Postoffion as second-class matter Year, 09.60; @ months, 91 o per menth up t By carrier, city, Te a month MORE THAN 61,000 COPIES S | OLD DAILY. | Depose Stone and Then Watch Him! “Gum Shoe Bill” Stone is again likely to be at the head of the senate committee on foreign relations. : In the crisis thru which the nation is passing, the chairman- ship of the senate committee on foreign relations is second in im- portance to the presidency. : It is a terrible thing that it should be occupied by a man of the character of “Gum Shoe Bill” Stone. By a technical evasion this friend of the German kaiser saved himself from absolutely being lined up with the 11 other disloyal senators who prevented a vote on the armed neutrality resolution. But as a matter of fact, his responsibility and treachery are greater than that of the others. : For four hours he held the floor of the senate, ostensibly making an argument against the merits of the armed neutrality resolution. : Really his purpose was to prevent the senate from voting on the resolution. During this speech Stone told how the navy department pro- posed to defend American ships. fe This was a secret which had come to him because of his po- sition as chairman of the committee. ; Stone had no other way of getting this information to his friends in Berlin. He would not have dared to cable it direct to the kaiser. That would have been too raw even for “Gum Shoe Bill.” i aoe : So he just let the information drop, as an incident of his speech, to illustrate a point. : j The effect was the same—the kaiser has the information— and “Gum Shoe Bill” can plead a“slip of the tongue.” Stone is unfit to hold a position of any responsibility in the government at this critical time. ‘ y That his fellow senators should permit him to continue to im- peril the nation as chairman of its most important committee; to continue to give aid and comfort to the enemies of his country, is inconceivable. * He should be deposed and even after he is deposed he should _ be watched.
