THAT MANIFESTO.

The present member of Congress
from the Sixth District, through his
personal" Committee, has issued a
manifesto to the public. Of course
everybody is fully aware that the
Congressman himself wrote every
word of the screed, and it was mere
~ perfunctorily signed by the COM
mittee members.
The manifesto is Enthusiastically
Lindberghian. He claimed credit for
the change in the House Rules, max
ing it easier for an individual member
to obtain recognition.
In the first place it is just as diff
cult now as it ever was to obtain indi-
vidual recognition. The power form
erly vested in the Speaker has simply
been transferred to Oscar Under
wood, Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee.
In the second place, whatever rule
changes were made were determined
in the Democratic Caucus and they
would have been adopted whether the
Sixth District member had been ir
Washington or Afghanistan.
He claims great credit for keeping
the public informed of what is going
on by speeches and through letters
through the public press.
The Congressman is a master OF

luittals, one disagreement, one case
where the Judge directed a verdict
for the defendant, and ONE CON-
lotion.
In all the other cases referred to as
CONVICTIONS" the defendants
plead guilty and without any trial
were sentenced by the Court, and it is
immaterial where the Judge saw fit
to send them. Is this not true?
You will, no doubt, be glad to cor
rect the Meeker County Editor who
has been misinformed as to the record
of the Attorney for the County of
Stearns, and you have ample time to
do SO before the election, as / feel
certain that you would not want th4
facts misrepresented to the voters of
Stearns County by an editor in an
other County.
Very respectfully,

WEBER, OF MARTY.

Louis Weber, of Marty, is a can
didate for register of deeds. His an
nouncement will be found on this
page. This spring he sold his bust
ness in Marty and bought house In
st. Cloud. He had not the least idea
of running for office until his friends
began to suggest it to him. For q
long time he absolutely refused to
run, but support came to him so unan-
imously and persistently that he was
just about compelled to enter the con-
test.
We made the acquaintance Of Mr.
Weber in his store at Marty some
years ago and it took but short time
to discover that he was man who
took an intelligent interest in public
affairs. We found also that he was a
man of wide experience, sound sense
and ability. We can recommend him
to the voters as entirely deserving OF
their support.
Mr.. Weber is a native of Michigan
but has lived in Stearns County fol-
fifty years. His parents settled on a
farm in Spring Hill when he was
about three years old. Later they
moved to Richmond and conducted a
hotel. When he was seventeen years
old he took three year normal
course. He put in his first year teach
ing in Missouri. Coming back to
Stearns he taught two years at Farm
ing; five years in Freeport, and
eleven years in the St. Mary's school
in ST. Cloud.
Mr.. Weber engaged in the general
merchandise business at Marty for
fourteen years and he made success
of that, the same as he did of teach
ing school. He is married and has
raised a family of eight children. He
has always done his duty as good
citizen and asks the taxpayers to sup
port him, knowing that his record
guarantees that he will be good and
faithful official.-Holdingford Adver-
tiser

Der of this committee supported the
National Republican candidates anl
at least half of them do not classify
themselves as Republicans at tho

In the Representative last lengthy

the addresses he has delivered during
the campaign has he said one good
word for the Republican party, or in
any way recommended the Republican
candidates on the state ticket for sup
port or even pledged them his indi-
vidual vote.
It is a matter of common knowledge
that no one was more indicative AMI
bitter against President Taft, both on
the stump and through the press, than
the representative from the Sixth dis
trict.
That the Representative has the in
alienable right to follow the course
he has, if he saw fit, no one can deny.
A man is only answerable for his pub
lie or private political action to his
own conscience, his constituency and
his God. Had the Representative filed
as a Progressive" or as an en-
dependent" which he really is, while
the judgment of his political action,
might have been rightly questioned,
no one could have legitimately crit
icized the honesty of his purpose, the
integrity of his action or the courage
of his convictions, but after following
the course he has, for him to file as a
Republican and swear he is Republi-
can and has affiliated with the Repub-
lican party, simply because the Re
publican is the dominant party and
there is magic in the word "Republi-
can" that spells victory, eliminates
every question of honesty, integrity
and courage and marks him as mere
time server, a place-seeker, one who
makes position the paramount issue.
No Republican, who is proud of the
Republican past and has faith in the
Republican future, can vote for such
a one and be true to himself and ia
his party.

