The peanuts are ready for the roasting!
We refer to the peanuts in congress-the little
men who are plotting against the president and
Americas sea policy in the hour Of national
danger and suspense-the exceedingly cheap
little peanut men who make up the bulk of our
national legislature.
Peanut men for example like our own Wesley
Lorimer Jones. A special dispatch from Wash
ington to The Times today quotes him as saying
that he will prevent the immediate consideration
by the senate of resolution supporting the
president by invoking the ancient Unanimous
consent technicaity.
BY so doing Jones hopes to embarrass Wilson,
much, of course, to the glory of the G. o. p.
The times are too dangerous for the people of
this country to put any further confidence, any
trust whatsoever in the laundering politicking,
plotting statesmen" such as he who have en-
tered into gigantic conspiracy in Washington
to sell their country's honor for the mean adj
vantage of ward politics.
Head and front of this conspiracy are many
democratic members from the south, best known
as cotton statesmen.
money sharks who have bought up large quaint
ties of the last cotton crop at low price and hope
to sell their holdings to Germany at 800 to 400
per cent profit.
They want Wilson to end the quarrel with
Germany and begin quarrel with the allies,
which shall be serious enough to compel the lift
ing of-the blockade just little-just enough to
let in cotton at triple the price they paid for it.
For the sake of the fortunes of such as thes
congressman have dragged the democratic part

country into the garbage can.
THERE'S MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN 7
Into this conspiracy have been joined the pif

who have political and personal grudges against
all the base elements which always work for
