ing against the tyranny of an English
King, Lord Catham, the elder Pitt,
spoke in the House of Lords and the
eloquence of Edmund Burke rang in
the House of Commons, against the
war on the American Colonies.
In the long, long, wars prosecuted
by Pitt, the younger, as prime min
lister of England, against Napoleon
hundreds of speeches were made in
parliament for cessation of hostiIities.
Such is the liberty OF English
statesmen. So it was during their
Boer war, within the memory of many
of US. So it was until the fateful day
that war was declared on Germany in
1914; when cabinet officers imm date
ly resigned and new cabinet was
formed, yet no man was discredited
Tor resigning.
1t must be said as splendid trib-
ute to the intelligence of the English
people that, as liberty loving ma
ton, no statesman has ever there
after been rebuked by them for such
freedom of speech and action.
Benjamin Harvey Hill and Alexand-
er II. Stephens, of Georgia; Trusten
Polk, OF Missouri; Wade Hampton,
of South Carolina; John Minor Bolts,
and A. H. H. Stuart, of Virginia and
many other Southern men pleaded
with their people in opposition to our
terrible Civil War until the hopeless
hour OF fratricidal combat. These are
proud names in Southern history.
So Il was then in the North that
many splendid men stemmed until the
last the swelling tide for war.
Never. after the smoke Of battle
cleared away, was any such man re-
buked by his people.
1t is essential to the life of all free
people that their statesmen be permit
ted to oppose until the last hour any
declaration of war without any fear
of punishment thereafter for such OPP
position.
This is the proud boast of England
and America, while other hapless ma

inquiry. Fullerton is. hughouse on
the subject of a lost mine-not; an un-
usual disease In any mining country
and he has gone to hunt for 1t. He
has a sketch map Of the location, but
nothing to tie it to. l didn't ask him

might be heading for P%lacerv:lle.

AS you'd imagine, this was enough
for ne. The next morning l was back
