CHOATE'S TRIBUTE 10
PRESIDENT WILSON

Joseph H. Choate, ambassador to
Great Britain in the Mckinley and
Roosevelt administrations, an eX-
president of the American Bar As
ISOLATION, and long leader of the
American Bar, and leading Repub-
lican, writing in the Review of Re-
views for January, 1915, paid high
tribute to Wilson's administration
policies growing out of the war. He
said: t5>A
eff we can maintain our neutrality
and keep out of this war and at the
same time prove ourselves friendly
to all the nations engaged in it-as |
think we shall under the wise and pru-
dent conduct of President Wilson
the United States will, believe, not
only be called into consultation by
the warning nations, when they are no
longer able to keep up the fight, but
will practically be able to dictate the
terms of peace between them, one OF
which must, if possible, be an effec-
tual guarantee against any future
outbreak Of the horrible spirit of mil
itarism which has caused the present
war.
"And / am encouraged in this be-
lief by reading the recent message of
President Wilson and the annual re-
ports Of the Secretaries of War and
OF the Navy, which, taken together,
appear to show steadfast determine
ton on the part Of our Federal Gov
eminent to have us prepared always
for effectual self-defense, which is
necessary condition of our national ex-
istence.
"0f course, the end of this war will
see us by far the most powerful ma
ton Of the world, and if the policy
pointed out by Secretary Daniels is
pursued, we shall perhaps in the full
ness OF time become ourselves the mis-
tress of the seas without mourning
hostility or attack from any nation,
and shall be the great factor Of pre-
serving universal peace"

A wELL-DEFINED ISSUE

The Chicago Tribune's special cor
respondent, E. G. Hill, who followed
Candidate Hughes in his campaign
of the middle west. reported his Mil
waukee speech in the columns of the
Tribune as follows;
Throughout Mr.. Hughes address,
the applause, filled to hairtrigger
speed, exploded constantly like gun
volleys. The first burst of applause
came when he said in the principal
city of the State of La Toilette that
the La Toilette shipping bill must be
repealed; the next, when he said that
the Underwood Tariff must be re-
placed by a protective tariff; and
third, when he declared that the whole
Democratic legislative accomplish
ment must be wiped off the books for
the good of the country"
At last we have clear and we'll
cut issue. All who favor the repeal of
the LaFollette shipping bill, all who
favor the repeal of the Underwood
tariff, all who favor the repeal of the
Federal Reserve law, the Rural Cred
its law, the Income Tax law, the Ag-
ricultural Extension act, the Child La
Dor law, and the other labor legisla-
ton of the Wilson administration, the
Alaskan Railway bill and the other
progressive and conservative legisla-
ton of the Wilson administration
should vote for Hughes. Those who
do not favor the wiping out of the
whole Democratic legislative accomp-
lishments should vote for President
Wilson.

peace and humanity. A comparison
of the conditions and results of the
war with Spain with the present cri-
sis, especially in the Mexican situa-
ton, will show the folly of being CO.
creed by special interests into assum-
ing belligerent attitude, and after
ward repenting or having to appro-
pirate millions to cover the blunder
and maintain an inconsistent stand.
Had there been more deliberation and
more notes written in 1898, or, in
other words, had President Mckinley
been as firm in his adherence to the
principles of right, justice and hu-
manity as President Wilson has been,
the war with Spain might have been
averted and the lives of many of our
soldiers would have been spared and
a blot would have been kept off the
fair page of our history.
1t will be remembered that when
the Court of Inquiry was investigating
the cause of the explosion that sent
the Maine to the bottom of the Gulf of
Mexico and shifted out the lives of
nearly three hundred of our sailors,
Spain asked to be allowed to have
representative present and to send
divers down to examine the hull of
the Maine. The request in each in
stance was denied, thus depriving
weaker nation of any means of vim
dication and keeping accurate knowl-
edge from our own people.
1t is believed by many that some
tool of the Money Power was instru-
mental in causing the explosion,
whether internal or external, and that
it was done for the sole purpose of
precipitating war with Spain which
would fill the Golfers of the war mu-
milton manufacturers at once. and ul-
timately those of the sugar and kim
dred trusts, at the expense of the toll
ing masses.
The same interests in conjunction
with the railroads, oil magnates and
land grabbers tried the same sort of
tactics in regard to Mexico, but we
had Chief Executive who placed
the lives of men and the happiness of

