EXTRACTS from Thomas E. WatsOn's 5
speech at Nashville.1
Who is pouring in the millions for
Parker? The great corporations. with
Belmont to represent them Belmont,
the American agent of the RothschilGs
and the Standard Oil crowd. What
are those corporations pouring their
wealth into Parker's campaign fund
for? When a railroad stufs a judges
pocket with free passes you know
what they expect don't you: You
know they expect something in return
They expect a friendly disposition on
the part of the judge, and very fire.
quentiy it is quite friendly. Laugh
teri When the Standard oil company
and the Rothschild combination and
the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
represented by Belmont. who manages
the Southern railway combine when
these men pour money into parker's
campaign don't you think they expect
something too: Isn't that common
sense: Oh. southern man. unshacEle
your brain and think for yourself!

FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE
President Roosevelt to Act First.
Will Call Conference of Ma
tiOns at The Hague.
lnterparliamentary Union Meets the
"StroIg Man of Peace
In Washington.

Gentlemen of the Interparliamentary
UniOn-I greet you with profound
pleasure as representatives in a special
sense Of the great international move
ment for peace and good will among
the nations Of the earth. It is a matter
of qualification to all Americans that
we have had the honor of receiving
you here as tie nations guests. You
are men skilled in the practical work
of government in your several coun-
tries. and this fact adds weight to your
championship of the cause Of interna-
tiOndl justice. l thank you for your
kind illusions to what the government
of the United States has accomplished
for the policies you have at heart. and
I assure you that this governments at
Jitude will continue unchanged in ref
erence thereto. We are even now tax
ing steps TO secure arbitration treaties
with all other governments which are
willing to enter into them with us.
IN response 10 your resolutions l
NAAtAA ct an NiAAf AtlAN tt9h lllF OlAltl llel-
tions to join in a second congress at
The Hague Applause feel. as l
am sure yOu do, that our efforts should
take the shape Of pushing forward the
work already begun ut The Hague and
that whatever is now done should ap-
pear not as something divergent there
from. but as a continuance thereof.
Time to Advance the Work
AT the first conference at The Hague
several questions were left unsettled,
and it was expressly provided that
there should be a second conference.
A reasonable time has elapsed and l
feel that your body has shown sound
judgment in concluding that a second
conference. should now be called to
carry some steps further toward COM
pletiou the work of the first. 1t would
be visionary to expect too immediate
success for the great cause you are
champiouing, but very substantial prog
ress can be made if we strive with res
OlutiOn and good sense toward the goal +.
of securing among the nations of the .
earth. a. among the individuals Of each .
nation. a just sense of responsibility /
in each toward others and just rec .
oguiton in each Of the rights of 9th
ers. The right and the responsibility
must go hand in hand. Our efforts
must be unceasing both to secure in
each nation fun acknowledgement of
the rights of others and to bring about
an each nation an ever growing sense
Of It's own responsibilities.
At an early date | shall issue the call
for the conference you request. Zap
plausc. I again greet you and bid
you welcome in tie name of the Amer
lean people and wish you godspeed in

In acceding to the request Of the
interparliamentary union that he in
vite the nations to a second Hague
conference President Roosevelt has
taken step worthy of all praise. 1t
may be impossible to reassemble the
peace congress soon. Russia and ia
pan could scarcely send representatives
at present, and the unsettled questions
may not be disposed of even when the
delegates do find themselves at The
Hague, but the president has, at any
rate, shown his hearty good will and
by so much officially committed the
United States to disapproval of war.
