this vital hour.
The thing that stirs me to the very
depths is the fact that under these
circumstances these gentlemen propose
not only to hold but to take over uddi-
tionnl facilities and utilities for the
express purpose OF fastening upon the
country the policy OF government owner
ship and establishing a system. Of state
socialism, which IL followed to its Iogi-
cal conclusion will pull down the pillars
or the Republic and bury us all in its
melancholy ruins,
II should be glad II the Senate in
this hour Of rehabilitation and recon-
struction would reassert itself to the
extent of passing some sort Of resolu-
ton voicing Its opposition to this action
on the part OF the President Of the
United States"

Mr.. Creels denial that his services
abroad would be those OF n news censor

the comment that It reminded him of
the Spanish proverb Never lock a re-
formed drunkard IN a wine cellar" He
continued:

that in his early days he was given TO
somewhat sophomoric excuses: that
sometimes his language was too lurid
that he spoke sometimes in terms of red

As the representative OF theradcal-
SIN Senator Sherman has repeatedly
assailed George Creel. To-day he re-
newed the assault on the whole army
Of radical thinkers. whom he alleged TO
be in the ascendancy, saying:
There Is in this country the radical
element. There is the Bolshevist
abroad in the land. The red flag is
carried at the head o. procession in
New York city. II has not been carried
in Chicago. but no one knows the d ny

RadicaIism n Growing Danger.
THE tendency of the age and the
tendency of the times Is to destroy the
sovereignty Of the states" Senator
Sherman went on. THE radical does
not believe in State line anywhere
He believes in an autocracy. His ideal
government is in Russia to-day. Every
great metropolitan city In this country
is a breeding ground to spawn radicals
upon the lawabidlng citizens OF the
country
"All of the radicals that are not In

tration. You are not proud Of the com

the talking for you. II does not hurt
me any and it might hurt you But
