BY SENATOR JOSEPH M. DIXON,
Chairman Of the Progressive National
Committee

Committee.
NEW YORK, Sept. live hear a
great deal in this campaign about the
dignity" "poise" and conservatism"
of the president The constitution is
represented as attacked on all sides
and desperately defended by the presi-
dent, with the aid of Mr.. Barnes. of
New York. The people are depicted in
a frenzied attempt to undermine the
foundations of their own liberties and
the sources Of their own happiness,
with nothing standing between them
and their own imperilled institutions
but the stand patters of the old guard.
1t was Doctor Samuel Johnson. the
famous photographer, who, disguised
with the appeals made by discredited
politicians to national pride and party
spirit in order to cover their own short
comings, once described patriotism as
the last refuge of a sCoundrel" And,
considering certain speCious appeals
and shallow catch phrases which are
much in circulation now, it is very easy
20 see that they are intended to deceive
the people and to pervert their judg-
ment
Ex-Governor Frank S. Black said
once of Theodore Roosevelt:
He is not conservative. if by con-
servatism is meant waiting until it is
too late. He cares nothing for dig
nifty If by that is meant preserving a
dignified silence in the presence of fla
grant abuses"
Many Good Bills Attacked.
And as to this constant criticism
that certain much needed reforms are
impractiCable because demonstrations
al Roosevelt knows, in common with
all clear headed men, that the cry of
Unconstitutional" has been lifted up
TO defeat almost every measure of ben
efcent Legislation that has been en-
acted into law. The Dolliver- Hepburn
railroad rate bill was opposed as un-
constitutional Probably no measure
has resulted in such far reaching good.
1t is doubtful whether the interests
that were ranged against this egisla-
ton could now be persuaded to concur
in any measure looking to its modifi-
| cation or repeal
The bill for the Federal ms pection Of
meats was opposed as unconstitutional.
The pure food bill was opposed as I'M
| constitutional
In the spirit of DE- Johnson's deffni-

PENDLE TONF FREE;
CRAYS ARE HAPPY
Albanian, Convicted by Filipino
Court, Wins Liberty From
Island Prison.

Members Of the Atlanta Grays and
graduates Of the old Neel Military
school are rejoicing today at the news
that Charles NJ Pendleton, an old COM
rade, has been freed from Bilibid prison
in the Philippine Islands, and is now N
private business in Shanghai, China.

mas
Lieutenant Pendleton. of the Philip
pine consta bulary. was convicted by a
native court about eight years ago of
the murder of Filipino, though his
friends believed. the conviction a delib-
crate move to make an example of some
American for violation of the Filipino
laws. American Intervention was i'm
possible under the circumstances. but
wealthy Filipinos, believing Pendleton
innocent, put up cash bond of 10000
ana freed him from prison. He was out
under this bond for six years, but when
he learned his appeal had been denied
he voluntarily sur. endered and began
his fifteen-year term in Biibid in July,
1910
Grays Worked For Him.
It was through the efforts of the At
lanta Grays. headed by Captain Will
liam c. Massey, combined with the aid
Of Spanish American war veterans and
members of the Fifth regiment, that
Pendleton finally was freed. Captain
Massey gave out a statement today,
authorized by the parents of Pendleton.
that the former officer had been set
free on July 10, this year, though for
certain reasons the news of the pardon
had been withheld until Pendleton had
left the islands.
Penheton was offered his transpor-
tation home, but proudly refused it, as
/ it was of the lowest class.
Il have three times crossed the Pa
cifc as an officer and a gentleman" he
said. Il will wait until l can go home
in the same manner"
His friends gave him transportation
from the islands to Shanghai. where he
ecured a good position. During his
freedom on bond Pendleton had become
an expert in railroad construction work

British Ambassador Says Rejection ot

New York.-James Bryce, the British
ambassador, told the committee arrapg.
ing for the celebration OF the centenary
OF peace between English-speaking peo.
pie that nearly all wars had been duo
to human passions, and dwelt on how
much better it was to celebrate the wis.
dom which had ended a war and avoid
any subsequent conflict rather than the
Want OF skill and wisdom which made
wars possible.
The ambassador described what had
been accomplished during his official stay
in Washington to remove differences be.
tween the United States and Great Brit.
ain and to avoid differences in the future
He reviewed the three arbitrations and
several treaties leading to u settlement
OF the Canadian boundary dispute; the
New Foundland fisheries question; the
matter OF the use Of the waters on the
boundary, and minor points long at is.
sue, and continued:
"All these treaties furnish an admira-
BILE illustration Of the dictum onse deIiy.
cred by Mr.. Root that where two nations
and governments desire to com to q
fair agreement it is always possible for
them to do so. With good will, every
thing can be accomplished"

Newark, n. J.-President-elect vii.
sons life again has been threatened by
a letter writer. The letter was mailed
i'll New York, received by the governors
secretary at Trenton and turned over to
the postal authorities.
The receipt of the second threatening
letter became known at the ~arraignment
of Jacob and Warren Dunn and Seeley
Davenport OF Wharton, the three So
called mo~untaineers, who were charged
with having sent Coy. Wilson, on No
ycmber II last, a letter demanding IS 900
under threat OF death.
Against Jacob Dunn, alleged author OF
the threatening letter, the government
made out a strong case, Commissioner
Stockton said.
Gov. Wilson, under subpoena, did not
attend the hearing, and it was said he
would not be required to do so, mas
much as the letter never reached him.
The second letter threatening the gov
ernor,s life was unsigned, and a dozen
or more secret service men and detec-
tiyes are seeking to learn the author.
1t is understood the missive did not
reach the governor, but was intercepted,
like the first one, by Mr.. Tunulty.
Many Of the secret service men and de-
t~ectives working on this case were pres
ent at the hearing. Whether the second
letter was the outgrowth of the first or
was connected with it in any way, Mr..
Lindabury declined to say.
Five. witnesses testified at the hearing.
They included t4g postmaster at Whar-
ton, the mail carrier who took the letter
from a rural free delivery box, the car
rier who sold Jacob Dunn three envel-
opes similar to the one containing the
letter, Francis A. Butler, IL postoffice in
spector, and Louis G. Beckham, a United
deputy marshal, who made the
Butler and Beckham both testi-
fed that Jacob Dunn admitted author
of the letter at first, but denied
written it when told that what
he aid might be used against him.
Jacob Dunn's defense is that he made
alleged statement under duress and
that he was not informed of his rights
before doing so.

Advance Aviation.

Washington,-The necessity of getting
army officers as expert military aviators
is emphasized in the annual report Of
Brig. Gen. James Allen, chief signal Of

large enough to provide an adequate aux.