left unguarded.
1t is pointed out that this order re-
ferred to the whole of Ireland.
General Paget telegraphed to the
war office on March 20 that all Off
GERS of the Fifth Royal Irish Ian
GERS, stationed in Dublin, had resign
cd with the exception of two. He said
he feared that the same conditions
prevailed among the officers of the
10th Queens Lancers stationed at the
Curragh, and that the men would re-
fuse to move.
That same evening General Paget
telegraphed to the war office that the
brigadier general and 81 officers of
the Third Cavalry brigade at Curragh
prefer TO accept dismissal if they are
ordered to the north"
Suspension from Duty
The war office replied to this dis
patch authorizing General Paget TO
suspend from duty any senior officers
who had rendered their designations
or lin any other manner had disputed
your authority. The designations of all
officers should be referred"
The war office also said that other
officers were being sent to relieve Brig
Gen. Hubert Cough, commander of the
Bro Cavalry Brigade and the COM
handing officers of the 9Th and 18th
I.ancers, who were ordered to proceed
TO London.
Gen. Coughs Statement
General Cough in reporting the feel
ing in his brigade as the result of a
communication from the war office
conveyed to him verbally by General
Sir Arthur Paget, says:
THE officers of my brigade are
unanimous in the opinion that further
information is essential before they
should be called upon at such short
notice to take decisions so vitality at
fecting their whole future and espe-
cially that a clear definition should be
given of the terms duty as ordered
and active operations in Ulster.
IF such duty consists in the main
tenance of order and preservation of
property all the officers, including my
SELF are prepared to carry out that
duty If, however, the duty involves
the initiation of of active military OPP
erations against Ulster the following
officers would respectfully and under
protest prefer to resign"
The names of Sc officers of the 3rd
Cavalry Brigade follow.
After an interview with Colonel See
ly, General Cough wrote to the war
Office that one of the first questions
asked by the officers would be:
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-03-26

I'm the event of the present Home
Rule for Ireland becoming law, can
VIC be called upon to enforce it upon
Ulster under the expression of main
tanning law and order?' This point
should be made quite clear Otherwise
there will be general misconceptions. "
In reply to this General Cough was
given a letter initiated by Colonel See
ly as secretary for war and by Field
Marshal Sir John French, in which he
was authorized to inform the officers
rs follows:
THE army council is satisfied that
the incident which has arisen in re-
gard to their designations was due to
a MISUNDERSTANDING"
The letter continues that it is the
duty of soldiers to obey commands for
the protection of life and property.
and in support of the civil power in
the event of disturbance, and the army
council is glad there never has been
and never will be any question of dis
obeying such orders. 1t continues;
''The government must retain its
right to use the forces of the crown
in Ireland or elsewhere to maintain
order and support the civil power in
the ordinary execution of their duty
but it has no intention whatever of
taking advantage of this right in or
der to crush political opposition to
the policy or the principles of the
Home Rule bill"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-03-26

Sir Edward Grey spoke even more
strongly. He said:
THE government is prepared at any
moment to use force to whatever ex-
tent is required to make the will OF
the country prevail. That is con-
tingency which cannot arise for long
time and we win still labor TO avoid
it."
Much of the oratory in the debate
in the House of Commons tonight con-
sisted of fiery denunciations of the
military aristocracy. The government
members were placated by today's
revelations. but there remains very
strong and outspoken dissatisfaction
with the affair.
All talk of a compromise on the
Home rule bill is for the time sus-
pended. The Conservatives hold that
recent events have shown that no
compromise is possible except on the
conditional exclusion of Ulster. The
Liberals say that there would be no
compromise hut surrender.
Colonel Seely's transfer to another
cabinet post is predicted and the an
nouncement and acceptance of the res
ignations of Gen. Paget and Gen.
Cough would be no SURPRISE.

