Bethlehem Steel Co. has the impu
dence to come into the Congress Of
the United States and ask the frank
ing privilege for its advertising mat
ter, and it gets it at the request of {
gentleman whom every insurgent il
this country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific denounced, and the other spon
sor is financially interested in the re-
suit.
Mr.. President, this document may
have been SO put before che Senate
that there is no way to prevent its
being printed, but shall try to find Q
means to limit the number that shall
be printed at the public expense.
presume that it will now be in order
for every munition factory whose cof-
fers are bullying with the profits Of
blood to come here and have its pro-
paganda published. If we grant the
privilege to the Bethlehem Steel Co.
why not to the Midvale Steel Co. ?
Why not to the parent of all of them
the Steel Trust? Whv not grant it
to all of these great concerns? If to
them, why not all corporations having
a sufficiently large capital so that they
are entitled to direct representation
in the United States Senate?
Let me say this word in conclusion:
1 would not have thus thrust myself
upon the time of the Senate while
this great bill is before it, but that
out Of the exposure of what is being
done for this armor plate company we
may gain this one lesson: The sooner
the United States Government takes
the last penny of profits out of war
the better it will be for our people and
for cur country; the sooner we make
it so that there will be no man in this
country financially interested in pro-
ducing a condition that will make a
market for powder, or shot, or shell,
or cannon, or saber, the better it will
be for our country.
Cupidity Back of Protested Patriotism
/ cannot forget that, running along
a parallel line with patriotism also
is to be found the hideous form and
figure and face of selfishness. | can
not forget that running upon the other
side of patriotism is the still more hid
eous and diabolic form of cupidity.
cannot forget my history, which tells
me that in the great war of the re-
bellion, when sons were leaving the
arms of their mothers to go forth up
on the stricken field, when husbands
were saying goodbye to wives and
children, when gallant men were
marching forth to bare their blossoms
to the storms of war, and when they
knew that in the providence of God
and the chance of battle, in all human
probability, their final bed would be
beneath the stars and their winding
sheet the SHOWS Of winter-that while
those men were doing that thing there
were plenty Of capitalists in this coun-
try OF the Bethlehem Steel Co. type

meat and maggoty bacon and vile

PROPOSED DEMO
CRATIC RALLIES

The State Committee is working
out plan to hold series of great
tent meetings in all parts of the
State. 1t is proposed to secure at least
tents each with seating capacity of
from three to four thousand. These
tents are to be set up at points Sc
lected for the rallies.
1t is expected that each rally will
occupy all of the afternoon and even
ing; that the candidate for Congress
Of the district; candidates for State
offices, and either Senator Stone or
myself will be present. 1t is also ex-
pected that at each meeting some dis
tinguished orator from outside the
State will be secured. Arrangements
are partially completed to secure the
services of such men as Vice Presi-
dent Marshall, Senators James, Lew
is and Robinson, and in some instanc-
es members of the Cobinet.
The local people in each instance
will be expected to do all of the work
necessary to secure very large turn
out, and to otherwise assist in organ
izing and carrying to success these
great gatherings.
Under the arrangement contemplate
ed, there can be two great meetings
held each day at widely different
points of the State. While two of the
tents are thus employed, the other
two tents will be moved and set up at
other places.
The campaign is going to be short
and sharp. The Democrats of the va
rious counties of the State ought to
begin Immediately taking the neces-
sary steps to secure one of these great
meetings because the State Committee
will be compelled to make general
plans and to do SO in the very near
future. If your people want to be
put on the Committees list they ought
to at once become active.
|, therefore, venture to suggest that
you call the attention of the working
Democrats to this communication and
that you at once get in touch with
State headquarters which are now
open at Planters Hotel, st. Louis, Mo
The Chairman of the State Commit
tee and his assistants can give you
detailed information.
Very sincerely.

ing did not do cleaning and pressing,
and did not permit drivers to solicit
such business. According to the
testimony, Miller was soliciting such
business for a pressing club.
Is When asked in the court whether
he received any commission or re-
ward for soliciting cleaning and pres
sing, Miller stated that he did not.
It was for this statement that he was
charged with perjury.
The above is published for the
benefit of certain individuals who
seem to think it is matter of no con-
sequence how they testify in Police
Courts. It is to be supposed that
such individuals can be found in all
cities. Those who attend the Police
Court of Alexandria regularly could
tel of many cases where witnesses
(often voluntary have appeared ready
to testify to anything in the interest
of the parties who had them summon
ed. One one occasion several years
ago little white girl had a ten
dollar bill snatched from her hand
by a colored boy. The negro who it
was believed committed the act was
arrested and the circumstantial evil
dence was against him. 1t was neces-
sary to continue the case until night,
when twenty-five or thirty negroes
(male and female) appeared as wit
nesses for the defense. They were
all ordered to retire to an adjourning
room and were brought in one at
time. Their object was to prove an
alibi for the prisoner. The evidence
parent that all committed perjury.
On future occasions more atten-
ton will be given the statements of
witnesses in certain cases, and when
it is apparent that perjury has been
deliberately committed the offenders
may meet a fate similar to that of
the man in Norfolk.

WAR SEEMS
INEVITABLE

While no one can tell what a day
may bring forth, at present there
seems to be no way to avoid CLASH
with Mexico, The United States has
nothing It'd mediate and all offers
in that direction are valucless, in
spite of the good feeling that may
inspire them. The mandatory note
sent to the de facto government yes
terday was in no friendly tone, and
insisted on an immediate answer.
Conditions in Mexico are in a chaotic
state. Carranza is without power
how. He has little or no control OF
the Mexican armies, each commander
being Independent, though making a
pretensc of loyalty. Orders issued
by Carranza would be obeyed or dis
regarded by Obregon and the other
commanders as they saw fit. 1t is
Carranza's misfortune that he has
been placed in this prcdicament, but
he must be held responsible for the
de facto government, of which he is
the weak and vacillating head.
A declaration of war would doubt
less bring the factions of Mexican
bandits and outlaws closer together
and perhaps unite them against Am
orleans, but there can be no doubt
that large majority of the sub
stantial, law abiding citizens of
Mexico would welcome American in
tervention as the only way to end
! the reign Of misrulc and terror that
has so long prevailed.
! AS most papers of this country
suggest, no nation was ever so pa
tient with another under prolonged
and extraordinary provocating as the
United States has been with the de
facto Government of Mexico. The
mere recital of the undisputed facts
creates case which would convince
any impartial jury in the world OF
! our rights of action. Few countries
would have held their hand after the
attack on Columbus last March; none
ether would have still parleyed after
/, The attack on our troops at Carrlzal
last week. Yet with unexampled self
control we have waited to learn al
the facts, and have given the often
ders final opportunity to escape
The penalty which they have invited

But even many of those who were
