Henry Watterson knows his South. No abler pen was ever brought to the nobler mind ever realized better the perils that come after war stalks through the land. ‘Marse” : Henry knows the sorrow and desolation that presided in the Southland after the war between the states. He has a broad understanding of the underly- ing principles that brought on that catastrophe. Personal conduct with actualities have made him familiar with motives that prompt. men to strike in affairs of state. Through the mighty pen of Colonel Watter- son there is drawn a warning to those good and gentle souls of Ger- many who are sacrificing all much in the same fashion as ‘Marse” Henry’s people of the South threw away life and treasure. “They are a brave, home-loving race,” writes the brilliant Kentuckian, having in mind the people of the Fatherland. “Dynastic interest and their devotion to the State have lured them into war for a phantom. Be- trayed, deceived, and beaten, they will find themselves as we poor peo- ple of the South found ourselves after the war of secession. We, too, had been lured into war upon a phantom.” If there was a sword in Hurope as mighty as this pen in Kentucky no phantom would ever have lured it from its scabbard. The picture of the South drawn by Colonel. Watterson’s pen is framed in fifty years of reverie and contemplation. The picture in the making by the Imperialistic swashbucklers of Europe will not be completed for fifty years to come. Looking back then on the terrible blotches that mar the _landscape the men who stand as Henry Watterson does today will see the phantom they chased. There is not much difference between the Germany in this war and the South in the war of '61. Both will go down in history as chasers of phantoms. Even as the men of the South have taken fifty years to ac- cept this view, so will the men of Germany take half a century to reach the same viewpoint. And by that time autocracy might have given place to HOUSE CLEANING NEEDED. if all the puny, petty aggregations the face of this broad globe it be- 3 to appear as if New Britain has prize in its police force.

President Wilson is now called upon to consider a bill which has passed both houses of Congress by almost unanimous votes. This measure pro- vides that “any person who knowing- ly and wilfully deposits ar causes to be deposited for conveyance in; the mail or for delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any let- ter, paper, writing, print, missive or document containing any threat to take the life of or to infliet bodily harm upon the President of the United States, or who knowingly or wilfully makes any such threat against the President, shall upon conviction be| fined not excceding $1,000 or im- prisonment not exceeding five years, or both.” President Wilson, not for his own e a shake-up.in the safety board.

There is every reason why such a law should be placed on the statute baoks of the United States. There are numerous instances in the history of the coun- try which show the wisdom of this bil], The members of the Secret Service fully realize the import of safeguard- ing the life of the Chief Executive at every turn., There is not another nation in the world like the United States. There is not another countr: so free, so above board, as America. Cohsequently, the President is looked upon as a common, everyday man, who should hear and listen to the multifarious plaints of the populace. Ang, if certain members of the various groups in the nation do not think.the President has acted according to the way.they would have him go they do not hesitate a moment to express their opinion, sometimes telling how he should be sent t{o another world. The complete and ready letter writers, always possessars of noms des plumes, are also on hand. It is time these conditions were changed.

BRYAN DENOUNCED AS NATION'S MENACE Gardner Uses Teeth and Nails on Patilists Washington, Feb. 16.—A. severe ar- raignment of William Jennings Bryan and his pacifist followers by Represen- tatlve Augustus P. Gardner, republi- can, of Massachusetts, was a feature of the proceedings of the house yester- day. Mr. Gardner replied to a speech by Representative J. Hampton Moore, republican, of Pennsylvania, who had criticised the Massachusetts represen- tative for entertaining alleged pro-ally sentiments. Incidentally Mr. Gardner spoke in bitter condemnation of Prus- slan war tactics. Declaring that Germany was the only belligerent power prepared for the present war Mr. Gardner reviewed the list of acts of “frightfulness” be- b“i‘lning with the violation of Belgian soil. “All these things we know, whether our news is drawn from pro-ally news- papers like the New York Herald and the New York Sun or from pro-Ger- man newspapers like Evening Mail. We know that in Felivnagy, 1915 President Wilson warned Germany that we should hold that nation to ‘strict accountability if in her sub- marine warfare she destroyed Ameri- can lives or American ships. “We know that in May, 1915, a Ger- man submarine torpedoed the Lusitan- ia, and that more than one hundred American lives were destroved, and that subsequently Germany continued to torpedo merchantmen without warning."” Would Arm Ships. Gardner traced step by step the course Germany had pursued up to the severing of diplomatic relations and continued: “L for one believe it is the duty of our government to see that our mer- chantmen-are armed to defend them- selves or are convoyed through the danger zone. Meanwhile, Willlam Jennings Bryan proposes that we should pre- pare ourselves to present a united front to the enemy hy first tearing the nation asunder in a political cam- paign on the questicn of peace or war. He and his follo , the paci- fists, the extreme socialists and those who place loyalty to Germany above loyalty to America, are engaged' in appealing to the cowardice which lurks in every man’s breast, a cowardice which is the result of the strongest of human instincts, that of self-preservation. “This cowardice may be glorified by calling it ‘good will toward men’ and timidity they have rechristened ‘service to humanity.” They are try- | ing to goad the people Into a cam- | paign in which class will be arrayed {uzainst class and race against race. Perchance foreign gold may be spent. Then when the nation is successfully split into two halves animated by hatred of the foreign foes, when our courage is at the lowest ebb, when our” righteous indignation has been sufficiently aspersed, then we are ready to vote upon the question of peace or war. REPUBLICANS GIVE WORK T0 CONTINGE Germans Will Not Require With- drawal‘ of Yolunteers London, Feb. 16.—Representatives of the American Commission for Re- lief in Belgium will not withdraw from the occupied portions of Bel- g8ium and Northern France, as pro- viously had been arranged, but will remain for the present, it is now stated. The commission has received a dis- patch from its office in Rotterdam stating that at a meeting held in Brussels the German authorities an- nounced that all representatives of the commission might remain in Bel- gium and Northern France on the same footing as heretofore. Present at this meeting were Baron Von der Lancken, civil governor of Brussels; the America nand Spanish ministers, representatives of the Belgian Relief commission and of the Belgian Na- tlonal committee. A Reuter dispatch from The Hague says the German legation there states that an.official note was addressed on Feb. 10 to the diplomatic controller of nutrition work, permitting Ameri- cans to continue relief work in Bel- gium and Northern Fance. Fur- thermore, to the American minister at Brussels the: opporfunity was ac- corded of participating in the central management of the nutrition work. The German authorities further de- clare that in the future, as in the past, they would be willing to accede to every demand of the Commission for Relief in Belgium.

