The Issues of the Campaign.

Ex-Scnator Roots speech before the New York Republican convention has so clearly de'i1cd the issues of the presidential campaign that inc who runs may read These are demo cratic tariff legislation and demo ty to business prosperity which pro duced seriously hard times that were only temporarily abatcd by the out
 break of the European war; a MeXi
 can policy actuated by hatred of Pres
 idcnt Huerta. of Mexico. which led President Wilson tc butt in in the Mexican situation to the extent ol invading Vera Cruz and sacrificing
 eleven American and 3GD Mexican lives; to align this government with the bandits who were almost daily murdering American men. outraSinp American women and destroying un told millions of American property; to adopt partisanship in Mexican af'
 fairs which induced Mr. Wilson to
 refrain from anything but hollow protests against the outragcs perpc' trated on Americans: foreign policy
 characterized by first shaking the fist
 at foreign nations violating Ameri- can rights and then later shaking the finger at them. policy which has re

Garrison Arraigns Wilson

When a lifelong Democrat, of the high standing, judicial temperament and broad ability of Lindley NJ. Garri
 son declares that casting adrift the Philippines is an abandonment Of its duty by this nation and breach oi trust toward the Filipinos sane and conscientious Democrats can well al
 ford to pause and consider what il is that President Wilson and the pup pets who do his bidding in congress arc about to do. Mir. Wilson has given his sanction to tnc Philippine bill which passed the senate which provides that in not less than four years the I'ilipinos shall be given their independence and under the influence of Mo11roW Wilson this bill will doubtless pass the House. Mir. Wilson's excuse that the Philip pine commissioners wanted this Is on a par with tnc mothers excuse that she gave her child loaded pis- tol because the baby cried for it. The Philippine commissioners in congress are asking for Independence because they believe their request will promote their personal political fortunes. As ono capable editor puts it, Like all impulsivc and ignorant people, the Filipinos have learned the vices of popular government faster than they have learned the virtues and restraints Seli-governmc1t is nov city to them, and 10 many it is an intoxication." To free the Filipinos before they are prepared to govern and protect themselves will be a crime. for it will be merely to expos them to conquest and slavery by
 some Asiatic power Their future will be as bright as that of the Ko-- cans. Or course, Mir. Wilson and his pawns know this. And they also know that even if they pass this per nicious and deceitiul legislation, the Republicans will repeal it. But pre- cisely as they were willing to niislead, to flimflam the people of Columbia

Brandeis Mercilessly Exposed.

Whatever may be the outcome of the investigation of Louis D. Bran deis, nominated by President Wilson for justice of the Supreme court, it will have served to demonstrate his utter unftncss for the place. This is freely admitted by Democratic sena- tors, even those who dare not express their belief by voting against Bran deis' confirmation. As that conhrma- ton becomes less certain with each new exposure of Brandeis' disregard of the ethics of his profession. some of the closest friends of the admins tration arc contending that even if hc is defeated. or his name withdrawn. Mir. Wilson will have accomplished his purpose. namely, the cultivation of the Jewish vote by the nomination of man of that race. Republicans. on the other Eand. take the opposite view They contend that by picking a Hebrew of Brandeis' type and char acter. when there were so many Jew ish lawyers who. because of their character and abilities. might easily have been confirmed. Mir. Wilson has really insulted the race and done it serious injury The administration is trying assiduously to create the false impression that opposition to BraI deis grows out of the fact that he is a lew.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26-'I found out what was going on in Mexico by hearing a sufficiently large number of liars talk about it." This is what President Wilson told the Motion Picture Board of Trade in New York. While Mir. Wilson's Mexican policy strikingly suggests that he has gained his information from ''liars" and while his statement is T reflection more frank than complimentary on the nu- merous special representatives" he has sent to Mexico, his assertion makes pertinent certain questions. What reason has Mr. Wilson to be- live he knows the truth about Mexi- co if he gained his information from 'liars?" Sensible men do not go to liars for the truth. He said fur ther, that he always knew just what the liars" were going to tell him, SO much so that, the last time depu- tation visited me about Mexico ] thought | would save time, and told them exactly what they were going 10 say to me, and they went away very much confused" To a man less proud in his own conceit, would it not have occurred that when all his informants told him the same story it might be that they were telling the truth. and that he was misinformed When a number Of men are lying they do not tell exactly the same story and no one can tell in advance what they are goi1g to say. It might have occurred to him, also, that theii confusion" might have been due to their surprise that, knowing the facts, ne so consistently disregarded them. Furthermore. Mir Wilson's belief that all his informants regarding Mexico were liars" should have been a warn ing to him not to go on selecting III experienced 'spec;ll representatives in violation of the constitution he is sworn to uphold. because withou; 'thc advice and consent of the sem ate"-to send abroad for information. Tkat the president has not lcarned this lesson is evidenced by his recent dispatch of Colonel House to Eur ope. If Mir. Wilson could for a mom- ent lay aside his overwcaning con fidence in his own judgment he might realize that when all who came to him from Mexico, including John Lind. Cardinal Gibbons, Henry Lane Vii son, Nelson O'Shaughnessy, and q host of others who had actually been there, and when all told him the same story, 1t was not they who were lying, but he who, as result oI his exaggerated ego and pride of opinion, was dcceiving heimself and attempting to deceive the American people

 Another M'Adoo Scandal
 Secretary McAdoo is exerting all the power of the administration to compel congress to enact bill which involves dishonest dealing by the gov ernment and whicn has been con demned by the American Institute oi Architects. In June, 1910, the treas ury department called on architects to submit designs for the new build ing for the department of justice. The advertisement specifically stated that the successful architect, having made such revision of his plans as the sec rotary of the treasury might indicate, should receive the usual fee Of "6 pc- cent upon the cost of the work ex- ecuted from his drawings and specifi- cations and under his superinten- dcnce." Sixty architects competed and the award was made to Don M Bar Der of New York. The bill McAdoo is now trying to get through would repudiate that contract. It provides that the superintendcnce or local supervisor shall not be paid for as part of the architectural services, etc." and empowers him to bestow it by favor. When McAdoo's at tention was called to the bad faith involved, he replied that tine obliga- ton to Barber was merely a moral one" Your readers probably have not forgotten the MbAdoo scandal uSSNiiOSu III tits NOliSsPo'iuShNC uh der date of January l3, which na-- rated how McAdoo had paid S33,W0 to his former business associate, Mir Stillwell, for report which merely duplicated a report on building which already had becn made by the regularly employed architects of the treasury. Perhaps Mr. Stillwell wants this new work which the govern ment is only morally obligated" to give to MT Barber.
