WHAT THE RECORD REVEALS

8 One Of the most impressive fea-
lures Of Senator Borah's speech in
this city was his detailed account OF
the manner In which the legislation
OF the Democratic Congress was &C
complished. not in the open. but in the
secrecy Of the committee chamber
and an autocratic caucus. a process
by which the few ruled the many. And
behind this monastic procedure was
the directing hand Of one that once pro-
cIaimed himself as the anointed
apostle Of ''pitiless publicity" and the
dedicated prophet Of the New Free
dom. It was the chain Of the caucus
that enslaYed the independence and
conscience Of many Democratic Sena-
tors and compelled them to vote for
DEGREES against their convictions.
Senator Borah read from the record
the protest Of one Democratic Senator
who had the courage to declaim
against the enormity OF this abuse, but
who acknowledged he was helpless to
vote against caucus dictation.
I IN the Congressional Record of
August 80. there will De found another
remarkable protest against the iniqu!-
ties practiced in the name Of the eau
Gus. It is the indignant voice Of
kAnator James D. Phelan, the Demo

MUDDLED LEGISLATION.

Even in that legislation which held
some slight promise OF being bene-
fetal to the country the Democrats in
Congress defeated the effect OF any
such features by marring them with
some bad provision. In creating a
tariff commission they fixed salary
so low that 1t will not command the
best. ability, and besides refused q
continuing appropriation for it, all
which shows the commission was
provided for, for mere campaign bun
combe The measures creating tho
Federal Trade BNard, the Farm Loan
Banks. etc, were hurt by the refusal
Of Congress to have the employees OF
such bodies chosen under. and pro-
tected by, the civil service laws.
There remains the plain danger hat
by loading WORKOUT politicians on
these new bureaus, their work may
be- damaged by the incompetency OF
party hacks who care nothing for e.
fclency or public service. And here
we find a brazen Reputation Of the
pledge to conserve the integrity Of
the merit system in office.
The child labor bill, which The
President made so much of, has q
vicious Joker which completely
Yitiates the object of the legislation.
As enacted, it does not absolutely pro-
hibit trade in any product Of child
labor. but only in cases where the
mill making such products has with

History has an astonishing way
Of repeating itself. 1t is repeating IT,
self in the Balkans. The battles Of the
Crusades are being fought over again
in Southeastern Europe. and for the
same purpose--pOssess Of the
"briGcr between the East and West,
between Europe and the treasure
house OF Asia Minor.
Even the parts which the various
nations are taking in the new strug-
gle have not varied materially since
the close OF the turbulent period IN
ting middle ages when the chlValTy
Of Western Europe flung itself in sue

"bridee." Today. as in the Middle
Ages, it is Bulgaria that bars the
way as she did in the days OF Bau-
douin, emperor of the East-only
nov they are disputtng It not In the
deserts of Asia but hundreds OF miles
to the west, in the garden Of the Bal
kans.
Only one essential detail IN the in
ternational alignment has changed
since the Bulgarian tsai Kalo-lvan
defeated and captured the Emeror
BauIouin in 1905. The German race
which then took part IN the assaults
upon the bridge" is now aligned
with the Bulgarians and the Turks in
its defense.
In no region of the worlds far-reach-
ing battle line are so many vital In
ter ,sts involved as in the battles that
are being fought in the Balkans on
three fronts To Bulgaria defeat would
mean tie shatterlng Of national ideal
the ideal OF race unity, Of the win
ming OF Macedonia with its overwhelm-
ing Bulgarian population. To Germany
AMI Austria the triumph Of the Enten-
tie would mean the end Of glittering
dream Of commercial and industrial
expansion eastward. in the direction
CT Bagiad and the rich region of Mes
opo1amia, which Germany has long
regarded as within the sphere Of its
manifest destiny. J..
And to Russia, a vast empire with
out an all-the-year-round open port,
the failure to wrest the bridge" from
German hands would mean the death
os a great hope-the hope OF mastery

which was raised in upraiding TWO OF

say that when the Senator from New

therefore the recommendation Of the FL

Esferential way Just why the Demo-
Gratis have undertaken this wanton
misrepresentation it is hard TO con-
Esjecture.
Is: Senator Reed, OF Missouri, attempt
ed to. impose this fiction on his hearers
1 in campaign speech he made a few
1 days ago. There can be no excuse Tor
his perversion, for he participated in
sthe legislation that did save the coun-
ssstfy from a panic at the outbreak Of
the war, which was the use OF the
i AIdrich-Vreeland emergency currency
sact, enacted by a Republican Congress
I'm 1908. There were several things
that combined to avert a panic. but
THE relief to the banks came from the
once despised Aldrich-Vreeland act.
AS one Congressman happily put 1t,
the stone that the Democratic builders

the corner. But the detestible feature
of the Democratic deception is that

BY merely withholding its product for
thirty days any manufacturing con-
Germ employing child labor can evade
the law. And, then, there is the eight

which increases the wages OF a GER

other class in the same employment,
and poorly paid In comparison with
the wages Of the members Of the rail
road brotherhoods. There are other
cases Just as distinctive of the mud
