LAFOLLETTE ON
SENATE FLOOR TO
DEFEND HIMSELF
Nothing Will Ever Turn Him
From Course He Is Tak
ing, He Says
By Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 6.—Chief inter
est in tiie closing hours of Congress'
war session centered to-day in Sen
ate discussion of disloyalty charges
against Senator Robert M. LaFol
lette. The Wisconsin senator deliv
ered a lengthy speech in defense of
his public utterances and in reply to
critics.
The Senate, with its legislative
decks cleared and the end of the
session fixed for three o'clock this af
ternoon met early to-day for what
was generally expected* to be aM'a
matic finish. Senator LaFollette was
given three hours beginning at 10
a. m. in which to address the Senate
with the two hours - remaining be
fore adjournment divided between
senators who wished to reply.
While Senator LaFollette wail de
fending himself, a Senate privileges
and elections subcommittee headed
by Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, was
preparing to investigate the Wis
consin Senator's recent speech before
the Nonpartisan League at St. Paul,
Minn. The inquiry will deal on'y
with the accuracy of the reported
speech and to substantiation of tlie
.Senator's statement of fact therein.
Senator LaFollette has promised to
furnish the committee an authentic
copy of his speech.
Won't Swerve
Characterizing the attacks upon
him as a "general campaign of vllli
fication and attempted intimida
tion," LaFollette defiantly shouted in
the middle of his speech:
"Neither the clamor of the mob
nor the voice of power will <ver turn
me by the breadth of a h&ir from
the course I mark out for myso'.f,
guided by such knowledge as I can
obtain, and controlled and directed
by a solemn conviction of right and
duty."
Senator King, of Utah, Interrupted.
"I want to ask," said ho, "whether
you think the President of the United
States has contravened any of the
constitutional powers confered on
him?"
Senator IjaFollette declined to
yield, merely replying that he was
discussing constitutional powers and
senators would have to make their
own deductions.
Aids the Kaiser
When LaFollette concluded, after I.
speaking more than two hours, thej \
'galleries vigorously applauded but ,
the chair admonished that any dem- ,
onstration would not be permitted. .
Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, who
presented the first resolutions of Min- '
nesota organisations asking LaFol- ,
lette's expulsion because of his St. ]
Faul speech, took the floor to reply. .
"It is unfortunate for the country
and for the Senator from Wisconsin," !
said Senator Robinson, of Arkansas,
replying to Senator LaFollette, "that
he has lent himself and his services. '
to the promotion of ideas and desires
of the Kaiser." ,
Misstated Facta
Senator Kellogg accused LaFollette ,
of misstating facts in the St. Paul
speech and denied that this country
went to war to secure Americans the
right to travel on munition-laden
ships or to protect loans made by
Morgan and Company to foreign gov
ernments.
"I am as jealous of the right of free
speech as any member of this body."
Senator Kellogg said, "but this is a
question of erroneous statement of
facts rather than of free speech."
"I have no right or wish," he con
tinued, "to criticise any man who
voted against this nation going to
war, although I may disagree with
him; but we are at war and I believe
men of this body, men of influence,
should not make statements tending
to aid and encourage the enemy and
to cast dishonor and discredit upon
this nation.
"Imagine the circulation in the
German empire of these statements
reflecting discredit upon our prosecu
tion of the war and sustaining the
Justice of the cause of the German
empire. Could these people be blamed
for believing in a case, however lack
ing in justice and right, if these are
the reasons which led us into this
great conflict and sustain us through
its trying ordeal?
Slnnderoiix Accusation
"Whatever may be said as to the
original cause of the war between
Germany and the allies, this nation
rests upon solid ground, backed by
international law. by the dictates of
humanity and the instincts of self
preservation."
The country, Senator Kellegg de
clared, owes it to the allies and to
history to place its disapproval be
fore the world of the "slanderous ac
cusation" made by Senator LaFolfette
in his St. Paul speech. He denied the
statement attributed to LaFollette (
that President Wilson had been warned |
by Secretary Bryan before the Lusl- j
tanla sailed that six million rounds !
of ammunition, besides explosives,
v/ere on board and that the passen- |
gers were sailing in violation of the ,
statutes of this country.
The Nation's Weakness
Is it not about time for us to come '
to our senses? Can we not now begin
to give the physical trainer his true
rank? It is he who builds the human
foundation. And is not the founda
tion. And is not the foundation of
greater importance than the super
htructure? If the foundation is inse
cure, if it is Improperly built, of what
value is the superstructure?
An architect gives the most careful
consideration to the building of the
foundation of his house. He knows
that if the foundation fails to stand
the test, the house will tumbel in
ruins. It is the same with the human
house. It must be built to "stay."
Weakness in any part means that the
body in its entirety is affected.
The human house must be strong.
It must be built of rugged material.
It must be built of rugged material.
It must be vigoiious in its every part.
And that science that apertains to
the building of this matserptece must
be exalted to Its proper position.
Let the physical trainer stand first.
Accord his knowledge its true value.
Let the physician take the place
where he belongs. He has been
taught to treat the sick. He has been
taught to dignoshe sickness. He
knows absolutely nothing of the art
and science of physical training.
Let us pray that the Government
will now exalt physical training,
that the people may properly under
stand Its principles. We have been
following after false gods long
enough.
Let the race of cripples that we
have evolved as a result of this mis
understanding of the true prlciples of
life be taken in hand by the physical
, trainer. Let us make their boides
whole, complete in every respect. Then
the stimulants (crutches) that they
consider necessary each day of their
lives can be thrown aside.—Bernarr
Macfadden in Physical Culture.'

