De NJ MOCRACY'S
FINE RECORD
Attorney General Palmer Tells
The National Committee
Of the Greatest
EXPLOITS OF HISTORY

SI11SAHO, NoJ
General Palmer told the Democratic
national committee at banquef
here tonight that it past achieve
ments assured future victory, the
party could write today the polltl-
cal history of the next decade, at
least.
But tn epeople do not ask what
of yesterday" he continued. "They
asw what of tomorrow Ours is the
peoples party and we do not deserve
to live if we cannot solve the peo-
pies troubles. Therefore we must
always be the progressive, the
new fashioned democracy.
THE hard won victory of Am
erican arms will prove but a hollow
and unavail;ng triumph if we q"
notmake certain that out of it shall
come greater liberty, better
America and a surer peace. To
these ends that Democratic party
purposes to consecrate itself.
Reviewing the achievements OF
the party since a Democratic maj
ority was returned to Congress at
the end of the Taft Administration
Mr.. Palmer declared it was signifi-
cant that the "olG-slanders' against
the party have been refuted. He cit
ed the nations participation in
world affairs were refutation of
the charge that the Democrats were
sectional in purposes; the tariff law
built upon the principle of fair
competition and the creation of
non-partisan tariff board in answer
to allegations that the party was
willing to sacrifice the prosperity
of the country to an economic theory
and pointed to the income tax am
endments, creation of the Depart
ment of Labor and the children's
bureau, passage of the eight-hour
workmen's compensation and Fed
eral reserve laws as other evidences
of party accomplishment.
"And the oneg reat slander
which they have been fond of re-
peating since the days of the Civil
war was that we could not fight a
war; the attorney general contln-
ued, "It was said that the Republi-
can party was the historic war
party and the Democratic party
might have some value in opposition
but to trust it to prosecute a great
war would be national suicide.
81 do not put the victory in the
world war in the proud list of DEM
Ocratic achievements. 1t was the
peoples war in peculiar sence. But
I do insist that we shall have no
more of the old slander that the
Democratic party cannot be trusted
to lead in a great war.
Let history begin to tell the truth
now and it will say that the COM
mon courage of our men and womeH
the combined effort of capital and
labor, the joint support of city and
farm, all were welded into an irres-
istlble force by leadership never
surpassed in the history of parlia-
mentary government. And that was
the leadership which the Democrats
gave to the world when it joined
it's practical achievements with Sts
high ideals behind Woodrow Will
son."

P PEOPLE OF
NORTH CAROLINA
Want the Daylight Saving Law
Repealed and our Rep
resentatives
FAVOR REPEAL MEASURE

WASElNGIO May 81 Ho
daylight saving law is destined to
go the way of RATS of other war
emergency legislatIon-to the junk
heap. Representatives in Congress
from North Carolina interpreting
the sentiment of rural life, will fig
ure in the repeal of the measure
that has been jocularly described
anything from daylight wasting to
of Congress to regulate the sun
and moon.
Senator Lee S. Overman came
out today flat-footedly for the re-
peal of the law, and over in the
House of Representatives, Congress
man, Claude Kitchin will figure in
having the measure erased from
the laws of the land. He is unequiv-
ocally opposed to the measure. Up
in the mountains of Western North
Carolina where the worxmen can
accurately guage the time of day
by the sun dial Representative Zeb-
ulon Weaver correctly interprets
the sentiments of his constituents
when he voices disapproval of the
law. He will vote for its repeal.
Down in Eastern Carolina where
the farmers hope to labor with the
intercourse of superficial regulations
letters of disapproval of the law
have drifted into the office of
Representative John Small. He will
vote to have the measure cancera,
thinking it has served its usefulness
with the signing of the armistice.
Representative Charles NJ. Sted-
man, hedged about by the opinions
of bankers and cotton manufactur-
ers of the Fifth district who might
slightly profit by the daylight saw
ing law, is somewhat undecided.
He is meditatfng.
Senator Simmons wishes to look
into the merits of the proposition
before he commits himself; mean
while farmers are writing the
North Carolina senators hoping
for its abandonment. Bill"
Leinster, clerk to Senator Simmons,
brings back from his home town
of Statesville an observation where
, the law operates to the disadvantage
of the farmer.
The grower of the crop and pro-
ducer of foodstuffs tolls until noon
on Saturday, hastens to the village
to draft upon his bank account only
to find that disparaging tfme-piece
of the city and country put him
to town some time after the bank
closed. He is an enemy of daylight
| saving-if he was not already of
| that faith.
The North Carolina delegation are
| receiving stacks of letters on the
| subject, rural folks almost without
an exception favoring the repeal
| of the law City dwellers, in some
instances, are urging a retention
of the law. Since North Carolina
is predominantly rural, when the
vote is cast lit is likely that the
solid tar heel delegation will ask
for a consignment of the law to
dead issues. Some 100000 farmers
in Iowa have signed a petition and
| forwarded it to Washington asking
| for the repeal of the measure.

OPPOSES CHANGES
IN NCOURTSMARTIA
Sec. Baker Approves Herman
RepOTt-CIaimS System Is
Necessary for Discipline.

In approving the report submitted
to him by Maj. Gen. Francis J. Ker-
nan, head of the special War Depart
ment board on cOurts-martial and
their procedure. Secretary Baker yes
terday took the official stand that the
present system should not be changed
except in minor details. Inferentially,
the Secretary upheld General Ker-
mans view that "cOUrts-martial have
always been agencies for creating
and maintaining the discipline OF
armies" rather than agencies for the
mice eXemplificatiOn of technical
rules Of law"
The War Department boards re-
port reflected the opinion of 225 Of
icers who were CircUlarized. More
than half Of these gave hearty ap-
provaI to the present system, forty
three condemned il as basically
wrong. and the remainder, total Of
sixty-seven, pointed out specific
weaknesses which they thought
should be remedied. Temporary Off
GERS were about equally divided for
and against any changes.
The most serious defect in the ex-
isting system. the report asserts.
arises from the lack of competent
trial judge advocates and counsel"
and as a remedy it is recommended
that defense counsel be appointed 70"
each general and special cour:-mar-
tial and that special Inducements be
offered young officers to study law,
in order that they may be fitted for
these and other special duties.
Declaring that the sovereign rem
edy" proposed by the most pronounc-
ed critics is to transfer administra-
ton to those who are lawyers first
and soldiers by courtesy only, Gen
eral Herman expressed the opinion
that this would make il impossible
for the commander to obtain among
his. troops the necessary discipline to
military success, which is the "hrst
purpose Of an army"
The report criticizes the pending
Chamberlain bill, which would take
from the President and the War De-
partment heads the power to review
court-martial findings and place ap-
peal "in civilian hands, pure and SIM
pie: that is, the court Of military ap-
peals, or in the quasi-Civilian legal
hands OF the judge advocates provid-
ed for general and special courts
martial" Under such a system, the
report holds, the power to discipline
effectively. inseparably bound up with
the power Of effective command,
would be paralyzed."
