ally themselves with these discordant elements of unrest.
 But I especially protest against and .denounce the efforts put forward under the guise of patriotism to disparage this congress and the present admins tration, to excite a wider feeling of discOntent and lack of confidence, and to spread the poison of this impression broadcast. Plainly, this sort of move ment is afoot"
 As proof of this charge, which Sen ator Stone said represented "deliber- ately and regretfully," the Republicans are "harping" on alleged administra- tive blunders and stalking their politi- cal fortunes upon their criticisms.
 First present the Hon. Boies Pen- rose,' Senator Stone continued, "who as a great leader of the foremost Re- publican state very properly occupies the front seat in the Republican na- tional Sanhedrin."
 Citing alleged statements of Senator PenrOse that the Republican leaders were planning to demand an account ing of the conduct of the war, Senator Stone said that Senator Penrose's jus tihcation for his partisan outburst was over the appointment of Democratic groceryman in Pennsylvania and Democratic farmer in Indiana as fed eral explosives inspectors.
 Senator Penrose," he said, "seems to have forgotten partisan appoint ments by the governor of Pennsylvania of Republicans on war committees"
 Of the Pennsylvania committee members, MT. Stone said 3O9 were Re publicans and only fourteen Demo crats.
 Turning to Chairman Wilcox of the Republican national committee, the Missouri senator said before he intro duced his "star witness" he would cite the statement made to the press by MT. Wilcox regarding the incom- 'petence of the Democratic party and its effect on coming congressional cleo tions. He said meeting of the Re publican leaders had been called at St. Louis on February 12 to inaugu- rate winter campaign.
 Colonel Roosevelt has engaged a hall in St. Louis to make a war speech the day before the committee meet ing" Senator Stone continued. q now introduce my star witness, Theo- dore Roosevelt himself, whom char acterize as the most seditious man of consequence in America. The heart

-A resume of the speech of Senator William Stone of Missouri delivered in the senate on January 2, in which he charged that Theodore Roosevelt was ''the most potent agent of the Kaiser in America" has just been re- ceived here.
 Senator Stones address, carefully Rrepared, the first of political signifi- canoe made in congress since the United States entered the war, and regarded as the forerunner of bitter partisan strife, excoriated partisanship in the war. Besides Colonel Roose- welt, the Missouri senator named Chairman Wilcox of the Republican National committee, and Senator Pen rose among Republican leaders as his witnesses" to the political plot he alleged Investigations by congress by war operations, Senator Stone also declared, have almost entirely been launched by Republicans and adroitly exploited for partisan purposes.
 Citing statements of the Republican leaders regarding the political plans and editorials of Colonel Roosevelt, which, he said, are villainous screeds," {" published for money, Senator Stone declared:
 "On my responsibility as a senator I charge that since our entrance into the war Roosevelt, by his attacks on the government has been a menace and obstruction to the successful prosecution of the war.
 ''The only possible effect of these widely published utterances of this man." said Senator Stone, "has been as they were designed to be, to dis credit and bring the present govern ment into public disfavor and weaken its hold on popular confidence. That seems to be the Rooseveltian standard of patriotism"
 Similar utterances made by less powerful citizens, Senator Stone as- serted, would subject them to prose cution for disloyalty.
 ''Of all men," the Missouri Senator continued, Roosevelt is most respons-

1 or this man is afiame with inordinate ambition and he runs amuck. His chief thought is not to help the government but always of Roosevelt. Almost ev- cry day this man speaks in bitter and contemptuous disparagement of the President and the majority members of this congress. Every week for a long time he has been and still is pub fishing under contract for money con- sideration-think of 1t, for money!- villainOus screeds in the Kansas City Star attacking the President and the government. These Roosevelt con tributiOns are reproduced in numer- ous important newspapers. Whatever may be said of the papers reproducing these disloyal utterances, the Kansas City Star is chiefly responsible"
 Citing criticisms of Mir. Roosevelts editorials, MT. Stone continued:
 For example, Roosevelt denounces the President and the government in terms that would subject almost any other citizen to arrest yet his utterances, which I say would be denounced as reasonable if made by others, are widely published with out even official protest.
 q have quoted these utterances of Roosevelt, first, to show that his yaunt- ed claim, self-advertised, of a superior brand of patriotism, is empty, and sec ondly. to inquire why Roosevelt may say things with impunity which citi- zen of lesser consequence dare not even repeat without danger of indict- ment for disloyalty."
 At this point the senator made his reference to Roosevelt as an aid to the kaiser, and then turned to the con- gressional war investigations.
 He did not question the right of congress to make inquiries, but rather their purpose and the publicity given to national difficulties.
 q cannot believe" he said, that worldwide advertisement of alleged .deficiences and our war activities, even if ultimately found true, is necessary to bring about administrative reforms. I doubt the wisdom of wide open in vestigations into almost everything that might be made the subject of criticism of the administration.
 q do not mean that administrative errors should be concealed from our people. Of course mistakes have been made by the government-doubtless many grave mistakes. Tn the circum- stances that was inevitable; but Is 1t

