THE ADJUSTABLE CANDIDATE.

Governor Wilson's speech Of acceptance Is admirable
1t is original in its treatment issues Of the
pagn am sure it will impress the country favorably.
William ]. Bryan. -, L.
The Baltimore platform Is obviously embarrass-
ment 1t Is Mr.. Bryans platform not Mr.. Wilson's. It
was drawn to fit Mr.. Bryan Candidate Wilson, .
1t would be preposterous absurdity Of politics to
pect Mr. Wilson to stand upon upon the whole of
The New York Times, the paper Of August Belmont.
You can take your choce-Mr. Bryans opinion,
if you are progressive Democrat Mr.. Belmonts, if
you are reactionary. Never before has Democracy
been favored with such an adjustable, reversible
candidate. He is like chameleon-assuming the
color Of his environments.
The Washington times., 1912-08-12
DEFENSE OF THE PANAMA CANAL BILL

British French, and many American papers de-
nounce the Panama canal tolls and Administration
measure as flat reputation of the Hay Pauncefote
treaty. On first consideration, it certainly looks like
just that. 1t is insisted that arbitration at The
Hague would surely result in our defeat; therefore,
We dare not arbtrate.
There two sides to this question, however.
very reasonable is made for the measure
that has passed. 1t may be summarized thus:
The treaty provides that vessels of war and COM
merce of all nations shall pass the canal on equal
terms.
Does all nations" include the United States?
First, as to war vessels The United States owns
navy that will the canal. 1t could not charge
itself with tolls on their passage. That would be
taking out of one pocket to put into another. OBJ
vousy, the treaty didn't intend to require tolls to
he collected against warships because it would
be absurdity.
To require that we build and operate the canal
to give free passage to other nations warships would
be equally absurd. Therefore it may be assumed
that we have the right to pass navy free,
but to charge tolls on all other nations warships.
From this logically develops another proposition.
The United States Government the ships Of the
Panama Railway and Steamship Company. These
are engaged in commerce. 1t is just absurd to
presume that the United States could charge tolls
naval pursuits. Therefore the Panama railroad ves-
Isels cannot be made to pay.
But for the Government to grant its own COM
mercial ships free tolls, while assessing charges
against all other American commercial ships, would
be equivalent to barring privately owned ships from
the business they could not pay tolls and compete.
Therefore it is impossible to believe we are bound
to require ANY American ships to pay tolls.
There has been serious proposal to have the
Government build great line of commercial YES
sells for operation through the canal That may yet
be done; and collection of tolls from them would be
just absurd like collection from the few vessels
now commercially operated by tine Government
AS to American coastwise shipping that is sui
geners, because foreign flags are barred from this
trade anyhow; foreign interest can be injured by
granting free tolls. Tine foreign protest must lodge
only against American vessels in foreign trade.
Here comes the question of subsidies. This
country pays none. Other governments pay them
Is it conceivable that Britain may pay subsidy
enough to offset the canal dues while we, paying
subsidies are barred from equaizing conditions BY
remittng the tolls of our ships? If so, then are
completely barred from using our canal, and are
providing it facility for all commerce excep
own. That is reductio ad absurdum that ever
the most abject apoogist for the Hay-Pauncefott
treaty would hardly insist upon.
There is, in brief, the in favor of the bill
bub. There is certainly much in il to justify mod
GRAFTON in condemning Congress for breach of in
/ tematonal faith.

The Only Way Left Open Is to Pass the Jones' Works
Bill Unamended.

The red tape of parliamentary procedure, coupled with
the indeensibe dlaorness of the District Committee and
the Rules Committee of the House, has resulted in leaving
but of action to those in the House who favor
immediate legislation to regulate the liquor traffic in the
District of Columbia, AND THAT IS TO PASS THE.
JONES-WORKS' BILL UNAMENDED.
During the last six days of the dying session any men,
but such motion inevitably shuts off all chance to amend
the bill and requires in addition wohirds vote it is
to be successful.
This of course would not be the if the Rules Com
mtee did not persist in its refusal to bring special rule
making the excise bill privileged The nmca attitude of
the Rules Committee to this legislation has been demon
sated and is apparently in keeping with that of the Dis
trct Committee which pigeonholed the Jones-Works bill
four months ago.
Stripped of its parliamentary ramifcaons and reduced
to plain analysis which may be understood by the lay
man, the tieup in the House affecting excise legislation is
just this:
The motion of Congressman Jackson to discharge the
Committee the District of Columbia from the further
consideration of the JonesWorks bill is futile because the
dSchage calendar has been out of commission for more
than year. There on that calendar eightyone
motions to discharge various committees. Mr. Jacksons
motion to take the excise bill from the District Committee
is No. Sand the motions must be called in order.
Consequently, Mr.. Jackson's motion has no chance
If it were possible to discharge the District Committee
the excise bill would be merely placed the calendar and
called up in its turn District day in the House
The Washington times., 1912-08-12

