you VIII flnd yourself invoiuntarily say
ing: Give us In this supreme hour, In
this supreme crisis. give us again men
with the faith--faith In the justice, the
durability, the success and the perma-
nency Of our institutions; faith that the
American principle and the American
system Is the true solution Of the lib
erty Of the human race; faith that right,
and right alone makes might, and that
upon that principle, and that principle
alone, we dare to build for the future
ut Is not too late to arrest the trend
Of events and to turn back the tide
which Is carrying us we know not
whittier. 1t is not too late to reestab-
llsh here constitutional and regulated
liberty. to maintain a system Of law and
obedience to law and to preserve our
sovereignty and our Independence un-
impaired.
There IL Just one remedy for this entire
situation both as to lawnessness above
and to the lawlessness below, and that
is the complete renaissance of true
Americanism and vigorous, manly, un-
compromising national sentiment. re-
baptism of the old time national spirit.
We must resort to the fountain which
has fed us heretofore. We must accept
faith which has guided us in the past In
order to find our way out of the deluge OF
contradiction, and with all respect to
others, Americanism.
1--WE have hitherto enjoyed riches be-
yond compare. We have felt the up
lifting influence of noble institutions. We
have been fortunate in being widely sep
arated from foreign Powers, that thing
which has driven us forward, which has
impelled us on and on, which has en-
abled us to overcome obstacles falling
athwart the pathway Of our people, has
been the faith in our institutions, In the
destiny of our people and in the fact
that Americanism was the only solution
for the true happiness of the human
family"

Judge Gary's Speech Cited.
"A few nights ago Judge Gary in q
speech stated that the policies and prin-
ciples OF Washington and Jefferson were
out of fashion and no longer to guide
the American Government.
What is there left to the American
Republic In its vital and essential prln-
ciples IL the principles of Washington
and Jefferson are out OF fashion, II
the statement of Judge Gary had been
written on the outside Of a red pamphlet
by some man in the ordinary walks of
life he would have been challenged for
sending out disloyd literature.
ut may not be out of place to men,
ton that one month from the time Mr..
Gary announced that the policies of
Washington and Jefferson were out of
fashion. Mr.. Foster with his red PAM
phlet In his hand appeared at the door
Of Mr.. Gary's industries, knocked. rude
and long, and advised Mr.. Gary that he
accepted his proposition that the policies
of Washington and Jefferson were out
OF fashion, and that the Soviet govern
ment had appeared to take their place.
You cannot break down a part of the
American system and expect to hold
unassailed the other portion. The
foreign policies Of Washington and JEFF
ferson were an indispensable part of
their scheme OF government.
The League to Enforce Peace has
been circularizing the country for nine
months. It has sent out thousands of
dollars worth OF literature, and It has
been my opportunity to examine a vast
amount Of It. I challenge any one to
point to a single patriotic paragraph,
to single PARAGRAPH truly and deeply
American. or to a single appeal for
American institutions or American sys-
tenn of government Their literature,
while far more subtle. is Just as dan
gerous to American nationalism as the
literature which has been condemned
upon the floor OF the Senate.
Quotes Jeer by DR.. Lowell.
"A few months ago DR.. Lowell and
Senator Lodge debated the question Of
the League Of Nations and I quote a
single paragraph to show how the ad-
vocateS Of this league never permit an
occasion to pass without throwing some
jeer or jibe at that which has been re-
garded by the American people as sacred
heretofore.
"Dr. Lowell says: One never gets
very far In this argument without hear
ing from washington's farewell ad-
dress. Now. don't laugh at the farewell
address That farewell address, was
famous document In its day and he
adds, with Characteristic brevity. 80

Performance limitations have naturally
grouped cars into classes Certain cars may

They know no frontiers of distance. They
are dependable and require practically no

ness that the so-called direct tax Is ho1

cned thought on the subject Of taxation
=. falls heaviest upon the people Oh In"o-
.,a.e mems. It is a burden upon INDUS
try and upon commerce. On the o'ne'
hand he argues with force. that SPECIAL
,r,vi,eres enjoyed by certain interests
and particularly those that are engaged
N what ia termed destructive industries
sshor,d return a compensation in revenue
ssto the state, and until these sources Oh
f,.venne are exhausted. the direct tax
ought not to be used. So FAR as the spe-
c,a1 interests Of West Virginia are con-
eerned. instead Of being exhausted as
.ources Of taxation. they have scarcely
he-n touched. The greatest OF those as
The Inteiligencer has heretofore pointed
oft; is the natural gas industry. This
Is a special privilege industry; it is a
rnonopolistic industry. and is depicting
a great natural wealth in West Virginia
for the benefit Of citizens Of other states
From, this Industry alone the legislature
OF West Virginia can draw all the reve-
nue. that Ia needed at the present time
and In fact a great deal more revenue
than has been contemplated.
REGARDLESS OF the acts Of the legisla-
ture At this session. it Is same to say
that the proposed natural gas taxation
wilt not down. If the present lcgisla-
tu,e should fail to impose tax on nat
ural gas production and transportation.
we may be sure that the men represent
ing that legislature will har" An &C.
counting to make with their constru-
.,ts and we may also be sure that the
question will come up IN an acute 10TH
before the next legislature. A just and
fair measure unnecessarily delayed by
selfish obstruction becomes stronger
and the demand for gas taxation WHICH
might be satisfied with reasonable bill
in 1919 may not be 80 easily satisfied in
1921.
