C0RTELY0U AND MADDEN
GETTING RATHER RAW
tBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Former Post
master General Cortelyou and Edwin c.
Madden, once his third assistant, but
now representing the Lewis Publishing
company, of st. Louis, engaged in a
lively colloquy before the house commit
tee on expenditures in the postoffice de-
partment today when the cross-examina-
ton of Mr.. Cortelyou on the Lewis case
was resumed.
The disagreement that existed between
the former postmaster general and Mr..
Madden in the action in the debarring
of the publication in the mail precipitat-
ed the verbal clash. Mr.. Cortelyou said
there was certain circumstances sur
rounding the administration of Mr.. Mad
denis Office that had aroused his sus-
picion.
Did not 1 ask that the Lewis contro-
versy be taken out of myhands?" inter-
jected Mr.. Madden.
II think So" replied Cortelyou."
Il made that request because I felt
that it was intended to give the Lewis
company a raw DEAL" exclaimed Madden.
The tilt was stopped by the chairman.
The discussion of advertising carried in
the Lewis publication brought out some
partisan exchanges between members of
the committee.

SENATOR LODGE OPPOSES
THE RECALL OF JUDGES
fRx Associated Press.l

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 13.-Sen-
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachu-
sets, in a speech last night at the an
nual banuet of the Lincoln Centennial
association, assailed the initiative and
referendum and recall of judges.
Il take the stand that the adoption
Of a compulsory initiative and refer
endum means the destruction of rep
resentative government" said the sem
ator. The cry for this is based on the
plea for progressiveness Progress
does not necessarily indicate anything
good. Further than this, legislation by
direct vote is an old system. 1t has
been tried and has failed. The plan
was familiar to the Greeks. The de-
velopment of representative government
has been due to the English-speaking
people.
"In England, in carly days, judges
held their offices at the will of the
king. 1t was against this very sys-
tenn that the makers of the declaration
of independence revolted in their
phrases relative to judges. A judge is
on the bench to do justice between man
and man. Make him fearful of the
will of a fretful and ever-changing vot-
ing constituency and see how long a
condition like that would last"

that under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty,

opinion is, however. that the first method

In this manner Secretary Stimson dis
cussed the question of American prefer
ment in Panama tolls before the COM
mttec.
Mr.. Stimson urged moderate tolls, de-
claring the first purpose of the canal was
the development of commerce, and that
reimbursement for cost of construction
should be deferred.
Mr.. Stimson said he would keep legis-
lation for the encouragement of Ameri-
cam shipping apart from Panama canal
legislation, and would not operate gov
ernment-owned steamships on the canal.
The pressure brought to bear by the
country for lower rates, if the govern
ment operated the steamships, would be
tremendous.
