LOSING HIS TEMPER

The Presidents speech at Des
Moines contained severe language,
which the reporters-probably inspired
thereto-promptly translated into an
attack, more or less personal, upon
Colonel Roosevelt. We shall not come
to the Colonel's defense. He is amply
able to attend to that himself. But we
a see in the incident the evidence of
Wilson'S political doom. He sees it,
too. And because he sees it, because
he realizes that his appeal to the peo-
pie has not met with the response ia
vorable to his own political future
which he had hoped to receive, he loses
his temper. No man conducting a win
ming fight ever gets angry. 1t is the
loser who "sees red" and starts in to
Grip and tear" The episode further
proves that Woodrow Wilson is not
the superman whom Tumulty and the
other idolaters of the White House
have set him up to be. He is rather

the highest bench. A few days before
the President took action it was re-
ported, seemingly on authority, that
the new justice would come from the
Middle West and would be a Democrat.
He comes, in fact, from New England
and he was not regarded as a good
enough Democrat to have ap ortfolio
in the cabinet when Mr.. Wilson took
office.
1t has been freely charged that this
appointment was made from consider
ations Of pure-or impure-polities.
We would like to think this charge
without foundation. But there is much
collateral evidence to support it. If
true, it means that, for the first time
since John Adams named the famous
- midnight judges" a century ago, our
highest tribunal has been made to
enough Democrat to have a portfolio

peration.

PLAYING HORSE WITH US

The announcement that the Turkish
admiralty will "assume'' responsible
ty for the sinking of the Persia is an
indication of the low estate in which
this administration is held by the Eu-
ropean belligerents. To think of a
Turkish submarine sinking anything
except itself is a joke. So is the per
formance of pushing Turkey forward
as the culprit. We can imagine the
ehuckles with which the Teutonie dip
lomats have framed up this sardonie
TT of humOr at our expense. The ad-
mission will call forth a ~''stern note,' -
of course. And when another ship 8
torpedoed we suppose it will be the
Bulgarians or the Albanians who will
take their place in the confessional and
admit that they did it.

ELIHU ROOT SOUNDS
KEYNOTE OF CAMPAIGN

The keynote of the coming Presiden.
tial campaign was sounded by Elihu
Root, in his speech as temporary chair
man of the New York Republican state
convention, in session Tuesday.
As an observer of political events,
in craftsmanship and diplomacy, Mr..
Root is without doubt the leading man
of the country, in any party. While 1T
seems hardly probable that he will
ever be President of the United States,
his Judgment will We be highly es-
teemed in the councils of his party.
After a eaustic review of the acts
and omissions of the Wilson admins
t%ration, in which he referred to its mis-
taken policies Oh numerous public
questions, and lack of policies on 9th
ers equally important, the speaker
concluded:
"But what are the people to expect
if the Republican party is restored TO
power7
''This much we can say now:
"They may expect with confidence
that their government will meet the
economic situation with which we must
deal Immediately upon the close of the
war, with a policy of moderate but
adequate protection to American indus
try, based upon asc~ertained and estab-
lished facts and inspired by sympathy
with all honest American enterprise
and a desire for the prosperity and
happiness of Americans of every call
ing and in every state.
"They may expect that the best pos
sible course for the preservation Of
peace will be followed by a foreign
policy which, with courtesy and friend
illness to all nations, is frank and fear
less and honest in its assertion of
American rights, and leaves no doubt
anywhere in the world of America
purpose and courage to protect and de
fend her Importance, her territory and
the lives of her citizens, under thez law
of nations. They may expect that their
government will stand for full and ade-
quate preparation by the American peo-
pie for their own defense

expression of regret. Among other
grounds of objection some senators claim
to have information that Colombia plans
to use the money to carry on an often
slve campaign against Venezuela over
the boundary dispute, and chreishes an
ambition to recover from Peru territory
now held on her southern border. A
connection is seen between this latter
situation and Secretary Lansings propos-
al to the Pan-American nations to Join in
an agreement for the arbitration of
boundary disputes and suppression of
shipments of munitions to revolutionaries
among them.
Although the Eicaraguan convention
will not go unopposed. the heavy guns of
the Republicans will be trained on the
Colombian treaty in a fight which prom
ises to revive the so-called Panama scan
dial and all the circumstances surrounding
the acquisition of the canal strip during
President Roosevelts administration. The
colonel himself has been active in oppo-
sition to the treaty.