fined there. Six lines of hose were

burst through the roof, the Oakland

CURED by troops in supporting the
civil power in protecting lives and
property when the police is unable to
hold its own.
Attempts have been made TO dis
suade the troops from obeying lawful
orders given to them when acting in
support of the civil power. These at
tempts have amounted to the claim
that officers and men of the army
could pick and choose between law
full and reasonable orders. saving they
would obey in one case and not in an
other
Continuing, that there had not been
another single case of lack of disci-
pline in this respect in the British
army, Colonel Seely says:
AT the same time, as views and
statements uttered in the press and
elsewhere made the position clear,
informed the general officers that
would hold each of them individually
responsible to see that there was no
conduct in their commands subver-
sive to discipline. / told them they
could let it be clearly understood that
any such conduct would be dealt with
under the Kings regulations.
IF any army officer should tender
his resignation, | told the generals
that they should ask for his reasons
and if he indicated that he desired
to choose which order he would obey
/ would submit to the King that the
officer should be removed from the
army"
Letter to Gen. Paget
This was followed by a letter. dated
March IA, from the war office to Gen
eral Sir Arthur Paget, commander-in-
chief in Ireland, in which Sir Arthur
was informed:
I'm consequence of reports received
by the government that attempts may
be made in various parts of Ireland
by evil disposed persons to obtain pos
session of arms and ammunition and
other government stores, it is con-
sidered advisable that you should at
once take such special precautions for
safeguarding the depots and other
places where arms and stores are kept
as you may think advisable.
TT appears that Armagh, Omagh,
Carrickfergus and Enniskillen are in
sufficiently guarded, being especially

Orders also were given to the officers
in command of barracks where arms
and ammunition were stored or locat-
ed that they would be held respon-
sible for the safety of that property
and that such places never should be

Review eff Circumstances
Leading to designations

1t can be seen from the correspond
ence between the war office and rht
army officers in Ireland which led to
the recent wholesale designations OF
commissions and reinstatements (madt
public today in the shape of a White
Paper. or official communication to the
Houses of ParliamenD that the war
office was informed early in December
last of the possibility of RESERVATIONS
of officers being presented in case the
political situation in regard to Ulster
came to a crisis. In consequence OF
this information Colonel John Seely,
the secretary of state for war, inter-
viewed the general officers in com
mand and explained to them that an
officer of the British army was entitled
to obey orders to shoot only in case
the order was a reasonable one UNI
der the circumstances.
Secretarys instructions
The secretary of war told them that
no one from a general down to
private, was entitled to use more force
than was required to maintain order
and the safety Of life and property.
He pointed out that no soldier could
shelter himself from the civil law be-
hind an order given by superior Of
fieer if that order was unreasonable
and outrageous. He continued:
IF, therefore, officers and men of
the British army have been led to
believe that there is possibility they
might be called upon to take outra-
geous action-for instance to massa-
ere a demonstration of Orangemen who
were causing no danger to the lives
of their neighbors-bad as were the
effects on discipline in the army, new
ertheless it was true that they were
in fact and in law justified in a refusal
to obey.
Outrageous Orders"
There never has been and is not
any intention, however. of giving out
rageous and illegal orders to troops.
THE law will be respected and must
be obeyed. What has now to be faced
is the possibility of action being re-

AGR EE MENT

New York, March 25.-Directors of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Co., in special meeting today,
unanimously approved of the agree
ment recently reached between Chair
man Howard Elliott and Attorney Gen

terms and conditions under which the
New Haven system is to disintegrate.
Chairman Elliott was authorized to
call a special meeting of the stock
holders in New Haven on April q,

will be taken. New Haven officials
believe that the compact with the gov
eminent will be ratified by a large
majority vote.
Within the next few days a pamph-

with the department of justice will be
mailed to every holder of New Haven

no provision has yet been made.
Gross earnings of the New Haven

215 per cent behind the correspond
ing period last year, very good show
ing, in the opinion OF Chairman Elliott
who referred to the recent severe
weather as a serious drawback in that
connection. Earnings of the various
trolley subsidiaries are running behind
about per cent.

GreatTriangle WaistFaCtoryFire

New York, March 25.-A city-wide
demonstration, extending from Brook
iyn to the Bronx and unique in that
1t commemorated not triumph but
d disaster, was held today on the tri-
ennial anniversary of the great Tri-
angle Waist factory fire in which 147
lives were lost. The ringing of gongs
in hundreds of factories brought forth
orderly streams of employees until the
streets in some streets took on a hol-
lday aspect. This colossal fire drill
which included most of the factories
and all the schools in the city, was
planned by Fire Commissioner Robert
Anderson. working in conjunction with
several safety organizations. In a
trper sense, it was not a commemora-
ton of the Triangle fire fire. but a
celebration of the progress in fire pre-
vention made since that time.
Commissioner Adamson, who invit-
cd Mayor Mitchell to review some of
the larger fire drills with him, visited
