in
fact, Mr.. Moss stump speech,
delivered in advance for the pur-
pose of having it printed and
distributed throughout the fourth
district at government expense.
In going over it for the printer
he inserted captions which indi-
cate how far he strayed from the
subjectof Regulation of Rail
way Stocks and Bonds" Here
are some Of them, in the order in
which they are inserted: Dem
ocracy's Record" "The Tariff, 3"
THE Panama Canal" THE Col.
umbian Treaty." THE Mexican
Policy" THE Reserve Bank Cit
les" Good Roads," The True
Friend of the Old Soldier"
Mr.. Moss had not talked five
minutes until it became apparent
that he was delivering stump
speech, and Mr.. Barley, Of Ken
lucky called attention to the rule
that speakers must confine their
remarks to the bill under consid-
Grafton. THE gentleman is out
of order" said Mr.. Bark ley,
''and while l do not intend to
raise the point, l think it might
be well for the gentleman's con-
stituents, who will in due time
receive this speech, to know that
he is proceeding against the rule
we have adopted here"
No doubt Mr.. Moss would be
highly pleased if he could devise
some metF 4 of expunging from
the Record the remarks of Mr..
Barley, which will have a ten
dency to open the eyes of the
Fourth District voters who re-
ceive copies of his speech under
Mr.. Moss frank. Mr.. Moss did
succeed in side-stepping some
embarrassing questions by taking
advantage of his privilege of re-
fusing to yield for that purpose.
but when he had finished there
was an interesting colloquy be-
tween him and Mr.. Gordon, of
Ohio. to whom we may refer at
another time.
We can see no reason why any
Democrat should desire to inter-
pose the slightest obstacle to the
circulation Of Mr.. Moss calamity
wall among the thoughtful and
intelligent voters of the Fourth
District. Wheeling Register,

President Wins Another Victory

Washington, June IL. Repeal
of Panama canal tolls exemption
for American coast wise shipping
passed the Senate tonight by a
vote Of so to 80. The measure
now goes back to the House
which is expected to accept the
Simmon-Norris amendment spe-
officially reserving all rights the
United States may have under
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
The passage of the bill after a
bitter struggle that has lasted
for months was regarded tonight
as another victory for President
Wilson. Although 13 Republi-
cans came to the aid of the 81
Democrats who voted for the bill
on final passage the President in
itiated the movement in his own
party for repeal and it was be-
hind him that many of the Dem
ocrats who voted AYE" lined up
on the last test.
There has been no ce tain
promise from the White House
that the President would sign
the bill with its qualifying
amendment but there has been
no declaration that he would veto
it and party leaders in the Senate
say approval as amended by the
House will lead to the last favor
able action by the President.
Eleven Democrats led by SEN
ator O'Gorman, fought consis-
tently to the end and even an
hour before the last vote was
taken they did not abandon their
effort to amend the bill to meet
their view Of the manner in
which American rights in the
canal and American rights to ex-
empt coastwise shipping from
toll payment should be guarded.
Although vote after vote on all
sorts Of amendments passed over
by majorities that never fell be-
low II, and on one occasion as
high as SO, the minori y Demo
cra;s kept up the fight to the
end.
The S,nate was weary with its
long gtind of debate, its weary
watching for an attempt to gain
a parliamentary advantage, and
by the time Vice President Mar
shall put the question for the
passage of the bill the oratory
had died down; the chamber was
quiet and the vote was taken with
but little excitement.
Earlier in the evening there
was an outbreak among the Dem
ocrats which showed more plain
ly than anything that has gone
before the deep feelings aroused
by the bill. Senator'S Vardaman,
of Mississippi, and West, of
Georgia, came near to blows, Gre
ating a scene such as has not
been witnessed on the floor in
many years.
The bill probably will be sent
to the House tomorrow and can
be taken up at once if the House
leaders desire. With the Senate
amendment it is a subject for
conference if leaders on the
House side insist upon one, but
it can be finally disposed of i'm
mediately so far as Congress is
concerned, if the House accepts
the Senate amendment and
agrees to the bill sent them from
the Senate side.
Senator Chiffon, of West Vir-
ginia, voted for the bill. Sena-

