GERMANY DOES NOT PROTEST
Arms Trade is Recognized as Fair,
Congress Hears - Dum-Dum
Charge Unfounded.

Washington, Jan. 6-Chairman
Flood OF the House foreign affairs
committee today told proponents Of
legislation to prohibit exports of war
materials that the German govern
ment, through the Berlin foreign Of
fee, had made it plain that it did not
expect the United States to stop such
exports.
Chairman Flood made his statement
to Representative Bartholdt, who was
making a general argument at a pub
lie hearing today for his resolution
to stop exports.
Representative Bartholdt asserted
that he knew nothing of the attitude
Of the German government and that
he and his associates opposed the ex-

international immortality"
Tire State Department said Chair
man Flood TO Representative Bar

than seven hundred of these bullets
have left the country and that none of
them would ut modern military serv-

the future, while the world is going
through one the greatest crises in
its history. Business has been demon
allied to an extent that we in pros
porous, sun-warmed, God-favored Kan
sas do not realize.
am not pessimistic; I do not think
America is to have protracted period
of business depression, but l believe
this is the year of all years to use the
pruning knife on appropriations; to
eliminate every useless public posi-
ton; to see to it that men who are
elected or appointed to perform GER
tain duties, perform them themselves
instead of delegating them to assis-
tants; to adopt policy OF rigid econ
omy in public affairs
Make Simple and Just Laws.
In this necessary policy of economy,
hope we may see the desirabality Of
restraint in creating needless legis-
lation. We make too many laws. Our
need is not more laws, but laws made
SO plain, so simple, so direct and SO
just that the humblest citizen can
know them and understand them and
respect them and obey them.
A certain amount of legislation is
necessary, but in practice how often
do we find a personal motive or a pri-
vate interest prompting the introduc-
ing of a bill; how often do we find
members voting with small regard to
the intent or effect of a measure; with
the result that hastily-drawn, iH-con-
sidered, illadvised measures are en-
acted into laws, cumber our statute
books, breed litigation, and work hard
ships to a patient and long-suffering
people. I hope the Kansas legislature
Of 1915 will give most careful consid-
Grafton to the need, the intent and the
form of every measure which comes
before it, that our people may have
constructive Legislation and be spared
a flood Of unnecessary and confusing
laws.
Kansas Has Constructive Laws.
Kansas has a shining record OF &C.
complishment in the field of success
full, constructive legislation. Its pro-
hibitory law, equal suffrage law, its
blue sky law, it's bank guaranty law,
its primary election law, its anti-pass
law, it's pure food law and it's state
textbook law, show the progressive,
forward-l0oking spirit of the Kansas
people.
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1915-01-16

There has been genuine effort in
Kansas to incorporate into our body
polite, fundamental, moral ideas. We
have tried to base our laws upon eter-
nal truths which tend to righteous
ness. Kansas comes nearer giving
every man, woman and child within
it's borders an absolutely square deal
and equal chance in every department
of life than any other commonwealth
in this union. Our material pros
perity, our high standards of public
morals, our personal Well-being are
largely due to the fact that for more
than thirty years the open saloon has
been an outlaw in this state. Our ply
steal development has not been stunt
ed, and our moral sense has not been
blunted by the degenerating influ-
ences of drink There cannot be any
temporizing with the liquor curse, nor
should there be any compromise with
its partner in crime, the red light dis
trict.
To Lead in National Prohibition.
The record Kansas has made in
proving that prohibition does prohibit;
the blessings which have followed its
enactment as a part of our funda-
mental law, makes it incumbent upon
us as a duty to the nation as well as
a policy of self-protection to take the
lead in an active propaganda for Ma
tional Prohibition.
Pledges Vigorous Championship.
We have had nationwide prohibit
ton in all great American industries
for nearly ten years. National Prohi-
bition itself should no longer be de-
layed 1t will not be long in coming
if Kansas people give the movement
their active leadership and their Wig
orous championship. I here pledge
you that my utmost endeavor shall be
to aid this movement, to use all the in
fluence I possess, as a citizen, as a
newspaper man, and as a public Off
cial, to advance this great cause
l rejoice with the people of Kansas
that the women of our State have been
admitted to their full rights of citizen
ship. The influence of Kansas should
be exerted in every possible way to
bring about equal suffrage in the ma
ton.
Try as we may, we move slowly
toward the ultimate goal of mankind
the brotherhood of man. In the two
years we are now entering upon, may
we people of Kansas do our part in
that slow but sure advance in human
progress; for loftier ideals; for a
wider and deeper Justice; for quick
ened sense of public honor and public
duty; toward making our beloved
state a little cleaner, a little more de-
cent, happier, and more God-like.