'A PUBLIC DUTY;
SAYS DR. DIXON
Declares Everyone Should
Take the Utmost Care in
Keeping Himself Fit
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, Stato Com
missioner of Health, has Issued a
call to the people of Pennsylvania
to make themselves fit for the strain
of war upon those who stay at home
and to keep themselves so. Dr. Dixon
calls it a public duty and says:
It would seem as though the gen
eral public ought to be fully inform
ed on most of the horrors of war,
judging by the amount that Is print
ed on this subject. Nevertheless,
there is apparently one phase that
is not generally appreciated. I re
fer to the danger from communicable
diseases acquired during the hard
ships of a soldier's life, especially if
he happens to be taken prisoner and
s thus exposed in confinement with
hundreds of his mates. These dis
eases are carried from place to place
wherever soldiers are transported,
and often, when soldiers are invalid
ed and sent home, among the civil
population. . ija ml.
Already we have felt the lack of
enough physicians to protect the
health of the people at home, and
the health officer is somewhat at a
loss to know how to enforce nis
health measures.
The only solution of the problem
is for the individual to Kl v © , t ' me
and attention to taking care of him
self. He must put himself in a re
ceptive attitude toward the sugges
tions of the sanitary officer, even
though he may thlnx some of the
suggestions so trifling as not to be
worthy of serious consideration.
There is one thing sure, and that is
that he will consider it a serious
matter if the disease warned against
should happen to come his way.
If the writer were to think over
some of the most trifling daily habits
of everyone, and select the very hum
drum subject of complaining about
the habit many men have of draw
ing their trousers over their boots
in undressing, instead of taking their
boots off first, no doubt there would
be readers who would take It as an
instance of giving weight to trifles.
Yet they would be wronp:. I am
sure that one product of this habit
is the common, yet always annoying
and often dangerous boll, besides
other infections that f cannot go into
with the space available In these
talks A moment's thought will con
vince you that there is something
In the theory. During a day's walk
ing vour boots have gone through
miles and miles of filth. When you
slip your clothing off over them, you
are taking the chance of transferring
to vour clothes, and thence to your
bod'v, whatever disease germs your
boots may have picked up in this
''so these "trifles" are not always
trifles. If we ai*e going to do our
dutv in preserving the health of the
| civil population, we must have less
cases of sickness than ever before,
because we have decidedly less doc -
tors at home to take care of what
ever comes up. Later on, when
I wounded soldiers come home witli
I unsuspected communicable diseases,
we must know how to do the best
I thing for them and the best thin*
! for ourselves, so that we may no*
have here, as they have had lr> for
eign countries, widespread epldemi's
among the civil population to be n

efforts.