rights of American citizens to enjoy the

clared emphatically in speech here. He
urged the support of the people of Kan

necessary.
When the President arrived in Topeka
the cheers. which greeted him were scat
tering-when he left Topeka thousands
roared a friendly farewell.
There is nothing you would be quicker
to blame me for than for neglecting to
safeguard the rights of Americans, no
matter where they might be in the
world" said the President. There are
perfectly clearly-marked rights guaran-
teed by international law which every
American is entitled to enjoy, and Amer
lea is not going to abide the habitual or
continued neglect of these rights.
1--WE have a right to send food to peace

war make it possible to do SO under the
ordinary rules of war. We have right
to supply them with our cotton to clothe
them. We have a right to supply them
with our manufactured products.

He spoke of the spirit shown in freeing

ARGUMENTS IN WERNER HORN
PROCEEDINGS HEARD BY THE
CIRCUIT COURT OF Appeals
Counsel for Horn Declares That the Attempt to Wreck s
at Vanceboro Was an Act of War and United
States Not Involved

Boston. Feb. 2.-The Federal circuit
court Of appeals today heard arguments
on the appeal in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings filed by Werner Horn, who was
indicted for illegally transporting dy-
Mantle in his attempt to blow up the
international bridge at Vancebore, Me-.
on Feb. ., 1915. Horn has been jail
here since his habeas corpus petition
was denied.
Joseph F. O'Connell. counsel for Horn
declared that the attempt to wreck the
bridge was an act of war performed
by a German officer and that no viola
ton of the laws of the United States
was involved. In his plea. Horn assert
ed that he had served IL years in the
18th Prussian regiment and also in the
Landwehr division Of the German army
since war was declared. His acts while
in this country. he claimed, were done
under his authority as an officer Of the
German army. His commission was
taken from him by the United States
officials after his arrest.
1.-The bridge at Vanceporo." Horn as
serted, was used by the British gov
eminent for the transportation of vast
stores of ammunition, implements of
war, fcodstuffs and other materials
used entirely by the British govern
ment in their effort to defeat the Ger
man army, Of which l am an officer"
Among the papers seized in Eng
land from Captain Franz Won Papen,
the military attache of the German
embassy at Washington. who was re-
called at the request Of this govern
ment, was one alleged to show that a
payment of money was made to Horn
by Won Papen.
District Attorney George w. San
derson for the government. contended
that 'ne only charge against Horn in
the Massachusetts federal court was
that he had unlawfully transported
dynamite. Horn was acting as a ci-
william. he said, in bringing the dyna-
mite into the state, unless the German
government saw fit to disavow the act.
The court took the case under ad-
visement.

everything we can do-upon US when |

force by which the right and majesty of
the United States are to be vindicated
and asserted"
Immediate Need
The President declared the need was
immediate and that action should be be-
gun within the present month.
II assure you there is not day to be
lost" he said. mot because there is any
special crisis. but because l do not know
"a hours ahead what will happen.
THE future does not depend upon
us, but upon commanders of ships and
of submarines and upon blockades and
upon many other men. big and little

"sneering at the number of notes sent
sent abroad by the government and ask
ing why doesn't the government act"
And in these same papers l have seen
editorials against the preparation to do
anything whatever effective. If these
notes are to be regarded. Is that the
temper of the United States? 1t may
be the temper of some editorial Off
Gals, but I know it is not the temper
of the people of the United States. A
wave Of applause swept over the gath
ering. A voice in the gallery cried
NO" and the crowd yelled again.
Munitions Unguarded
The President presented warning
that most Of the munition factories of
the United States were on the Atlantic
seaboard and that therefore the nation
must be ready to repel the first attack
in order to avoid disaster. The present
army the President was so small, he
did not even have enough soldiers to
station along the Mexican border to
prevent bandits from crossing the line.
II have even felt he said, like ask
ing Congress to encourage the recruiting
Of Texas Rangers. We are witnessing
a cataclysm and God only knows what
the issue shall be" was the way he
prefaced his conclusion, in which he
asked his audience to keep cool, but to
uphold the judgment of the government
in it's demands for a larger, more effec-
tive means of national defense.
