Washington, Jan. 81. y After an
unsuccessful attempt had been made
yesterday to reach an agreement be-
tween the Democrats and Republicans
on the disposition of the resolution in
troduced by Senator Borah reaffirming
the faith of the Senate in the Monroe
Doctrine and Washington's advice to
avoid "entangling alliances" the Idaho
Senator declared in a speech before
the Michigan Society last night that
all proposals of alliances and leagues
to enforce world peace inevitably
would commit the United States to q
course in direct conflict with the policy
OF Washington and Monroe.
IF the people of this country want
to enter European politics, the SEN
ator said, take part in Euro
pean controversies, become en-
tangled in its dynastic dissensions;
if they want to furnish money and
soldiers, ships and men to be subject
to the call of some tribunal or league,
in which tribunal we will have but one
vote, very well.
The people have a right to enter
that perilous course if they choose,
for this is the peoples governm ent.
But let us understand perfectly what
it means before we take the step. Let
us not be deceived nor deceive our
selves. We should debate and con-
these are the steps which, once taken,
it is impossible for a people to re-
trace.
Once in the maelstrom of Euro
pean politics and it will be almost
impossible to get out Once involved
in the matter of economically boy
cotting or in the matter of enforcing
DEGREES by military force, it will be
virtually impossible to get back to
the policy under which we have lived
and strengthened for more than a
century.
THE singular and startling vicious
ness of this whole proposition of a
league to insure peace or enforce
peace is this:
I'VE enter the league; we contribute
our portion of ships and soldiers for a
police force of the -world-a force
large enough and strong enough to
crush those who do not submit their
vital interests to arbitration or con-
ciliation. Then some question arises
as to immigration, citizenship or of
territorial propinquity to which we de-
cline as people to submit, especially
to tribunal so preponderatingly in
numbers against us. Then we have
agreed in advance that this force
which we have helped to create shall
attack and assail us as a people.
without assuming to assail indi-
viduals, 1 denounce this principle as
perfectly vicious, as perfectly heinous,
indefensible in morals and not even
hardly a proper subject for these aft
er-dinner SDeecheS,'

DUPLICATION OF
PAY ENDED IN'15
Lamentable Lack of Knowl-
edge About Some Recent
Legislative Enactments

Men connected with the disbursing
ernment to-day declared that there
appeared to be a lamentable lack of
knowledge of tie provisions of the act
OF 1915 relative to pay of legislative
employees prevalent in quarters in
Harrisburg presumed to be well in
formed.
1t was said at legislative offices that
the act of 1915 was passed to stop
duplication of pay and that employees
were not doubled up" between the
organization of the two houses and
the naming of new employees.
The conditions were to-day de-
scribed as follows: Men carried over
from the session of 1915 and not re-
appointed were paid from the start of
the session to .Januarya22 and men re-
appointed will be paid for one month
and no more, willie new appointees
will be paid from the day they were
put into place and not from the start
of the session. Men appointed to new
places, where the salary is different
from the place they held in the session
of 1915, will be paid at the salary
fixed for their old place until January
22 and for the remainder of the month
at tie pay of the new place"
A case in point is the. speaker S
page in the House. This page was q
senate page at 50 a day and will be
paid for that until the 22nd when he
became speakers page. He will be
paid SO day from the 22nd.
AS far as known no Democrats since
the days of Jesse J. Lybarger are on
record as having refused to take any
pay and whether Mr., Lybarger finally
cashed his check after getting due
publicity in certain democratic
newspaper is occasionally tie subject
of a guessing game on Capitol Hill.
One man to-day said relative to the
objections to the high cost of prayers
that he wondered whether the Demo-
Gratis thought prayer should be dis