Political History

Rolla, Mo-, Oct. 8, 1916.
Editor Pennington Times:
The Republicans, in their despera-
ton for an issue, are trying to make
political capital of the one-term plank
Of the Democratic platform of 1912,
but they are ominously silent regard
ing the solemn VOWS Of the speetacu-
lar Teddy when he said "Under no
circumstances will l be a candidate
for nor accept another nomination
for the presidency" and the spectac-
ular ore is vainly trying to befuddle
the minds of the laboring people by
his denunciation of President Wilson's
stand on the question of the eight
hour day, and says the President and
Congress surrendered to labor. This
is characteristic of the Republican
method of campaigning. They stoop
to any misrepresentation for the pur-
pose of deceiving the voters into vot-
ing for them.
Even if this charge were true in the
sense it is aimed, would it not be
much more honorable to yield to the
demands of labor than surrender to
the interests as Roosevelt did to the
Steel Trust, when in 1907 he sur
rendered bag and baggage without
even STIMULATING for the welfare Of the
masses who had placed him in the
exalted position he held.
The one-term plank was the result
of the agitation and discussion of the
constitutional amendment to change
the length of term of President from
four to six or eight years, and in that
event making the President ineligible
to succeed himself. President Wilson
never came out with an unqualified
declaration that he would not be a
candidate for nor accept another NOM
ination as Roosevelt did in 1908.
1t is easy to criticise, but it would
appear that these self-constituted cri-
tics of President Wilson would soft
pedal regarding consistency when
they think Of the solemn declaration
If Taft that he favored a revision of
the tariff and by every exterior in
iicative led the people to believe he
favored and would work for down
ward revision, but took exactly the
opposite course when elected to the Of
foe Of Chief Executive, and so dis
gusted the Strenuous One that he pro-
seeded in 1912 to undo what he did in
1903.
They, the Republicans, have much
% say regarding President Wilson's
foreign policies and are loud ia their
condemnation Of his attitude Of

pendent voter has a perfectly plain
proposition before him. Does he
want to discontinue the liberal and
peaceful policies of the present ad-
ministration and substitute in their
stead the probably hostile, the prob
ably warlike and the inevitably reac-
tionary policies of the opposition2 A
great deal of ingenuity has been ex-
pended in obscurins the issues of the
campaign. If it were an issue, so far
as / am concerned, whether / am wise
and lovable or not, ! myself, would
vote in the negative. ] don't pretend
to wisdom, but | do pretend with the
greatest confidence to an absolute de-
votion to the interests Of my fellow
countrymen, and ! do wish to confirm
the judgment of certain gentlemen in
Wall street that never cooperate
with them.
4 s.
Republican Success Means War Be
tween Capital and Labor.
zone of the things that threaten US
in the future if the Republican party
is successful is a conflict between
capital and labor, not because any
new lines will be drawn, but because
so far so many representatives of cap
ital have refused to regard the laborer
as a fellow human being, just as much
interested in the welfare of business
and the progress of society as those
who organize business and conduct it.
Partnership Is Needed.
"When we take each other into part
nership there will be no more war be-
tween capital and labor. And the ar
ticles Of partnership must be
written with the heart, not with the
brain. They must be written because
we mean it, not because we think it is
expedient. They must be written be-
cause America, founded in that day of
vision, depends for her growth and
her glory upon the realization of that
vision Of the rights of mankind. We
were born not to pile up material
wealth, but to see that the spirits, of
mankind did lot lose heart. We were
born to prefer justice to power, hui
manity to any form of selfish achieve
ment. We have raised up in effigy in
the harbor of New York an image of
Liberty enlightening the world, show
ing a path of luminous light across
the waters which we said if men
would follow it would lead them to a
land of justice, to land of brotherly
love, to a land where men cooperate
because they believed in each others
right, to a land where no man sought
to be another's master, but where all
men were united together in a like
comradeship and affection.
"These are the ideals of America
and these are the ideals which will
settle the election in 1916"
