SEN. HARDWICK ASSA|LS
D|SLOYALTY AMENDMENTS
Georgian Says They Are De-
signed to Suppress Free
Speech

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The So
called "disloyalty amendments" to the
Overman espionage bill were bitterly as
sailed in the senate yesterday by Sena-
tor Hardwick, who declared the amend
ments might be used to suppress free
speech and prevent the utterances of
honest differences of opinion"
This legislation may be used as an
engine of persecution where perfectly
loyal men have honest differences of
opinion" shouted Senator Hardwick. II
balk, hesitate. and gag over it and tell
you 1 cannot vote for it,
Senator Hardwick said the proposed
legislation was an unjustified meddling
with the fundamental rights of citizens
and should be stricken from the bill.
The amendments attacked by Senator
Hardwick provide for heavy fine and
long imprisonment for persons guilty
in time of war for uttering any disloyal,
contemptuous or abusive language about
the government of the United States, or
the soldiers or uniform of the United
States, or who shall incite or advocate
curtailment of production for war and
shall say anything against the prosecu-
tion of the war or by word or act sup
port the German cause.
Mr.. Hardwick said the language was
so broad that it surpassed the sedition
act of 1898 and was subject to inter-
probation which could result in whole
sale persecution
II understand" he said, this legisla-
ton is wanted by some of the north
western states to check this q. w. w.
organization. The states have laws and
authority to handle these people. Why
do they come here to meet situation
involving a small group of men. Lam
guage is offered curtailing the right of
free speech of 100, 900, 900 Americans. 1t
is another illustration of the ineficien-
cy and impotency of the states and their
growing habit of bringing all their trou-
bles here to Washington and laying
them on the back of Uncle Sam"
When Senator Poindexter, of Wash
ington, asked if 1T was proposed to pro-
tect pro-German utterances in Georgia,
Senator Hardwick replied: I'VE have
no German sympathizers in my state.
That is not the point at all. / know of
no disloyal Georgians."
Senator Poindexter said Hardwicks
argument seemed to be that the north
west states themselves should handle
the l. w. w. situation and let Geor-
gians make disloyal utterances if they
wanted to.
Senator Hardwick referred to the fact
that in some peoples opinion it borders
on disloyaIty to discuss peace at this
time, and added:
THE president did this country a big

service when he recently discussed the
terms upon which peace could be made"
The Georgia senator said we were in
the fight now, but he said he hoped the
time would come when we could discuss
our differences with Germany.
when that time comes, want to be
able to discuss peace, unmolested," he
added. The principal objection to the
pending bill on his part results from the
amendments inserted by the senate
committee, Senator Hardwick said.
Any illusions to peace at this time
were deplored as being most unfortu-
nate by Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets. Senator Hardwick said he agreed
that this was no time to discuss peace.

ssertion. For all intelligent hu
man beings know how and IN
what manner our bodies come
and are formed and ivi Ibis yea
son we state that the first body
,of nature would have to be
brought about.
For this reason Nature would
have to have mother.
For we can 70 back for five
thousand years before the time
OF what is called the advent of
|'Chri.t to earth. And we have the
same kind of bodies formed and
4 in the same manner, we find no
change in the seven thousand
years whatever, in the forming
of the human body.
From this standpoint Ut vie ",
We must say that nature would
have'to be a creative power and
ifa creative power it would have
to have the power to give and
take life, for the body lives and
must die. And for natures God
to have the powe 10 give and take
life it places it with the same
power that the God of the uni
