A burst of applause came from the

cluded.
Spectators Show Disgust
Senator Nardaman, Democrat, of
Mississippi, one of the ''wilful men"
named by President Wilson, said he
wished he could vote with the ma jor-
ity of his colleagues but that he must
follow the path of duty" as he sees
it.
II must see the path of duty through
the mists of passion" said the Mis-
sissippi senator.
Some spectators got up and left the
galleries as Nardaman spoke, and he
interjected he did not care whether
they remained or not "The atmos-
phere enveloping this Capitol for the
past year." Vardaman continued, has
been surcharged with the spirit of
prejudice, hate and love-all good and
bad passions, until men have lost their
bearings and their poise. Everything
seems out of joint. OF all the times
when Congress and the people should
keep their heads now is the time. Self
assumed superiority of mind, intoler-
ance and bigotry are attributes of lit
tie minds, incompetent in leadership
for directing affairs of this great ma
tion.
Provocation Is Great
''The provocation is great" he said,
referring to German acts against this
country. 1.-THE tide of passion runs
high. Each senator should remem-
ber that he may, by his vote, be sign
ing the death warrant of hundreds of
thousands and burdening generations
with crushing burdens endangering
their very existence"
Senator Vardaman said he did not
question the patriotism of those diff
fering with him, but predicted the
wisdom of their course would be de-
termined by time alone.
For the life of me, l cannot be-
lieve that war is for the welfare of

HE BELGIAN DEPORTATION.

German explanation of the dcporta-
tons of BelgianS should be read with
consideration. 1t Is explained by them
that a vast number Of unemployed Is
to be cared for and afforded means of
earning a living or 20 be supported
without labor. The German reply as
serts that none are deported except
those who without satisfactory reasons
a great number who have been receir-
ing relief from charitable sources are
satisfied to continue on that basis and
refusing to work create "intolerable
conditions" These. the Germans as
sert are removed to places where they
must work and contribute to their own
support and to necessary production.
that they are placed on the same foot
ing as German laborers and receive the
same wage. which is higher than they
had been given at home in previous
employment. Arrangements divert
part of their earning to relatives and
dependents and they are granted regu-
lar leave of absence to visit their homes
and afforded opportunity and facilities
of correspondence.
Setting aside all argument on the vio-
lation of neutrality by invasion Of Bel
GUM and giving consideration TO the
problem of supporting great popula-
ton it is easy to understand how con-
ditions may have become "intoera BILE"
in Belgian labor centers. Among SO
many the percentage of those who pre-
fer relief to labor is certain to become
a problem. They must have food or
starve. clothing or freeze. The struggle
for national existence subordinates in
dividual consideration. And in the
final analysis those who refuse to labor
must be made to labor for themselves
and their dependents. That is the Ger
man view and the German conclusion
is but narrowly precedent to German
action If it is true that the transfer Of
labor is for the purposes and conduct
ed in the manner stated it is what any
nation might deem a necessary resort
But even that leaves the question Of
Il violated neutrality and a weak coun-
try crushed by mighty power open.
That is another story.

One hundred seventy four years age
yesterday John Fitch, who built the
first steamboat that navigated Ameri-
can waters, was born. The fact of
Mr.. Fitch's birth was concealed from
him for several years, otherwise he
would have offered violent protest,
as his life was full Of misery and
caustic dunning letters and he died a
damp and unpleasant death as a re-
suit of trying to drink Kentucky dis
tillery to a complete standstill.
Fitch was born in Connecticut, but
at the age of seventeen ran away
from home to escape persecution and
shipped before the mast. Here he ran
into brand OF persecution which
stamped itself upon his mind and
auticle with great distinctness, and he
soon retired from the sea in order TO
allow the aforesaid cuticle to recuper-
ate. Misfortune pursued him, how
..ver for he married a lady with a
.emper which could soar to an alti-
tude Of $4,000 feet without retarding
her tongue action. After two years of
welded bliss they agreed to dissolve
by mutual consent, and
altho Fitch perkcd up good deal
after that he never made love to any
Cody else unless third party was
present.
Fhchs first boat was launched in
May. 49,. and developed a speed OF
three miles an hour when the current
was swift enough. Later this was in
creased TO eight miles and Fitch would
