Stands Where Washington Stood.

The President stands where George
Washington stood in 1893. when Eng
land. in the war with France. seized
and held hundreds of vessels floating
the Stars and Stripes. He prepared for
wsr-he built warships, he erected
forts-but he didn't shoot. He settled
our differences with England by nego-
tiation just as Woodrow Wilson is try
ing to do today. And here, paren-
thetically, let me remark that while
Secretary OF State. Elihu Root. in
speech in Argentina. practically re-
peated the great sentiment of Charles
Sumner: Washington. unfolding the
peaceful neutrality of this country.
while he met unmoved the clamor of
the people. wickedly clamoring for war.

Root condemns President Wilson for
the very policy for which he praised
George Washington.
IF Mr.. Root will turn to the Declara-
ton of independence he will find re-
minder that this is a country which re-
sorts to war only after every other
form of redress has failed
He will find that before the Ameri-
can colonies drew the pistol. they

jured the British government to dis

complained. Inen, as now, race OF

ed and all other means of asserting
their rights be in vain. AS nation
We deprecate the waste. the horror. the
unreason OF war. because we are mas

The efforts of politicians, like Mr..
Root, to make political capital out of
the course which President Wilson
deems il wise for this nation 10 fol-

early stages of the present war, de-
serve. and will receive, unqualified con-
demnation and rebuke at the hands of

Ex-Gov. GIym Classes Former
Senator as "Drum and
Trumpet Statesman"
ANSWERS THE CRITICISM
OF PRESIDENTS POLICY
Declares Adverse Comment Will Not
Change Administrators Course
in Present Crisis.

SYRACUSE, y. Y, March Former
Gov. Martin H. Glynn. at the democratic
state conference here last night, gave
his party's reply to the speech of for
mer United States Senator Elihu Root
before the republican state conference
in New York several weeks ago. TAX
ing up Mr.. Roots charges against the
present national administration. he
answered each point. He also took Mr..
Root to task for his speeches in the
United States Senate and for his acts
as Secretary of State of the United
States.
The federal reserve act. the Under
wood tariff, foreign affairs and pre-
paredness were all dwelt upon by the
former governor.
-Four years ago. he said. this ma
tion committed it's care and well
fare to the democratic party, and the
democratic party has been true to its
international laws and followed the
try.
Denying that Mr.. Root was 1.-The
keeper of national honor" Mr.. Glynn
added: For years Mr.. Root has been
ences, and yet he condemns President
Wilson for maintaining peace.
For years." continued the speaker,
Mr.. Root has been acclaimed an apos-
tie of peace. and in 1912 was awarded
the Nobel prize for the promotion of
peace, but now he sallies forth as
drum and trumpet statesman.
From q cooling dove of peace Mr..
Root suddenly transforms himself into
a swooping hawk of war.
Years ago enthusiasts in Bohemia
took the skin Of John Ziska, the pa
triot. and stretched it as a drumhead
rouse their followers to war. SO to-
Gay Elihu Root would stretch the skins
Of the victims of the Lusitania. the
skins of the victims of the Belgian in
vasion, into a drumhead to rouse the
kindly sentiment of sympathy into the
.ruel frenzy of war.
Mr.. Root may beat his drumhead and
',lare his trumpet, but President Will
son will go right on winning the plaud-
It's of the American people by appeal
ing to reason. humanity and common
sense. and by keeping the United States
the incorporating champion of the
neutral world and the undaunted MAIN
tainer of the principles which have
guided this nation since 1I16.
In his foreign policy the President,
Mr.. Glynn said. was following the ex
ample of Washington. John Adams.
Jefferson. Lincoln and Grant.
The President he declared, has
only shaken his finger: when he has to
shake his fist the world will find it

