Two men each with independent in

by their labor.
"A man of very small salary, who from
his salary as a soldier, namely, $50 per

NO ANIMUS IN VOTE

Washington, August 10.-(Special)
There was no animus in my vote to
expunge certain remarks recently made
in the House by Representative Heflin OF
Alabama stated Representative Burnett
of Alabama today.
"Since our original difference respecting
the selective draft legislation, Mr.. Heflin
and I have often been on the same side
of the fence. However, in his criticism
of several northern members of the
House. he repudiated the action of south
erners who had seen proper to differ from
him.
Several southerners supported the vol
unteer as opposed to the CONSUMPTION plan
of raising an army. We did so because
we thought-and we still feel-that by
calling for volunteers better army could
be more quickly raised. We have no
apology to make for our stand in that
regard.
when Mr.. Heflin criticized southerners
who had differed from him, it was nat
ural that such southerners should have
displayed their resentment. Personally,
Mr.. Heflin and I are very warm friends.
1t unfortunately happens, however. that
sometimes we cannot agree as to the
merits of pending legislation

SEPARATE CHURCH AND STATE

I'VE must not allow the war, however,
to obscure our duties as citizens in civil
life. We must not forget that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty, not only
national liberty but civil and religious
liberty within the state and nation. So,
If we crush the power of the Kaiser in the
contest of arms, as crush him we will,
We must then look to the affairs of state,
and see that no foreign influence is al
lowed to grow up in Alabama that will
interfere with free speech, with religious
and political liberty or the independence
under state rule of our public schools,
and We must see that church and state
are kept forever separate. We should toll
crate no domination of our public affairs
by any institution or organization, Secu-
lar or religious, that is NOR responsible
to the mandates of a foreign power than
to the laws of this land; that seeks to
carry on its work behind veil of Sec
recy, as if afraid of the pitiless light of
publicity. Before the shadow of Kaiser
ism was cast upon the fact of the world,
we were warned of such an influence by
Washington, Lafayette and other for
ward looking men of their time. Later
on President Lincoln. whom we under
stand better as the years roll by, made
this statement:
. do not pretend to be a prophet. But
though not a prophet, l see very dark
cloud on the horizon. And that dark cloud
is coming from Rome. 1t is filled with
tears of blood. 1t will rise and increase
till it's fianks will be torn by a flash
of lightning, followed by fearful peal of
thunder. Then a cyclone. such as the
world has never seen will pass over this
country, spreading ruin and desolation
from north to south After it is over
there will be long days of peace and
prosperity, for popery, with its Jesuits
and merciless inquisitions will have been
forever swept away from our country.
Neither / nor you, but our children will
see these things
Let us guard against that day. Let us
be true Americans in every sense of the
word, true guardians of the liberties of
the people, standing loyalty by our insti-
buttons and pledgng the best of our abil-
tiles to crush out autocracy in this coun-
try in whatever Sarb it may arise. We
who have studied the history of recon-
struetion find in the example of you
heroes of the Confederacy a most worthy
precedent, and il we but breathe into
our lives the stalwart spirit that was
yours, cherishing your victories and emu
lating your virtues I believe that Ala
bama will be made and kept safe for de-
mocracy, and that this nation will con-
tinue a beacon light Of civilization and
of Christianity"

COMRADES IN SPIRIT

IT have addressed you as comrades,
and since you know I am too young to
have followed you in the Cos you wonder
why l chose that salutation | did SO
because l conceive of comradeship as be-
ing spiritual and not physical; because
! can go back in spirit and become one
with you, just as you become young again
in contemplation of those heroic days
of trial that lifted mems souls to inn
mortal heights. A great poet has said
that all souls are of one age, and it
is as a comrade that l love to minge
with you and look in your faces and
read there the lines that tell me you have
become great in spirit through the suf-
ferings you have borne. Suffering and
sacrifices have ever been precedent to
peace, liberty, freedom and life more
abundantly. Man is born into this life
through suffering. 1t seems part of
Gods divine tempering process that he
should continue to suffer and to sacrifice,
in order to reach higher stature. 1t was
true with the ancients; true in the day
OF Moses; magnificently exemplfied on
the Cross of Calvary, and SO on through
the ages.
