PRESIDENT TO LAWYERS
Says Federal Government Should
Protect Rights of Aliens.

Washington. April 2s.-Presldent Taft, ad-
dressing the members Of the American So
ciety of International Law, who called on
him this morning to pay their respects.
declared that The vindication of the rights
Of foreigners which have been violated on
American soil should be adjusted directly
by tffe Chief Executive. instead of the
President being obliged 20 refer those who
complain of such breaches of American
national obligations to Governors OF states
and county prosecutors. He spoke in part
as follows:
The remarks of Mr.. Root last night were
exceedingly interesting 10 those of us
chiefly Mr. knoX-who are attempting TO
bring about something practical in the way
OF tribunal which shall invite submission
by arbitration To have an instrument at
hand Is sometimes a means OF inducing
its use. ] am personally little more in
tereSied in another kind ot an instrument
that call 10 your attention as interna-
tional lawyers, looking at il from the
standpoint OF American international law
yers, and that Is that Congress should put
In the hands of the Executive the means
By which We can perform our national OBJ
I've should not he obliged TO refer those
who complain of a breach of those obliga-
tions 10 Governors of states and county
prosecutors 10 take up the procedure of
indicating the rights of aliens which have
been violated on American soil. I don't
think that any one. however, will not
say eNtreme-but however strong his view
of the necessity Of the preservation OF state
rights under the federal Constitution, will
deny the power OF the government TO de-
fend and protect and provide procedure for
enforcing the rights that are given TO
aliens under treaties made by the govern
ment of the United States.
Therefore. N is no excuse. il seems 70
me- TO any one who is a supporter of the
federal Constitution at all to saw that he
is in favor Of a strict construction of that
Constitution and the preservation OF state
rights in order 10 defend his refusal 10 give
10 the central government the means of en-
forcing its own promises II II has a
right to make promises, 7 think IL has a
right 10 fulhl them, AZ least ought 10
have power to fulfil them. I cannot sup
pose that the federal Constitution was
drawn by men who proposed TO put in the
hands Of one set Of authorities the power
10 promise and then withhold from them
the means Of fulfilling them

the Wisconsin Senator was rather Srudg-
inrly given The Senate. as well as It's
presiding officer. evidently wanted - vote.
and while most Of The Senators remained
I'm their seats. there was manifest inpa-
thence. at least among the advocates or
the bill.
Declaring that the standard In the Sen
ate had declined since 1890. when the anti
trust law was enacted. and asserting that
law 70 be. next to the Constitution, the
principal bulwark of the liberties Of the
PEOPLE Mr. La Toilette warned his col
leagues and especially Western Senator'S.
against being the first 20 impair the Law,
we are come upon a time when the
country mas an administration which IL
ready to stand for legislation which never
before could have been attempted with any
prospect Of success. and to-day We must
vote" ne shouted. whether we will make
the first breach I'm this statute. under the
behest of those who have been attacking
n for ten years
Taking I'D the Republican platform, Mr..
La Toilette asserted that party platforms
frequently came nearer representing the
views Of interested persons than those OF
the people at large. and that in reality
the Senate committee Z recommendation did
not coincide with The party declarations.
Rising 10 tip-toe and stretching his arm
toward the Republican side Of the cham
Der, the Wisconsin Senator proceeded TO
give his view of the transactions at the
Chicago convention.
When" he said. the hour came to call
together the Committee on Resolutions
there were there the heads Of the great
est trusts in the country" He declared
that not only the Republican party but the
Democratic party also would find IL nee
essary to protect itself from these infiu-
ences, for. he said. "the same gentlemen
who were in Chicago went also TO
Denver.
He asserted that not only must the Re-
publican party disentsngle itself from such
membranes. but II must free itself from
a certain leadership in both branches Of
Congress"
There Is a general understanding that
voting will be resumed tomorrow. and IL
is expected that all amendments. includ-
ing the new one Of Mr.. Cummins. will be
voted down and the Crawford provision
adopted.

PRAISE ALDRICH AND HALE
Governors Pothier and Fernald
Send Letters of Appreciation.

