Fairness Illustrated

Speaking of the policy OF the adminis-
tration toward the Latin-American ma
tions. Secretary Bryan said
THE President has by speech and act
illustrated his conception of fairness. He
is prepared to give American enterprises
every proper encouragement, but know
ing that commercial intercourse rests for
its value as well as for its permanence
upon mutual advantage. he will insist
that American business men shall carry
into the countries to the south of us the
highest conception Of honor and good
faith and that in their dealings they
shall give dollars worth of service for
each dollar that they collect as compen-
sation.
There should be intellectual exchange
between the American republics as well
as an exchange of commodities. part
of that increasing stream of travel that
has fertilzed the old world should be
diverted to the south. Especially should
our instructors be urged to give some of
the vacations to study of institutions
conditions and possibilities of the repub-
lies of Central and South America
In conclusion Secretary Bryan said that
in proportion as we'll follow Ambassador
DaGamas advice for mutual intellectual
as well as commercial advancement. I'VE
shall contribute to each others advance
ment and hasten the coming of the das
when our highest rivalry will be that OF
honorable effort to see which can hold
highest the torch that lights all to higher

SENATE TAXES Up
KERN RESOLUTION
Right of Governor to Estab-
lish Military Zone Dis
cussed at Length

at
Washington. MAY ts@fhe Senate rs
tened for an hour and a half today to a
discussion of the right of West Virginia s
governor to esta blish a military zone in
his state, to set up martial law there and
to say that prisoners brought before the
military tribunal created by him should
be tried by it instead of in the civil
courts. Senator Kern's resolution for an
Investigation OF conditions in the West
Virginia coal fields, which brought forth
the argument, failed once more to come

the leaders of the fight agreeing that it
be laid aside temporarily that debate on
the question OF tariff hearings might be
continued and brought to an end as soon
as possible The resolution remains the
Unfinished business before the Senate and
will come up automatically again at the
rext session.
"MOther Jones' Present
When consideration of the resolution
was resumed, Mother Jones and
company of West Virginia labor union
officials occupied seats in the Senate gal
lery and followed closely the argument
made by Senator Goff, who engaged in
spirited arga.nent with senator Borah.
author of the original resolution of in
euiry into the West Virginia situation in
tioduced at the last SESSION.
The discussion concerned the authority
OF the governor of West Virginia to is
sue an order declaring marital Jaw. which
closed the ,iYi courts and substituted
therefor courtmartial. Senator Goff main
tanned that this act was upheld by pre-
vIous decisions of the supreme court of
The United States and the supreme court
of Pennsylvania.
s'If in such cases" Senator Borah de-
clared "the governor of the state can
close the doors Of the courts and deny
the rRht of srial by jury, and we, the
United states, are forced to sit idly ~
and see it proceed, we become Mexican
ized in IS hours.
"If there Is Il state of insulrection,"
senator Gofr replied the governor has
the authority to put the whole state un-
der martial law with commander in
chief to control it by his own will. That
is law of war.
.Rut suppose there is no state of insur-

Pleads for Stronger Rela-

New York, May 15-TalSing up the
thought expressed by Ambassador Da-
CANA of Brazil, tonight at the dinner
of the Pan-Ameriean society of the Uni
ted States that "only those can under
stand each other who are led into in
vestgation by sympathetic interest,"" Sec
retary of State William ]. Bryan ad-
vanced the idea of actual and continu-
Gus contact with the people of the south
and central American republics as the
best means of strengthening our relations
with these countries.
The, suggestion made by Ambassador
DaGama that travel and investigation of
the countries to the south would draw
them nearer to the United States in bonds
of commerce and friendship likewise
prompted Secretary Bryan to express the
opinion that the canal zone should be
made a meeting place for those who
would acquaint themselves with the peo-
pies and ways of other American ma
tions-a clearing house where intellectual
exchanges can be made

Guests at Dinner

Secretary Bryan and the ambassadors

dinner Besides Amba ssador DaGama
and Secretary Bryan, the other speaker
was Talcott Williams, director of the
school of journalism at Columbia uni

AS an evidence of the increasing de-
sire on the part of the people of this
country to understand the peoples and
conditions existing in the South Ameri-
can countries, Secretary Bryan cited the
fact that there already was a marked
Increase in the study of Spanish by stu

is one of the most rapidly growing of

The Governors Veto.

In view of the explanation made
by Gov. GoldsDorough last even
ing as to why he did not veto
the Price-Campbell oyster bill, which
was passed at the 1912 session of
the Maryland Legislature, the fol-
lowing section from the State Con-
stitution, defining the Governor S
veto power, is interesting:
Sec. II. To guard against hasty
or partial legislation and encroach-
ments Of the Legislative Depart
ment upon the coordinate, Execu-
tive and Judicial Departments. ev-
cry Bill which shall have passed the
House of Delegates, and the SEN
ate, shall, before it becomes a law,
be presented to the Governor of
the State; If he approve he shall
sign it, but if he shall return it
with his objections to the House in
which it originated, which House
shall enter the objections at large
on its Journals and proceed to re-
consider the Bill; if, after such re-
consideration, three-fifths of the
members elected to that House shall
pass the Bill, it shall be sent with
the objections to the other House
by which it shall likewise be re-
considered, and if it pass by three
flfths of the members elected to
That House, it shall become a law;
but in all such cases the votes of
both Houses shall be determined by
yeas and nays. and the names of
the persons voting for and against
the Bill shall be entered on the
Journal of each House, respectively.
If any bill shall not be returned by
the Governor within six DAYS (Sun-
days excepted), after it shall have
been presented to him, the same
shall be law in like manner as
If he signed it, unless the General
Assembly shall, by adjournment, pre-
vent its return, in which case 1T
shall not be a law.
The further fact that out of
S52 measures passed by the Leg
islature at the session of 1912, the
Governor found it all right to veto
81 of them, including bills of all
kinds, one of which was the ex-
emption of the waters of Somerset
county from the provisions of the
oyster law, would indicate that it
would not have been stretching his
veto power to have vetoed this bill,
which he admits deprives thousands
of the citizens of the State of
their rights.
