templated by 800 farmers living

the courage and consistency OF one

national platforms Of his party Inc
Democratic conventions OF l9of anu
1905 both adopted resolutions favorlhs
the popular election Of senators 1he
resolution of 1904 said:

Senators by direct vote of'the people
That,of 1908 said:
We favor the election of United states

and regard this reform as the gateway
to other national reforms
Not the yslightest suggestion III either
resolution that the entire control or
Senate elections should be transferred
10 the states. Yet every Democrat in
the House and every Democrat but one
in the Senate read such an unwarranted
demand into the platform, and In order
IN placate q few extreme advocates or
state rights from the South voted to
submit a bifurcated amendment which
no state imbued with the true senti-
ment of nationality could afford to
ratify.. The Senate should see to it that
no conference report passes which sur
renders a vital attribute OF national
sovereignty.

whole of Central America. And there

The five men Of prominence may
turn out to be three tailors Of Tooley
street. We hope they will. But I'M
fortunately it is only too well known
that this country is a favorite ground
of the disaffected and seditious of all
nations and that among our own citi-
zens we have too many INSCRIPTIONS
adventures who are always ready 10
make unclean and often blood stained
money by fomenting and promoting re-
bellions. no matter how causeess ana
wicked, in other countries. They make
q systematic business of so doing. They
pick out a land in which there seems
to be a chance to make trouble and or
canize and finance an outbreak there
precisely as they might exploit a rail-
road or rubber plantation. The nor
rors of war and the embarrassment OF
dinlomatic complications are nothing
but pawns in their mercenary game
and of course questions of patrlouc
principle. such as might at times form
the basis of genuine revolutions, are
not so much as thought Of by them.
It is one thing for country to he
an asylum to the oppressed OF all ire
world. 1t is very different thing for
if TO he make Cave of Adullam occu-
pied by the common enemies of all the
world. The question to what extent IL
is incumbent upon this nation TO let It's
territory he used as plotting ground for
conspira cies against its own laws ana
for the embarrassment Of its own for
eien relations presents itself with in
creasing force and urgency.
Our diplomacy IS consistently ana
with some degree of efficiency directed
toward the encoura cement of peace ana
stability Of government in Central ana
South America. 1t is cynical anomaly
that at the same time men should openly
plan in this country to foment artl-
fcially and for revenue only condi-
ton of instability and war in those
countries.
