AN EYE WITNESS WHEN
HISTORY WAS MADE


(The following Htense description
of Congress under th war cloud was
written TO Miss Florence Bassett OF
Whitewater, Wis, by her cousin. Mrs.
Mary b. Hayes, wife OF Congressman
Hayes OF California;
April 5th / was in the House gallery

until nearly three the next morning.

evidently, held some great stern
meaning for him. Another boy, In
build and feature and complexion was
strikingly like Philo except that he
wore glasses. There was nothing free
and easy about the galleries that day;
everything was so serious that II was
almost terrible.
Speeches for war and peace alter
mated through the long hours until
about one-thirty A. NJ, when there
were none left to speak for peace
then il was war and war. Speakers
were not announced; before one had
taken his seat another was speaking
The names OF those who wished to
speak we're registered in the order OF
application to the Chair. and each man
knew whom he was to follow. The
most thrilling event or series OF events
was, first, the speaking for 20 minutes
OF the Democratic leader. Claude

brated with emotion. 1t was oratory
OF the highest type. Not a gesture, not
a motion OF his body. and the audience
was motionless also, almost to breath
lessness. Dignity, power sweetness.
1 did not know then what I learned
the next morning but Claude Kitchin
knew that even then while he spoke
his brother lay dying, did die.
After several others had spoken,
The diamond drill., 1917-05-05


Hefin OF Alabama, Henin, the South
ern Gentleman. large and handsome
and sleek, rose and excoriated Kitchin
as a traitor, told him 10 resign as
leader OF his party, he was not their
leader, he did not belong TO their
party. even, resign from Congress, go
home, and even there they would
scorn him. Helm said IL was nothing
TO 80 TO war; II was good for our boys
to go to war etc. etc. with ranking
shrieks and wild gestulations.
After others had spoken came Bur
nett OF Alabama, man about four
feet ten, with large body but short
legs. and voice proportioned 10 his
good strong chest, an Alabaman OF
greater dignity but less style than
Helm. Mr.. Burnett eulogized Claude
Kitchin, deprecating the fact that Mr.
Hefiin had seen fit TO abuse him. Heflin
rose and denied something that was
said, but the Democrats cried him
down and would not let him be heard.
Then later in his speech. Burnett
turned to Hefin and said. You say
II is nothing to go 10 war! You go
and try IL; you go and enlist"
Heflin said, do you think I'm a
cowardl Why. | have sister and
sent one OF her sons down to the bor-
der last spring, and l shall send the
other TO France!"
o, how the Democrats howled at him
and Kissed and booed at him, and
groaned Then Burnett said, "Yes,
yes. Let the women and their child

this time bedlam had let loose Every
Member in the House was in a demon
stration. Helm shrieked himself red
in the face but could not be heard.
For a moment thought he was start
ing for Mr.. Burnett, but just then the
mace reached Mr.. Burnett, who quiet
ly bowed and made apologies for hav-
ing exceeded his time if he had done
so. Among other things, Mr.. Burnett
had challenged Hetiin to circulate a
petition to remove Kitchin from his Of
flee as leader saying he believed that
Hefin would find himself the only
Member who would wish to punish a
man for having expressed his honest
convictions at time when all the wis
dom OF all the Members was needed.
The whole House cheered to the echo.
Poor, proud Heflin had failed in his
efforts to belittle the influence of Kit
chins speech, and had brought down
upon his own head the scorn which
