A part of Senator Hardwck's
speech at Mllien last week is as fol-
lows:
q am here because it is my duty
t. be here-a duty that l owe to my
Iself to the people of this entire coun-
ty and section, to the great masses OF
the people throughout Georgia, and
to the cause of free speech and of
American liberty throughout the land.
1T is a duty that owe to myself
because of the persistent and contind-
ed efforts of a lot of corrupt, venal
and utterly unreliable newspapers,
seconded by lot of me too poll
ticians and a few boot-lickers and
time servers, who have neither minds
nor consciences of their own, to both
Islander and intimidate mbe."
Referring to his attitude on draft
law, he said: that he opposed it be-
cause he thought it 'unwise, unnecas-
sary and not in consonance with our
history and traditins.
Continuing, he said; my position
in this matter is well known, the reas-
ons that support it are well known
and have been fully stated. On that
position | stand as mistaken and as
unmistakable as the granite rock that

for the draft, in any form or in any

hood of this country to defend its soil

that is what we did, and extreme limit
of what we did during our civil war;
l will never vote to draft free men
for foreign service to render military
service across the seas without their
consent.

Support without Drafting.

I'VE ought to wage no wars but just
wars, and just wars will always re-
ceive adequate support from brave

ing, and any man who contends that
we could not have so waged this war,
either doubts the justice of our cause
or challenges both the bravery and
thepatriotism of the people,
For my own part, l have an abid7
ing faith in the justice of our cause,
and an unshakable confidence in both
the patriotism and courage of the
American people, and do not for
moment doubt that they would have
adequately supported this war without
anv coercive measures, and indeed
with far more courage and with far
more stomach for it than they can
be induced to support it by any num-
Der of coercive measures that may be
employed. But to revert from this
lust a moment to the position in which
the cheap politicians and cheaper
in our state who have en-
barked in this crusade to SANDER and
abuse, to threaten and to intimidate
me, have sought to put me. Consider

Cendemned by MGr. Thomas.
1 Euthanasia, in Its suggested form,
is condemned by Mgr. c. F. Thomas,
pastor of st. Patrick's Catholic
Church. who holds to the theory that
nature has her own euthanasia, and
that man should not be deprived of
the last moments OF life when he
should be preparing himself for the
world to come.
"Euthanasia. the giving Of anesthetics
to deaden pain, SO that the patient is
rendered generally or permanently in
sensible, seems rather extreme and in
defensibls." said Mgr. Thomas. 1t might
be readily admitted as just and proper
to administer drugs for temporary re-
lief Of the sufferer, or when a serious
operation Is to be performed, ,. 1t Is nee
essary to put the patient into a condi-
ton where he will not feel the pain.
But 1t does not appear to me just
right to deprive a sufferer Of the use
of his reason in the hours preceding
death.
'If man were but an animal. without
a soul or spiritual life. and II his going
forth from this life be no more. than

DR.. HARVEY WILEY
SAYSMORALLY, LY,NO;;
ECONOMICALLY, YES

From a cold-blooded, economic
standpoint, every pauper and imbecile
and hopelessly-incurable person in
the United States ought to be put
! to death painlessly by the State, ac-
cirdinE to DR.. Harvey W. Wiley,
former CHIEF of the United States
Bureau OF Chemistry, but the idea is
impossible under our present national
psychology, he believes.
DR.. Wiley made this statement to-
day in commenting upon the action
of DR.. A. W. Guild, OF Des Moines,
Iowa, who made plea before the
annual convention of the American
Association of Progressive Medicine.
at Chicago. in which DR.. Guild urged
| the adoption OF legalized eothanasIa
for the disposal of all aged, infrm
OF suffering persons who lonEed for
death.
"sueh an idea is only possible un-
der a system similar to German kul-
! tur. The existence OF imbeciles and
incurables is undoubtedly a burden
| to the State, but IT Is not an unmixed
evil The mere fact that the State
twill carry such q burden shows that
humanitarianism Is still active in our
Government
IL Already Praetieed.
"Euthanasia is already practiced
to the greatest permissible extent.
1t il legitimate medical practice to
ease the pain OF an incurable even
though the easing of his pain will
hasten death I believe; though, that
as long as human life is regarded As
precious, 1t is impossible to put into
operation such an idea.
Every reputable practitioner in
the United States believes in this
form Of euthanasia. 1t Is perfectly
proper, when a physician has satisfied
himself that q patient cannot get
, well, and when the patient Is in an
] extreme moribund condition. to ad-
minister an opiate or q narcotic Of
some sort, even when the doctor
knows that the administering of that
narcotic will pass the patient into .
sleep that precedes the sleep of death.
But at the same time. society faces
a terrible responsibility when IL at
tempts to take the life of the indi-
Vidual without the proper process OF
/ law. The mere fact that several per-
sons, among them the principal, come
to an agreement to bring about the
, death of an individual is not sufficient
! ground for causing the death OF a hu-
man being, no matter how great the
provocation.
DIsaEreea With Guild.
"Dr. Guild says, 1 understand. that
a man would mereifully knock a
horse in the head, and that the same
thing, in effect, should be done to a
| human being who Is in q hopeless
! condition. 1 don't agree with him.
Such things tend to produce cold
! bloodedness in a nation. 1t is that
same coldblooded, calculating effic-
iency which has made the German
| conduct of the war so terrible and
| which we are now trying to wipe out
\ for the peace OF the world.
"Dr. Osler, in advocating the chloro-
! forming OF men after they had passed
the age OF sixty, made the mistake
of fixing a time limit, just as the
military service mistakes in re-
tiring officers at a certain age, re-
gardless of their efficiency. Accord
ing to osler's theory, I've been dead
for thirteen years. whereas I've done
my best work in that time.
