POLITICS DOES
NOT ADJOURN
WITH CONGRESS
Trend of Affairs at Washing
, jton -Shows Game Is Being
Played All the
' Time. ,
By EDGAR C SNYDER.
Washington Staff Correspondent of
The Bee.
To adjourn," according to Webster,
Is defined as -patting off or deferring
to another day" This congress has
done, the "potting of f being : w i per
iods of three daya at a time. And this
I assume the public accepts.
But about the other adjournment, as
suggested by the president, to wit:
Politics. If anybody accepts that as
fact he has either not been in
Washington or has been asleep while
here, because politics was not- put
off to another day. ...
If the president's statement had been
an expression of a wish, it might be
different, because the public is coming
to see how those entrenched in power,
but with multiplied embarrassing
political conditions might think
the less disturbance the less the
tVltx'mt illustrate my thought by
taking the case of South Carolina, a
tit removed from Nebraska, 111 ad
mit, but nevertheless a part of the
union.
White House Maroons Lever.
The veteran Ben Tillman, who was
' scheduled . for a "pitchfork" battle
with ex-Governor Cole Blease, a oar
ing antagonist, saw suddenly spring
into the running the popular young
congressman, A. F. Lever, chairman
of the agricultural committee of the
house. The White 'House saw how
this would endanger Tillman and help
Blease. By what amounted to almost
a peremtory demand from the White
House, Lever withdrew, notwith
standing three candidates had an
nounced for his congressional pos
A few davs following this,
Tillman passed "Over the Bar." The
time for the congressional filing had
nt and Lever was left marooned.
Let us look at the conditions a bit
closer home.' The president tnougnt
the renublicana of Michigan could be
benevolently assimilated especially
if the acid test was withdrawn and
Henry Ford the ultra pacifist, who
snent millions to orevent the United
States resenting Its wrongs and who,
on such a platform !.ad run for pres
ident in Nebraska, was drafted from
the White House to run on both
tickets. ' . '
Lewis as Official Democrat
Illinois furnishes another example.
By a fluke, Illinois is represented in
t the United states senate by one Jim
" Ham Lewis, notable first, for his
pink whiskers and rainbow raiment
Second, as the official denouncer for
the administration.
It will be recalled that he was the
man who was sent to New Hampshire
to denounce and did denounce ev
ery one voting for republican, candi
dates for congress as "Voting for the
Kaiser," This work he has been do-
N big in one way or another ever since.
Lewis became so obnoxious to the
t people of the north, he being a south
erner by birth, that he personally saw
the handwriting on the wall and an
nounced his intention not ' to seek
re-election, but the president recall
ing his availability for burlesque
stunts, wrote a letter asking him to
reconsider.
To this , Lewis answered that he
would run, not as a democrat or re
publican, or as a mere partisan, but as
an American. It seems that the func-
tion of those calling themselves Amer
icana ana who, for some reason or
other, do not desire to stand with the
party which brought about their elec
, tion, ; find the greatest activity in
questioning the loyalty of all others
yho differ from them.
Then comes the home' state of the
president New Jersey. It has become
' so hopelessly republican that no dem
ocrat can be found who wants to
make a serious race against Gover
nor Edge for the senate, so the White
. House sent out a feeler calling upon
Thomas A. Edison, a republican, to
run on the democratic ticket. ;
Someone said, "Adjourn" means
"to out off to another day." But I
have come to the conclusion that the
kind of adjournment now offered, is
putting off until another night be
cause all ways resorted to are dark.
Then again the big $6,000,000,000
bond drive is fixed for October This
a democratic leader expressed as
being an excellent oportunity to go
out and campaign for senators a I
representatives under the guise of
campaigning for bonds.' Of course,
in discussing bonds, it gives great
opportunity to extol distinguished
fathers-in-law and energetic sonj-in
' law; also to magnify the intelligence
o a party whose majority count
from that section that nava a .v
small fraction of the tax money and
which win have tp pay only a small
fraction of the bonds and in.erest
but which is obtaining the major ocr
tton of the appropriations expended.
This may not be entirely . smooth
sailing for the party in cower be
cause the people have gotten along to
i quui me ume wiien iney are com
mencing to question just how this
vast sum of money so freely riven
is being expended. Ten per cent cost
plus in the great expenditures wil!
come up for pointed discussion and
inquiry. -
The aeroplane fall-down will prob
ably have been fully developed in the
two investigations now in progress
and other matters, which then will
be seen as prompting reasons for the
adjournment of'politics, .say become

Besides all the experts who were

what sort of an expert each particular

Perhaps it was a perfectly ood sys

was simply because it was too new
for them to grasp suddenly. I do
not know, however, of any way in
which I can better elucidate the opin

