cause He Is Against War think
these two appeals side by side, made
for or on behalf Of Mr.. Wilson, typify
the campaign that is waged by him for
reelection. We have never had any
candidate for so high an Office who was
so utterly Indifferent to the reversal or
all Of his professed convictions or prln-
ciples, and, above all, so Indifferent TO
the fiat contradiction between his words
and his acts on almost every issue OF
real importance before the people.
Has Condemned Himself
AT Cincinnati on Thursday, the cay
before yesterday, President wilson ut
tered words which can be justified only
BY unstinted condemnation OF every
thing he has done in foreign affairs
since he became President. Mr. Wilson
said:
"'This is the last great war that in
wolves the world that the United States
can keen out Of The business Of
neutrality is over. War nov. has such
a scale that the position Of neutrals
sooner or later becomes intolerable.
Nobody can hereafter be neutral as re-
spects the disturbance of the worlds
peace for an object which the worlds
opinion cannot sanction. From this
time on America must show that as a
member Of the family of nations she
has the same attitude toward the other
nations that she wishes her people to
have toward each other; that she will
lend not only her moral influence, but
her physical force. if other nations will
Join her, to see to il that no nation
and no group Of natl MS tries to take
advantage Of another nation or group
of nations. America must hereafter be
ready, as a member of the family Of
nations, 70 exert her whole force, moral
and physical, whenever the fundamental
rights of humanity are invaded, TO the
assertion of those rights throughout
the round globe
81 now wish you 20 consider the ex-
act words | am using wnen 7 say that
no President in all our history has ever
before ventured to use such lofty words

Of promise when his deeds in the past
have been precisely such as these words
necessarily must severally condemn.
Insincerity and hypocrisy, when sue
cessful in high places, work rum 10 a
nations soul. And never Lave we had
a greater degree of insincerity ana
hypocrisy than is contained in such a
plea for reelection by the president
who has himself practised the coideS,II
and most selfish neutrality when al
these things that in the abstract ne
condemns were in the concrete commit
ted at the expense of Belgium ana OF
the Armenians and Of the Syrian CHRIS
tians.
president Wilson appeals for sup
mort on the ground that he has KEPT
us out of war. And now at the. iast
moment he says that never again Is
the United States TO keep out OF such
a war. What does he mean? II II was
lust TO keep out of this war, then "
would be lust i'm the future 10 Keep
out of all similar wars. Ii the Presl-
dent. on the other hand, is right IN say
inc that we never shall keep out OF
any such vars in the future, then ne
condemns himself for keeping out oi
this war"
At this point Colonel Roosevelt od-
dressed the series of rhetorical cues
tions TO President Wilson found IN
the b0r on Page /.
EITHER President Wilson means
what he says or he does not the
speaker went on. of he does not, then

raised not a finger for Madero's pro-
lection"
"You are sure that Ambassador vii
son knew Of the peril threatening the
martyred President"
~ am sure of it, yet he did nothing"
And at the very finish he made this
statement: "But, as have said before,
we are grateful to Wilson for under
standing that this is a social revolu-
ton, and for the sympathy which he
expressed in his stand against Huerta."

audience rose and applauded they sat
silent. Mr.. Mott had been too late IN
his application for seats 10 obtain 6
box, and the Colonel, hearing OF IT,
had directed that his be placed at the
commissions disposal.
During the speech Mr.. Mot. leaned
toward one or another of his compan-
ions TO explain the significance OF GER
tain phrases. When the Colonel came
to the subject Of Mexico he talked right
at the box where the commissioners
sat. and there was no need for eX-
plantations. Before that they had been
smiling, and even laughing now ana
then. When the Colonel opened ire on
Mexico the smiles and laughter van
ished.
Quotes Mexican Generals
Quotations from Generals Gonzales,
Aguilar and Oblegon were flung at the
box and the rest Of the audience Oy
the Colonel to show that those Mexican
officials had expressed doubt OF Pres
ident Wilson's frankness in dealing
with Mexico. ..
The dark faced men in the Colonel's
box shrugged their shoulders. When
General Aguilar was quoted as USING
the words "vacillating" and double
dealing" the Mexicans drew close TO-
gether and engaged in animated con-
versation in their own tongue.
Carranzas words of doubt concern
ing the Wilson policy, his assertion
that according 20 his words" wilson
was Mexicos friend and according to
his actions" its enemy, brought the
conversation TO an abrupt close. The
Mexican auditors froze in their seats
and wiped every trace Of expression
from their faces. Their blank looks
withstood the assertion attributed to
Carranza that he would prefer "a firm,
constant policy of antagonism with
Hughes to the present policy Of Will
son."

Washington, Dec. II. - William ]
Bryan, who startled the country ter
years ago by advocating government
ownership of railroads, appeared be
fore the Newlands Joint Committee on
Interstate Commerce last week In sup
port of the claim that the states should
be allowed to retain authority over the
regulation of all transportation lines
within their borders. Mr.. Bryan ex-
planned that he had long regarded gov
eminent ownership as Inevitable. but
only because of railroad opposition to
effective regulation.
Against Government Ownership.

planned, because lean to the indi-

Preservation Of Composition.
Mr.. Bryan. on the other hand, holds
4 that the further extension Of Federal
! authority over the railroads would be
step In the direction 0f government
ownership. He advanced the view that
! the GENERALIZATION offs control In the
hands of the national government
would impose too great burden upon
the regulating body, would offer strong
temptation to railroads to interfere in
politics and would encourage the gen
eral movement toward Capitalization
of power In the federal government at
the expense Of the states. He said that
he did not object TO consultations OF
railroad lines so long as they did not
destroy competition. that he knew of
no complaint against great railway
systems because of their size and that
he believed that the preservation OF
competition was the test to be applied
to all consultations.
Regulation Of Securities.
Mr.. Bryan declared himself In favor
Of national regulation Of railway stock
and bond issues. but added that he saw
no reason why that should exclude the
states from acting on the same sub,
ject as to state corporations. Il would
like to see the stock of railroad, as
long as 1t is In private hands, made as
substantial and as unvarying as the

He suggested that railroad capital.
zation be readjusted to equalize it with
actual vaiuation OF the property rep
resented, making due allowance for
equities and that when this was done
the roads Should be allowed to earn
sufficient income to keep their stock
at par and to create a surplus. The
latter. he tentatively proposed, might
be allowed to amount to % per cent
of the capital.
Railway Earnings Low.
This subject of railroad capitalization
and the amount of railroad earnings
received further attention from the
committee during its recent sessions
In answer to questions by Senator
Cumnins, Mr.. Thorn submitted figures
showing the net earnings of the roads
In recent years. These figures show
that during the five years from 1907
