It was so ordered, but as the ques-
tion OF how the civil war was put
over" remained unanswered. It may be
said that it was forced on the coun-
try by a small number OF supermen,
Of whom probbly as many as five in
every ten were "CaIhounist" South
erners, in going over to whom with
the Presidency as the price, James
Buchanan betrayed and abandoned
the jackson Democrats" who had
honored him. That was "cheapness."
On any fair vote, on the issue.
war might have been voted down
Overwhelmingly North and South, as
often as presented. And all really
authentic historical evidence Is on
the side OF the conclusion that this
would have been the case with no
exception) in every war IN which the
United States have been engaged.
The supermen who put over wars are
always in the minority In history.
In American history, there is no re-
liable evidence to show that they
have ever amounted originally to 10
per cent Of the population. or course,
after war is put over" it is differ
emit In Tennessee or Massachusetts,
in 1852, hundreds of people who were
strongly opposed to war in 1850
might have Joined in mobbing any
one who insisted on peace In 1852.
But that Is q different question The
question Of how wars have been put
over from b c. 1917 in Babylon to
1917 A D., Is answered by evidence
that supermen and supermen alone
have the Know How. One per cent
Of the total population OF any coun-
try, organizing a war, has always
been suffieient in history to account
for it. That was enough when the
present inferno started with the sugar
grab in Hawaii

The question before the Senate yes

the American history Of the nine
teenth century, as continued to date.
It was the question of how the civil
war was put over on the American
people
The Washington times., 1918-06-18


This Is not Senatorial language.
The parliamentary question before the
Senate, fought out chiefly between
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts, and
Senator Knox Of Pennsylvania, both
Republicans, was OF whether a statue
Of James Buchanan, fifteenth Presi-
dent Of the United States. should be
erected in Meridian Hill Park, Wash
ington. free of cost to the city and
the United States. The result-of the
great argument was the passage OF
the buchanan statue bill' by a vote
Of 81 to IL.
1t may be said without fiattery that
Senator Lodge made a great historical
and literary Grafton, not calculated
to bring a blush to the cheek OF any
native-born inhabitant Of Boston or
Of Massachusetts,. In fact, it may be
said that making great historical and
literary addresses not calculated to
bring a blush to the cheek of any
worthy native OF New England is a
speciality in which Senator Lodge is
probably unequaled and certainly I'M
excelled. He left the bushes yes
terday to Pennsylvania and "the
States lately in rebellion"
He brought q formidable array Of
authorities, extending from those Of
the civil war period, back to Dante on
the political nature OF hell, to demon
strate that whether Buchanan could
be held responsible or not for what
might have been inevitable, he
was responsible for permitting It
to come in the way 1t came when It
did come. 1t was on this account that
Senator Lodge consigned him to
Dante'Shell as one who has made all
gran refiuto"-that is, the great ire
nUnciation" Of his duty and his re-
sponsibility which Dante supposes is
made only per viltate." That is sup
posed by some to mean "Vulgarity"
and by others "cheapness." But clear
ly neither OF those definitions would
apply for the United States Senate.

It was strictly for q war emergency

tails OF the sundry civil sppropria-

nearly all respects q war bill OF

all but S155, 800 900 is for the same
fund. Deducting the total transferred
TO the Notifications bill. the grand
total OF the bill for this year and
next is minus 5000 .OOO. 900 In round
numbers.
Added to the military bill on which
the Senate Committee on Military Az
fairs worked yesterday in the hope
Of getting It before the Senate by
Thursday, the grand total for the
two bills will be very close to ST.
OOO, 900, 0O0-with the Qualifications
bill still before the Appropriations
Committed There will certainly be
billions enough in this latter bill to
give occasion for the solemn pride
the President has observed in the
patriotic taxpayer.
The Senate discussed the deadlock
in conference on the Gore $3.50 a
busheI amendment to encourage the
production Of wheat this year. The
deadlock is likely to continue to the
end Of the year to which the amend
ment applies-that Is July 1. The
House holds out for Presidential
prices against Gore prices.

gress from California, told the SEN

ing 81 ,25O 900 for such expenses of
every character as the President in
his discretion may deem necessary for

The American people are ready TO

Plies may be sent abroad to help win

that as result Of the American food
conservation campaign he had 50,O00,-
o00 pounds of bacon and 25.o00, 900
pounds of frozen meat to be sent over in
excess Of what the British representa-
tircS here had thought available. and
that later it developed that the amount

that we have a competent leader work

problem we should all cheerfulIv resolve
to do more than-we have been doing to