and after today the District Committee doesn't have an
other inning for twoweek during which period the House
probably will have adjourned.
Even the most enthusiastic supporter of the excise leg
islaon which is demanded by the Washington public,
therefore, find little comfort in the discharge notion
which Mr. Jackson has made in good faith
Expeden No. 2 is a motion to suspend the rules and
pass the BILL This motion is in order only the first and
third Mondays in each month If the movement succeeds
in obtaining recognition it might be made week hence
The following complications would ensue:
First if demanded the motion must be seconded by
majority of the House, passing through teers.
Second if majority favors the motion to suspend the
rules and consider the bi two-thrds vote is required to
pass it,
Third such motion carries with it the shutting off
of all amendments to the BILL There be intervening
motion amendments and the bill in question: word for
word and comma for comma must stand or fall as it is
and by tWo-thirdS vote.
Motions to suspend the rules are always in order during
the last six days of any session of Congress- and if the ad
vocaes of liquor legislation can obtain the necessary two
thirds vote and willing to have the bill enacted into law
as passed the Senate there is etope for action of some
sort at this session.
The cardinal principle of the rule permitting motions
to suspend the rules of the House is as follows:
l. No rule shall be suspended twohrds
of the members voting
Speaker entertain motion the
first and third Mondays
the first Monday 70 individuals the third
miees and during the last of session
2 All motions the shall, being
mied to the House. be seconded by majority by telers.
Of course, the House may do anything by unanimous
consent member is privileged to ask unanimous con-
The Washington times., 1912-08-12

sent to consider the excise bill, but the OBJ
lection of one member would block this plan.
The above analysis is the plain English
of the parliamentary situation which now
impedes the progress of excise legislation
in the House. 1t is queer state of af-
fairs, putting to rout all claims that the rules
of the House have been reformed"
1t demonstrates that the "power of COM
mittees" to stife legislation still exists; that
the individual member is practically without
recourse to bring from pigeonhole any
measure, no matter how meritorious; that
the majority of the House even is sometimes
impotent to consider legislation which that
majority wants
Two years ago the calendar to discharge
committees" was hailed as the panacea for
all the ills growing out of committee domina-
ton in the House. Members with pet bills
hastened to put on that calendar motions to
discharge various committees. The first dis
charge motion was filed April 26, 1914 1t
is still on the calendar, and since that date
eighty others have come to keep it company.
Congressman Jackson's motion to take
the excise bill from the District Committee
goes to the foot of the class-No. 80.
In evident fear that the "discharge calen-
dar" might become effective, the House last
January amended the rules so as to provide
that the discharge calendar shall not be called
on any Monday until the unanimous con-
sent calendar and all motions to suspend the
rules shall have been disposed Of"
This means that no member can be rec
ognized to move to discharge the committee
which has bill until dozens of unanimous
consent bills have been acted upon and until
motions to suspend the rules have taken
precedence. And any member knows that
the discharge calendar, standing third in
precedence, has slim chance on the first
and third Mondays of any month.
The prospective failure of excise legsla-
ton at this session is laid first at the door of
the House District Committee. When it
became apparent that the District Commit
tee purposed to sidestep liquor legislation
Congressman Hobson introduced a resolu-
ton making the Jones-Works bill privileged.
The Hobson resolution was referred to
the Rules Committee about six weeks ago.
That committee, too, was without quorum
for while, although one has been obtainable
Ilately. The Hobson resolution, however,
has not received consideration at the hands
of the committee.
The city of Washington has no power of
defense in its own hands. Its appeal to
Congress is on entirely different grounds
from the seeking of legislation by self-gov-
erned communities, and the appeal for liquor
Legislation should be considered on that
basis.
The only way left open for any form of
excise legislation before adjournment seems
to be to pass the Jones-Works bill as it came
from the Senate. The Times has repeatedly
voiced its judgment that the bill should be
amended, BUT THIS OPINION WAS
BASED ON THE IDEA THAT THE LIQ-
UOR INTERESTS SHOULD NOT OBJ

jeet to the white primary. With an
experience of four years of active SER
vice as alderman. / believe l have
sufficient knowledge of the city's af
