Defend Self Again

Alarmed Over Amy Further
Threatened Prosecutions
Associated Press Dispatch.

Los Angeles, Calf, Aug. -
Clarence S. Darrow, noted ChlcaGo
LAWYER. who was found mot guilty
today. on the charge Of having
bribed a prospective juror, in the
Mcnamara case, must stand trial on
a second indictmpnt according to
an announcement by District Attor-
ney Fredericks, after the acquittal.
AS he sat in modest cafe, few
blocks from the scene Of his notable
trial and vindication, this afternoon,
and finding more relish in the
pursual of scores of kilograms and
in his luncheon, Darrow apparently
was unconcerned over the statement
of the prosecutor.
Although declining TO discuss the
threatened second ordeal, he said
he was too happy TO feel alarm over
anything.
The second charge is of bribing
Juror Balm.

A direct outcome Of the abrupt
ending last November of the trial OF
J. b. Mcnamara for the dynamiting
of the Los Angeles Times building,
the trial of Clarence S. Darrow,
chief of counsel for the Mcnamara
brothers, was the result of an in
dlctment by the county grand jury
for the alleged bribery of George n,
Lockwood, prospective jVror in the
Mcnamara case.
On November 28, 1911, Bert Fl.
Franklin, chief of detectives Of the

THE THIRD TERM ISSUE.

Notwithstanding the wrath Of Mr..
Roosevelts supporters at any objection
to him as third term candidate, the
third term question is not only legih-
mate but seriously important issue III
the campaign. Passing over Mr..
ROOsevelt's own promise on election
night Of 1904 and this years third cup
Of coffee" Interpretation Of it TO meet
present exigencies, there remains the
grave question Of allowing any man,
however great or popular, to carry
away the country from traditional
safeguards Of republican virtue.
For more than century no political
ideal has been more firmly fixed in the
minds Of the American people than the
no-third-term rule. It is now said that
the feeling is directed only against
three terms in continuity and is based
on the fact that President may use
his office to perpetuate himself in
power. But that objection is equally
valid against second term, which
was heartily approved by the fathers
with whom the anti-third term doc
trine arose. They wished TO preserve
the self-governing energy Of the people
and their fertility in craftsmanship
against dependence on any one man,
"leSt one good custom should corrupt
the world" They feared the desporlsm
Of hero worship, and had no mind to
encourage any man to think that he
could so dominate the Republic as to
be President for eight years and then
hand over his power for term TO a
substitute and resume It again for one
or two more terms. Any such posi-
bility was too great stimulus to am
bition and too likely to lead to enerva-
ton Of citizenship.
Suppose Jefferson in 1912 had de-
clared that Madison, whom he had
chosen to succeed him, was unpopular
and a failure, and that the times called
for his return to power. Or suppose
that Jackson, after handing over the
Presidency TO Van Buren,. had in 1910
Cdliti Oll thC iPNAhO'ioNs " SNN Aii'i
aside and again rally to the cold
Hero" Would the austere republican
ism Of 1912 or 1910 have said that these
proposed third terms were ''non-con-
secutive" and have elected either Of
these idols of their timer Nobody who
knows the temper Of the American
people can for a moment believe 1t.
Neither is It possible TO conceive either
Of these men considering such n course
favorable to the preservation Of con-
stitutional liberty.
In 1880 it was proposed to give Gen
eral Grant "non-conSecutive" third
term. Did the tradition show itself
then to be confined to the continuous
service? On the contrary, public senu
ment was Overwhelmingly against the
third term as a dangerously excessive
dependence on one citizen and a con-
fession Of political atrophy. General
Grant felt this himself and, according
TO a recent article by William Hall,
wrote TO Senator Conkling on May 2,
1880, saying: There have been exigen-

"do not believe that the best interests
"of the country's good ever demanded
ga third term or ever will" That thlrd
term was n ''nOn-cOnsecutiye' third
term. and as late as 1880 the American
people would have none Of 1t.
Perhaps the wisdom Of Washington
and jefferson and Jackson and Grant
was folly. Perhaps, even II the feeling
was sound then. times have so changed
that 1t should no longer be regarded.
PERHAPS our constitutional liberty IS
now so impregnable, and our people
have been so transformed by foreign
immigration and made so much less
mercurial and more capable of clear
sighted self-government, that the old
safeguards which the fathers thought
essential to liberty are no longer neces-
sary. The partisans of a third term
are privileged to advocate that view.
But the burden of proof Is OH them
when they ask the country to depart
from the tradition Of a century. And
certainly they have no right to resent
discussion of the objections TO and dan
gers of an innovation involving most
vital questions OF the relation or a
democracy to its rulers.

