the eyes Of the world.

luo eyes Vi INC hoAie.
The argument in favor of the ad-
ministration is the prosperity OF the
nation. a prosperity wrung from the
blood stained battlefields Of Europe,
i which should not be a matter Of
pride but rather CHASTITY reminder
OF national humiliation.
Policy Of supineness
Judge Brown, in a scholarly review
OF American history. disclosed how
the country had earned the respect
of nations, which was not by a policy
OF supineness but one of positive ac-
tion and straightforward assertion of
national dignity. The prestige of the
nation was upheld when President
Mckinley stood firmly against the
partition of China by the hungry
powers of Europe who could scarcely
resist the temptation of dividing that
country among themselves. BY the
action OF President Mckinley, China
was saved from absorption. 1t was
Republican secretary of state, John
Hay, who insisted on the open door
in the Orient and II was Republican
secretary of state who brought the
sanguinary conflict between Russia
and Japan to happy conclusion at
Portsmouth, Conn The speaker re-
ferred to the glorious records of Hay,
Root and Knox, all Republican sec
retaries of state whose far seeing
craftsmanship added to the dignity
of the nation. He referred to the
case of the Morocco government,
which was given 48 hours in which to
deliver Perdicaris, an American citi-
zen, alive or Raisalieu, the Moroccan
bandit. dead. The same principle was
applied in dealing with the larger
as well as the lesser powers. He
briefly recounted the history of the
Alaskan boundary claim, in which
Great Britain tried to dictate settle
ment, but which Republican presi-
dent peremptorily rejected with the
result that judgment favorable to
the claims of the United States was
rendered. In 1902, Venezuela was
backward in paying it's debts and
| English and German warships were
lying off the coast to enforce settle
ment. These countries were making
an issue of the Monroe doctrine.
Yielding to the firm representations
of the United States, Great Britain
agreed to arbitrate. Germany re
fused. The imperial government was
given ten days in which to meet the
views of Washington. The. note con-
veyed a gentle intimation that Ad-

to obtain justice in prior disputes

| The leaders of the four unions, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, and the Order
of Railway Conductors, upon with
drawing from the conference lost no
time in drafting the strike ballot and
in order to expedite the vote caused
their distribution throughout the
country by the 900 union delegates
that had also attended the confer
| ence.
In statements issued by the rail
road heads, following the breakup of
the conference, it was held that the
eight hour day demanded by the men
did not actually mean shorter work
day. but rather an increase Of rs per
cent over existing wages for the same
amount of work, and an increase in
many cases of S7h per cent for over
time as compared with present rates.
The demands pertain only to freight
and not to passenger service.
The railroads maintained that to
allow the increase would add $780,
100000 year to the operating ex-
penses of all roads in the United
States, "for the benefit of men whose
average pay per day was increased
from 80 to AZ per cent from 1903 to
1914 while the wages of the western
engineers were further increased in
1915
The mems proposition submitted al
the conference provided that loo
miles or less. or eight hours or less
should constitute day, with over
time beginning at the expiration o.
: eight hours on runs of less than 10t
