May Suppress News of
DeutschlGnd'S Departure

Washington, July IL. - If news of
the departure of the German under
water liner Deutschland can be re-
garded as military information of
value to Germany's enemies, the

State Department officials to-day
admitted they were considering the
question of how to protect the gov
ernment's neutrality in the matter.

Washington, D. c., July 12.-Presi-
dent Wilson to-day agreed to accept
the resignation of Major-General
George Goethals as governor of the
Panama canal at an early date, to be
fixed by the general. General Goethals
called at the White House and again
urged his desire to resign the gov
ernorship and retire from the active
list of the army now that his work of
building the canal had been finished.
Later the President authorized the
statement that he reluctantly had left
the matter in General Goethals' hands.
Colonel Chester Harding, now engi-
neer of maintenance in the canal zone,
probably will be appointed governor.
General Goethals was promoted and
given the right to retire by an act of
Congress. He planned to give up his
work several months ago, but with
drew his request because of renewed
slides in the canal. He now thinks the
danger of serious slides has been elini-
mated and does not expect to return to
Panama

TARIFF.

We affirm our belief In the doctrine
of a tariff for the purpose Of providing
sufficient revenue for the operation OF
the government economically admin
istered. and unreservedly indorse the
Underwood tariff law as truly ex-
employing that doctrine. We recog-
nize. that tariff rates are necessarily
subject to change to meet changing
conditions in the worlds production
and trade. The events of the last
two years have brought about many
nomentous changes In some respects
their effects are yet conjectural and
wait to be disclosed, particularly in
regard to our foreign trade.
Two years of a war which has
directly involved most of the chief
industrial nations Of the world, and
which has indirectly affected the
life and industry of all nations. are
bringing about economic changes
more varied and far-reaching than
the world has ever before experienced.
In order to ascertain just what those
changes may be the democratic Con-
gress is providing for a non-partisan
tariff commission to make impartial
and thorough study of every eco
nomic fact that may throw light
either upon our past or upon our
future fiscal policy with regard to
the imposition of taxes on imports
or with regard to the changed and
changing conditions under which our
trade is carried on. We cordially
indorse this timely proposal and de-
clare ourselves in sympathy with
the principle and purpose OF. shap-
ing legisla ton within that field
in accordance with clearly estab-
lished facts rather than in accord
ance with trade demands of selfish
interests or upon information pro-
vided largely. If not exclusively. by
them.

PREPAREDNESS.

Along with the proof of our char
acter as a nation must go the proof
Of our power to play the part that
legitimately belongs to us. The
people of the United States love
peace. They respect the rights and
covet the friendship of all other ma
tions. They desire neither any addi-
tional territory nor any advantage
which cannot be peacefully gained
by their skill. their industry or
their enterprise. but they insist
upon having absolute freedom of ma
tional life aud policy. and feel that
they owe II to themselves and to the
role OF spirited independence. which
II is their sole ambition to play, that
they Should render themselves Sc
cure against the hazard of interfer-
ence from any quarter, and should
be able to protect their rights upon
the seas or in any part of the world.
We therefore favor the mainte-
nance of an army fully adequate to
the requirements of order. OF safety
and of the protection of the nations
rights, the fullest development of
modern methods of seacoast defense
and the maintenance of an ade-
quate reserve of citizens trained TO
arms and prepared to safeguard the
people and territory of the United
States against any danger of hostile
action which may Unexpectedly
arise. and a fixed policy for the con-
tinuous development of navy
worthy to support the great naval
traditions OF the United States and
fully equal to the international
tasks which the United States hopes
and expects to take a part in per-
forming. The plans and enactments
of the present Congress afford sub
stantial proof of our purpose in this
eXigent matter.

AMER1CAN1sM.

The part that the United States
will play in the new day of inter-
national relationships which is now
upon US will depend upon our
preparation and our character.
The democratic party therefore rec
ognizes the assertion and trium-
phant demonstration of the in
divisibility and coherent strength of
the nation. as the supreme is
sue of this day. in which the whole
world faces the crisis of manifold
change. 1t summons all men, of
whatever origin or creed, who would
count themselves Americans. to
join in making clear to all the
world the unity and consequent
power of America.
This Is an issue of patriotism. To
taint it with partisanship would
be to defile 1t. In this day of test
America must show itself, not a ma
tion of partisans, but a nation Of
patriots. There is gathered here in
America the best of the blood. the
whole world. the elements of a
great race and a magnificent So
ciety to be melted into a mighty
and splendid nation.
Whoever. actuated by the purpose
to promote the interest Of a for
eign power in disregard of our own
country's welfare or to injure this
government in its foreign relations
or cripple or destroy its industries
at home, and whoever by arousing
prejudices Of a racial. religious or
other nature creates discord and
strife among our people SO as to
obstruct the wholesome process Of
unification. is faithless to the trust
which the privileges of citizenship
repose in him and dfsloyal to his
country.
We therefore. condemn as sub
versive of this nations unity and
integrity. and as destructive of its
welfare, the activities and designs
of every group or organization, po-
litical or otherwise, that has for its
object the advancement of the inter-
est of foreign power, whether
such object IL promoted by intimi-

RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT.

We indorse the administration of
Woodrow Wilson. 1t speaks for It.

sound democratic policy at home

We challenge comparison of our
record. our keeping of pledges and
our constructive legislation. with
those Of any party Of any time.
We found our country hampered
by special privilege. a vicious tariff.
obsolete banking laws and an in
elastic currency. Our foreign af-
fairs were dominated by commercial
interests for their selfish ends. The
republican party, despite repeated
pledges, was impotent to correct
abuses which n had fostered. Under
our administration. under leader
ship which has never faltered,
these abuses have been corrected
and our people have been freed
therefrom.
Our archaic banking and currency
system, prolific of panic and dis

tions-long the refuge of the money
trust-has been supplanted by the
federal reserve act. true democracy

We have created a federal trade

Fair competition in business is now
assured.

peace conditions and fair TO the con-
sumner and to the producer. We have
adjusted the burdens of taxation SO
that swollen incomes bear their
equitable share. Our revenues have
stress. and will largely exceed the ex-
penditures for the current fiscal year.
We have lifted human labor from
the category Of commodities. and have
secured to the workingman the right
Of voluntary association for his pro-
lection and welfare. We have pro-
tected the rights of the laborer
against the unwarranted Issuance Of
writs of Injunction. and have guaran-