MAY THE CONVICTION STAND!

It would be a misfortune to the CITY
If the Court Of Appeals should grant
the convicted murderer Becker, new
trial on any mere technical grounds.
If il should consider only whether
Becker had received justice or not
there would be no reversal. The over
whelming sentiment Of the community
is that he has been justly convicted
Whatever surprise is expressed is sur
prise that Justice has been so adequate
ly done. 1t is a painful fact that the
community does feel surprise Wheh
Justice does not bungle and miss Its
aim: when a man whom everybody
agrees to be guilty Is actually convict

strous crime was committed just be-
cause there fs reason for that feeling;
lust because the underworld was en-
boldened by the blunders Of justice
and believed that with the police cor
rupted and legal processes fabby and

less TO protect itself against brazen
assassination.
The contempt Of the System" for
law and courts was evident through
out the trial--in the confidence Of the
murderer that he would escape; In tile
production of the usual array of false
witnesses who always appear when
Justice comes to grips with the alliance
between corrupt policemen and pro-
tected criminals; in the hesitation OF
certain witnesses to cast their lot with
the state against the murderous band
Of grafters whom somehow they felt
to be unasSailable, and In a dozen other
ways that any one familiar with the
issue readily perceived. The convic-
ton strikes a stunning blow at the
system" It is the answer TO the
amazing belief that with the police
and the criminals working together
any crime was safe--a belief revealed
in the astounding disregard Of ordi-
nary criminal prudence by the Rosen-
thai assassins.

CHEEK.

When Governor Wilson in his
speeches asks What has Mr.. Taft
doneT and says that so far as he can
discover the nation has had no pilot
during the last four years, he newt
ably directs attention TO his own ap-
premiership in plotting ships Of state.
Who has kept New Jerseys ship
Of state-to use the Governors own
phrsseology-from "walIowing In the
trough of the sea" while the Gov
ernor has been running all over the
country soliciting support for his
Presidential boom? How many meas
ures Of Importance were lost, or are
now in danger Of being annulled, be-
cause Of his fragrant absenteeism?
While the President was securing the
adoption OF great acts for the protec-
ton Of life and limb on the. railroads
the Governor was opposing and defeat
ing a most equitable and benevolent
act for the prevention Of slaughter at
grade crossings by the abolition Of
those death traps. And the measures
on which the Governor most prides
himself have been in fact chiefly the
work Of Republican legislators. His
much Wanted Geran election law was
a joke when he had it introduced and
until the Republican Senate licked 1t
into shape. The corrupt practices act
was q Republican measure. The acts
providing for commission government
OF cities and counties are giving as
much dissatisfaction as satisfaction.
If ever a state was left to "wallow and
drift" for lack of real pilot, 1t has
been New Jersey under the administra-
ton Of Woodrow Wilson.

be offer, In case the nation should in

A POLICE SCANDAL.

The dismissal Of Lieutenant stanton,
who had discounted the administra-
ton Of the Police Department by his
testimony regarding the appointment
Of crooks and cutthroats to the force,
is one Of the most disgraceful Of recent
police occurrences. As the affair Is
sifted by Mr.. Buckner and the alder
manic committee, Lieutenant stanton
appears to be q man Of excellent repu-
tation and his aCcusers unworthy or
belief. Although both witnesses agreed
stOutly on the date when the lieutenant
was alleged to have approached one or
them seeking a bride and declared II
TO have been the date on which one OF
them was appointed to the police force,
it was developed that the day men
toned was Sunday. Now, one OF them
might have made n mistake in. the date,
but how could both have made the
same mistake without Encouragement?
Yet they declared that they had ap'
peared rs witnesses independently or

