A NEW ISSUE in BRITISH Poll.

3 3 *
Recent developme in Great Brit
ain are bringing to the front an
issue which promises o.~oyershadoW
Home Rule, Welsh Disestablishment
and Plural Voting.
The English army. is differed by
aristocrats and majority Of the
members Of the House OF Commons
are representatives of the common
people. The officers Of the army are
threatening to disobey the orders OF
the present Liberal government and
that raises a question which dwarfs
all other political questions in that
country. n II 4 NJ b. 5.s
1t is scarcely believable that the
aristocrats of Great Britain will per
nit the officers. of the army to pro.
yoke conflict with the toiling mas:
ses Of that country. If they do, that
which happened across the channel
in France may be repeated. In France
tens Of thousands of the aristocratie
class lost their heads under the
guillotine's heavy knife.
In country where the people gov
ern, as they do in Great Britain, il
is treason for political party to en-
courage and advise a spirit Of mu
| tiny in the nations army and navy.
tIt does not seem possible that any
political party in any English speak
ing country will stand for such a pol
icy. 5i n III
For upwards Of seven years the
Torys have INDUCED in desperate pol
itics, and have brought their coun.
try to the threshold of a danger OF
the first magnitude, but it is not toe
late for them to turn back.
While it is fair to infer from the
speeches in the House Of Commons
that the foundations Of the British
throne are less secure at the present
time than they have been at any 9TH
er time in the past, 300 years, 1t is
also fair to assume that the present
troubles IN that country will be solv-
ed, and settled in some peacable and
orderly way, and that the crisis that
now looks as big as a mountain, will
in a few months shrink to the dimen-
lions of an anthill. .f.* 4, .5s

it cannot win under him, it cannot
win at all. That applies to 1916 nc.
less than to 1914. Every Democrat
who is fighting the President for the
profit of the coastwiseshipping mo-
nopoly is fighting for Democratic de-
feat and for Democratic disaster.
All the elements of opposition to
the President and his policies are on
the side of Democratic ascension.
This is their opportunity. If they
can split the Democratic party, they
see the way open to the repealf of
the Underwood-Simmons tariff. They
see the way open to the repeal of the
income tax. They see the way open
to the amendment Of the Banking
and Currency law for the benefit of
Wall street. They see the way open
to defeat the Administrations trust
Legislation and burke the Sherman
Antitrust law. They see the way OPP
en- to the undoing Of everything the
Wilson Administration has done. The,
see the way open to the restoration
Of Special Privilege and its re-estab-
lishment in power. s.
| All this sordid crew has wrapped
the American flag about it and In the
name of cash-register patriotism
is marching against the President,
Public opinion has been manufactured
| by. theHsam process by which Lem
uel sElyh Quigg used to accelerate it
for the profit Of the Metropolitan trac.
ton corruptionists. And this opinion
| is Haunted yby men who are tryingi to
turn lit into dollars and cents for
themselves. III /, n. n
The time Isl past when the Paha-
ma Canal Tolls bill can be judged
alone on its economic merits Sor
dement's. The. time is past when It
can be Judged alone on the issue of
treaty obligations. A new issue has
been created. Is the Democratic par.
| ty to be split by. the enemies of
Democratic principles? Is a Demo crat
| ic President to be repudiated because
he has kept the faith? Is the Demo-
cratic party! to drive itself out Of
power and sink back to the impotent
minority in which It'll has found itself
most OF the time since 1860? II
Nobody can decide this question *
cept the Democrats in Congress. The
President is not on trial. They are
on trial! If they pull him down, they
pull themselves down; they pull their
party down, and Dem cracy will wan
der in the wilderness for another six
teen years.
What answer, gentlemen of the
House and Senate?

IS Last Friday the President won a
mos notable victory. The question
before the House was the adoption

Speaker Cl lark, Congressman IN,

In the Senate the bill may be- de-
