What Are Democrats to Do When
Their Leaders Sell Out TO
the Republicans?
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE.)

What was the attitude of the candidate.
woodrow Wilson, toward 'our pledges?"
In speech made in New jersey, on Au-
gust 9TH, 1912, candidate Wilson said
"Our platform as not moozasSes to catch
fzies
1t means business It means what it saws.
1t is the utterance of earnest, honest men
q0h0 attend to do business along those lines"
What was the attitude of the eminent
Democratic leader who has made million
dollars lecturlng on Jesus Christ?
Mr.. Bryan in his speech before the legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania, May 10, 1913, said
"A representative who secures office on
platform pledges and then betrays the people
who elected him, IS a criminal, worse than
any embezzler of money"
Of such a criminal representative, Mr..
Bryan said
"He ought to resign, and let some man take
his place whose conscience does not revolt
against Keeping PLATFORM Pledges"
Thus Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan both put
themselves on record, publicly, in regard to
the binding obligation Of platform pledges
The next question is
What a0ere those platform pledges?
They are contained in the Democratic
national platform made at Baltimore, in July
1912
Without numbering this editorial with too
much copied matter, I will briefly quote the
leading pledges in the PLATFORM on qOhich the
Democratic leaders acere giver full control Of
every branch of the Governments:
G.) owe declare it to be fundamental
principle Of the Democratic party that the
Federal Government has no right or power
to impose or collect tariff duties except for
the purpose of revenue"
eve appeal to the Anee95can people to sap
oo0rf an ooIn Jo9,ou,oI fnn fooa;H fnu ooo,o3,o
onzy."
(2.) "a private monopoly is indefensibe
and intoerable"
owe therefore favor the rigorous enforce
naemt of the criminal, as we'll as the civil law
against Trusts and Trust officials, and demand
the enactment of such additional legislation
as may be necessary to make 1t impossible for
q pylUate monopoly to epist in the United
States"
Our Democratic leaders denounced the Re-
publican administration for it's failure to en-
force the criminal laws against the Rookie
fellers, Armours, Guggenheims, Dukes and
Ryans, the grand law-breakers of the Stand
ard Oil and Tobacco Trusts!
(3) The Income taX-Which everybody
understood was to be made heavier as the net
incomes grew in size, and was to raise sub
St0a1ti0I sum out of our milhonaires.

taxation, through the lavish appropriations
of recent Republican Congresses"

" q COH0eHTt tN6 pTeSe7t noetbO0S OF de-
posting Government funds IN q fen favored
banks."
(7) Rural Credits-that is a system of
Government loans to the farmers in order
that they might borrow public money at low
rate of interest, and on a long term Of credit.
Such were "our pledges" They were
made to be kept when in Office"
They were not "molasses to catch flies"
They were the ''utterance of earnest, honest
men," who meant business.
So much for the preachment, while candi-
date Wilson and others were seeking your
votes.
What about the performance, after you
put them in office?
You haze been betrayed, all nz07aq the Nno
The Democratic leaders were secretly sold
out to the Republican Interests, and the Gov
eminent of the Democrats has been a feast
for the Trusts.
The Azd15cb bill has been made into lar,
and the Repu6llc0-Deno0crGtjc Money Trust
enthr0ned.
The Government funds have remained in
few favored banks, and the distress of locali-
ties has got no relief.
Emergency currency has been hurredly
made by the hundreds of millions Of dollars,
and all of it has been given to few favored
banks
The Rural Credits promised the farmers
have been denied them, when they most needed
it, and that one of "our pledges" has been
shamelessly broken.
Every cry of distress has been heard by this
Democratic administration, encept the cru
that aoent up from the section qohere the
Democratic party has no competition for
VOtes.
The President confesses that he fooled the
I 49,
with the leaders of the Negro Republicans.
Hence he appoints black men to positions of
authority over white people.
The profgate waste of public money by
the Republicans has been outdone by the
Democrats.
They squandered so much more cash than
the Government possessed that they are using
the war in Europe as an excuse for new taxes
in America
They are turning up their trousers IN
Washington because 1t IS raining IN London!
The high cost of living has been left where
the Republican tariff placed it. The Demo
cratic tariff lowered the cost Of rGa0 material
to the manufacturer. but protected him in his
home market monopoly of the manufactured
product.
For example, wool is free to the manu-
facturer, but blankets and clothing made
abroad can't come into markets and compete
with our woollen manufacturers
Wheat can come into our country from all
parts of the world, without paying any
license fee at the custom house: but flour is
denied that privilege
Thus the farmer who raises wheat on high
priced land, with high-priced labor and with
Harvester Trust machinery, has to compete
with Canadian and South American growers,
who pay one-third less for the same machin-
cry, one-half less for the land, and three
fourths less for the labor

The Feud in Mexico.

