Mr.. Hays announcement that Pref
dent Wilson had signed the Railroad bill
was aprlaudcd.
Speaking Of the income tax, Mr.. Hays
said il Is fine on men living outside the
Cotton Belt.
He remarked that il had been suggested
Wilson's name would go down in history
linked with Washington and it WAS wise
boy who picked out the ship that carried
Wilson tn France and back.
IL didn't know cambridge Colby was
| diplomat" Mr.. Hays also remarked OF tho
new Secretary Of State, adding "but then
the President didn't want diplomat. He
wanted n doormat."
MIR. HAYS said he had no tolerance of
divided loyalty in this country. Any man
loyal TO the red, black or other flag in dis
loyal TO the Stars and Stripes.
Find disloyalty il there he disloyalty
and scotch it; find dishonesty If there he
dishonesty and crush il; find the right and
clcave unto it, he said. Keep your eyes
raised, Americans, but keep your feet on
sol d ground. Find the reason for dis-
content, and meet 1t squarely; correct the
cause where there is n cause, and merciless-
ly destroy the excuse where it IL nm ex-
cuse only. Find exact justice and demand
it-dcmand IL for all men and require IT
from NIL men. Remember the stuff you are
made Of, Americans. Remember the
heritage which is yours. Rcmember--and
be encouraged. The manhood and woman
hood OF America il sound. The stress of
late days has strained all overmuch. Be
patient with one another, but m you value
your country's future, wait not a moment
to realize the emergency nor longer delay
your action. Each one is equally respons-
ible. Stop and look within. Look, each
one, 10 your own industry and thrift. Look
to your own conscience and moral re-
sponsibility in the whirl of the storm about
you, seize upon common sense and good
conscience. Holding fast, then lift your
selves from the maestrom of unrest and
regain for yourselves your own sound
iudgment-snd then reach for others rs
they are hurled by. Yes, forget not the
others who are about YOU. II is as danger

we all go down together. The great power
which is the spirit of America must not
tolerate any attempt TO array group
against group, section against section, or
sect against sect. Guard against this as
you would against pestilence, the ma
tion has no greater enemy than one who
would thus divide the country against
itself. While you are in turmoil our late
enemies are marshalling with dispatch all
OF their industrial resources, let not our
great accomplishments in war be msrred
by our inability TO order our own affairs.
Mere agitation and mere motion are not
progress. The vicious circle is not the
shortest distance between honest effort
and highest reward. Remember that one
man is only better than another when he
does better. Give every well-hehaved man
and woman their equality of opportunity
and require from them their full measure of
