SOCIALIST STIRS

Rudely Disturbed.
FINALLY TURNED DOWN

IHtTOouCeo ncSoiution declaring So

in the World" and Urges Its Adop-
tion-convention Refuses to Thus
Emphasize the Views of Any Fac
tion OF Delegates.
Chicago, May G.-The peaceful de-
liberations of the peace congress were
rudely disturbed when A. Nj. Simon
of the Chicago Daily Socialist at
tempted to secure formal recognition
of socialism as the greatest peace
force In the world"
1t happened after the congress had
officially adopted platform in strict
keeping with its well known prin-
ciples along broad lines, carefully
avoiding matters of sectional or polit-
tcal controversy.
Mr.. Simon arose with 400 words of
"whereases" and "be it resolved
outlining socialistic beliefs and ac.
complishments and attributing the
causes of war to 'the exploitation of
labor and the impoverishment of those
who toll"
Great confusion followed. The reg
ular platform had been read and
amidst the turmoil aroused by the
Simon resolutions there were repeat.
ed calls for the original question On
a viva voce vote the report of the
resolutions committee carried unani
mously. The question then recurred
to the adoption of the socialist reso
lutions
Secretary Melendy arose to state
that he thought Industrial causes OF
war should be recognized and like
wise the efforts of those organizations
which make for peace, but he could
not vote for the resolutions as pre-
sented. He suggested a substitute
resolution less radically worded
Ready to Amend Resolutions.
IF there is any way by which this
recognition of which Mr.. Melendy
speaks can be secured I am sure tha
the socialists and trade unions will bt
very glad to make an amendment thai
would recognize this fact" said Mr.
Simon.
Judge =. O. Brown of the resolu
tions committee declared that the reg
ular platform already adopted seemed
best to embody the varying opinion.
Of the delegates as a whole withou
unduly emphasizing those of any on
faction.
J. e. Iglehart opposed the Simon
resolutions, saying:
"My opinion Is that this convention
will lose more or less of its mora
force, especially with the countrie
of Europe, ii we interject partisal
view of any question like this into tn
record"
This declaration was received wit
applause and a motion to lay on tn
table was promptly seconded.
The chair called for a viva voc
vote, the result of which In the ensl
ing confusion seemed to be agains

seemed to have the same result and

PRESIDENT TAFT'S
 OPENING THUNDER.

On Monday, all the indications at Washington pointed to the success of combination of Republican insurgent and Democratic members of the House in their plan Of reform in that body, by taking from the Speaker the power of commit ittee-construction and confer ring it upon a committee on commit tees," as in the Senate, such commit tee to be named by the House.
 On Tuesday, this happy prospect vanished Speaker Cannon, with Sen ator Aldrich who is the Republican leader in the upper House, saw Pres ident Taft and, by presenting the ar gument-practica1ly a threat-of prob- able delay in action upon the tariff bill, secured his potential opposition to the reform proposed by the insurgent- Democratic combination. Such inter vention was the one thing feared by the combination. It tends to confirm the somewhat current impression that, while .&No" was a feature of the Roose- welt Administration, the exceeding good nature of President Taft will rem der use of the negative a vanishing feature of the present Administration.
 The probable effects will be the re- el6cI1On or SpCdhoT 1dIIlOIl, TC-dQOp- ton of the House rules which give au- tocratic power to him, and punish ment of all members of the combina- tion by non-recognition in all possible ways. Under the re-adopted rules, it will be easy for the Speaker to con- tinue them during the entire term of the 61st Congress.
 Another effect will be a diminution of President Taft's prestige as a re- former. At the first opportunity and before his Administration ended its first week, he arrayed himself and his compelling power against reform, than which none other is more impor- tant. It will be, as it has been in the past, within the power of non-pro- gressive Speaker Cannon to stihe ev- cry reform movement which may ap- pear in the House.
 President Taft has made a gigantic blunder.

Ex-SENATOR PIATT
 BREAKS SILENCE.

During his reign as Boss of New York Republicanism,, and his service in the Senate, Thomas c. Platt was not "a talkative man." Rather than use words to conceal thoughts, as many so-called statesmen do, he maintained hilence as better promotive of secrecy Df action. But since his retirement from the Senate last week, MT. Platt has become almost loquacious. and in tarviews with him have appeared in Newspapers. He predicts that senator Root will become the 'one boss in New York for some time,'' which prediction was confirmed Tuesday night, when Mr. Root, at meeting in New York eify practically assumed the party leadership. Of the Ex-President MT. Platt says he thinks MT. Roosevelt takes "a long chance" in his African trip. and that when a man in politics stays outside the organization for more than q year he is mighty apt to stay put for all time." This opinion seems akin to a wish. and there are many prominent and active Republicans who win probably echo it.
 < Ex-Senator PIatt has, in addition to interviews, contributed ''reminiscen- ces.' to the Cosmopolitan Magazine, which are interesting as adding to the verities of political history For years he has been called the 'tMe Too" of Senator Conkling. the deceased leader of the New York Stalwarts. When President Garfield appointed Robert son to the N. Y. Customs collectorship against the wishes of Senators Conk- ling and Platt, they promptly resigned, and it has always heretofore been un- derstood that in this action Platt obeyed sConklings wish. Now, Ex- Senator Platt states that it. was with diffculty that he secured his col leagues, consent to resign with him.
 Mr. PIatt also asserts that it was his sinsistent demand that forced the gold plank into the platform of 1896;" that he forced the nomination of Roosevelt for Governor, despite his in- eligibility, and that then, in order to get him out of the State and to have q spectacular figure from the Spanish war upon the ticket. he forced him fRoosevelt) upon the Republican tick ct for Vice President.
 Ex-senator Platt is adding to the truths of history. It is the greatest public service remaining in his power.

MT. Carnegie suggests as a means of preserving international peace that Great Britain and this country make an agreement under which the former would protect our Pacific coast, Hawaii and the Philippines from invasion, while the latter would similarly pro- tect the entire Atlantic coast and the British islands adjacent thereto. This would, in his opinion, abate the need of naval expansion by either power.