"As a result it is said, not all the

There was more or less annoyance

These notes, sold to smaller banks,
soon had to be met and the New
York Stock exchange heads cast spec
ulative eyes on the notes, it is aid.
"Thereupon Dr. Rumely's efficiency
and "progressiveness" methods began
to wane and reorganization plans pro
ceeded forwith."
New Ideas and Projects
Once out of the M.Rumely com
pany, Dr. Rumely concentrated his
attention and interests upon hij Inter
laken school. He also began to write
articles for various magazines on edu
cation, on manufacturing, on agricul
ture and other economic and social
topics. His active brain was contitri
ally evolving new projects and 'deas,
some of which he put into effect in his
school, others of which he attempted
to promote. I was then living in
Chicago and saw Dr. Rumely at mori
or less frequent intervals. Sometimes
I would visit the school; at other
times he would call me up when he
was in Chicago and we would lunch
or dine together. There was always
something stimulating in this sort of
intellectual intercourse. He would
spread his latest new idea before me
and iu rapid fire sentences illumtna.o
it with excursions into the realms
philosophy and art, science and fane,
history and romance, until the ordi
nary mind grew weary in trying to
follow the myriad threads of thought.
Often after a session of an hour or
two with the doctor I have found
myself a month later still trving to
trace to its ultimate conclusion some
line of thought suggested by some
sparklingly brilliant idea carelessly
dropped into the middle of a conver
sation on some entirely different topic.
Brushed Aside Obstacles
It was always difficult to 'draw the
line between sound logic and falla
cious reasoning when listening to Dr.
Rumely cxponded whichever one
of his pet ideas was uppermost in his
mind at the moment. Difficulties and
obstacles he brushed aside as of no
moment. Projects and schemes that,
emanating from a less brilliant in
tellect, would have seemed crude and
half-baked, under the spell of Vis
almost hypnotic enthusiasm and con
fidence took on the semblance of
realty. It was not until the next day,
or the next week, after the naic had
worn off, that the flaws in his reason
ing .became apparent.
I remember one of Dr. Rumely s
plans in this period between the down
fall of the Rumely company and the
beginning of the European war was
to establish a great publishing house
io provide improving literature for
which have been gained on this battle
field. "On the heights southwest of Sois
sons the attacks of the enemy
against the town, which were launched
after the strongest drum fire, col
lapsed. Led by tanks the enemy in
fantry rushed forward to the .attack
as many as seven times against the
road from Sojssons to Chateau
Thierry, north of the Ourcq.
"Northwest of Chateau Thierry our
regiments, who during the last few
weeks have over and again been
vainly attacked, yesterday also vic
toriously held their positions against
many times repeated strong attacks
by the Americans.
"On the southern bank of the
Marne, after four hours of artillery
preparation and under cover of a
heavy fire and with numerous tanks,
the enemy made combined attacks
against positions which had been
evacuated by us during the previous
night, which attacks uselessly beat
against empty positions. Our flanking
fire was directed from the north
bank, inflicting losses on the enemy.
"Southwest of Rheims the enemy
brought up strong forces on the posi
tions occupied by us on the Marne
and north of the Ardre. The English
here came to the help of the French
and Italians. As a result of our fire
and counter thrusts they failed with
heavy losses to the enemy.'

the working man at low cost. They do
that sort of thing in Germany, he
told me. Every village has its book
hop, where the laborer can buy 'Ji
copy of Bernhardt or Trietschke or
"Also Sprach Zarathustra" for a
pfennig or two. Books cost too much
in America, he thought He would
get out little books to sell for a nickel,
which the working classes would eag
erly devour. Having had a good many
years of experience in various phrases
of the printing and publishing busi
ness, I was able to qualify in his eyes
as an expert; therefore my assurance
that, whatever they might do in Ger
many this project would not work in
America for more than one reason.
was sufficient jto divert his attention
from the scheme.
An Amazing Proposal
Then in August 1914, Germany
tore up the scrap of paper on which
it had guaranteed the neutrality of
Belgium end started out to conqu
the world. I, do not need to recall
to the memory of any thinking Ameri
can the shock that this wfanton a:t tf
a nation with which all the world
had been at peace sent through the
civilized portions of the earth. Many
of us most of us in fact did not
sense it at first as our quarrel or as
anything that concerned the destinies
of America. As for our German-American
friends and neighbors, we did
not blame them for sympathizing and
openly expressing sympathy with the
land of their birth. We were confi
dent that whatever their sentimental
attachment for the fatherland, they
were at heart Americans; they had
merely failed to grasp the essential
differences between what Germany
was fighting for and what th . lies
were fighting for. That any real Am
erican, however much he might ad
mire the good qualities of the Ger
man people or the splendid achieve
ments of Germans in art, literature
and science could accept the German
view of ethics or the German scheme
of society was incredible. That any
American could possibly believe that
the American people could, by an
means, be made to accept the German
point of view and see the great wa'
through German eyes, was unbeliev
able. That any American would be
willing to undertake to pervert the
minds of the American people until
they saw the world, not as Americans
but as Germans, was impossible. The
man who would attempt it, b- so do
ing branded himself not an American
but a German.
I feel that way now, I felt fat wav
then, in August, 1914. You can per
haps judge of my amazement when,
only a few weeks after Germany be
gan the war, my friend, Dr. Rumely,
came to me with the proposal to es
tablish a nationwide propaganda to
convince the American people that
Germany was fighting a just and
righteous war!
(In his article Mr. Stockbridge
tells how Dr. Rumely disclosed to
him the whole German plan and pur
pose in the war as it has since been
developed, and proposed to educate
the American people to the. Gern a.i
viewpoint.)
