these statements We expect t

how such an amount as will no

dent can prevent the shock to the country that
would result it is his place to use all Just means
that his wise judgment dictates. There is one
point, however, that has not been neglected in
the food of opportunities that have been sent
to the White House, and If the President and
the country are to be bearded by organized
forces that will not curb their activities to con-
form to honesty it will not be forgotten.
This point is that the employees of the roads
seem to have taken advantage of the faith of
sympathetic public They have asked for
shorter hours so that they may have decent
living conditions. The public is in sympathy
occupation is such that he cannot have shorter
hours who does not want shorter hours and
who would be discontented if restricted to the
wages earned within the shorter hours demanded

labor limit, but an increased wage scale, he is
taking advantage of some ones faith in his in

The President has received communication
from the Louisville Board OF Trade, in which
the statement is made that that body is not in
sympathy with the labor mems demand for
shorter hours, which in honesty and truth do
not mean shorter hours but higher pay.
This opinion rapidly is spreading throughout
the country and, if the negotiations are contn
ued long enough, will play an important part
in the final settlement

spoke in approval OF the speech. Father
was particularly gratifed with some COM

which was Just about to be admitted TO
the State.
THE speech was made" Ar. Seward
continued. when the compromise resolu-
tion drafted by Henry Clay was before

consideration. Father used TO say that

Federal Senate than the one which fol-

Calhoun wrote, but did not deliver. a
speech, it having been read by friend.
Webster made his famous 7th Of March
speech upon the resolution, and my faith
Cr followed Webster four days after the
delivery Of his speech.
There was one source of very great
embarrassment and physical labor to my
father which was Occasioned by this
speech The demand for it was so great
that a hundred thousand copies were
printed and father undertook TO send
them all through the country under his
official frank 1t was a tremendous task.

to me to make inquiry Of Frederick w.
Seward about the time and the occasion
when his father delivered the famous

as 'the higher law" speech, the former
told me some very interesting Incident.
associated with the delivery Of tnat
epoch-making address.
Many times when Seward was a candi-
date for the Presidential nomination his
higher law" speech was referred to as
having preceded by several years the
now-traditional speech made by Abraham
Lincoln two years before he was nomi-
mated for the Presidency which he be-
gan by saying that a house divided
against itself cannot stand; the Union
ultimately must either be all free or all
slave
Mr.. Seward told me that the so-called
higher law" speech was delivered by
his father two years after William H.
Seward became a member Of the Federal
Senate.
IT think can repeat exactly what my
father said at that time" said Mr..
Seward. Il may MAKE a slip of a word
or two. but it is substantially as follows:
The constitution regulates our steward
ship. The constitution devotes the do
main to union. liberty, defense. justice
and welfare. But there is higher law
than the constitution which regulates our
authority over the domain and devotes
It to noble purposes
Father was instantly accused of say
ing that the constitution could not be
considered II anything stood in the way
of securing freedom throughout the land.

A Deceptive Demand.

number of kilograms recently have been
received at the White House from commercial
and industrial bodies throughout the country
calling upon President Wilson to sustain the
principle of arbitration in his negotiations be-
tween the railroads and their employees The
general tone of these messages is direct and
sincere, and invariably based on the fact that
once throwing aside a principle establishes a
precedent. The principle of arbitration-the
right OF both sides to a day in court and a
chance to present arguments for fair judg-
ment-is at least as old as the civilization that
gives history
Mr. Wilson at present is face to face with a
greater crisis than has yet confronted his ad-
ministratlon-greater than the Mexican situa-
tion because it is born of our own home; greater
than the U-boat because the number OF
people threatened by calamity is greater. 1t
is not question is regulating another mans
home, nor of danger to few who choose to
place themselves in danger. 1t is the unques-
tonable duty of saving the industrial nation
from the effect Of crippled transportation serv-
ices and from a blight shameful to the SOW
eregnty Of government
The railroads may have to give the dog a
bone. The employees are in a position of van
tage. The President, it would seem. is not
asking the roads to forego the principle of ar
bitration because he does not like the name
OF it. He is in the unenviable position of hav-
