real or modify it; bu, if we pass this repeal bill control over our own canal, built or our own soil. with our oWil money is gone from us and our heirs. Forever and forever.
 As long as the river flows,
 As long as the heart 1Ias passions,
 As long as life has woes
 A second reason for the appeal as- signed by President Wilson is that the exemption of our coastwise trade frcm the payment of tolls is in plain con- travention to a treaty with Great Britain concerning the canal, concluded on No- Vember IS. 190l.' Of course the President believed that or he would not have said It, but he was mistaken. If l believed that I would vote with him, for I ani as tender and jealous of my country's as he is or as any other living man is even as tender and jealous as the gentIe- man from Texas CMr. Henry), the gentle man from Kentucky (Mr Sherley) and the gentleman from Pennsylvania tAIr Palmer, are, notwithstanding they are t-constituted custodians of the honor of the American republic and the conscience keepers of the American people
 Tt is painful perhaps presumptuous to disagree with these great international 1 jurists but it must be done The su-' preme court of the United States is sup- posed to know some law. In the case of Olsen vs Smith. reported in the one hun dred and ninety-fifth United States volume 332, at page 344. a case involving the very point involved in the exemption section of the Panama tolls law the court had the temerity to rule contrary to the opinion of my three learned friends aforesaid. Chief Justice White. then AIr Justice White, delivered the opinion of the court in these words:
 Nor is there merit in the conten- tion that, as the vessel in question was a British vessel coming from a foreign port, the state laws concerning pilotags are in conflict with a treaty between Great Britain and the United States pro- viding that no higher or other duties or charges shall be imposed in any port of the United States on British vessels than those payable in the same ports by yes sells of the United States Neither the exemption of coastwise steam vessels from pilotage resulting from the law of the United States nor any lawful exenp- ton of coastwise vessels created by the state law concerns vessels in the foreign trade, and therefore any such exemp- tions do not operate to produce a dis crimination against British vessels en- gagged in foreign trade and in favor of vessels of United States in such trade In substance the proposition but asserts that because by the law of the United States steam vessels in the coastwise trade have been exempt from pilotage regulations, therefore there si no power to subject vessels in foreign trade to pilotage regulations, even although such regulations apply without discrimination

eneroaeh upon the prerogatives of the others
 Under this system of checks and balances certain duties are devolved upon the President which he is sworn to discharge, and truth to tell, Pres ident Wilson shows no reluctance in discharging his duties and exercising his powers to the utmost
 Leadership Has Its Limitations
 When he was elected governor of New Jersey he declared that he had been elected leader of the people of that state When he was elected Pres ident he declared that he had become ipso facto, leader of the people of the United States. In both declarations he was correct, but even leadership has it's limitations.
 q am willing to follow where he leads so long as he is in the White House and so long as he does not ask us to repudiate a plain platform dec laration.
 Under our system the national con vention is the grand inquest of a po- litical party. the highest authority for the declaration of party principles, higher than President or congressional caucuses; indeed, higher than Presi- dent and congressional caucuses com bined
 The fathers also deVOlVed upon Con gress certain duties which we are sworn to discharge faithfully and well, duties which we cannot shrk not fail to dis charge without Identification and the condemnation of the people and of our own consciences.
 ''The President discharges his duties. The question is, have we the wisdom the courage. and the patriotism to dis charge ours? If not we should make way for men imbued with the spirit of 76. to the end that may transmit our priceless heritage of liberty to our children and out children's children un- impaired.
 Free Tolls Declaration
 "The declaration in favor of free tolls for our coastwse trade was writ large in the Baltimore platform. It is in these words
 We favor the exemption from toll of American shipping engaged in coastwise trade passing through the canal.
 !" We also favor legisla tion forbdding the use of the Panama canal by ships owned or controlled by railroad carriers engaged in transportation competitive with the canal
 "The proponents of the repeal at first with far more zeal than discretion as- serted that that plank was inserted in the platform surreptitiopsly and without any consideration. But that would have who were on the platform committee particularly the Il men on the subconi- mttee which reported the tolls plan to the full committee-refused to rest under that false and foolish charge and told the truth about it in self-defense and the truth is the tolls plank was intro- duced in the usual way and was fully

 who stand for American rights as against British domination are assailed for bolt ing the President Mecriful God! What an idiotic phrase I have heard of men bolting platforms and of bolting nominees but whoever heard before of anybody bolt ing man in office?
 We are denounced by the putocratic World as bolters because we stand by the platform. which surely is an astound- ing way to bolt.