The G ngressional Record of
Saturday, June 6, contains the
speech delivered by Hunter H..
Moss, Jr., in the House of Rep
resentatives on Thursday, June
4. This delay gave him time TO
revise it, and it will be noted
that that portion of his address
in which he tripped up on the
price of wool is omitted from the
revised version.
Ostensibly Judge Moss was
discussing the regulation of rail
way stocks and bonds, but he
used that only as a pretext to
work in a stand. pat political
speech for free distribution in
his district. 1t was the regu'a-
ton wall of calamity and fervid
worship of the protective tariff
system, but he made one inter
esting statement, and that was
when he said:
And so, today, amid the de-
pressing quiet of industrial &C.
preston, you can hear the ap-
preaching footsteps of the Re
publican hosts, which, on the
Bird of November, next, etc,
etc.
So we see our ngressnian
has lined himself up without re-
serve with the Republican party,
predicting its victory in the fall
and casting adrift the 1900
Progressives who voted for him
in 1912.
But while he stands firmly on
his standpat Republicanisnl,
Judge Moss lodges fearfully
from the facts. Read how he
squirmed when a Democratic
member tried to get the facts
out Of him:
Mr.. Gordon-Has the price Of
farm products dropped in West
Virginia?
Mr.. Moss They are beginning
to drop; yes, sir.
Mr.. Gordon-What is the price
of wool down there?
Mr.. Moss thought YOU
wished to ask me a pertinent
question.
Mr.. Gordon-I did.
Mr. Moss Then ask me a sens
ible question.
Mr.. Gordon-You are COM
planning, if | understanl your
remarks, that the farmers were
terribly injured by this tariff
bill.
Mr.. Moss am speaking of
statistics.
Mr.. Gordon-I am speaking Of
facts. | am not speaking of
statistiStics. | want to know
what the facts are. You live
there.
Mr.. Moss Yes; | certainly do.
And | can tell you that the
facts are that for the first time
since we had the last Democrat
ic administration we are feeling
a business depression in West
Virginia.
Mr.. Gordon Now, l want to
interrogate you about the depres-
sion. Is it among the farmers?
Mr.. Moss 1t is partly among
the farmers.
Mr.. Gordon What farm pro.
ducts have you in West Virginia?
MIR. Moss You can not injure
any set of people without iniur-
ing your neighbors
Mr.. Gordon What farm pro.

West Virginia?

you injure the farmer

AROUSES FEDERALS.
President of Outlaws Dan Murphy to
Enjoin Any Players.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-The long letter of
warning which Pres. Murphy has sent
his Cub team has aroused the Federal
Leaguers. Murphy told his players he
would enjoin any player on the reserve
list. even though not under contract.
eff Murphy wants to enjoin any
players who sign with us, let him go
ahead" said Pres. Gilmore of the Fed
eral League, Saturday morning. And
I'll add this continued Gilmore,
"in case Murphy does enjoin any play
ers we may have signed, he'll have to
pay their salaries while they are idle.
Well present a blu that will stagger
him for any monetary losses we may
incur by his threatened actions.
NO. we are not afraid of him or
Of Pres. Ebbets of Brooklyn and Pres.
Hermann of Cincinnati. The Federal
League will pay checks to all the
ball players we sign on the first and
18th of each month. But if they start
injunction proceedings, it's up to them
to pay.N

Hanks Bouts Tues
daylight, City Hall.

