WhiteWashing Of La F'oIIcttc.
1IStamfOrd AdVOCate.D

The amazingly futile and feeble
history of the senates dealings with
the La Toilette case from first to last
is fifty climaxed by vote Of that
body practically declaring the poIiti-
CallN vicious old man free from
blame. But not without splendid
protest did this go on the record, and
who should be that protestant but a
democratic senator from the most
typicallY southern of states, Villa M
of Mississippi. He said-and he cnl-
phasized his points by shaking his
finger right under the La FoIletto
nose: Il find in that speeCh-thc pub
lie address from which the senate in
a moment Of Dutch courage placed
under the investigation Of a special
committee find in that speech a
charge that the United States went to
war to protect the Morgan interests
Of some sort Or other; that we Went
to war and sacrificed our children
that rich Americans might ride in
munitioned and armed ships. It is an
everlasting lie. 1t is a lie that tha
LuSitania was armed or had danger
GUS explosives aboard and that any
law of the United States was ever
violated by any American citizen who
took passage on the Lustania And
] have seen ignorant boys arrested
and tried and condemned, some few
of them to death, for doing things and
saying things that amounted to less
that this st. Paul speech of the Wis
COnSi1 senator. 7 have no personal
animosity to him, and he knows it.
but I have no glad hand of welcome to
extend to any enemy Of my country

or at any rate nothing to punish. in

treason, by one of its own mem hers

She Used a HatT1jn.
{ Sprin gfeld TniOn.D

TO the Editor of the Union--SiT: [
can relate an experience similar to
that of Y. Y. 4. A Boston friend was
visiting me last summer, and | took
her to one of the leading motion pic
ture houses After we had been
seated, a man sitting next to my friend
began as it is termed, getting fresh"
My friend kept quiet few moments,
and then said to me in {; low tone, IF
this man doesn't stop I'll stop him"
The next thing I knew there was "a
Shuffling sound and q loud excIama-
tom from the man. GLOW do you
like that?' | heard my friend say.
Then she told me that she had
jabbed hiR with her hatpin. He
moved Immediately, where we did not
know, but back toward the exit.
If every woman would or could use
this method to defend herself it
might help a good deal On this paE-
ticular occasion, at least, it proved
highly successful. l also think that
the managers of motion picture houses
should see to it that more protection
is afforded their women patrons.

BERGER NOT WANTED.

& Congressman Cfillett, Republican,
i Massac husetts, speaks for the public
Conscience when he asks that the
rst act of the new House of Repre-
sentatives be a refusal to seat Con-
FRESHMAN Berger, socialist. of Mil
Aaukee, who has been convicted of
fiolating the espionage act.
Should Congressman Berger be per-
R,itted to sit as representative Of his
district it will be to the everlasting
lhame of our federal legislative ma
|hinery. Congressman Berger is
Iafnted. by the worst faint any man
IAN have. His Americanism is ques-
6oned and ground has been estab-
ished for that doubt. He has been
sonvfcted of impeding the progress
,f the United States in war, of trying
IA choke down the holy spirit that
lent us into that war, and he should
hot be allowed to participate IN any
If our national institutions.
The country owes debt to Con-
FRESHMAN C1illett for what must De

the executive Office because Of the
liberal expenditure they have become
accustomed to.
1t is natural and right to tako
much satisfaction in the modest cir
cumstances of our presidents. 1t
proves American democracy. 1t de-
nonstrates, better than any other fact
could, the opportunity existing Tor
every American boy to rise to any
position he is fitted for. But IT does
not necessarily follow that, having
chosen poor men for presidents we
should condemn them to continued
poverty.
Poverty may be respectable; but as
Grover Cleveland found, it is difficult
and embarrassing when one has h@Tt
so great an office and is expected TO
maintain Il position Of comparative
dignity and ease. one Of these times
the nation will rise up and insist that
our presidents he given a liberal pen
sion on retirement, as most presidents
or premiers arc in other countries.

\ "Rich' President.
{ Meriden RecOrd.)

With considerable surprise the pub
lie hears that Theodore Roosevelt was
probably the richest president since
George Washington. He was certainly
not very rich judged by present-daY
Standards He left an estate of about
100000. There are many thousands
Of Americans worth more than that.
The fact is that nearly all our presi-
dents have been poor. The financial
difficulties of Mckinley are well re-
mem hered. Taft has never ranked
better than moderately well-to-do.
Wilson is in the same class. RoOse-
Welt might have been no better off
than any of these, despite his earnings
from his writings, if ii had not been
for his inheritance. He has done little
more than pass on the property re-
ceived from his father. Presidents are
seldom able to save much from their
sa laries, and doubtless find it all the
harder to get along after they leave

BRITISH RAILWAYS
TO BE NATIONALIZED
Winston Churchill Explains Reasons
Why Naturalization Is
Fundamental.
Fundamental.

London, Dec. II Correspondence
Of The Associated Press. )-Winsto OH
| Churchill, minister of munitions. who
| announced the government policy of
Matchmaking British railways, ex-
planned to the Dundee chamber Of
commerce the reasons for the pro-
posed step.
Owing to the enormous debt with
which the country has been burdened
by the war, he said relief measures
on a big scale were required
THE three great parent factors of
a country's welfare" he continued,
ARE land, communica tons and pow
er, and the three children food, 1ous-
ing and manufacture. SO long AS the
railways are in private hands they
may be used for immediate profit. In
the hands of the state, however, it
might be wise or oXpedent to run
them at a loss if they develop indus
try place the trader in closer contact
with his market, and stimulate devel-
opment
You cannot organize the great
questions of land settlement, new in
dustries, and the extension of produc-
ton, unless the state has control of
the means Of transportation"
"A mass of information about TIE
railways is always available, he said,
and a large part of the task of ma
tonalization has automatically &C
cOmpIished itself.
81 think it highly prohablc," he
went on. that action on this vital
matter can be delayed until royal
commission has wandered about"
Explaining to the press a bill which
the Railway Standardization society
has prepared, Emil Davies, the chain
man, said it provides for the acquisi-
ton of all railway stocks and shares
at their mean market price during the
~ months ending six months prior to
the Introduction of the bill in parla&
ment, the purchase price to be paid
in five per cent. government stock TO

cept themselves. 1t was the general
impression that the bill would be ap-
proved eventually and it was realized
that the bitter reproaches heaped
upon the head of the. administration
were part Of cleverly rehearsed play

pose, the EN- barras sment of the Pres

It is singular that by slip of the
tongue, Senator Harding of Ohio,
who may be his party's candidate for
president in 1920, gave unreserved
