Sena tor Lane's annearance on the sen ate floor at that time has been re called as .a dramatic event in American legislative history. Tha ilrnifiMnhe of Senator Lane's answer to the senior sena- tnr of Orecron who asked him why lie refused to vot for the declar ation OI war IS OHlier apprei-iaicu today because bis words have come true. Senatpr Lane said: "I cannot Tote to throw our country Into a struggle, the final results of which no one id able to foretell. This is not a wAr to make the world- safe for rrbed and profits After this war there will be less ilpmocraer than ever before." Not 24 hours after these words were uttered, the entire nation vim nil lnrvln sr Senator Lane The press branded his as a twentieth century Benedict Arnold. The Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch added his name on the "Senate Roll of Dishonor." He was burnt Iii effiiTT throughout the entire country. His maili brought threats of Dhvslcal violence. What was perhaps the hardest thine for the senator to endure was the censure of his closest friends. Charlesi S. Barnett, an Influential man fhm Lane's own atate wrote him a oublic letter in which he said, ITou will render Oresron a rreat arid lasting service by resigning in favor of an abler reTn-ftsentative." Beinjt the only senator west of the Rockies who sided with the dissentors. the en tire Pacific coast united in humil iating him before! the world. So terribly di the abuse and condemnation affject Senator Lane that he knew he was going to die. Before leaving Washington, where the war measure! had Just passed, he told two of hfts closest friends. Senator La Foliejtte of Wisconsin and Senator Norjris of Nebraska, that he would (never see them again and he nerer did.. While enroute to Oregon Senator Lane died in San Francisco. V The years hav changed public sentiment toward Senator Lane. Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali fornia, who vote;d for America's 'entrance Into the World war, said, This Is a delightful time now to tni Justification j of the men who stood firmly yeafs ago for main taining Americajn security and keeping out of every foreign en tanglement and every European war. Nineteen yearsj after his death, the house and senate show their approval of his fcollcy by passing . the neutrality measure, which he advocated. The jcontrol of arma ment manufacturers, approved by Lane, Is now universally accepted. A ban against American ships car- - rylng war material to any belliger ent country, a measure advocated by Lane, Is now tegarded as quite - proper. " Senator Asle J J Gronna of North Dakota, paid a short but beautiful tribute to Lanej He said, "No man will be able I to preach a eulo gy such - as the deeds of Harry Lane deserve. Senator Norris of Nebraska said over Lane's gravje, "When he was denounced by men in public life whom he loved, as an enemy to" his country, it will nigh broke hU heart . ., The despair of his hon est heart was so great and the ' agony of his blighted hope so se vere that he nerer recovered his former self . . I I think he was satisfied with, his life work . ; . The place where; he lies is almost umi in inn irn nparm or ina many thousands who knew his work and loved him for it."
