1t be possible that under the lead of a
man sometimes called a southerner, the
democratic party is to become the party
that is stealing the power from the
states and giving 1t to the federal gov
eminent. and that the republican party,
under the lead of a Hughes or a Whit
man, is to become the states rightly
party and stop this stealing of power?' -
In closing his message he declared:
L have bowed my knee to no man or
set of men: if 1 create a favorable i'm

DEGREES WATER POWER BILL
Clifford Pinchot Says Shields Subst1'
tute Favors Monopolists.

Clifford Pinchot, president of the ma
tional conservation congress, has IS
sued a statement concerning the water
power bill which has been reported by
the Senate committee on commerce In
place of the Adamson water power Dill
in which he characterizes the substl-
tute as "the bill of the water power
monopolists" and declares that the ne shn1 hi,,
which President Wilson indorsed under
the name of the Adamson bill! ..
Mr.. Pinchot calls the substitute the
Shields BILL" inasmuch as senator
Shields reported it from the commit.
tee. He says, in part. in his statement:
The Shields bill does not require the
water power interests to pay Tor me
enormously valuable privileges Which
it proposes to give them, although the
Adamson bill, for which it Is substi-
tuted, does protect the public interest.
The Shields bill ostensibly provides for
a method of terminating water power
grants at the end of fifty years. AS
matter of fact, it appears to have been
carefully drawn so as to make 1t prac-
tfcaIIy impossible for the United states
to resume it's rights"

ment that oura, having forsaken pub
lie life and gone into seclusion, is
really more severely punished than he
could have been by the law, is more
sentimental than legal.
Says the Japan Times: The plain
fact is that the government has not
the heart to brand as criminal d
man who, as one OF its members. did
what he considered to be in its inter-
ests, -eyen to the extent of violating
the law of the land. The government
apparently considers that the offense
has been adequately and sincerely ex-
plated. But wescan scarcely see how
the government can asold very heat
ed discussion of this question in the
next session of the diet"
The warmth of the discussion
throughout the country on this ques-
ton is another proof of the striking
growth of the freedom of public polem-
les in japan, freedom that has come
from the west and is especially based
on American ideas.

Government Accused of Favor
itism in Condoning 0ffense
of Viscount 0ura
(By Associated Press. }


TOXIC, Japan.-The decision of the
Oura, the recent minister of home af-
fairs, whom a preliminary court de-
clared had contributed $4,000 for pur-
poses of bribery of members of parlia-
ment, has excited controversy
throughout Japan. =. =.
The controversy centers about Yu-
kio Ozaki, the minister of justice,
who frankly takes the responsibility
upon his own shoulders, and who
says:
'Viscount Oura was undoubtedly
guilty VI bribery but the act was
prompted not by any base or selfish
motive out solely and entirely by a
sincere desire to, carry out the govern
ment's policy, though in unconscious
disregard Of the principles of the cab
met In consideration of this and Of
the fact that the ex-minister is re-
pentant and has resigned all political
and public positions and has manifest
ed his intention not to interfere in
state politics for the rest of his life
we have decided to postpone prosecu-
ton
Criminal punishment has the dou-
BILE aim of preventing repetition of an
offense and of warning the public
against committing similar offenses.
Prosecution of the ex-minister is drop
ped not because he was member of
the nobility or the holder of a high
position but solely because we believe
the end of the criminal code has been
attained without subjecting him TO
punishment"
All Over Army Increase.
The same preliminary court which
found that Viscount Oura had distrib-
uted bribery money found four meLl-
bers and IA former members of the
house of representatives to be guilty
OF bribery The case centers about an
attempt to buy over members Of the
opposition groups and induce them to
vote for the governments project to
increase the army by two divisions.
That project was adopted by the last
session of the diet. The disclosure OF
bribery scandals and the subsequent
resignation Of Viscount Oura led to
the collapse of the entire Okuma min
istry. The cabinet later returned to
office in a reconstructed form,
The records of the preliminary court
show that Oura admitted that he had
given certain politicians various sums
of money but pleaded that he had
acted for the good Of the nation. Il
feared" testified Oura. that If the
proposed army expansion was rejected
it might create antagonism between
the army and navy and create cir
cumstances undesirable for the coun-
try. / thought it would be better for
the country to make the house accept
the governments bill even IL 1t were
necessary to expend money to accom-
plish that end" Oura continued by
saying that he had not intended to
bribe members of the house but mere
ly to use the money in defending the
government against attacks from the
opposition.
Cali Excuse Sentimental"
The opponents of the decision to
grant immunity to Oura contend that
the law should have been allowed to
run its course irrespective of the po-
sition or the so-called motives Of the
defendant. They declare that it is
miscarriage of justice to give freedom
to the briber and hold the bribed for
trial. They contend that the argu-