Washington. April 2o-Cordial expressions
of appreciation of the services of Senators
Aldrch and Hale. who have represented
Rhode Island and Maine. respectively. for
more than a generation in the United
States Senate. have been received by them
from the Governors of those states. The
letters were i'm response to the communica-
lions from the Senators announcing their
intention 10 retire and giving their reasons
therefor.
Governor n. J. Pothier of Rhode Island
says in his letter TO Senator Aldrich:
Your letter Of the 18th inst, informing
me OF your decision not 10 be a candidate
for reelection to the United States Senate
In 1911, IL at hand, | need hardly assure
you that the course you have decided upon
has occasioned keen regret among a large
and representative body of Rhode Island
citizens whose pride OF state has found
It's vindication in the influential and respon-
Sible position in the affairs of the nation
which its senior representative at the
capital has achieved and maintained for
generation.
While some OF the marked prestige which
Rhode Island has enjoyed at WASHINGTON
because of youv able and masterful execu-
ton of her commissions may perhaps seem
to be missed after your retirement, she will
surely derive the same measure of salts
faction as yourself in the knowledge that
your successor will he a Republican and
his efforts will be dedicated to the princi-
pies anu poHCleS OF the party whose ad-
ministration OF affairs has given 10 our
state such uniform prosperity and has
brought to the Republic firmly estab-
hshed and universal honor and respect.
The state and country are TO be con-
graduated upon having commanded your
services for so many years. and IL is an
added cause for congratulation that they
are not wholly to he lost until the none
tary system of the country has been
brought 10 the highest degree of perfec-
ton that the commission of which you are
the head is capable of producing.
Governor Fernald of Maine in his letter
to Senator Hale said.
l wish 10 express 10 you my fun appre-
ciation or your cordial expression with.
reference TO myself in your letter 10 Chair
man Boyd Allow me further 20 say that
/ am sure the whole tone OF your letter
VIII appeal To the people OF our state as
most admirable. broad minded and patri-
otto.

A BEAUTIFUL SOUVENIR.-The "dedi-
cation number OF The Bulletin OF the
Bureau of International Republics" which
has Just been issued by John Barrett, d.
rector of the bureau. constitutes beauti-
full souvenir of the suspicious events which
characterized the opening Of the new build
ing Of the bureau last Tuesday. A series
OF handsome engravings illustrates the
beauties of the building. and is accom-
panied by the finely executed portraits or
the principal participants in the exercises
There is no free publication Of quasi-ofi-
ciai nature which affords so much of popu-
lar interest and artistic merit as this bulle-
tin. which Mr.. Barrett issues each month
and which shows improvement with every
issue. II affords an exceptional OppoTu-
nifty of learning the resources and business
opportunities OF the American republics,

URGE HEALTH BUREAU.-A notaoie

to urge the enactment of legislation Great
ing a central bureau or department OF
health Some OF the witnesses strongly
urged department with Cabinet MEM
her at its head. while others merely en-
phasized the importance of co-ordinating
the health work Of the government Pro-
fessor Irving Fisher. of Yale. declared tnat
s.. 500 ooo. 900 a year could be saved to the
people of the United States by the eradica-
ton of purely preventable diseases Presl-
dent Taft is in hearty accord with the
movement to coordinate the health work
of the government in a single bureau, out
does not believe the Cabinet should be en-
larged by the addition Of Secretary OF
Public Health. There IS little or no pros
pect Of legislative action along these lines
at this session of Congress.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
Apropos of the action of the Massachu-
sets House of Representatives In voting
for constitutional convention for the pur-
pose Of so amending the Constitution as to
provide for the election Of Senators by
popular vote. there is considerable specu-
lation among members of Congress as 70
the propositions which would probably
come I'D in such a convention. OF course.
there is no power to restrict such con-
vention to any one subject. as. for in
stance. the adoption of an am -ndment pro
viding for the election of Senators by pop
ular vote and the variety of propositions
with which such convention would have
to deal may in some measure be foreseen
in the light of the legislative vsgaries now
being advocated by the several varieties
of insurgents which have attained nodi-
cum of power In the national legislature.
There is 10 doubt that such convention
would afford an elysium for the Pinchots'
the La Follettes. the Cumminses and the
Murdocks i'm public life, but there is
suspicion on the part OF the more conserVa-
tive statesmen that the time Is somewhat
inopportune for a convention of that char
acter.

BRITISH POSTERS-When Senator Al

he found the walls decorated with a va
riety of posters such as he had never be
held before. They were collection OF
campaign posters used in the recent cam

portray the evils of free trade. They were
notable for their graphic portrayal OF the
evils the English workingmsn is alleged 10
be suffering the result OF free trade. ana

artistic merit than anything OF the KIND
ever seen in this country. One espe-
cIslIv. depicting a family reduced to the
direst want and bearing the simple inscrlp-

a reproduction of a painting of exceptionai
merit. The posters were hung in Mr.. Al
drich's room by fellow member or the
Committee on Finance.

An interesting case has been related
In newspapers during the past few
weeks Of country preacher down In
New York who was led to take deep
interest in agriculture through the
ambition Of his son. 1t seems that
they together made a thorough study
Of scientific farming. with the result
that before long the dominic was far
In advance of the other farmers in the
community in both the theory and
practice Of agriculture. He made him.
self an expert in the matter Of soil
tillage. orcharding and animal hus-
bandry, with the result that in the
trips he made over his parish to min
lister to the spiritual needs of his peo-
pie he was also able to give advice and
suggestions which enabled them to
increase their material resources and
swell their bank accounts. He was
thus able to minister in twofold ca
pacity. and there is little question that
each type of service was the more eff
fective because 1t was correlated with
the other. This illustration points out
in very simple fashion the chief way
in which churches and ministers can
increase their usefulness to humanity
by heartfelt interest and active partici-
patton in the everyday life problems
and occupations of those whom they
would reach and help.