The approaching bouts at City hall
on Thursday evening Of this week ap-
pear to be the principal subjects for
discussion on the street. Both boys
are we'll known here and both have al
ways made good
Boxing fans have long been anxious
to see Wood and Alger meet and 1t
has been a pretty hard job for Man
ager E. w. Hanks to bring the meet
ing about as several clubs also had
them in view and bid pretty strong
for these two great lightweight scrap
pers. AS usual Hanks got ahead OF
the other clubs and Maine fans will
have a rare treat served up to them
when the gong sounds for action. Both
boys are going faster than ever as is
demonstrated by their most recent
bouts. Alger stopped the much boast
ed Pacific Slope boy. Frank Neary, in
four rounds, and Wood beat Gilbert
Gallant one of the best thought of
boys in the lightweight division.
The bouts between Pat Casey of
Fort Mckinley and Young Budreau of
Boston should prove a hummer too,
as will that between Soldier Adams
and McCloskey. The show as a whole
looks good.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Bill Louden, the Detroit pitcher. has
been released to the Providence, r. l.,
club.
Ty Cobb has been playing golf all
winter, and they now say he's the best
golfer that ever left Rowston, Ga, and
battcd over 400 in the big show.
Jack Coombs says that instead of los
ing a 18th of an inch in height during
his recent illness. as was reported, he
gained full inch. The star twirler of
the Athletics is spending the holidays
on his farm in Kennebunk, Me.
George ("Dufy") Lewis of the Boston
American League team, who has pass
ed the winter thus far in Boston, has
become tired of waiting for a snow
storm-something he has never seen
and will leave for Alameda, Cal, to
visit his people.
1t begins to look as IL Frank Chance
will have pretty nifty squad of garden
ers next season. With the addition OF
Lester Channell, the Denver phenom, the
peerless leader will put on parade Jimmy
Walsh, recently purchased from Connie
Mack; Frank Gilhooley, the former Mon
treal Royal, and others of lesser light
Pres August Hermann of Cincinnati
received a telegram from Manager
Charles Herzog Saturday which stated
that the latter had signed Pitcher
"Rube'' Benton and Catcher Vonkoi-
nitz to play with the Cincinnati Ma
tional League club next season. Ben
ton was with the Cincinnati team last
season, while VonKolnitz was drafted
from the Appalachian League.
A Portland paper quotes Outfielder
Buddy Ryan of the Maps as saying
that the Athletics will win the pennant
again next season. He points out that
Mack has a wonderful batch of young
twirlers coming in next year to assist
Bender and Plank. Buddy picks Wash
ington to finish second, Cleveland
third and either Chicago or New York
| fourth.
"It stands to reason said Tom
Hughes, the veteran twirler OF the
| Washington Senator'S, the other day,
that a ball player is bound to go stale
| if he keeps at the game throughout the
! entire year without a good rest. Mark
my words, the Giants and White Sox,
who are making the trip around the
world. will suffer from its effects be-
fore the close of the championship race
of 1914 is over"
Charley Hemphill is going to make
another attempt to get back in the big
show. The Cleveland boy who is spend
ing the winter In the Forest City, has an
nounced his intention of seeking a berth
in the outfield of the Chicago White Sox
for next season. Charley believes he has
an excellent chance of landing one Of
the positions and he will take the matter
up with Owner Comskey and Manager
Callahan upon their arrival home from
their d-the-world trip in March.
Frank Chance and his New Yorks are
going to be considerably astonished ~
the big reception in Texas next spring.
They promise to be the best drawing
card that has struck the Lone Star state
in years, and many a big league club
has been going down there to train dur
ing the past decade. The New Yorks
have the advantage of being brand new
as club-to Texas.

GET N. E. BASEBALL.

Brockton, Jan. 4.-The Rrockton
franchise in the New England League
may be transferred to Lewiston, Me,
if the Lewiston business men accept
a proposition from the owners of the
franchise.
John w. MeCue and Joseph w.
Burns. owners of the franchise, are
anxious to sell. but if the financial
part of the program cannot be ar
ranged, they say they will transfer
the franchise to the Maine city and
operate the team from there.
Every effort has been made to in
duce Brockton men to buy the fran
chise, but no one would make a start,
claiming the owners valued their hold
ings too highly.
