VOL. XXX; BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, utler Weekly 1908. EMBER 54TH CONGRESS U. S. Senator Stone Replies to His Critics. Jefferson City, Mo., June 13, 1908, Quite recently some enterprising geatleman at Jefferson City has had printed many thousand coples of what purports to be a copy of a bill introduced by me in the 59th Con- gress for the relief of Thomas J. Akins, sub-treagurer at St. Louls, and these have been extensively cir- culated throughout the State, This has been done with the notlon that {s would {n some way I{njure me. Concerning this matter, there is noth- ing I need desire to conceal, The facte are as follows: Senator Warner requested me, as & matter of favor, to present the bill for him. He prepared {t, and !t was hia bill, He stated that he had been engaged to ald in the defense of young Dyer, who had been indicted forembezzling the $61,500 purloined from the sub-treasury, of which he was a subordinate offictal, and the Senator said that as there would probably be conflicts in the course of that trial between Dyer and Akins, he would regard it as a favor ff I would presnt-the bill for-him.—Thiel did as a matter of ordinary courtesy, without assuming responsibility for {t. While the bill on its face was for the relief of Mr. Akine, {te firet and most important effect would be to cuuse & congressional investigation {nto the facts connected with the sub-treasury lose, and to have the facts authoritatively reported. The bill was in the form such measures usually take. Akins claimed, as I was informed, that he was not per- eonally guilty of any neglect or offi- clal fault; that he was guiltless of any wrong-doing, elther of commie- slon-or-omlesion,and that while he might be techufeally liable in a court proceeding, he ought not, !n equity and good conectence, to be held per- sonally responsible for the lose, and upon this he asked a chance to be heard.& The only way possible for him to have @ hearin, on his claim was through Congress, and he pray- ed for an opportunity to present the facts through proper committees to the Congress for consideration. Per- sonally, 1 think every man who claime 4 right to be heard on a mat- ter vital to him should at least be given a fair and impartial hearing. That is the universal American rule offair play. What Missourlan would wish either of his Senators to stand in the way and deny, one of his con- stituents on narrow partisan grounds the right to be heard in support of his claim when he asked is? There may be Missourlans who look at things in that way, but, happily or unhappily, 1 am not so constituted, and Iam accounted a pretty good partisan, too. What would you think of me if I were Governor, or& member of the State Legislature, and a man, who had been a public offi- cial, should come to me and gay, “I have suffered a loss without fault of mine, and I want to lay my case be- fore you,” and I should, ina partisan spirit and for partisan reasons, de- cline to give him a hearing? I think no man will impeach my devotion to party or my consistent advocacy of party organization and discipline, but I have never been so partisan as to deny a man 4 hearing and then af- terwards pass upon the merite of his claim. So far as party service and devotion go, perhaps !t might be well for those who raise this question to look to their own records. I stand on the broad proposition that every man has 4 right to be heard, when he asks {t, before the constituted au- thorify of bis State or county. More- over, in matters of this kind, she hearing would make it néceseary for the proper committees, if they prop- erly discharged their duties, to ex- amine into and report the facts, and the public in euch cases is as much interested in knowing the facts and in doing justice according to the facts as the claimant himeelf. After I introduced the bill in the The Akins Bill. mittee ie made up of both Republ duty of such committees, in suc facte and merite of the claim an tion to support the bill because IZA.

Nebraska has furnished to our National Congress some of the brightest minds that have ever adorned that great national legislature.
