ROOSEVELT AFTER STONE
Accuses Missouri Senator of Serving
the Kaiser
st. Louis Republic

WASHINGTON, D. c., January
25. - In a speech before the National
Press Club yesterday afternoon, Col.
Theodore Roosevelt hurled back the
charge made the other day in the Sen
ate by Senator Stone, of Missouri, that
the Colonel sis the most potent agent
the Kaiser has in America"
This is the same Senator Stone
who voted against the declaration of
war last year." said Col. Roosevelt.
"He is the same Senator Stone who
engaged in filibustering operations
against action to defend ourselves,
flibustering operations Of the kind
which drew public rebuke from the
President of the United States"
Senator Stone did all he could to
Germany against the United
States by preventing the entry of the
United States into war against Ger
many" shouted the Colonel. his voice
breaking in his anger into the we'll
known falsetto. And he now does
all he can to Germany against
the United States by e~ndeavoring 70
prevent the United States from be.
coming efficient in the war against
Germany"
Recalls Rider Revelations
The Colonel charged that Senator
Stones speech furnished the most
conspicuous exception" to the rule
against partisan u~tteranees in Con-
gress since the United States became
engaged in war.
But the ~partisanship was the
east offensive portion Of his speech
continued. 1T also was q menda-
'ious speech, but the mendaeity was
not the most offensive portion Of the
ipeech-which was perhaps not Who'll
uncharacteristic.
THE really offensive portion Of the
.peech was that it was an attack on .
he interests Of the United States and
therefore,, an insidious effort on be-
laf Of Germany. This is the same
senator Stone, who, a year ago last !
all, was engaged in defending him
from the revelations Of Bernard
'idder as to his (Mr. Stone's) negotj- ]
tons for the German vote and his If |
ore to persuade the Germans that he. !
enator Stone, was speaking with au- I
when he said the Government l
'ould only make believe to be against !
ZEN, but would really be for them" {

nation it furnishes the people and
the form of ballot it produces. a
direct vote of the people cast
blindly on a confused ballot, With
out discussion Of the issues and
without any information or knowl-
edge of the qualifications of the

a primary election law.

been occupied by the Germans for
four years. We do not have to be
careful about going thru the gar
dens like we did in the French
gardens.
The Germsns had some fine
gardens. They sure believe in
planting lots of cabbage. Judging
from the amount of food supplies
that we found in some of the hous-
es. the Germans are not starving
by any means.

IN SHOWING 'EM HOW

We have mentioned that Miss Mar
garet Brown and mother are at Fort
Meyers, Fla, where they are enjoy
ing the sunny days and delightful
season of rest amid palm trees and
flowers. Miss Maragret is too active
and versatile, however, to remain do
ing nothing so she is showing the peo-
pie of Florida how to keep books and
to write advertisements. She is sue
ceeding beyond her own expectations.
We are glad to hear of her being ap-
preciated, but we are selfish enough
to hope that she will not be allured
from home, and her legion Of friends
who appreciate her talent and gene
ality. Miss Margaret is a wonderful
ad writer and her ability along this
line would cone with metropolitan
writers.