The prospect of reconciling the Con

almost hopeless. 1t Is just as well for
the Administration to be prepared for
the complications OF another civil war.

jerks reflected American opinion when
he interpreted the ultimatum to Ger
many to mean that Japan would not
attempt to seize Kiao-chow for herself.
Professor jerks did not deal with the
question that Japan may eventually de-
eide to take over the lease of China to
Germany upon the assumption that faith
would be kept II the intention were
made clear that the territory was to be
restored to China upon the expiration
OF the lease. Apparently he holds that
this would be n hair splitting evasion
OF the moral obligation assumed by
Japan. and in effect violation OF the
solemn agreement to respect the in
tegrlty Of China, to which Japan Is n
party. SO frequently has Count OKUMA
disclaimed for Japan any design upon
the territory Of China that It may he
assumed that he would not take issue
with Professor jerks. But as public
opinion in Japan may demand that by
way OF compensation for expenditure
and losses incurred in the war the Gov

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: One
OF your correspondents. Mr.. Charles Vein,

the speech of Mr.. Speaker Clark delivered
In Congress advocating the annexation OF
Canada was about as representative of
the sentiment OF the United States on that
question as Bernhardi's book THE Next

ment
Following Mr. Clarks speech the press
or this country was full of discussion OF
the subject, and there was loud and fire.

trine.
WIN Mr.. Vein inform your readers
where there can be found in the German
press or in any German publication prior
to the outbreak OF the war any protesta-
ton against Bernhardl's doctrine? II has
frequently been said by Germans of late
that Bernhardl was Joke and n back

IS the German newspaper or publication
which actually said so.

Secretary Garrison and the Powe,
OF Congress.

1t is truly satisfactory to have Secre-
tary GARRISON personal assurance that
his attitude toward Congressional In
vestIgation OF the conditions and needs
OF national defence Is very different
from what was inferred from published
reports OF his talk on the subject. IN
a letter to THE Sun he defines his po-
sition carefully and places himself on
safe ground. He was understood as
desiring to limit virtually TO official de-
partmental communications the infor-
ma ton afforded to Congress or lts COM
mittees. 1t appears that all he de-
sired was to prevent army officers from
volunteering 10 give their views and
also to prevent such views from being
mistaken for expressions OF the policy
Of the War Department.
Mr. GARRISON wish 10 keep depart
mental communications entirely dis
tinct from personal opinions or theo
Administration advocates should b.
kept clear and apart from everything
else in the minds of Congressman and
Of the public. All proper precautions
should be taken 10 this end. 1t IL not
altogether plain that this dscrimina-
tion should necessarily bar officers from
Offering their views 10 Congress An
army officer discussing points In his
profession j. generally understood to h.
speaking for himself only: indeed. 1t IL
usually because of some difference from
departmental ideas that he speaks at
all, and he is apt 10 make the difference
quite plain in Il courteous way. But
perhaps. the point Of officers volunteer
ing Ia talk is not one Of great practical
Importance. As Mr. GARRISON points
out. Congress has unlimited power in
Snmmoning them, and II any one has
the country 1t is never hard 10 get
himself suhppnaed
The wrong impression regarding Sec
rotary GARRrsoN's attitude has been IN
no small part due to President WILSON'S
reported ironical comment on Repre-
sentative GARDENERS move for general
discussion OF the defence question /.
namely. that Il would be good mental
exercise" Mr.. GARDNER is not the only
newspaper reader who considered that
this indicated Indifference II not opposl-
ton to an Investigation OF the military
needs Of the country Not unnaturally
pronouncements Of the Secretary which
on the surface fell in with such an at
titude were interpreted in that sense
and as representing the hostile attitude
Of the Administration.
In his letter, which we publish in a
neighborlng column. Mr.. GARRISON
shows that his position is entirely cor.
rect. 1t has reference to department
etiquette rather than TO the policy Of
the Government. Mr.. GARRISON has
taken his duties seriously and has won
high esteem since the beginning of the
Administration for his sanity and mod
Grafton, and for the practical quality
OF his direction of army affairs. Vt
would have been dscouragng II this
energetic gentleman and valuable pub
lie servant had slipped into any aber-
rations In regard to his relations with
the Congress, and 1t is reassuring 20
find that such Is not the case.

OKUMA sent "a message" to the people
Of the United States in the course Of
which he said:
"As Premier OF Japan I have stated
and now again state to the people OF
America and of the world, that Japan
has no Interior motive, no desire to Sc
cure more territory. no thought OF de-
prlvng China or other peoples OF any
thing which they may now possess. My
Government and my people have given
their word and their pledge, which will

keeps promises"
Reading the ultimatum TO Germany
IN the light of this message to the
American people, 1t Is difficult to believe
that Japan medltates the occupation OF