TREAT INSANE LIKE BRUTES
Damascus Authorities Keep Men OF
Deranged Mind in Chains in Full
View of Passers-By.

"Other sights and sounds, by NO
means so agreeable, meet the modern
traveller, and doubtless those who jour
neyed through Damascus in Paul's
time as WELL" writes DR.. Francis E..
Clark, founder Of the Young Peoples
Society Of Christian Endeavor. "Never
have | seen more hideous objects than
the insane men of Damascus. Some
of them, probably those who are par
ticularly violent, are fastened with a
heavy chain to ring in the wall of
some house or public building. There
they sit upon the sidewalk day and
night, covered, if at all, from the bis
tering rays of the sun or the dews Of
evening, by a little awning of burlap,
almost naked, crashing their teeth, or
perhaps with a stupid, dull indiffer-
ence in their eyes, depending upon the
charity of the passers-by."
= 1.-THE last spot we can VISIT" Doctor
Clark says in concluding the chapter,
lis the ancient wall through whose
windows it is said that Saint Paul es-
capped. Here is his brief account of
this adventure: In Damascus, the
governor, under Aretas the king, put
guards about the city Of the Damascus,
thinking to arrest me, and through a
window, in basket, was 1 let down
by the wall and escaped his hands.

ence upon the ancient wall, which very
likely was standing in the apostles
time, and at the window, from which

MARBLE STONES ABOVE PETS
Grieving Owners Erect Costly Monu-

ter of London, England.

It may not be known to everybody
that in London there exists an exceed
tngly pretty cemetery devoted princi-
pally to mans best friend-the faithful
dog. Near the Victoria Gate, Hyde
Park West, stands the gatekeeper's
lodge, attached to which there is a
fair-sized garden, the last resting place
of many a favOrite pet.
Several years ago a favorite dog
C'Poor Little Prince"), which belonged
to the duke of Cambridge, was run
over in the park, brought to the lodge
, and afterward buried in the garden.
A marble stone shows the place where
he lies. After this many who had
heard of the event requested to have
their dogs laid to rest in the same
plot of ground, and thus it came about
that the permission of the duke and
the deputy ranger was obtained to al
low the garden to become a cemetery

A SHORTAGE OF LOCOMOTIVES.

There are several thousand coal laden
cars on the side tracks between New Eng
land and the mines. In the eastern sec
tions Of the country there is congestion
of freight of all kinds On account of
the immense shipments TO Europe most
Of which has TO be brought by rail to
some Atlantic port the railroads have
been unable TO transport the freight as
fast as the cars were loaded This failure
has been due TO various causes, among
which is the lack of locomotives. We
have been building engines for Russia and
for France and have neglected to supply
our own needs. Within the last month
more than 100 locomotives have been
transferred from southern and western
roads TO our eastern divisions. We have
quite a number of engines built for France
which have not been shipped. These
have been taken temporarily for work
here. Those built for Russia have been
taken but the guage must be changed be-
fore they can be used on our roads.
Many of our passenger trains have been
taken off and this will relieve engines for
freight work. With these additions to
our hauling power, under wise and sys-
tematic direction, not many weeks should
elapse before the transportation system
should be vastly improved. Thus far we
have not noticed that Mr.. McAdoo has
been receiving great amount of praise
as director-general of the railroads. 1t
still appears to us that "Old King Coal"
is in supreme command and that DR.. Gar
field was the pussy to whom had been as
signed the task of pulling somebody's hot
chestnuts out of the fire. We hope he
will succeed before the fire goes out.
