WASHINGTON. March S0-De-
claring thai he Can not break a
pledge to the people to follow Presi-
dent Wilson for canal tolls repeal"
and characterizing the Presidents
message to Congress as an "affront
of patriotism of every member Of
Congress-" Senator ]. K. Vardaman,
of Mississippi. has given out sig
nificant Interview. Among other
things he says:
Il was a member of the platform
committee of the Baltimore conven-
ton. This canal toll question was
considered carefully along with tha
other planks in the platform, and it
was given the mature thought of the
convention, as much as any other
plank in the platform. After the con-
vention the President discussed and
approved it, Mr.. Bryan approved 1t.
The American people have approved
it, and now to ask Democrats elected
on that platform to betray their con-
stituents and violate instructions
given by them in their votes at the
ballot box is asking a little more than
my sense of right and loyalty to my
constituents will permit me to do.
"Embezzler Of Power"
Il have no more respect for the in
tegrity Of man who will violate a
pledge made in the performance Of a
public function than have for man
who accepts a bride to control his Of
fetal conduct. I agree with Mr.. Bry-
an that a man who would win office
on platform and then violate it after
getting into Office is an embezzler Of
power and guilty of crime of as
great mo ! turpitude as a soldier who
would betray his country in time Of
war,
u can not follow the President in
this instance. When he says that we
ought to reverse our action without
raising the question whether we are
right or wrong, and 80 once more de-
serve our reputation for generosity
and the redemption Of every obliga-
ton without bubble or hesitation, I
would direct his attention to the fact
that we can not be true to ourselves.
true to the voters of America, true 10
our platform promises, and reverse
our action without first obtaining
consent from those who sent us here
and commissioned us to perform the
functions of our respective places. It
tint our province to be generous-we
are trustees Of great power and
function. and we can only be just
Position lndefensible.
THE Presidents position is abso-
iutely indefensible can understand
how men might dispute and differ on
the economic features Of the ques-
ton whether it be proper or expe-
dient to do this thing; but as to the
right Of the United States to control
this canal there can be no question.
The proposition to yield to the die

matter is pitifully humliatlng Until

of the evening was between the sailors

Giants would land his new club in a tie
for first place, because 1t was idle that
afternoon. He won that game in the
last inning with a two base hit. It
was sort of fuky hit at that, for
Bescher should have caught the ball,
but he showed indecision in going aft.

George Moriarty's Base Hi.
Several years ago when George Mo.
riarty was with the Yankees the De-
troit Tigers were fighting desperately
for the pennant in the final weeks Of
the race with the New York team en-
tirely out of the goin gand nothing to
gain or lost. Before one of the games
in series with New York Hughey
Jennings said incidentally 10 Moriarty:
How would you IKE to play with
Detroit"
I'D be stuck on it, replied Moriarty
Il think I'll put the trade through so
you can join the club tonight an
swered Jennings.
Later that afternoon, in the ninth in
ming of the game, Morihrty came up to
the bat for New York when base
hit would mean victory for the Yam
KEGS. If he made it he knew he might
be cheating himself out of share Of
the worlds series money. One contest
might decide the race. AT first he
thought of asking Griffith to let some
one hit for him and telling "Griff" that
he knew OF the contemplated trade.
Then he changed his mind and went to
the bat He made bare hit and beat
Detroit, although the Tigers finally
won the pennant by small margin.
There isn't anything in my baseball
career that / am so proud of as that
base hit said Moriarty afterward.
He was not traded to the Tigers
that year because of some hitch in the
deal, but went to Detroit the next sea-
SON. Whether he was passing up
share of the big money or not, he did
not know when he made that base lift,
but he did his best for the team whose
uniform he wore at the time.
