CLASH IN SENATE
OVER PEACE TALK
Lawmakers Disagree on Debate
OF Wilson's Plan.
CUMMINS ASKS DISCUSSION
Iowa Man Favors Weeks Debate on
Question, But Stone objects and
Action Is Deferred-Scheme
Held Peril to Canal.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Cum
Minis of Iowa submitted resolution
to the senate which would devote the
senate, beginning next Monday, to a
full and free discussion of the presi-
dents world-peace policy expressed In
his message. All other business would
be excluded until every senator had
an opportunity to speak not more than
an hour.
Chairman Stone of the foreign rela-
tons committee objected to immediate
consideration and action was deferred.
The resolution cited that inasmuch
as the presidents address called for
no official legislative action and that
the president had invited free and
frank expression of opinion for guild
ance in Il matter involving the integ-
rity of the nation and peace Of the
world, 1t was the duty of the senate
to thoroughly consider the proposals
and to advise the president regarding
them.
Stone Objects to Weeks Discussion.
in the present pressure of public
business" said Senator Stone. II shall
have to object to setting aside a whole
week, for that's what 1t would take,
merely to hear speeches or opinions
regarding the presidents address made
yesterday. Such n thing is wholly out
of the question Mt this time"
Senator Cummins insisted that his
resolution had right to lie over for
day without reference, and said he
would object to its going to the com
mittee. Senator Stone then withdrew
his motion and the question will come
up today, and probably will precipi-
tate general debate of all the issues
involved.
Plan Held Peril to Canal Rule.
That literal working out of the pres
idents suggestions regarding direct
outlet to the great highways of the
seas" for all nations would mean COM

This Interpretation mentioned con-
stitutes symposium of expressions Of
opinion by belligerent and neutral Of

meant when he declared mo nation

the open paths Of the worlds com
merce" In his address to the senate.
- All diplomats questioned held
strictly to the rigid rule that they
should not be quoted.
Some, especially those who repre-
sent land-locked nations, said natural
ly their home governments would favor
such program.
Among the foreign officials who dis
cussed this phase Of the presidents
address were German, British, French,
Spanish and South American officials.

The Responsibility for Corrupt and
Inefficient Government.

1t Is time that the responsibility
for bad men in office, for 'invisible
government, for venal and corrupt
practices In public servants, be put
upon those whose neglect Of duty
enables evil Influences to control the
election. The better element is
always In the majority in every COM
munity and can always control the
situation IL 1t desires to do so. When
things get unexpectedly bad and the
people are thoroughly aroused, how
quickly are desirable changes brought
about! But when the people seem TO
have disposed of the particular condi-
tion that thus arouses them, they
fall back into state of Inference
and let the sinister Influences have
the fleld again.
Truly, eternal vigilance is the
price of good government. We can
not find Or enjoy it through any other
means. Our blessed old republic was
not framed for laggards or towards,
but for brave men and women ever
and always alive to the duties and
obligations that rest upon them as
citizens.
We seem sometimes tn labor under
the strange belief that legislation can
take the place OF that individual
exertion required Of citizen. We
discover some new evil aud immedi
ately become excited over the passage
of new statute, and then we leave
the statute to execute Itself Senator

Decrease in Breweries and Distil-
leries

Both breweries and distilleries in
the United States are feeling the eff
fects OF prohibition. According to
the report of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue in 1914 there we're
l,4l5 breweries in the United States.
During 1915 this number was reduc-
ed to 1872, a decrease of al, and
during 1910 there was further re-
dnction of 40, or total decrease in
two years OF 81 breweries. Distiller-
les have Jared even worse. A total
of 743 distilleries are reported for
the year 1914. The report for 1915
showed decrease of 108, and for
1910 decrease of 30 more, or total
OF l5S distilleries closed during the
past two years. The American Con
tractor tells the same story in a little
different form. During the year
l9oo there was a total of $l4, 44o, :
W. spent on new breweries and dis
tilleries. During the year 1915 the
amount OF money spent in this way
was only S42o, SOC. For the inter
venlng Years the figures show a
steady and even decrease.

Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States Navy

To The American People:
The Secretary OF the Navy has warded
contracts amounting to over 100000
to a British bidder for Ia and l6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because Of very
much lower prices offered by the English
bidders.
We know nothing Of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
lie is entitled to know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 4, 200 I4-inch shells at
price of $l,5l5,AOO. Up to now
not a single shell has been ac-
cepted by the Government, al
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, ETC., on these
orders $522, 1881, and we have not
received SINGLE DOLLAR on
these contracts.
In addition. literal Interpretation of
the contract might snake US liable fos
penalties amounting to s67S.0l6.
In the light Of our expert ence, and hav-
ing no other basis, we bid for l6-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded l4-inch shell
contract one year ago.
