. EMPORIA, Has., June 6. Mrs.
Mrosseau, president-general of the
I). A. 11., declares that the black
list of the D. A. R. contains only
names of those who have opposed
what she calls "the naval pro
gram." This Is not a fact. My same Is
on that blacklist and I have sup
ported President Coolldge's naval
program, his wbolo armament
program, from start to finish.
That list was made by a lot of
brass-buttoned retired officers who
are promoting the plans of tho big
. munition makers' naval program
which is admittedly ridiculous and
which has been defeated by con
gress. More than that, my name
. was on the list two years ago when
. Ihcre was no question of arma
ments. At that time, Mrs. Brosseau
pretended that she was not respon
sible for the list. Now she admits
culpability and defonds the list.
I have tried to Jlpd why my

isfaction, I have been for years a
member of the republican party a
paying member at that. I have do
nated, or offered to donate, to re
publican national campaigns Blnce
1920. I was one of a committee of
nine that wrote the republican
platform In 1920 and in 1924 I sup
ported the republican national tick
et and have President Coolldge's
cordial letter of thanks to me for
what I did In 1924. Tills year I am

The action of the D. A. R. commit

Hoard, in his "History of the

says of the "respectables" who
fawned on the king and royalty
and refused to be with the ances
tors of tho D. A. It., that they
openly said that the commission-

half savages from the backwoods;
the patriots' camp was filled with
priests, tailors and cobblers, with

hypocricy, fraud, bundles of lies,
calumny, veal, riot, cruelty, cun

Times have not much changed
The committee of the D, A. It.,
In their predudlce and Ignorance,
pretend to advise Intelligent Amer
icans as to whom they should
hear, what they should read and
what they should think. They
would have joined with the syco
phants In 1776 to Btone their own
ancestors for their devotion and
courage.
It Is related about the grand
daughter of Victor Hugo, who was
a social leader in Paris, that some
scholar complimented kher upon
her industrious ancestor. She re
plied: "Can I never get rid of my
grandfathers?" '
