Recreation of Trade


reflective measures have been ta-
ken for the recreation of an Amer
lean merchant marine and the re-
vival of the American carrying trade
indispensable to our emancipation
from the control which the foreign
ers have so long exercised over the op-
portunities, the routes, and the meth
DDS of our commerce with other
countries.
"The Interstate Commerce commits
sion is about to be reorganized to
enable it to perform it's great and
important functions more promptly
and more efficiently.
For the farmers of the country
we have virtually created CONNER
cial credit, by means of the Federal
reserve act and the rural credits act.
They now have the standing of other
business men in the money market.
Child Labor Laws.
1--WE have effected the emancipa-
tion of the children of the country
by releasing them from hurtful labor
We have instituted system of ma
tional aid in the building of high
roads such as the country has been
feeling after for a century. We have
sought to equalize taxation by means
of an equitable income tax. We have
taken the steps that ought to have
been taken at the outset to open up
the resources of Alaska. We have
provided for national defense upon
scale never before seriously pro-
posed upon the responsibility of an
entire political party.
I'm foreign affairs we have been
guided by principles clearly conceiv-
ed and consistently lived up to.
1--WE have been neutral not only be-
cause it was the fixed and traditional
policy of the United States to stand
aloof from the politics of Europe and
because we had had no part either
of action or of policy in the influences
which brought on the present war,
but also because it was manifestly
our duty to prevent, if it were pos
sible, the indefinite extension of the
by that terrible conflict and seek to
serve mankind by reserving our
strength and our resources for the
anxious and difficult days of restora-
tion and healing which must follow,
when peace will have to build it's
house anew.
Rights Involved.
'The rights of our own citizens of
course became involved; that was in
evitable. Where they did this was
our guiding principle; that property
rights can be vindicated by claims
for damages, and no modern nation
can decline to arbitrate such claims;
but the fundamental rights Of hu-
manity cannot be. The loss of life
is irreparable. Neither can direct
violations of nations sovereignty
await vindication in suits for dam
ages. The nation that violates these
essential rights must expect to be
checked and called to account by di-
rect challenge and resistance. 1t at
once makes the quarrel in part our
own.
"While Europe was at war our
own continent, one of our own neigh
bors, was shaken by revolution. In
that matter, too, principle was plain
and it was imperative that we should
live up to if we were to deserve the
trust of any real partisan of the rights
as free men see it. We have pro-
fessed to believe, and we do believe,
that the people of small and weak
states have the right to be dealt with
exactly as the people of big and pow
erful states would be. We have act

No Violation.

NO V10Iat10n.
Our recent pursuit of bandits in
to Mexican TERRITORY was no violation
of that principle. We ventured to
enter Mexican territory only because
there were no military forces in Mex
leo that could protect our border
from hostile attack and our own peo-
pie from violence, and we have COM
mitted there no single act of hostility
or interference even with the SOW
ereign authority of the Republic of
Mexico herself. It was a plain case
of the violation of our sovereignty
which could not wait to be vindi-
Gated by damages and for which there
was no other remedy. The authori-
ties of Mexico were powerless to pre-
vent it.

which any child under fourteen may
be employed or in which children I'M

SAYS COURT.
Cats Loses Mandarnus
Case-May Reply by
August II.
PRIMARY LAW IS
CONSTITUTIONAL
Opinion, Which Was Unani-
nous, One of Longest
Handed Down.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 8.-The
supreme court today in the mandamus
case of w. V. Knott against certain
inspectors and clerks of precincts in
Duval and Putnam counties to re-
quire them to reconvene and count
ballots of the June primary, overruled
the demurrer and motion to quash
entered by counsel for Sidney ]. Cats
in answer to alternative writ of man
damus issued by the. court two or
three weeks ago.
The respondents are allowed until
August II in which to submit any is
s,7e of fact on which the command of
the alternative writ ought not to be
made peremptory.
The opinion is one of the longest
ever handed down by this court
thirty-four legal pages of typewrit-
ten matter, or approximately twelve
thousand words. Twenty-one pages
of the opinion are taken up with the
statement; then follows the opinion
proper, of thirteen pages.
The opinion is prepared and con-
Cured in by the whole court.
The opinion necessarily had to be
made long in answering the large
number of attacks made upon the al
tentative write by counsel for Mr..
Cats.
There were sixty-seven grounds for
demurrer raised by his counsel in an
swer to the writ. Among those
grounds is that Mr.. Knott is not
eligible to became a candidate for
governor while holding the office of
comptroller; that the Bryan primary
law is unconstitutional; that it is
sought to mandamus the inspectors to
do somethinfi that there is no law for,
and a mandamus cannot issue in such
case.
The court holds that the law is con-
stitutional, and does not sustain the
other points raised by counsel above
referred to.

