-Crirr
Senator Lewis, Speaking In Support of
Wilson, Declared the United States
Will Enter the War If the Conflict
Continues.
Washington, .tun. S. Senator ',""';,
substitute for llu Hitchcock resolution
indorsing President Wilson's peace
note, which appro cs tin request for
peace terms wlihmit Indorsing the note
itself, was paused on Friday hy the
somite.
The vote wns IS to 17. Progressive
Itcpiihllcmi senators voted solidly with
tho Democrats for tho substitute.
Speaking In the senate In support of
the Hitchcock resolution t Induce
President Wilson's pence note. Senntor
Lewis (I)ein.) of Illinois asserted that
the European war could not continue
without the United States becoming
Involved in It.
Senator Lewis said that the temper
of the American people would brook
no apology or excuse for further de
struction of American life, bill "would
resent ami punish to the full etent of
America's power."
"The very debate In opposition to
this resolution." Senator Lewis said,
"has done more Injury to the cause of
jieuce to which President WINon has
bought to give Impulse and force than
liny other lorm of opposition that lias
iirlsen from any other source In all the
United States.
"The very atmosphere that has been
projected from this body that there
were men here eminent In the councils
of tho nation who found reacts of
nny nnture to Justify them in opposing
the effort of the president to bring
iihout peace is an Indication In parts
of tho world that there are men In this
republic who would llml any reason
satisfactory to avoid the peace of ihe
world.
"People of other lands, viewing this
ask what motive Is behind this oppsl
tlon. They reply to themselves that It
cither Is because the power of those
who make riches or the law Is potent
oven In this roily, that they could coiv
tlnue war that they might benellt In
continuation of riches as a result of It,
or that race prejudice has grown so
Htroug In this laud of all the races that
these distinguished representatives In
this tribunal are not able to divorce
themselves Kiilllclently from It to give
encouragement to the president of the
United States to bring an end to this
universal slaughter of mankind, this
ravishing of women, this crumbling of
civilization, this death of kingdoms
and this end of u Christian era.
"Then It will be said hereafter that
senators hero opposed the president's
receiving from this co-ordinate branch
of tho government u mere encourage
ment of his effort at a solution of
pence and a tender of his good of
llces." "The opposition to this resolution
also will be construed abroad as an
Indication on the part of this body as
an expression of such partiality for
ono belligerent against tho others that
wo are content to continue the war
merely for the object that It would
beat down to destruction one of those
belligerents mid exalt the other to ex
ultaut victory.

Moro and more it begins to appear
that ono of the big issues of this ses
sion of tho legislature is the question
of how stringent and how drastic will
bo tho laws adopted to make tho pro
hibition amendment effective. Mem
bers of both houses already are giving
Hint problem serious consideration,
and now that the now governor has
taken a definite stand on it. the dis
cussion has waved warmer than ever.
In the end the question may tesolve
Itself Into something like this: "Shall
we adopt si bone dry law such as was
adopted by the people of Oregon last
November, or shall wc permit ship
ments from outsldo the state with Ihe
understanding that the liquor Is for
private consumption only."
On tho one hand there arc those
who argue that the people adopted
prohibition upon the promise of the
dry leaders that bono dry measures
would not bo sought. It Is urged that
it Is now up to the drys to live up
to that promise. On the other hand
It is maintained that, If there Is to bo
any kind of prohibition nt all. it should
bo made as drastic as possible in or
der that it will really prohibit.
