Columbia.


Special from Washington Senator
I1llman, OF South Carolina, chairman
Of the senate committee on naval af
fairs, held a brief conference with
President Wilson a FEW days ago on
proposed legislation for national de-
Tense. He said, after leaving the
White House, that the chairmen OF
the senate and house military and ma
val affairs committees will meet in a
formal conference at the White House
after the president has received re.
ports and recommendations from Sec
retaries Garrison and Daniels.
Il am for safe and sane policy of
naval and military expansion" said
Senator Tillman, "and believe that
the people will indorse whatever pro-
gramme the president proposes to
congress. 1 think it Is safe to say
that President Wilson, in his recon-
mendations to congress, will strike a
happy middle ground between the
damned jingo who would involve this
country In war and the advocate of
peace at any price.
Il take no stock in this talk about
an appropriation of $50O,O0O,0OO for
the army and navy and l do not be-
l1eve that any other. sane member of
congress does. believe that there
will be increases in the naval appro.
priation for defensive weapons of
warfare
In making up our programme we
VIII not pay any attention to the in.
feonal fool jingo who would lead the
Democratic party into something from
which 1T would never escape, but we
will prepare to defend ourselves and
not let the other fellow catch us with
our breeches down
There is no real demand where I
nave been for an extravagant expendi.
ture OF money on navy and an army
Just because a lot Of foreign nations
are In bloody war. We are going
to carry out the Democratic platform
and provide an adequate navy. There
will be number of Increases in an
preparations for submarines and other
defensive sea craft BY the time con
gress meets we will be able to come
to some reasonable conclusion as To
what we should play down"
Senator Tillman was at the White
House about the time the news of the
German concessions was carried to
the president.

The New Fable Of Everybody's Friend
and the e-Bucker.

In a sequestered Dump lived two
Urchins, Edgar and Rufus, who went
to the Post with about an equal Handi-
cap.
They got away together down the
broad Avenue Of Hope which leads one
Lad over the hills and far away to the
United States Senate Chamber and
guides another unerringly to the Fed
eral Pom near Lcavenworth, Kansas.
When Edgar was Tootsey he re-
Ceived a frequent busting with EX-
tremo Violet Talcum Powder and was
allowed to play with a flaxen.haired
Doll named Celeste.
About the same time, Rufus began
to take Cold Baths and was propped
up to look at Pictures Of Napoleon and
John l.. Sullivan and Sitting Bull.
At School each was a trifle Dumb.
If Edgar fell down on an Exam, his
Relatives would call Mass Meeting
to express Regrets and hang Grape all
over the Place.
If Rufus got balled up in his An
swers, his immediate Kin would pat
him on the Back and tell him he was
right and the Textbook was wrong.
Edgar would emerge from the
Feathers every morning to find his
Parents all lined up to wish him new
set of Police Regulations.
They held up the Rigid Forefinger
and warned him that he was merely q
Grain Of Dust and a Weakling and O.
poor juvenile Mutt whose Mission In
Life was to Lie Down and Behave.
Rufus would be aroused each Sun
rise by full Military Band Of 60
Pieces playing Hail to the Chief who
in Triumph Advances"
Between the Buckwheats nnd tho
Sorghum, the two Family Boosters
would slip him the pleasing Informa-
ton that never since the Morning Stars
pulled their first Harmonies had there
bounded into the Arena another such
Prodigy Of Intellectual Brilliancy and
Physical Valor.
Consequently when Rufus hit the
Fresh Air, with the McGumey under
the Arm, he wore his Chest about 6
foot In front Of him.
He acknowledged with q Slight Not
the Salutation from some Member o
the Town Board.
Edgar, staggering under a Ton o
Restrictive Advice, would spot Ruff

OUR RIGHT TO THE SEA

In plain words, the British memorandum in relation Ito thu lawless
interference with Ii ships and cargoes is an impudent persistence III
wrongdoing. Nobody is more conscious OF this oHense mar the nerl-
bes of the British ministry, for in answering us with sophlstry
and falsehood they reverse the record of their w government in Ink
cases for many years.
When the United States under international law has rights clearly
established, what can be more intolerabe than to have a professed
friend say that those rights will be invaded only with a minimum of
inconvenience? What ca be more insolent than to be assured by
such a friend that o interruptng III lawful trade with neutrals it will
graciously refrain from violence Or confscation? Is there any outrage
that one nation AN inhGt upon another at peace more Illuminating
than ito subject its legitimate commerce to a pirahcal censorship?
cleverly or falsely they may evade the real issue, the British govern
ment cannot justify the seizure of neutral ships laden with noncontra-
pand goods bound from n neutral port to another. international
law recognizes and defines blockades, but it specifically declares that
nc blockade shall be operative against nations at peace.
The British blockade OF Germany is in act a blockade OF Holland, ot
Denmark, of Sweden and of Norway. We have made n complaint as
yet against the legality of the socaled British blockade of Germany,
although it is known that it is maintained at long range, and there is
not even a pretense that it is effective in the Baltic.
1t is because the British blockade of Germany is spurious that these
troubles have arisen. 1t is not a true blockade of Germany. t il more
particularly n embargo upon the United States. The much-vaunted
British sea-power does not close the ports of Germany. 1t is attempting
to accomplish that purpose in IN easier way by denying to the Ameri-
can people the freedom OF the seas. 1t undertakes to deal with the COM
merce of the great republic precisely as it does with that of the four
small and inimdated states of Europe. 1t offers to pay, but it never
otherwise acknowledges a wrong.
We have other injuries in the Old World that must be redressed,
but to most Americans this one,b being in the family, 50 to speak, and
reviving a quarrel nee settled, as we thought, for all time, nay as well
be attended to first. We wen to war with Great Britain a century ago
for a cause n o more grevious.
If the United States cannot command respect in Great Britain, what
reason have W e to hope for consideration in Germany?-New York

ELIHU ROOT NO PARTIsAN3 SINCE WHEN?

"Eihu Root, whose address on the causes of business stagnaton,
timidiy and unwilingness, "a published in the Journal last Sunday
morning, is another example of growing independence of thought. Party
man IS he is, high in the counsels of the Republican party as he has
been and is, Root did not hesitate to crhicise two Republican admins
trations those Of Roo~evelt and Taft. He took his stand O principles,
not bounded by party lines. That Philadelphia address was OF the
uuerance of a parisan."-Reno Journal.
Elihu Root 10 a partisan? Wow! But in direct contavention to
the Journals statement, which, as it has said, finds its base in a speech
delivered by Elihu Root a the Union League banquet held in Phiadel-
pia N March %, 1915, the annexed excerpts are taken from the self
same speech, the pamphlet containing which was received at this office
a number Of days ago, and indicate clearly where Mr.. Root stands

What has your name meant? Be
cause one of our forefathers cheated
the world into giving him fortune
by buying his goods for more than
they were worth We have tried to
canonize him and put halo around
the name of Kingsnorth. To me ii

and vain and ignorant-the power OF
money over intellect How did We be-
come owners of this miserable piece
Of land? A Kingsnorth swindled its
rightful owner-lent him money on
usury. bought up his bills and his
mortgages and when he couldn't pay

q curse on the village and on us!'
Kingsnorth tried to speak. but she
stopped him:
"Wait a moment 1t was a good
