Senators Kellogg, of Minnesota and Fall, of New Mexico, Republicans, and Robinson, of Arkansas, Democrat, re plied with criticism of Mr; LeFolletteTs publis statements. They Renounced what they termed his unpatriotic stand, Senator Robinson asserting that if he held such opinions he would seek a. place in the German, Bundes rath. Statements accedited to the Wis consin member in his St. Paul speech were flatly contradicted, especially that regarding Former Secretary of State BryaVs' knowledge of ammuni tion being onthe Lusitania before she sailed on her fatal voyage. Apparently stung by the criticisms, Senator LaFollette made an unseccess- fful effort to get time for a response. He succeeded, in stating that he wish ed to make known authority for his declaration regarding the Lusitania and tonight announced he would is sue a public statement tomorrow. On Monday the senate privileges and" elections-investigating sub-committee will meet to investigate his St. Paul speech, including the Lusitania incident.

PERRY-HORTON tOMP ANY West Main Street Durham, N. C. I have been in the county now near ly four years, and it seems that the unrighteous forces of our county are not able to place me. Therefore I feel that it is best for me and the forces of righteousness to speak once more in behalf of my contentions. There are many in ana out oi tne cnurcn- mat have eyes to see and see not, that seem to htink that , it is amazingly Strang'that l should be so'pron'oun ced in my protest of the unrighteous side of jror County Fair. Ngw I want kit understood once for always that I have given mylife withoot reserva tion for these four years for the growth and development of our coun ty morally, mentally, and materially, and mean to contirtue to fight for these so long asl am a citizen of .Per son county. No man in Person county has suffered more agony in trying to give birth to higher morals, and clean case of moral danger I have hurled er living. In order to do this in every my body betwen danger and the life of our people, and have often stood alone fighting for the destruction of moral evil, and for hte lives of our sons and daughters with my soul torn and bleeding with critinism and rebuke. I have worked for more and better education, for better high ways, cleaner politics, for the destruction of the liquor traffic, and for holy living. Why should you think it strange for me to raise a protest and refuse "to endorse the county fair as it has been run for the past, three years? I stand precisely wherel have always stood, and God being my helper will for ever stand. I believe in both destructive and "S PA I AM AS Made of outing, siz- ABC tor $1.50 and $2.00 a suit I his is mighty suitable wether to use out- wear.

The first fair, we had I made a made a kick, and the-President made a promise tnatne lair lor-iyib wotua be - a clean one. And behold it was! worse than the first. After seeing that a promise ment nothing, ! made up my mindf that I would make a stump campaign against iti But when the President came before the people in and out of jthe press promising emphatically-that nothing questionable for the year 1917 wuold be tolerated, I. gave way,! and ask many; of the farmers to kelp make the Fair a suc cess. But the;, carnival this year was far more questionable. than ever be fore. In proof of this the carnival was run on a larger scale. The gambling dens were in every quartet At least one Methodist precaher called them gambling dens. Many of our best peo ple called tnem places of, robbery. The leading Baptist preacheiKof Rox boro called them money traps. Call them what you may, no son of-Person county would be allowed to run such dens on the streets of Roxboro. In' proof of the fact that they were places of gambling, and . contrary to the law of our country, our sheriff on first sight had six of these places closed. . x In the second place many of the . v shows were vulgar, .indecent, and not fit places for our wives and children, and holy men. JL dare not go any where that is not a fit ploce for the woman hood of our touhtry. I have my first man to find that has any self respect, but what said these hellish holes were demoralizing ; to our country. - ' One man said he went in 49 and had a hugging frolic with one of the girls, and he thought she was alright. Wait a minute. Nothing but the passion of a brute would ever prompt aTman to go behind ' curtains, and lock his arms ohlilt f"ko Krt""r' ff n ciMnaa iwmov ' in a questionable ' place. I love pure womanhood, and would give my life in her defence. But believe me, no pure, . holy woman would ever eonsent to place her pure body in the arms, or , Hands of unrighteousness and then cling to you begging for a drink. Several have said that most of these girls were married women, and their husbands were always there to take charge of them as they came out of the hands of other men. In the name and for the" sake of virtue what could possibly prompt a man to hug, frolic, and dance, with a strange married wo man otherthan a brutish and friendish. hope. This is 49. Yet one of the .stocjc holders told me this was clean in comparison with other enclosures. Now sons and daughters of Person county, in the face of all this filth and rot, the Courier, our County paper, our conscience creator, our moral dir ector, had the following to say in an eyort to boost the fair. "The midway this year is far better, cleaner and a higher class than ever before on the fair grounds. The manageenmt of the association promised the people of Person county that nothing indecent now would gambling be allowed at this fair, and fater a careful examin ation by - the writer, we found that the association had kep its word. And too, the attractions are good, and well worth the price of admission." Read this over again and notice every word in it. Everything is blue to the man wearing blue glasses. I hate -to say what I am going to say, but to be honest I must. During m yfour years stay in your county, the Courier has boosted -better roads, better schools, and better farming. This the Courier should have done, but at no time and under no circumstances has it boosted better morals and cleaner living. But on the other hand has endorsed" and boosted questionable thing thatrha been in our county, even to that rot ten contemptable thing stuck under the nose of our wives and children on the Court House Square. When ever a paper over looks the morals of our people it has no mission, tion. I am contending lor the moral Children of Person you see my posi uplift, and moral betterment of our home county. Give me holy woman hood, and pure manhood, and away with your filthy lucre, coming out of places of indecency. J. -J.
