 T am mighty glad of it. I was in favor, when I first heard of the German note, of telling MT. Bern storff to pack his duds and go home to his barbarians. We will do the best we can, and have no doubt but that we will live up to our past record in taking care of our selves. We don't take any passes from anybody to go anywhere We please on the seas. Congress ought unanimously to agree to back up the President to the limit just like We did Mckinley.
