f iorth Dakota; Senator Robert
M. La Follette. Sr.. of Wisconsin;
Senator George W. Norris, of Ne
braska; Senator William J- btone.
of Missouri and Senator James K
Vardaman. of Mississippi. 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."
