A MOTHERS SONG.
- Lzcrl 1,,ha- a 1iff1o Nt,{1fJ


Long years ago, still rings
In memory strains, amid life's wild
Tempestous way; it sings
OF purest love, Givinest theme;
Soothing to sweet elysian dream
In tender lullaby.
That voice is hushed forever gone
From earth it's accents mild;
Yet in my dreams and through day
dawn
It Gains as when child
mothers song! All, memory blest!
OF all earths songs l love it best,
Though simple melody.

History Shows That Congress A.
ways Split on This Important
Question Whenever It
Was Raised.
THEY HESITATED IN 1898
Vote to Move Spain Out Of Western
Hemisphere Not az Unanimous
az That Against Ger,
man Empire.

A man remarked the other day that
he would feel better about this war
If congress had voted unanimously II
favor of It,"
If you will look back through the
history of this peerless and highly
respected land of the free. you. Will
find that congress never voted unan-
imously for any war into which we
entered. Yet every war has proven
to be a just war and war for llber.
ty and the high things OF national
and individual life.
Just nineteen years ago this month
the halls of congress reverberated
with oratory and hot debate over the
question of freeing Cuba from the
Spanish oppressor. There was no
doubt that the people of the little
island were being outrageously per-
secuted. That was admitted.
That Cuban WrangIe.
But did all the congressman and
senators vote in favor of freeing the
little island. No so you could notice
it. Upon the final resolution de.
claring that the Cubans were and OF
a right ought to be free and bidding
Spain get her soldiers out of Cuba
and her battleships out of Cuban
waters, the vote ini the senate was
AZ for and 35 against. In the house
80 voted for the resolution and six
against it.
How does that compare with the
house vote of 373 to so and the SEN
ate vote of 80 to six in favor of the
German resolution?
Perhaps you imagine the north
went into the civil war unanimously.
Far from it. There was a great deal
of opposition all through the north
and in congress to President Lin
coins war policies in 1861.
The Mexican war had the same his
tory back in 1916. In spite of a long
series of outrages against American
citizens, President Polk had a hard
time getting congress in line for war.
Calhoun, the most prominent demo
crat of the time was against it.
The final vote in the senate was
AZ to two, and in the house 173 to IA.
Declaration Unanimous.
Well. let's go back to the American
revolution. Perhaps you think the
Declaration of Independence was
adopted and signed without dissent
ing voice. 1t, was, in fact, adopted
unanimously, July 4, 1876. But this
was only after long debate.
The war Of 1912 was launched only
after much opposition in congress.
President Madison himself was not
heartily in favor of 1t. 1t is said that
Henry Clay forced him into it.
And on the final vote, after much
debate, congress voted for the war
by only a very narrow margin. The
vote in the house was 10 to 40 and
in the senate, after the declaration
had been held up for two weeks, the
vote was 10 to 10.
So you see, you can feel just as
good as you want to over the way the
declaration for human liberty passed
congress, flor it passed by very
respectable majority indeed

portance to river cities, especially in
that it will permit of an exchange Of
rail and river freight at these points
The point gained is one which has
been long contested by promoters OF
rail transportation. 1t is a victory IL
that it eliminates a discrimination
which has seriously interfered with
water shipments in the past.
