sensation of the day with his speech against the resolution. It was the most important speech of the day, and is believed to have influenced other members in their speeches, and their votes
 Mr. Kitchin wrest1ed with himself long and seriously over the question of whether he should speak against or vote against the resolution. He decided to do both, and when he came into the House and took the floor in opposition to the measure the floor quickly filled, and he was accorded the most attentive hearing of any speaker of tue day.
 His speech showed deep thought and careful preparation. He said he spoke with full knowledge of the consequences of denunciation he fac ed, but would cast his vote for pos terity.
 Attack on Leader.
 Representative Hefflin, of Alabama, made fiery attack upon MT. Kitchin, and brought about demonstration first hostile to himself and then in favor of his declaration of war.

 Whatever shall be the future, I shall always feel that we ought to have kept this nation out of war.
 Wrongs From Britain.
 Great Britain every day has vio- ated American rights on the sea. She has unawfuly seized our commerce. She declared a war zone to cover the ports of the enemy. The North Sea has been filled with hidden mines. No American lives were lost there be- cause we submitted. we kept out of war. We sacrificed no honor. we sac- rificed no rights, because we knew they were not aimed at us. but the enemy. Rather than plunge this country into war, we kept out.
 Germany declared a war zone scuf- ficiently large to protect their ports. We knew it was not aimed at us. But we reXsed to yield. In my judgment we could have kept out of the war zone and surrendered no more rights in the one case than in the other.
 Great Britain has destroyed no American lives because this nation kept her ships out of their war zone.
 "Is the real reason for war with Germany the destruction of lives? Mexican bandits raided our towns. We did not go to war to avenge these. Carranza defied us. Yet we did not go Caranza defed us. Yet we did not go to war to avenge these. We were willing to forego it. I approved it then. I approve it now.
 Why could we not forego rights with Germany as with England and Mexico? have hoped and prayed God he would not permit us to go to war with the nations for doing what we might have done ourselves. Would we not if in war with Japan strike as wee ould?
 War upon the part of nations is sometimes necessary, is sometimes imperative. We have had no tnva- sion, no national honor sacrificed, nc national policy yielded permanently.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-04-06

'"The cause for which we now de- clare war could have been declared thirty days after the Germans start ed on their march toward Paris. We are asked to make England. France and Russia our cause, right or wrong. Until the government and It's peo- pie make the declaration of war, then and then only will it be the patriotic duty of the citizen to make the judg- ment of Congress his conviction.
 TT can conceive of brave loyal son who is aware that his father Is contemplating a conflict with some enemy trying to persuade him to re- frain from the fight. But when the final step is taken and the fight is be- gun I can see him taking off his hat in defense of that father.
 When this nation is found in the conflict I expect to be found emulat- ing the example of that son.
 MT. Kitchin labored under great emotion while delivering his speech.
 The pacifist group, who two days ago were ready to vote for the reso- lution, cheered up noticeably over Kitchin's attitude. Representative Hensley, Democrat, of Missouri, an- nounced that he now would vote
  ing pacifists, he said, would join with him.
 A broad smile possessed the face of Senator LaFollette, who sat in the rear of the cha naber. He opposed the res Olution in the Senate.
 MT. Kitchin was followed by Rep resentatives Rogers, Republican, of Massachusetts; Borland, Democrat, of Missouri; King, Republican, of Illinois; Cannon, Republican, of Illinois; Saun- ders. Democrat, of Virginia; Hull, Re- publican, of Iowa; Kahn, Republican, of California, for the resolution, and Representative Sherwood, Democrat, of Ohio, and Dill, Democrat, of Wash ington, against it.

A storm of hisses greeted this at tack, all coming from the floor of the chamber.
 You may hiss, you may speak for the Kaiser and not for the people of the United States!'' shouted Hef1in.
 MT. Kitchin made an impressive fig ure as he stood at the reading desk in the well of the lower House, upon the same spot where sat the Chief Justice of the United States on Monday night. Chief Justice White on that occasion not only nodded assent to every ut terance that fell from the lips of the President but openly applauded the most impressive periods of it.
 MT. Kitchin's burly figure was garbed in a blue business suit, a high white vest, and black string tie His delivery was excellent. His full round voice was a trifle husky, and as he read from five sheets of typed man. uscript he transmitted from some of it's periods into characteristic idioms of the South. For instance he said, "Git into war; and "you all,'' on more than one occasion.
 Let me say,'' he said, 'that it takes neither moral or physical courage to declare war for others to fight. It is not a sign of patriotism for one to urge others to fight when he himself keeps out.
 'I have come to the conclusion should vote against this resolution, against the convictions of a large number of my colleagues. I know shall be criticised from one end of the country to the other

GERMAN CENSORS
 CUT PARTS OF TEXT

Copenhagen, April 6-The Ger man public up to the present time has had no opportunity to hear the full story of the reasons lead ing up to the entrty of the United States into the war; as only con- densed and expurgated versions of President Wilson's message ap- pear in German newspapers yes- terday under headings indicating that this was practically the conn plete text.
 This in part is apparently due to the fact that the first version of the speech telegraphed from England to neutral countries on the Continent on Tuesday were sharply condensed.
 But a comparison of this tab- Ibid version as received in Den mark with that published in Der lin shows that the German cen sors' pencils had been vigorously employed to strike out reference to the conduct of German agents, which constitutes one of the main items of President Wilson's indict- ment of the autocratic German government.
 The Presidents reference to the attempt to embroi1 Mexico against the United States is deemed inn proper reading for Germans, nor are they allowed to hear his req sons for the conviction that the German government has not only no friendship for America, but is ready at any opportunity to plot against it's security.
 The reference to dynastic wars, too, is twisted into 9 shape which has aroused indignant comment in German newspapers. >~

Threshing Machines
Start Work On New Crop

Several machines have started upon
their first circuit of threshing, mainly
in the unstacked shock grain. The
stacked grain, which is the best, will
go through the sweat, and await the
second circuit of the threshers later.
Perhaps 1t is just as well for the far
mer, as the uncertainty Of govern
mental action has shot prices all to
pieces at primary markets. Cash
wheat in Minneapolis yesterday was
quoted at $3.50 for No. / Northern.
At the same time local buyers in
South Dakota were instructed to buy
on a card of $1.S1 to $1.S5 for the
same grade This makes a difference
between Central South Dakota and
Minneapolis of IS cents per bushel,
while the normal difference of freight
and elevator commissions is only IL
to IS cents.
~Threshing results reported to local
elevators are very meager, because in
several fields only a portion of the
crop had been tEreshed. Barley is
reported to be running from IL to "a
bushels, wheat from 7 to 21, oats from
Is to 80.
