Jones in the United States senate, and then rose and drank a “hoch” for him for his filibustering speech of Saturday night, Think of it! That speech will pursue him unto political death. It stamped him as unfit—unworthy the confidence reposed in him by this loyal, patriotic state of Washington. It gave aid and comfort to an enemy at a critical moment in the republic’s history. “Hoch dem Jones!” German sympathizers were quick to interpret his attitude, of course. Now let. him, by way of compensation for his base philippic, get all the aid and comfort he can out of his performance from. hyphenated quarters. The commonwealth itself, unhyphenated, has emphatically made known, thru the legislature, its undiluted and undefiled Americanism. The Spokesman-Review says: “Senator Jones’ conduct is not so reprehensible as that of the twelve senators who went to the last ditch, but he has not exculpated himself by seeking cover at the last minute. . In a critical hour in his country’s history, when the German government defies our just plea for humanity and law, he is found pleading for the kaiser and against the president.” . . Excepting Judas himself, as exemplified in the perfidious spectacle by “Gum Shoe” Bill Stone, recreant chairman of | the committee on foreign relations, Jones’ conduct, the Post- Intelligencer holds, was quite as reprehensible and unforgiv-| able as that of any of. the twelve filibusters who encom- passed the shameful betrayal. He abetted them, holding the floor and killing time and! accompanying the conspirators to the very last ditch. Sign- ing the round’ robin at the eleventh hour did not help the| situation or exculpate him, or palliate his miserable role,| in the very least. A senate made up of men like Wesley, L. Jones, the) Spokane paper adds,, “would be a poor staff for the admin- istration in time of difficulty and peril.” And poor stuff) ag,well.. Down with the tribe! "Hoch,” forsooth and for shame!

He was always up to some trick or other, but I dont’ know as that waa his fault, eapeciaily. “You see.” John waa very much in earnest, and left a couple of cus- tomers waiting. while he leaned across the counter to lend emphasis to this. “He never really had a chance. Not that it was any fault of his parents. They sent him to school and did their ‘best for him. But the poor mother had a large family on her hands—there were 12 or 13 of them—and the father was busy’ making 4 living, and. when Roy ran away from the school room he didn’t get the discipline he ought to have had.
