Surely, [ have as much right to condemn
the sending Of vast armies to Europe, as
those Catholic prelates had to condemn the
Presidents Mexican policy.
Ii no one had ever been bold enough to
write and to talk on the side Of liberty. how
would people have ever got any liberties?
Even when the South was under military
GHle with generals acting as governors, there
was no effort at throttling the press, and in
timidating free speech.
The acts Of usurpation, against which Oun
orators spoke without molestation, in 1866
and the years following were not, in my
judgment, more hurtful to the country, than
those which have recently been rushed upon
us.
I have simply appealed to mems reason,
just as was done then by L. 0. c. Lamar, by
Jno. I. Morgan, by Gen. John 3. Gordon, by
Zehulon Vance, by George Vest, by Robert
Toombs, Benz. II. Hill, and Alex. II.

If Chas E. Hughes had been elected last
November, and had adopted the same policy
whicE President Wilson had certainly never
limited, two months before he adopted them,
the very papers that are now supporting
President Wilson, would have been filling the
land with their clamorous denunciation Of
Mr.. Hughes.
With huge army appropriations, amount
ing to three Or four thousand millions of dol
lars, and with q bond issue Of two thousand
millions, there are naturally enormous re-
sources at the command of those who favor
the sending Of the flower of American youth
across the ocean.
President Wilson himself said that millions
Of these young men might die on foreign
fields OF blood; he also said, on May IS, when
speaking at the dedication of the Red Cross
building IN Washington, that we were not in
the war because Of any particular grievance
of our own.
It seems to me to be terrible thing to
take our young men by the millions. and send
them into foreign lands, to die there in battle,
when we have no particular grievance of our
own.
If the President had not felt that, on May
-, would he have said it?
Has any material addition to the cause of
war come into existence since the 18th day
of May?
You cannot believe that the President was
insncere, when, in January Of this year, he
was still trying to follow up his peace note,
and to bring about an end of the war, with
out victory for either side.
Is it possible to understand why, at the
end of February the President told Congress
that our attitude should be one of earned
neutrality" if there really did exist any rea-
son why we should send armies across the
ocean to perish on foreign fields of blood?
The President has spoken of crushing mill
tarism in Germany: is it more offensive there
than it is in Austria, or Italy, or even in

How is it possible to crush a system which
the Germans like, when they number sixty
five million souls, and all supported by as
many more III Austria, Hungary. and Bull
garia?
The law Of nations does not authorize us
to change the form of any other government,
forciby
Napoleon Bonaparte utterly failed when
he tried to force liberty and a superb code
Of laws upon Spain; and we certainly should
not forget the failure Of repeated attempts
Of the allied kings of Europe, to force Bo,l-
bon tyranny upon France
Government is something which people
itself must originate; it never is an imported
product: it grows up in the hearts Of the
souls Of the people, on their own soil, and
outside interference is abortive.
rs to the cry that it is our duty to make
the world safe for democracy, it sounds ironi-
cal and tragic in view of what is actually be-
ing done in cur own country.
prusalanlzlng ourselves, as a preparation
for crushing Prussianism abroad, may be the
honest belief of those who are putting it into
practice, but the consequences to this Re
public will be fatal

sisance to the law.
Neither in speech nor in writing, neither

On the contrary, | have repeatedly said, in
The Jeffersonian itself, that the two remedies
and the only two, which the people could
legally apply, were the bringing of test
cases in the Federal Courts, and by petition
ing Congress to repeal the law.
That has been the attitude Of The Jeffer-
sonian throughout; it has been the burden
Of my private correspondence; it has been
repeated to visiting delegations in my
home, and it was the burden of my two hours
speech to my neIghbors, at Thomson, on
June %.
In the Savannah Press it is stated as
positive fact that, during the course of my
speech at Thomson, Ieofered my professional
services, free Of charge, to any young man
who had refused to register.
The statement is a malicious fal5ehOod, and
It's publishers are unscrupul0us liars; they
could easily have found cut that the speech
was not I'll that line at all, and no state
ment Of that character was made
Nothing was said about the registration,
except that it imposed a new duty on mil

9 year in jail, if they failed to comply with

full cup OF shampoo liquid, enough
