TROUBLING OF
THE WATERS.

As had been fcarei, the action CT
the Presi ent in recon- l'ensing that
the Panama Canal act be SO amended
as not to allow the free passage Of
American vessels through the great
waterway, hes disturbed the harmony
Of the Democratic party. Without at
tempting to sit in judgment upon
this great issue, we can only say that
present conditions are to be regretted,
especially when it is remembered that
during the past year the President
and the organization which he repre-
sents have practically worked togeth-
CT with one accord.
Much uttered by the champions OF
both sides Of this controversy is hard
TO refute, AMI while many prefer 70
believe that Mr.. Wilson has given the
matter close study and is acting in
the interests Of the country, others
argue earnestly to show that the
United States has an unaoubted right
to do what it pleases with its own.
The great mass of the people look
upon diplomacy through a glass
darkly. There are many important is
sues that are, for the best reasons,
state secrets, which are kept from the
general public Mr. Wilson, as Pres
idcnt, is behind the scenes, am, ne
should know best how to act at this
crisis.
1t is SD to see that sore leaders
Of the Democratic party are making
themselves conspicuous in Genunci2-
tons of the President; yet believers
in free speech can see no reason wny
debate upon this momentous issue
should be limited, and their cry Of gag
rule is being repeated b. many VINO
are too prone to give horseback
opinions upon every issue, important
or otherwise.
Exciting scenes were prec!pltateo
in Congress yesterday when the great
est legislative battle yet undertaken
by President Wilson's administration
was begun on (; special rule III inc
House to limit debate and prohibit
amendment Of the administrations
proposal to repeal the provision Of the
,cana1 act. For two hours the rule
was alternately defenied an. attacked
in heated debate in the House.
Waen adjournment came, with az
hour Of debate on the rule left for
today, Speaker Champ Clark, who haU
rot yet announced his position on the
repeal policy, issued statement Wig
orously opposing the rule.
"Surely there is nothing sscrcd
about this repeal bill, and there is nc
reason for this mad rush" said til;
Sneakers statc5rent. 81 will not DC 4
marty to ramming such rule down the
Threats of members.
Representative Campbell is quot9
as saying:
"The old Americal eagle lined i t:
nest. with the; name of the BRITISH
lion Does the young American eagi!
tren1ble with fear when the British
lion only growls &c -,

sented to the governor tomorrow.
The jurors petition is not signed by
two of their number; one of the two
was out of town when his signature
was sought another declined to
make known his attitude The others
stated that their request was submit
ted without on our part desire to i'm
peach or impugn the verdict they
rendered.
In view of the new trial that has
been granted to Becker, the petition
sets forth. the interests Of justice
may require that the execution of
judgment of death pronounced upon
these defendants upon our verdict be
stayed until there be final determine
ton of the guilt or innocence of the
said Charles Becker or other disposi-
tion of the case"
Every possibility of error should be
eliminated. the jurors pointed out
hence their request for reprieve or
a stay Ito the end that if anything
hereafter may occur or any informa-
ton be procured or during the trial
of Charles Becker be brought to light
which may rebound to the benefit of
the defendants, they may have an OPP
portunity at the proper time to avail
themselves of such development or
revelation
H. Lionel Keyngel of counsel for
the gunner, will present the petition
together with a 26-page typewritten
statement making references to the
opinions of the Court of Appeals in
the Becker case and various petitions
emong them-one by the gunmeL
"Dago Frank" Cirofci, Lefty Louie"
Rosenberg. Henry Horowtiz CGyp
the Blood') and Jacob Seidenshner,
C'Whitey Lewis').
The four request first, that the
Judgment of death be committed ito
such terms of Imprisonment as to the
governor may seem Just and proper"
and. second. that the execution Of
judgment be stayed and reprieves be
granted until after the final determi-
nation of the indictment" against Bee
