their prayer books in an attempt to
revise and enrich 1t to meet demands
for greater freedom in the service.

technical. One proposal is to change
the word "damnation" in several col

simple manual OF church service for
use in parishes in which there are
numbers of unlettered and foreign
born persons. was announced in the

ops has before it a proposal to pro.

LAW is CRITICISED
National Farm Congress 10 Told That
Recent Loan Act Of Government
10 Not Satisfactory.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 19.-Resolu-
tions advocating a more simple farm
loan law, action to alleviate car short
age and asking congress to increase
the appropriation available for the Of
fee Of marketing are in the hands Of
the resolutions committee Of the Ma
tional Farm congress in session here
today.
Delegates who submitted the reso-
luton dealing with the farm loan law
say the law is not simple enough and
as 1t stands keeps many who need
money from applying and obtaining it.
Car shortage at the time when the
farmers most need railroad facilities
to move their crops also Is subject
Of much interest to the delegates. The
work of the market and farm confer
ence should be supported by the farm
ers' congress, according to another
resolution. Pricing and distributing
of farm products, much discussed by
the delegates, is the subject of reso-
lutions to be acted on later by the
committee. The federal farm loan
act was discussed by Representative
Ralph w. Moss of Indiana today. DR..

WILSON POLICY
CALLED CRAVEN
Col. Roosevelt Makes Attack
on President for His
Foreign Dealings

Louisville, KY, Oct. 10 I'm a speech
before big audience last night, Col.
Roosevelt took President Wilson to
task on his foreign policies, condemn
ed the craven" submission OF the ad-
ministration in the crimes perpetrat.
ed upon the American people and
charged that the president is insincere
in his statements and protestations to
the public and to the world at large.
Excerpts from his speech follow:
At the outset Of my speech wish
to point out, as have elsewhere point
ed out, that the doctrine now often
advanced as to the improperly OF
criticising the president, without any
regard as to whether the criticism is
or Is not just, has no warrant either
in history or on grounds of public NOR
ality. Andrew Jackson In message
to the senate on April 15, 1884, put the
case exactly as it should be put. He
said:
"The president is accountable at the
bar Of public opinion for every act OF
his administration. Subject only to
the restraints of truth and justice, the
free people of the United States have
the undoubted right, as individuals or
collectively, orally or in writing, at
such times and in such language and
form as they may think proper, to dis
cuss his Official conduct and express
and promulgate their opinions con-
cerning It,"
This lays down the law that should
be followed. There must be truth and
justice in all that is said of the presi-
dent, or Of any one else; but less than
any one other man in the nation has
he the right to claim immunity from
any criticism that is both just and
truthful. I, criticise President Wilson
because his deeds have belied his
words, and his words have belied one
another
President Wilson's speeches are
models OF adroit indirect suggestion
and avoidance of downright statement.
But the other day at Omaha he seems
to have committed himself to the state.
ment that he was willing to fight
but was waiting for something worth
fighting for" for something which
would put, all the corpuscles OF his
blood into shouting shape" It would
be interesting to know exactly what
outrage on American citizens. or on
the rights of humanity anywhere.
which would make him cross the line
between being willing to fight and
"too proud to fight" He certainly did
not regard the treacherous murder Of
Boyd and Adair, and this United States
as something worth fighting for He
did not even write note about It,.
The murder of 1894 men. women, and
children on the Lusitania did not put
all the corpuscles Of his blood into
shouting shape"

HUGHES FOR PEACE
Republican Candidate Replies to the
Charge That Vote for Him
10 Vote for War.

Saginaw, Mich. Oct. 19.-Charles E.
Hughes delivered two speeches here
and at Bay City today before audi
ences that packed the halls where he
spoke. The nominee assailed the ad-
ministration for the Underwood tariff
and the Adamson law and repeated
his denial of the charge that a vote
for him meant vote for war.
Men are going abroad in this land.
Mr.. Hughes said. Saying that a vote
for me Is vote for war, because
have criticised weakness and vacilla-
ton on the part OF the administration.
A vote for me is vote for perman-
ent peace based on self respect and
the esteem and respect of others.
"Why I have devoted all my life to
the institutions Of peace, institutions
that deal with a peaceful settlement
of controversies.
"But in this world, you have got to
maintain not only your security BY
proper preparation against every
emergency but you have got to main
tain your security by winning the con-
fidence and esteem Of other nations.
We cannot do that II We do not main
tain the dignity Of our own citizen
ship.
III you want to know the way
things out to be done. look at the way
in which they were done in Mexico.
That to my mind, is an illustration
that stands out in bold relief Of the
policies OF this administration. 1t
was a meddling with matters that did
not concern us. It was failure to
maintain American rights"

utes late in leaving Bay City.