POLITICAL REFERENCES
 TO BALTIMORE CONVENTION

How can forget performance which nobody else in America seems able to forget, including the New York World? It, along with every editor in America who hopes to be ambassador minister plenipotentiary, consul general, or to hold some other fat and juicy job, has been en- deaVortng to place me in antagonism to the President ever since the election. These papers declare that I am opposing this surrender to Great Britain as an open ing gun for my campaign for President in 1916. It may surprise these obseouious eourtters to know that l never hinted to any human being that 1 would be d pres idential candidate in 1916; and that l am not a candidate
 Consequently their islander has been gEatuitous mental degradation
 Tt will surprise these limber- cled Incense swingers still more to know what have uniformly told those who have suggested my candidacy in 1916, and it is lhis, If President Wilson makes sue cess Of his administration he will be re- nominated and re-elected In 1916. but if he makes failure, which God forbid, the domination will not be worth having
 I never entertained the slightest i'll NIL toward the President about the Balti- more convention. I wish him well I did all l could to elect him. far more than some of those who so vociferously and luisomely praise now. and for whom. Geep down in his heart, he must enter tam supreme contempl. l have stead- lastly supported him until we are called upon to bolt the platform. l absolutely refuse to do any such thing
 one more word on this head. I do not believe that the fact that 1 led on 29 ballots at Baltimore. receiving clear majority on nine and that l got a ma 1orlty of over 300 GOO over the President In primary election where he and I com peted precludes me from discharging my duty or exercising my rights as a repre- sentative in Congress and as speaker Of tie House to stand up for America against Great Britain.

| discussed-not only discussed. but amend ed and agreed to in it's amended form l by the full committee and then by the whole convention.
 We went to the people on that platform containing the free tolls plank; headed by President Wilson himself; We all indorsed it; standing on 1t we appealed to the voters of the land for their support; and they, re- spending to our Macedonian cry for help, enabled us to sweep the land from sea to sea by amazing major - ities in the electoral college. And now 1t is proposed that we reward their faith in us and their support of us by repudiating one of the blanks of that platform on which we achieved that astounding victory, a plank so clear that there could be no misunderstand- ing about it, no possible misconstruc- ton of 1t. I refuse absolutely to be a party to any such performance. Tell 1t not in Gath, proclaim 1t not in the streets of Ascalon that the democratic party will not keep faith with a con fiding public.
 Will Not Buy Peace
 We most earnestly desire peace with all nations; we will buy peace from none. In the memorable words of the immortal Pinckney, millions for de- AtHSt put not one cent w nen We were a feeble folk, with only five or six millions of people and with very little wealth, the high souled Jeffer- son scornfully refused to pay tribute to the pirates of the Barbary coast and though a lifelong lover of peace, sent American men of war to shell them out of their holes.
 Now. being the richest and most powerful nation on the globe, with a poulation of 100,000,000 souls-the very flower of the human race-we are asked to grant to Great Britain, whom We defied and defeated in our infancy, and whom we defied again and defeat ed again in our early youth in the war of 1Sl2-properly called our second war of independence'-conc grounded in injustice and humiliating in aracter-claims for which conces- sions had been abandoned by Great Britain until Senator Elihu Root made speech upholding the contentious of that foreign power-contentions which had been flatly rejected by the President of the United States and his Secretary of State. There is no tale in the Arab ian Nights or even in Munchausen so utterly incredible as that historic fact. Why should we grant Great Britain demand which she had abandoned prior to that widely bruited senatorial speech? No sufficient reason has ever been vouchsafed to Us and none ever will be, because it is an impossibility in nature. Yes, we desire peace with all nations. but 1t is the sort of peace which Disraeli boasted he returned with from the congress of Berlin to London. peace with honor, for se- curing which he was made an earl and further distinguished by the gar

 POLITICAL PUNISHMENT

Finally, the New York World sa vs that l am to be defeated for speaker as punishment for bolting the President So be it, the World tried to beat me for re-election to the speakershp, but never theless l received every vote in the dem ocratic caucus. At that rate I would te older than Methuselah before it will Gefeat me
 The New York Sun practically nom mates the gentleman from Kentucky tMr Sherley) for spaaker Here is it's exact language:
 Reports have it that already the little leaders" '-
 Now I resent for my distinguished Trends the title of little leaders,, thev are big-bore leaders; but the Sun says:
 Reports have it that already the little leaders have decided that Repre- sentative Carter Glass of Virginia wou1d De good man for floor leader, and that Representative Swager Sherley of Ken lucky would make an ideal speaker
 'Ehe strange part of that paragraph is that 1t makes no mention of my valuable vehement and vociferous friend from Texas (Alr. Henry) for the speakership Tor the Sun must know that he has had ms eagle eye on the sbeakership for lol tfese many years. It seems to be that the Sun has dealt him the most unkindest cut of all by emitting him from the lists.
 Kentucky has furnished many speakers-among the greatest of them all Henry Clay, Harry of the Vest The Mill Boy of the Slashes,' who. through his long career of mingled victory and defeat was followed by d great multitude of Americans who loved him with the intensity and en. of the old guard for Ma poleon