Tor the boys OF ChlngLlng and Hung Chang,
IN China, hurry up and convince me, SO that
may get to work right away on the pocket
nerves Of John Jones and Tom Brown.
If it is the duty of the American Joneses
and Browns and Smiths to neglect their own
sick and suffering, and to furnish the coin
for the building and maintenance of hos
pitfalls all over the balance of the world, for
the sick and the suffering of foreign countries,
show it to me, right away, and let me begin
to howl at Jones and Brown and Smith.
The Reverend Ainsworth cannot say that I
ever did him harm. So far as recollection
serves, [ have never seen this Apostle of
Sweetness and Light.
So far as [ know, it has never been my mis-
fortune to personally provoke this humble
Eyangel of Compassion and Brotherly Love.
Why, then, did he burst forth, against me,
at a Y. NJ c. A. meeting, on the Sabbath
preceding the day my trial was to take place
III the Federal Court?
Usually, it is presumed that even the poor
est negro is innocent, until his guilt has been
established by legal proofs.
Usually, the men who consider themselves
respectable, refrain from publishing TRADES
against fellow citizen who is on the eve of
his trial
Usually, a person who would do a thing
like that would be universally censured, were
the case merely an ordinary one, involving
homicide, wrecking, seduction, or rob-
berry,
But where Rome seeks to destroy a
Protestant, because he made a sustained at
tack upon the system whose horrible
crimes against God and man gaze birth to
Protestant churches, could you conceive of
anything more unnatural than the action Of
Protestant clergyman taking sides with
Rome?
But for the pioneers who did, in the 10th
Century, ust such work as I have been doing
for many years-Work made absolutely neces-
sary by the resurrection Of medieval popery-
there would not now be in existence any such
church as that which Ainsworth belongs to,
and breaches in; nor would there be freedom
of the press which enables Canadian rene
gade to flee his own country to escape mill
tary service, and occupy his time in Georgia
vilifying Georgians who would be ashamed
to be caught III his company.
For what purpose did Ainsworth select the
day before my trial, to preach against me?
From what source. is he looking for a re-
ward?
If to the Roman Catholics, his conduct can
be understood. Their papers are already full
Of his name and his praise. At one bound he
has gained place on their roost side by side
with Ashby Jones, another Leo Frank cham
piOn.
Give the Italian pope many more recruits
like Ainsworth and JONES' and the work of
Luther and Calvin and Knox and Latimer
will come to nOught.
Since the days of the Reformation, there
has been no change for the better in the Ro-
man Catholic system.
If Luther had no cause to combat it, qce

sort OF TODD she ate, at that price, your mind
may recoll from the next questions to-wit:
How did she buy clothing, fuel, oil, medi-
cne, etc, and how did she pay house rent?
Ii she had children, how did they keep soul
and body together?
Every one is entitled to his own opinion. of
course, but there are a few Christians, I'm
sure, who will not admire the type of preacher
who lives luxurlously on a handsome salary
supplied IN part by woman who tolls for
fifty cents day.
In Palestine, the widow who gave the mite
was IN no danger of starvation, after she had
given her little all. Among the Jews, charit-
able support of the poor was orga2igcd,' and,
whereas, the Gentle clergyman claimed
1.-THE, and kept the whole tenth for his own
use, the Jewish 1.-THE was divided betacec7o the
priesthood and the poor.
Such thing as dying for the lack of feed,
ralment, and shelter was unknown to the
Hebrew economy: hence, when the widow
gave her mite, she had her tribe and its 1.-THE
to fall back on, for maintenance.
Can Ainsworth name some similar organi-
cation which will feed and clothe his self
sacrificing mill-worker, if her balance of
$3.50 week proves insufficient to support
life?
Let S get Gown TO brass tdCkS:
What is Ainsworth mad with me about?

Of the State, and taken it's place with a more

ever opposed the methods which the evangeli-
cal churches employed for more than seven

I stand exactly where Adoniram Judson
stood; and Dir. Judson stood exactly where
The Apostle Paul stood. If Ainsworth knows
Il better way than that of Judson and Paul, it
i his privilege to pursue it; but he should be
gaore charitable to those who rank Judson and
Paul higher than they rank Ainsworth.
The gist of my contention has been that our
duty is done when carry the Gospel to the
hcathen, and teach him that which Christ
taught us.

officials of the company said that they
did not expect any trouble, and said
they had assurance from the other de-
partments that help would be supplied

time there are many orders ahead.
The demands made by the union are:
