JANE adams ISSUES A PLEA
FOR WOODROW WILSON
Jane Adams, head of Hull House,
issues an eleventh-hour plea for Viii
son. 1t is in part as follows:
Gas the campaign has developed it
has become increasingly clear to me
that the much-discussed policies of
Pres. Wilson, both domestic and for
eign, have been the inevitable result
of the same underlying trend; re-
speCt for the convictions of the indi-
vidual and a determination to give
him full opportunity.
"In the industrial field it has been
established as a matter of law that
labor is not a mere commodity, that
seamen have the rights of other citi-
zens, that child laborers are entitled
to federal protection, governmental
employees to liberal compensation
laws, and that eight hours constitute
a normal working day. Pres. Wilson
has also appointed to the supreme
court a great champion of the legal
rights of labor.
with consistent concern for the
man at the bottom, the president has
insisted that the Mexicans should
have an opportunity to work out
their own political institutions, al
though their present revolutions, like
that of the French in '93, is compi-
Gated and prolonged by the attempt
to correct unjust laws.
pres. Wilson's recognition of the
Pan-American union has offered an
example of international action
which is not inconsistent with
sound nationaism and sanctions his
expressed hopes for a wider interna-
tional comfy"

Objection Long Disposed Of.

Any objection to granting citizenship
was long since disposed Of by decis-
ion of the Supreme Court of the Unite d
States. from which it was determined
that Porto Rico, although a corporated
territory. was not incorporated into the
United States, and further that it
would require an express declaration
Icy Congress to thus incorporate tho
territory as a part OF the nation. and
that until such declaration is made.
Congress may legislate without con-
stitutional restraint
After waiting ten years for action
by Congress representatives of the po-
litical parties in Porto Rico and of the
different organizations, social. political
and Industrial. appeared before the
committees of Congress and asked for
citizenship. Their different representa-
tives did not agree as to the many de-
tails Of an organic act. but all were
united for citizenship. Citizenship was
promised, and q bill making the grant
passed the House, but was not acted
upon hv the Senate. Many became dis
courag @d and expressed their belief
that citizenship never would be grant
ed. and thus arose the agitation for

In conclusion the I.okal AnZeiser eX-

can believe that the German govern

the United States. The whole history
of German American relations. in addi-
tioH to many other things. is against
such an assumption.

ancestors of the present generation
against the same England for whose
sake those beyond the ocean today are

bilty for the iamentable breach. if il
must come. can only be sought beyond
the ocean. For it stands beyond doubt
,hat the methods which we promised to

Sions.

we cannot allow the weapons at our
disposal to De wreStcd from our hands

to make Porto Rico self-sustainins