ter. In his famous first inaugural, formulating the democratic creed, Thomas Jefferson puts the same idea in these words, familiar to us all:
 Peace, commerce and honest friend skip with all nations, entangling allian- crs with none.'
 We want war with no nation, but rather than surrender our right to our complete sovereignty over ever square foot of our globe-encircling domain We will cheerfully and codrageously face q world in arms.
 Presidents Request Amazing
 "The amazing request of the President fer the repeal. like the peace of God, passeth all understanding. If he has any reasons which are not utterly untenable and which impelled to make the request, he has not vouchsafed them to Us as a bCdy, or, so far as I am informed, to any member of the House. If he has adequate reasons and did not deem it prudent to make them known to the world at large he could have communi- cated them to us in a secret session. With all due difference to the President, 1t seems to me that we are entitled to those reasons before bolting a democratic platform which generally is considered an indefensible, an extra hazardous per fcrmance, frequently fatal in it's results
 Tn his message one reason assigned by the President was in these words:
 That exemption constitutes a mis- taken economic policy from every point of view
 'If it is a mistaken economic policy now was it not mistaken economic during the campaign of 1912. when we all. under the leadership of the President himself, indorsed it is part of the dem ocratic creed, on which we appealed for votes? If so why did the President in- dorse it then? It cannot be that a proposition which was good before the ele ction can be so awfully bad after the election.
 But 1t is. not mistaken economic policy. If so Is not our policy from the very beginning of shutting ali foreign ships out of our coastwise trade also a mistaken economic policy?' Do not our rules of charging foreign vessels for wharfage, dockage. pilotage and so forth, while charging our own vessels no fees, or smaller fees also constitute a mis- taken economic policy if the President is correct? In short is not anything we can do to give own people any economic advantage whatsoever in the race for commercial supremacy a mis- taken economic policy?' Most assuredly the mistaken economic policy reasons of the President is untenable and fades away before the stubborn facts of our history.
 As that is disputed point why not amend this bill so as to continue the present law with the exemption section for two years or suspend 1t for two years? By amending the bill either way We control the situation. If the exemp-s tion from tolls should turn out to be a mistaken economic policy we can re-

Some of them have said things about me which they will regret when their fever cools down. but 1 pass them by. The gentleman from Texas tMr Henry) and the gentleman rom Kentucky (Mr. Sherley) became extremely heated because I exercised the right which they reserve to thenn- selves that is, of voting as 1t seemed to me was right.

Refers to Henry


 Tt has been often wondered why this marvellous man was not elected speak CT on his first day of service in the House Some months ago l searched 1t out. For years the British had been committing gross outrages upon our ships and seamen and the American people rose in protest against it. The l administration was not disposed to 1 force redress So in 1911 Henry Clay l in the prime of his splendid powers. came over the mountains loudly et.- manding that the wrongs and outyages on our shipping and our sailors be re dressed. The people were with him. the House was with him, and he was triumphantly elected. He is one of the immortals.
 'I have this to say The fact that am making this fight for our plat form pledges may end my public ca Ter. There are many things worse than being defeated for Congress or defeat ed for the akership or even worse than to be defeated for the presidency and one of them is to repudiate the platform on which you are elected
 q can be happy without the presi- dency I can be happy without the speakership The happiest hours of my congressional life were spent on the floor of the House engaging freely in the parliamentary struggles great and small, which rage in this large and energetic body. If my constituents who have stood by me with unshaken ff- fidelity should retire me to private life, I can still be happy in the love and affection of my wife and children, in the society of my books, and in cul- tivating flowers and trees
 Will Leave Good Name
 "One thing dead sure, when 1 do go out of public life, whether next year or 20 years hence, it will be with my integrity unimpaired and myself-re- spect intact. l will not leave my chil- dren much property, but l will leave them the rich legacy of a good name which King Solomon says is more pre- cious than rubies
 why have the plutocratic World and others of its kind made these false statements, these base insinuations these ugly threats? To bully and brow beat me into helping to do an un- American thing-an utterly unjustifi- able thing-a thing which will excite scorn and derison of the civilized world. It cannot be done. I have sense enough to know my duty and courage

No Grounds for CongratuIation


 "There has been much felicitation among the supporters of this bill about their tremendous victory on the adoption of the rule When it Is remembered that the majority was only 2S on tne rule and that a change of 15 votes would have defeated 1t in House with IA democratic majority, the grounds for their self congratula- tons are hard to discover When Pyrrhus, King of Epirus was walking over battlefield whereon he had won a hard fought victory and observed the number of dead and wounded among his own soldiers. he mournfully ex- claimed:
 Another such victory and we are un- done.'
 'To whom does the Panama canal be- long, anyway? To the United States of America. We built it at the enormous cost of S400 100000. We built it on American soil. We have fortified it; we will con trol it. In order to get a chance to build it we created a republic.
 For whose benefit did we build it? Prj- marily for our own, secondarily for the worlds benefit.
 Why did We build it? To secure chean water freight rates.
 ''Who fought the building of the canal for 15 long, wearisome years? The trans continental railroads.
 Who would be the chief benefi- ciaries of this repeal bill? The same transcontinental railroads-the Can adian Pacific and the Tehuantepec Ma tional railway heading the list. It would be many millions of dollars in their capacious pockets annually To do thing to enable them to hold up their old rates is altruistic generosity run mad and an outrage on the Amer ican people. I refuse to indorse any such programme.
 One of the wisest things the fathers old was to distribute the powers of government among three departments Legislative, judicial and executive and they endeavored to so arrange things that no one department should
