RUBBING 1T IN.

There is no question but what
President Wilson's stand against free
tolls for American coastwise vessels
through the Panama Canal is an
proved by all right-thinking citizens
who hold the preservation Of national
honor above everything else. but the
Presidents mistake was in constituting
his party duty in answer to the ap.
peal Of the suffragettes who called on
him recently, and falling back on the
Baltimore platform. IL has placed
him in a very contradictory position
with reference to the free tolls propo.
sition. In this case he refused TO an.
prove a matter the platform had omit.
ted. and condemns a proposition 10
which the platform committed the
party.
II was really unkind In Congress-
man Knowland. OF California. TO have
inserted in the Congressional Record
the other day extracts from a speech
President Wilson made in New Jer.
sey during the campaign Of 1912. ex.
tolling canal exemption for American
ships. In this same speech the Presi.
dent raised his voice in praise OF the
Baltimore platform, declaring that il
was not molasses to catch flies. and
that those who talk one way and vote
another are going TO be retired to pr.
vate life Really we do not see what
the Democrats in Congress are going
TO do with President Wilson. for this
incident points TO him as having com.
mitted a crime against party fealty.
K~nowland's tentative Indictment is
reinforced by the statement Of the
High Priest OF Democracy. William
Jennings Bryan. a man Who played
the biggest part I'm making the plat.
form: a man who violates the party
platform is a criminal. worse than
the nan who ombezzles money.

which has been a valiant organ of the
Progressive party. has come out
strong for cooperation between the
'Progressives and Republicans along
the lines laid down by the Monongaiia
plan. There is nothing" II says. lin
the resolution adopted at Charleston
'by the Republican State Committee
which would forbid the carrying out
of such a plan" The Mononealia
plan looks TO the u%nihcation of the
party on county and State tickets and
n reaiiirmation of the principles laid
snown in the Huntington platform.
Nv hich was the expressed faith OF the
Representatives of the united party As
sssembled in the State convention of
Al9l2. The reate majority of the
Spromises made in that platform have
tbeen fulfilled by the present admins

ihey can be redeemed. and that is by
Ehe election OF a Republican Iegisla.
-ture in support of the policies of the
Republican administration. With two
Legislative tickets in the field. the
democratic victory will be compare
lively easy.
The address Of the Republican state
Committee makes the carrying out
of the M|onongalia plan Of unihcation
possible. and relieves the Progress
'siyes OF any sensitive recession OF
their views. That address. with great
'clearness an dtruth. says: The great
majority Of the voters OF the Republi.
