cheers. He warmed up little and was
greeted with moderate cheers. He be-
gan searching his mind for an effective
way to launch his shafts at the Presi-
fdent's attitude on the submarine Ques-
ton. and in doing so his tongue hap
pened to lay upon the Presidents name.
The roof bulged out; the heavens
seemed to crack The auditorium au-
dience left it's semblance to humanity
and became a roaring, rocking. cheer
ing tumult. Never>1n all his life had
william Schley Howard heard so vo-
ciferous an reclamation. The name of
the President had set fire to the train
of enthusiasm and a mine had exploded.
1t was evident that audience was deep
Iy in favor of President Wilson!
And right there Howard changed his
mind. He never launched the shaft.
He began to support the Presidents in
ternational policies from the moment
of that first yelp; and has been just
that sort of man ever since.

In all the debates which centered
around the armed-ship controversy
there was none like that of Tom Helm,
the frock-coated orator from Ala
bama. In all the ringing appeals there
was none which rang so clear and loud
and long as that of Helm. In all the
roll calls of the day there was no
roll call like that of Heflin as he called
the roll of the southern states and held
up the image of their great statesmen
to show that from Mason and Dixon's
line to the gulf kissed shores of Ala
bana and Mississippi the south was
one grand song of praise for Wilson
(Which isn't true, according to captious
critics).
But think of Hefiin as he called the
roll of the states, the catalogue of
sovereignty. as it might be called:
Where does the south stand-God
bless her,
I'm this hour when a foreign propa-
ganda stalks through this Capitol
chosen head of our government. where
Jackson. who conquered the flower of
the British army at New Orleans?
What will be the answer of the Old
North state. with Kings mountain
standing there as an everlasting mon
ument to her patriotism and courage?
What says the Old Dominion. the state
of Washington, Jefferson and Madison,
who laid the foundations Of the re-
public? Where stands Kentucky. the
home of Beck and Clay, and the birth
place of Lincoln and Davis, the two
leaders of the conflict that resulted in
cementing the sections in the bonds of
an everlasting Union? Where in this
critical hour stands the splendid old
commonwealth of South Carolina. the
home of Calhoun and Hayne? Where
will Mississippi be found. the home Of
Prentiss. George Lamar and John Sharp
Williams?"
Now this roll call was being made
in tones that could have been heard all
the way to the broad reaches of the