Washington, Feb. 16.—Chairman Willcox of the Republican Natlonal committee was in Washington yester- day and called at the White House.

By every means in his power he should down this campaign of Willlam Jennings Bryan, who is whispering to the rank and file that death awaits them at every turn, that the cause for which they are en- listed is unjust, that peace and plenty are pleasant things, while the snows of Valley Forge are bitter cold and the rapid fire of machine guns is dangerous. “Doubtless the Bryans of those days were whispering trembling words to the Minute Men of Lexington. They were crying ‘mediate’ and ‘arbitrate,’ but the patriots fought on instead of parleying, and we gained our liber- ties. The pacifists and copperheads of the Civil war declared for arbi- tration, and that the question of slavery should be left for future ad- justment. “But Abraham Lincoln said ‘No.” We have put our hand to the plough and will not turn back. We did not arbitrate and we did not mediate. We tought the Civil war to a glorious conclusion. Who is there today, North or South, who does rot rejoice that we turned a deaf ear to the pacifists of 1861 May the God of our fathers ever protect our flax and defend it, and may it never go down in defeat.” Replylng, Mr. Moore implied that the demand for war was inspired by London and fostered by pro-Ally newspapers. He announced his in- tention of introducing a resolution whether newspapers are subsidized. even Why the Hired Man Left. (LaPorte, Ind., Herald.) “How can I keep my farm-hand on the farm?” a LaPorte county farmer asked the other day. And this conversation, in substance followed: “What are you doing to kick him off the farm?” “Nothing; he just was the reply. A little deeper questioning, ever, brought out the following: He was treated as one much neath his employer. He swas given the poorest room in +he house, with the oldest furniture and carpets, no springs on his bed— probably because he would rest too easy. He was expected to get up at four in the morning, take care of four or fve horses, feed thirty or forty hogs, milk trom four to, eight cows, carry the milk to the house and run the cream separator for 10 or 15 min- utes.

Reynolds of the republican national committee and :alled upon several republican senators, representing both the pro- gressive and conservative factions. They included Senators Penrose, Weeks, Harding and Smoot on ~ the conservative side and Senators Borah, Norris and Kenyon of the progres- sives. While Mr. Willcox said that visit, here had nothing to do with politics, it is understood that he talked with some senators regarding the situation in congress. Presideni Wilson is known to view with con- cern the filibustering tactics which have been resorted to by Minority Leader Mann and a few other repub- licans recently because of the situa- tion which he feels congress may have to face at any minute. It was reported that Mr. Willcox, after see- ing the president, had discussed this with some of the republican leaders, and had expressed it as his opinion that it would not he for the good of the republican party at this time to scem to resort to any partisan tactics which would have the effect of de- laying needed legislation. ‘Asked about the reported plan for enlarging the work of the national committee, Chairman Willcox said he did not contemplate taking up that matter on his présent visit. “I have some Iideas,” he said, “shich I will lay before my colleagues in the party soon. I want their ad- Vice and co-operation, but that will come later. The country is not in a mood to talk politics now, and there can be no partisan activities.” 00D ADVICE 1S HIS SOLE HERITAGE his queathed Valuable Maxims i New York, Feb. 16.—George H.

One time she reported to Mr. Hu- ber that she saw Georgie smoking, and this brought forth a strong letter of disapproval from the testator to Thomson’s mother. “I often sat with Mr. Huber in his office at night,” said Thomson, “and T used to play poker with him. Then he would say: ‘“George, the Hubers are dying out. Those that are here are girls, and the rest of them do not = amount to much.” Three or four times he said to me: ‘You are a Hu- ber at heart., I never was able to reafize what he meant, but I had a, faint suspicion.” There has been testimony indicat- ing that Thomson was Mr. Huber's natural son. Albert J. Ean, who was secretary to Mr. Huber and managed his affairs, placed the value of the estate at about $300,000 in real estate and about $50,- 000 in securitits. Ean said he talked with: Mr. Huber up to within a day before his death last June and be- lived he was rational at the time.
