Sen. Smith on Cotton

Senator Hoke Smiths denunciation
Of Britain's interference with ship
ments of cotton to Germany drew the
appreciation of Senator Borah, Repub-
lican, who declared he was willing to
take the responsibility of ''acts not
words" and the disapproval of Sen
ator Williams, Democrat, who declar-
ed he was not willing to see the South
contend for commerce ahead of human
lives.
AssaiIs Naval Policy
Senator Knute Nelson, Republican,
assailed the German naval policy, de-
claring that 1874 Scandinavian vessels
had been sunk by Germany since the
war began. Senator Williams, Demo-
crat, declared that the North starved
the South with it's navy and said the
United States was now having dem
onstration of what such tactics could
accomplish. The Mississippi senator
emphasized the difference, however,
in responsibility for loss Of life and for
loss Of property.
Il never was great admirer Of for
mer President Roosevelt's political
sense" said he, but he said one thing
that I believe is true and that was that
any comparison between what the
United States owes to its citizenry in
connection .vith sacrifice Of life and

what she owes in connection with the
loss of property is a comparison be-
tween murder and petty larceny
Il want ITO say" Senator Williams
continued. that if the senator from
Georgia could have his way and Con-
gress were to pass and the President
sign the measures he advocates, it
necessarily would result in non-inter-
course with the allies, unless the allies
were lost and still like lot of whipped

independence and at the will Of the

diers and the fourth navy in the world
behind it. l fear England would not
stand for bullying from a people who
can't bully"
Senator Williams took issue with
the designation Of Englands blockade
as paper one
Question Of Lives
Il don't want to see Dixie put into
the attitude Of caring just as much
about property as the life of the
women and children sent to their
graves in the ocean," he continued.
until the question as to the loss of
women and children is settled | do
not intend to nag the President or his
administration and 1 thing l would
not nag Republican administration
about the loss of property. My people
are not ready to put cotton and human
life on the same basis, especially when
they have sense enough to know that
if the shipment Of cotton to England
and her Allies was cut of cotton
would be worth about four cents now"
Senator Williams said he would
lodge protest against the violation
Of commercial rights and later COL
lect damages in much the same way
as Lincoln did in the Geneva awards

Washington. Jan. 2O.--Theodore
Roosevelt's name was loudly cheered
here today in the first congress Of
the National Security League when
his sister, Mrs. Theodore Douglas
Robinson, read letter from him to
the congress. The colonel declared the
proposed continental army a sham
which would be merely an inefficient
rival to the National Guard that the
navy program was "a paper program
entirely Inadequate to our needs"
and that military preparedness should
be required as matter of right, not
as matter Of favor" of all Ameri-
can citizens.
Col. Roosevelt likened the United
States failure to take other action
than diplomatic negotiations over the
loss Of American lives by submarine
warfare to a man whose wife's face
was slapped on the street and who
took no other action than to tell her
to stay home.
Col. Roosevelt's Letter
The letter follows:
Gentlemen:
l wish it were possible for me to be
present to speak at your meeting. AS
that is not possible, l send you this
line of hearty greeting and good will.
1t seems to me there are two mat
tiers which every good American citi-
zen should now get clearly before his
mind as regards national defense.
Peace Question Of Facts
The first of these matters is not to
mistake names for facts. Peace is not
question of names. 1t is a question
of facts. If murders occur in a city,
and if the police force is so incompe-
tent that no record is made of them
officially, that does not interfere with
the fact that murders have been COM
mitted and that life is unsafe. In just
the same way, if lives are taken by
violence between nations. it is not of
the slightest consequence whether
those responsible for the government of
the nation whose citizens have lost
their lives do or do not assert that the
nation is at peace. During the last
three years we have been technically
at peace. But during those three
years more of our citizens have been
killed by Mexicans, Germans, Austrians
and Haitians than were killed during
the entire Spanish War. 1t is true
that the American citizens killed dur
ing the past three years have been
mostly non combatants, including wo-
men and children. although many men
wearing the national uniform have al
so been killed, some of them on Amerd-
can. soil. But the fact TN women and
children are killed instead Of full
grown men in uniform surely increases
instead Of diminishes the horror. We
have had a great many more citizens

To Lie or Not to Lie


Heals was still undergoing cross-exam-
ination by John j. Fitzgerald of counsel
for Mrs. Mohr when. court adjourned for
the day. All the afternoon Mr. Fitzger-
aid fired questions rapidly at the wit
ness, but Heals remained apparently
cool and selfpossessed. To many CUES
lions the witness replied II don't remem-
ber" and once, after saying that he
would not tell lie to get out of muir
der he admitted in response to further
questions that he would tell lie if some
one asked him to.
Mr.. Fitzgerald attempted to compare
the situation with that of the Becker
case in New York, asking Heals II ne
did not know that certain persons got
out of the Becker case by putting it onto
someone else The court, however. quick
ly halted this line of inquiry on tho
ground that it was not pertinent.
Heals admitted he told his story to the
attorney general six times. He denied
that he was told he was to get Off with
two wears if Mrs. Mohr was convicted
and also denied that the attorney gen
eral had told him he W nted to convict