This kind Of case sufficed for the

THE REASON WHY
Lower Prices of American Goods in
Foreign Markets Explained.
> Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Critics Of the tariff are much exer-
cised over the fact that articles made IN
the United States are sold abroad cheaper
than to the home trade. They feel that
our manufacturers should not be allowed
to sell their goods to foreigners cheaper
than they do to our home consumers ana
insist that when they do this the tariff on
their products should be reduced at once
However, things from this country that
are not manufactured" are thus sold IN
the open markets OF the world. For In
stance, a Democratic tariff-condemninS
farmer will start out in the morning with
load Of tariff protected apples, and
when selling them from house to house
he would charge, say, 81 barrel. Tor no
must be reimbursed for the time he
spends in getting them TO the users Be
coming tired OF the job he would sell the
remainder of his load through commits
sion merchant for 50 barrel and the dit-
ference between the 81 as sold by the
grower at retail and the 81 70 received by
him at wholesale would be the cost OF
distribution An English buyer now APP
pears on the scene. representative OF
an export house, and purchases the re-
mainder Of his apples likewise for 81 10
barrel and they go TO foreign market
Our tariff critic Is now selling his protect
ed goods TO foreigners cheaper than ne
does TO the home consumer and therefore,
according to his own statement, the duty
or apples should be reduced at once.
II It is wrong TO send manufactured
products abroad so that such sales are
possible, II must be equally wrong thus TO
sell tariff protected apples, and therefore
II is the stern duty OF our Democratic
fruit grower TO urge the new and sup
posedly Democratic Congress to remove
the tariff on apples so as to punish HIM
self for making such sales The next
year he would naturally wonder why that
repeal did not prevent him from making
the same sort Of sale again, and what
would he do to punish himself for the
second time?
The critics plan to stop American man
ufacturers from making such sales by
cutting the protective tariff. Conversely
they should also make an endeavor TO
stop the free trade English manufactures
OF worsted and woollen goods from send
ing his clothes into this country at a
lower price than charged the English
dealer. No English manufacturer Is so
foolish as TO add any OF the expense OF
regular home marketing 10 the cost of
an order OF goods coming TO America. 1t
doesn't belong there; SO, Of course. he
does not put II In. knowing the American
distributing cost will be added here. Free
trade does not stop common sense In ex-
port trade.
The explanation Of the whole matter is
simple. The price charged for the arti-
Gle is based on the cost. The expense
OF home market distribution should not
enter into the cost OF an export sale.

In Albany Mr.. Sulzer denied that he

SHOOTING REvoLUTIoNIsTs.

The shooting of captured revolution
lists by the Mexican government at
Vera Cruz Is an unpleasant feature Of
an unpleasant episode. We have had
no occasion to do anything OF che sort
in this country within the memory OF
living men, nor have we often seen II
done elsewhere, and there is thus Il
distinct and unwelcome shocl; IN the
reminder that in n civilized country
death Is still the penalty for rebellion.
II IS much TO be hoped that IT will not
be found necessary to impose that
penalty in many cases in Mexico
The fact must be recognized, how
ever, that the revolutionists themselves
began the incident which has thus

did so voluntarily and intelligentiy.

their point OF view, therefore, there
can be no good reason TO complain Of
unexpected severity.

the sword shall perish by the sword

the shooting Of these revolutionists
shall discourage others from attempt

ASKS HELP FOR SERBS
Americans Urged to Contribute for
Sick and Wounded in Balkans.


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The attention OF the civilized
world is focused at present at the small
Balkan States, which have declared war
against their old enemy. the Turk. and II
Is perfectly fitting that the smallest and
one OF the bravest OF Balkan states, little
Montenegro, should be the first one to
open fire for the liberation OF the Chris
tlans. followed later by Bulgaria, Servia
and Greece.
These Balkan States, having common In
terests. are wagtng this holy war. not for
conquest or ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but for the
sole and only purpose OF delivering their
brothers and sisters from the tyranny
OF the Turkish yoke and forever ending
the domination OF the Christians by
MQslems.
No more can the Turkish promises for
reform be considered: the time Ia past for
that. Patience has been exhausted.
No one can doubt who has studied the
Eastern question that the domination or
Christian by Moslem is an anachronism,
and under II no peace, prosperity or hap
piness can ever be had by the Christian.
The Turkish rule cannot be mended; II
must be ended.
In behalf Of these prosecuted Chris
tians appeal is made TO the Americans
for sympathy and moral and financial
support.
A national committee OF the Serbs was
recently organized under tho presidency
Of the distinguished professor In Columbia
University. NJ. 7. Pupin. whose object is
to solicit funds for the wounded, sick and
disabled, particularly in Servia and Mon
tenegro
OF the money subscribed $4,000 was

All contributions for this noble cause
will be thankfully received and acknowl-
edged by the undersigned.
