BARNES DENOUNCES
DRY LEGISLATORS

William Barnes, New York State Re

thought OF tho 'cowardly legislators
who helped Saharaize the United States.
The societys annual dinner <as In the
Hotel Plaza and Mr.. Barnes was the
chief speaker. He said:
Our republic Is In danger OF being
Prussianized into State socialism by the
acts OF our legislators and the acts
Of Congress. The members of those
bodies respond not to the thought Of
Lincoln. in behalf Of government for
the people. but government in response
TO the demand Of the most punitive
group OF the people.
I'VE have recently seen our Constitu-
ton, which should ever he a bond of
union and a universally accepted instru-
ment, debased by a tumultuous mob OF
legislators under the whip and lash Of
the Anti-Salcon League. Cowardice
or Intolerance led these men to violate
the liberty OF their fellow citizens, not
only for the present but for 80 long

those Legislators who succumbed. that
shocks the true American. The nrst
we're actusted BY that same passion
which brought into life and efficiency the
Jrquisition.
They disclosed nothing more nor less
than the will 10 power: nothing more
nor less than the Thing that we had sup
rosed we had killed on the battlefelds of
France; nothing more nor less than the
use of the instrument OF freedom to I'M
pose their will upon others who sup
posed they were equally free, and, under
the flag OF America have been up to this
time nothing more nor less than the
passionate demand which tyrsnts always
have, to make others believe as they
believe and do as they wish them TO do.
And what Of the spirit OF those who
succunbod? II was due TO lack OF ap-
;recist!on OF their Individual responsi-
bilitr. to a ?erversion of the idea of rap
resentation into the thought that repre-
sentation involves individual annihila-
ton.
I'VE do not want legislators in Con-

with pride to the vote cast by tho rep

eullGozed into voting dry.

AMERICAS VIEWS OF TIE ..
GERMAN COLONIES.

The question of the disposal of the
German colonies is one OF the most
interesting and at the same time most
difficult OF the problems facin& the
peace conference. III the colonies are
merely portioned out among England,
France, Italy, and Japan on the brln-
ciple that to the victors belong the
spells. it il difficult to see where any
advance will have been made oyer
the convential settlements of history.
On the other hand. self-determnatlon
of peoples is not a principle that can
be applied to nations that are lncara-
Bile of self government. What Is the
solution?
The first thing to make clear is
that if We mean TO do justice. no
single solution is possible. What Is
suitable for German East Africa may
be most inappropriate for Armenia.
The trade and capitalist interests
are interested first of all in stable
governments. This is for the sake of
their trade. But when they argue
that a stable government imposed
from the outside is best for the native
people themselves also. because it
gives them chance to become pros
porous, get an educated. and ulti-
mately learn government the
question IS dubious.
In opposition to this theory is the
idea that people will make faster
progress if They reform from the in
side that unless they can make mis-
takes and profit by them, no real ad-
vance will be possible.
In general, the United States has
in the past gone one the second
theory. a hundred years ago South
America was in dreadful turmoil,
uprisings and revolutions and count
er-revolutions were a daily occur
renee, While still far from cempc-
tent to rule themselves, nations
thought themselves quite competent
to rule their neighbors. Yet in spite
of all the disorder the United States.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS--
WHAT IT REALLY. MEANS
BY JOSIAH +. REED.

I little the nations settled down and
worked out stable Institutions. AT
the same time that they learned to
govern themselves, they learned some
moderation in the matter of trying
to govern other Yeop.es. And in all
this the control OF the United States
! was scarcely exercised.
| have mentioned this illustration
before. But ii is a thing ,hlt can not
be too prominently in our minds. 1t
is the guiding principle of our Mex
lean policy today. OF course, the
capitalists and interests do not like IT..
| The policy is not designed to please
them, but to give the Mexican people
chance to work out their own des-
tiny.
Yet while this is our policy in Mex
lco, we are apparently following the
other principle in the Philippines. We
are not leaving them to themselves,
but are ourselves maintaining the
government while we try to educate
the people in government. How
docs this happen
The opposition Is more apparent
than real. The Filipinos are obviously
not ready for complete self govern
ment. And we have been turning
the government over to the F'ilipinoS
Just as fast as possible-tn fact a
lttle faster, as it GEMS to many
of US
There is no real inconsistency in
our two policies. The Phiippi- es
Will have self-government as soon as
u could ~ any possibility succeed
We are leaving Mexico alone in the
knowledge that worse tangles than
that have sometimes Strengthened
themselves out In both cases We
are erring. if at ALL on the side of
faith in the native people.
In way. it is laying the stress not
50 much on property rights, the adj
vantage It is to man to be able to
accumulate property in peace, as on
human rights, the advantage II is to
man to he as soon as possible, free.
This idea is in accord with the
Monroe doctrine and all that is best
IN American traditions. At the peace
conference we shall do what we can

full care, according to an announce.
ment by President Wilson.
At once word was passed out thai
the United States of America should
become the mandatory power TO lool,
after the interests OF backward ana
bankrupt Turkey. 1t was pointed out
that the Turks have confidence in the
disinterestedness of the United States
and that this country has financed
and maintained Roberts and other ed
ucational Institutions in Turkey
through which ii has acquired great
influence among the Turks.
OF course, there is the other side
to be looked at Turkey is utterly
bankrupt. She owes hundreds of
millions to British. French, Dutch and
German bankers. Her people have
been taxed to the limit, and internal
conditions are such that little i'm
provement can be made gin produc-
ton until literally billions af dollars
have been spent for the scientific I'M
provement of agriculture and indus
try.
When such improvements are made
little of the trade thus arising would
come to the United States. Europe
could sell cheaper than we, just as
Europe buys practically everything
exportable produced by the TURKS.
Thus the United States would be-
come responsible for the payment OF
Turkeys debts 10 the European

out of the. Dardanelles. the great
trade route between southeastern Eu-
rope and the rest of the world, would
have to find ways of developing Tur-
kish productive power---all for the
benefit of European trade and fl
nances
But not the least Of the difficulties
the United States would have on her
hands would be dealing with the pref
udces of the Mohammedan peoples,
who regard all Christians as infidels
worthy Of massacre.
Certainly the man who suggested
the United States as mandatory for
Turkey was a humorist of the fist
order-and his humor is favored
with bitter sarcasm, such as Jonathan
Swift delighted in.