ALL NIGHT LONG
THE CATS SING
SNOOKY-OOKUMS

Cats, not dogs, are worrying
people of the East Hill section
of the city of Pensacola. The
felines enjoy a taxless existence,
while the canine is worth 81 and
50 per year, and unless such
good coin of the realm is forth
coming, it will mean the arrest
and humiliation in many in
stances, of the owners.
The discovery that cats were
the worries of New City people
was made yesterday and the day
before by Inspector oerting, spe-
cially named to look into the
matter of properly-licensed
dogs.
81 have no dog, and if I had
one, would pay a license" said
one man. "But, while the city
is looking around for a way to
raise funds, let it place a tax on
cats"
Mr.. Oerting went to 102
houses Tuesday and found less
than a dozen dogs. There does
not appear to be a dog on East
Jackson street." said the inspec-
tor, but the cats-well they have
the call on everything"

CHARLESTON SEEKS
PENSA'S TO SECURE
ALOCAL NAVY YARD

The chamber of commerce has been
asked to cooperate with the chamber
of commerce of Charleston in an eff
fort TO get sufficient appropriation
for building a navy yard at that point.
The following telegram from Secre-
tary A. V. Smell of the Charleston
chamber Of commerce, explains the

There are five large navy yards
north of Hatteras. Charleston harbor
can admit any battleship. The navy
yard dock is wide and deep, but not
long enough for dreadnaughts. The

frightening, but is being fought n
the house. Could you wire your rep

for large ships on South Atlantic and
for better protection of the southern
coast, the Panama Canal and for saw
ing disabled naval or merchant ships
IN southern waters"

rectors of the chamber of commerce,
and it is expected tat some action
will be taken n the matter.

PRELIMINARY DEBATE
on THE MEASURE

Washington, Aug. Senator
Cummins today charged President
Wilson with forcing Democrats in the
house and senate to adopt legislation
against their judgment, and told OPP
ponents of the child labor bill who
contended it is unconstitutional, that
the presidents assumption Of legis-
lative functions was a greater menace
to the constitution than the passage
of any measure.
"There has not been a single impor-
tant measure passed since 1913 in
which Democratic congressman have
not felt the heavy hand of the execu-
tive" said the senator. ''Those SEN
ators who see an invasion of state
rights and a menace in the passage
of the present bill, ignore the graver
violations of the constitution exhibit
ed every day during this session"
= Senator Robinson asked Senator
Cummins to be more specific in his
complaints but the senator from
va declared he had taken up the
subject only because Senator Hard
wick had previously asserted that
President Wilson had violated his con-
ception of the constitution in urging
this legislation
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
who was opposing the bill, took Sena-
tor Works to task for his statement
yesterday that most of the southern
senators appeared willing to sacrifice
the sovereignty of their states in re-
turn for price from the national
treasury. South Carolina, he said,
was second only to Massachusetts in
the extent of its textile industry and
and had the best laws regulating the
manufacture of cotton goods by child
labor of any state in the union. While
other states had passed more or less
purposeless laws. South Carolina
had not waited, Senator Smith de-
clared for threat of federal inter
vention to procure regulation of its
manufactures.

FARM LOAN ACT WILL

RESOURCES OF REGION

modify, his land, just as the merchant
and manufacturer has been enabled
through the Federal Reserve system
to have his paper, based on com
mercial transactions, find a ready
market.
The new scheme has many points
of resemblance to the Federal Re-
serve system, but in many essential
features it is entirely different. In no
way will the banks created under it
do commercial banking, and while
it is possible that years to come may
have funds to loan that will amount
to several hundred million dollars, it
is not believed probable that the
system ever will have the resources
of the reserve system.
Each federal land bank must have
a minimum subscribed capital of
$75OOOO before it can start business.
The banks will not, except in spe-
ciaI cases, loan direct to farmers.
but through the agency of the Ma
tional Farm Loan Associations, which
may be organized to any number in
a land bank district by any ten own
ers or prospective owners of farm
land who desire to secure loans on
farm property. Application for char
ter for these associations must go up
to the farm loan board and may be
refused by it. No association will
be chartered unless it is shown that
signing members desire loans total
