CLARK ADDRESS

ants are actuated by the same high,
courageous. and patriotic motives by
which he believes himself to be moved.
Motives unquestioned
Il have never for one moment en-
tered the opinion that President Will
son is actuated by other than the
highest patriotic motives. / do not
believe that President Wilson has ever
entertained any other opinion as to
the conduct of those of us who find
it necessary to differ with him on this
measure.
President Wilson does not desire a
breach in the Democratic party I do
not desire a breach in the Democratic
party, and there is no breach in the
Democratic party. would scorn to
believe that President Wilson counte-
hances for one moment the efforts OF
some of the jackal press to represent
that we are seeking to disrupt tho
Democratic party. The President is
too big a. man not to desire that this
great question should be fought on it's
merits. free from personalities. which
can do no good and may do much
harm. The President has too high
an idea of the duties of a public serv-
ant to desire members to do other
than vote their conscientious convic-
tons. With most of those who have
asserted that l am seeking to disrupt
the party the wish is father to the
thought.

Wilson's Stand

1.-The President differs from the judg-

like understanding. He is convinced that
the statute as it now stands does con-
travene our solemn obligation and
should therefore be repealed So beiev
ing he does the only thing that an honor.

ton could do: he asks us to reconsider
our action in view of his conviction that
we have violated a pledge

Monroe Doctrine Abandoned

THE repeal means the practical aban-
donment of the Monroe doctrine which
we forced into the code of the interna-
tional law and which the American peo-
pie will maintain at all hazards. That is
the only proposition they ever agreed
upon; and the reason they agreed upon
ii was that it was a genuine American
announcement, one to warm the cookies
of the heart of every true American be-
twixt the two seas 1t was the doctrine
of self defence. Touch that doctrine and
the bristles of the American people rise
instantly. Those who assert that the

Legal Opinions
TT is painful, perhaps presumptuous,
to disagree with these three treat inter-
national jurists, but it must be done"
IF we have entered into an engage
ment which forbids us TO manage our
own affairs, then we must abide by it.,
however foolish or unnecessary that en-
gagement may have been. But have we?
Here opinions-honest opinions-differ;
and, mind you, not only American. but
British opinions. His Majesty's govern
ment is quite certain now that exemption
of toll on our coastwise traffic violates
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but II was
very far from certain when its accredited
representative wrote to our secretary OF
state as late as July, 1912, that II the
trade should be so regulated as to make
1t certain that only bonafde coastwise
traffic which Is reserved for United
States vessels would be benefited by
this exemption, 1t may be that no objec-
ton could be taken. So far as our own
best judges are concerned, 1t is, l be-
lievs, quite safe to say that, with the
exception of the learned senior senator
from New York and our former highly
respected ambassador, Mr.. Choate, the
weight of recognized legal opinion of
the highest merit from Mr.. Olney. Mr.,
Taft. Mr.. Knox and. to my mind, though
I would make no invidious distinctions,
most important by far of all from the
present chief justice of the United States
in a precisely similar case is practically
unanimous to the effect that neither le-
gally in broad sense, nor technically
in a narrow application. does this treaty
forbid US to regulate the transportation
of our own goods in our own ships
through our own canal between our own
ports

Mistaken Policy?

mistaken Poiicy!
In his message one reason assigned
by the President was in these words;
That exemption constitutes mis-
taken economic policy from either
point of view
If it is a mistaken economic policy
now. was it not "a mistaken economic
policy during the campaign of 1912
when we all under the lead of the
President himself, Endorsed it as part
of the Democratic creed on which we
appealed for votes? If so. why did the
President indorse it then? 1t cannot be
that proposition which was good be-
fore the election can be so awfully
bad after the election.
But it is not a mistaken economic
policy If so, is not our policy from
the very beginning of shutting all for
eign ships out of our coastwise trade
alos mistaken economic policy?'
Do not our rules of charging foreign
vessels for wharfage, dockage and
pilotage while charging our own YES
sells no fees or smaller fees constitute
a mistaken economic policy if the
President is correct? In short, if he is
correct is not anything we can do to
vantage whatsoever in the race for
commercial supremacy a mistaken
economic policy?
Most assuredly the mistaken eco
nomic policy reason of the President
is untenable and fades away before
the stubborn facts of our history.
LAS that is a disputed point, Why
not amend this bill so as to continue
the present law with the exemption
section for two years or suspend it
for two years? BY amending the bill
either way we control the situation.
If the exemption from tolls should
turn out to be a mistaken econimic
policy We can repeal or modify it,;
but If we pass this repeal bill control
over our own canal. built on our own
soil with our own money, it is gone
from us and our heirs forever
"A second reason for the repeal as
signed by President Wilson is that
the exemption of our coastwise trade
from the payment of tolls is in plain
contravention of the treaty with
Great Britain concerning the canal,

That one young man with a club

The call resulted in young Paske's
sprinting for two blocks to elUde the
officers and after RZepka had fired at
him twice with his revolver, he crawl
ed under the front steps of a neigh
boris home. He was removed by AID
of a clothes pole.
IT was alleged that young PaSke
had invited his relatives TO attend a
party at his home. In the course OF
the evenings entertainment most OF
them-s0 goes the story of the OFF,
cers-became intoxicated and refused
10 leave the Paske home. About l
o'clock in the morning young Paske
is alleged to have lost patience and
started to clean out the place with a
club.
1t was then that Mrs. Paske sent in
the riot call.
Paske was arraigned in city court
W ednesday morning upon charges or
assault and battery and upon the
mothers refusal TO prosecute, the case
was dismissed.

mother. I'VE had to get rid of those