2WSS HURIEX-. VJNTHROR.
New York, October 6. —With the
filing of an accounting in the es- >
tate of the late Egerton Leigh Win
throp, a lawyer, who died last April,
it develops that his daughter, Mrs.
Caroline Agatha Winthrop Flower,
loses something like $200,000 and her
niece, Muriel, gains corresponding
ly, because Mr. Flower is wealthy.
The estate is valued at $735,617.93.
The fact came out in connection |
with the accounting of the estate
(lied in Surrogates' Court by the tes
tator's executors and sons, Egerton
L. Winthrop, Jr., und Bronson Win
throp.
The accounting shows that only
$74,496.77 has been distributed.
Since the lawyer's death the estate
has grown by $29,418.70. The per
sonal property, stocks, bonds, furni
ture, paintings, etc., approximates
$640,848.41.

One-Half *\fTe<'tril
One-half of the tax on tobacco be
comes effective at once. John JC.
Merman & Company, who do a large
wholesale business with headquar
ters in this city, estimate that they
will be required to pay from $3,00*0
to SIO,OOO at once. After thirty days
the increased tax rate goes into ef
fect. Mr. Herman, in an interview
this morning, stated that on one
Item, a million Camel cigarets, the
immediately effective, is S4OO.
Small dealers must also pay a tax
on the goods in stock. The average
dealer will be taxed from $5 to $25
on the goods now on hand.
Readjustment Soon
Prices will be readjusted as soon
as possible," said Mr. Herman.
"Smokers have been accustomed to
packages costing live and ten cents
for a long time, and a charge which
] Includes extra pennies will not likely
|be welcomed. It is possible that
manufacturers will offer a smaller
package, containing fewer cigarets,
at the old price. Cigars will either
ho smaller in price, of poorer qual
ity, or hghe.r in price.
"Tobacco stocks are not up to the
demands, as it is," continued Mr.

Herman. "We have, for Instance,
one million Camels on hand, with no
more In sight. Tobacco is scarce and
this state of affairs will not help
matters."
This shortage, said Mr. Herman,
may be due In part of the Increased
exports of leaf tobacco. A few days
ago 90 box cars of valley
tobacco left Lancaster for a certain
Beuport.
Not only will the man of the house
feel the pressure of war when he

cause to remember that a war is be

Up Go Movie Tickets
Theater putrons will be taxed one
cent for every ten cents or fraction
of this amount paid for a theater
ticket. That is to say, a dollar seat,
after December 1, costs sl.lO. Just
how this tax will bo paid has not
been determined. C. Floj'4 Hopkins
was unable to give any information
upon this subject this morning- He
has not received official notification
of the tax which is to apply to the
theater patrons, but stated that the
tax will not become effective until
December 1. In the meantime the
authorities at Washington will deter
mine the manner in which this tax
is to be collected.
Three-Cent Postage
Moving picture shows will be
taxed on the same basis, one cent
for every fen-cent admission. Chil
dren will likely be taxed one cent
for every five-cent admission.
While it will be some time before
the general public will feel the full
force of the new law, which was ap
proved October 3. many of the in
creases become effective very short
ly. After November 2 it will require
3 cents to mall a first-class, or
sealed letter, weighing not more
than one ounce. Postal cards re
quire two cents. The following In
structions have just been received
by postmasters:
"Postmasters shall on and after
November 2 see that postage is paid
at the rate of three cents an ounce
or fraction thereof on letters and
other flrrt class matter except drop
letters. All drop letters, that is, iet
ters mailed for .delivery from the
office at which posted, including
those for delivery by city, rural or
other carrier of such office, are re
quired to have postage paid on them
at the rate of two cents an ounce or
fraction thereof. Postal cards are
required to be prepaid two cents,
and. therefore, the one-cent postal
cards must have a one-cent postage
stamp affixed to them In addition to
one-cent stamp impressed on such
cards. Post cards (private mailing
cards) bearing written messages
must have two cents postage pre
paid on them.
