THE NEwBERRy CASE

Never earth's philosopher traced
with golden pen, on the deathlcss
page, truth more sage than the poet
gave TO men i'm the words: "Man's in
humanity TO man makes countless
thousands mourn
In the dawn Of history when the
purple tinge of the rising sun began
to hover over civilization mans in
humanity began, as we read in the
story of the assassination of Abel,
and by his own brother, because Abel
was the better and more Cody man.
The story Of Joseph and his breth-
rem accentuates the inherent inhu-
manity and brutality Of interiors to
their superiors. For no reason at all,
only for the excuse that he was called
THE just" the contemplate ground
ling voted to ostracize the great and
good man Of ancient Greece.
Gods greatest manifestation of di-
vine interest in mortals came in the
matcrialized spirit of the Man of
Galilee, and He also was crowned
with thorns, made to bear the cross,
and suffer all of the ills to which
flesh is heir and which is brought
about by mans inhumanity to man.
Bitter, fiendsh, malignant pcrsccu-
ton from one sclf-important indi-
vidual marked the base of the per-
sistent persecution of Senator Will
lam Lorimer, until he was driven
from public life.
Instances there are which would
fill volumes. The most recent is the
persistent purpose to destroy Truman
Ii. Newbcrry, man TO whom the en-
tire nation owes a debt Of gratitude,
debt which ought to call forth hon.
age rather than persecution.
When it was determined in the
brain Of one man that this country
should enter upon foreign entanglc-
ments and when no one else knew nor
suspected the purpose, it was dis
cerned that scrvile Senate would
be necessary to the fulfillment of the
basic plans for the new dynasty.
First, James X. Vardaman, clean,
honorable, capable, and too manly to
surrender vote Of the sovereign
state Of Mississippi, was driven from
public life.
Next, the republican State Of Mich
igan, must become democratic, at any
cost. Facing a frcc-spcndng million
aire who had been selected by the
supreme director Of the vast plot,
Senator William Alden Smith retired
from public life. The field was free,
and the chosen frcc-spcnding million
aire was coming on without opposi-
tion, when Truman II. Newbcrry came
upon the field and faced this Moloch
of Unrightcousncss. He fought him
to a finish, and defeated him.
Ncwberry's fight, single handed
made the Senate republican. But for
that successful fight, the Senate
would have been democratic in organ
ization, and the League Of Nations
would have been endorsed, making
this great republic profitable pro-
vince for Great Britain, and reducing
the presidency to an equality with the
official standing Of territorial gov
ernor.
Malignity and malevolence have
combined and are persistent in dc
manding that the man who made the
fight which was necessary to save
this country from u policy which has
been condemned by majority of
seven million votes, shall continue to
bear the cross Of persecution, and
that ultimately he shall be crucified;
and this in face of the fact that his
successful struggle in 1913 kept out
of the Senate another scrvile wor-
shipper at a shrine now topplcd over
Senator Newbcrry has served his
country well, and history will give
him an cnviablc niche in the temple
of fame
