SECOND DECLARATION OF INDE.
PENDENCE

Washington, March 1.-The Re.
publican Publicity Assn, through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
today gave out the following state
ment from its Washington Headquar-
ters:
"The British Wilsonian league OF
nations is dead, killed by the courage
Gus action of the Republicans of the
Senate in rising up at the critical mo-
ment and singing their names to a
document that amounts to a promise
not to vote for the league if it is pre-
sented to that body for ratification.
The reference to the Republican party
as the Party Of Protection takes on a
new significance in the light of its de-
mand that the United States must be
saved from the fatal blight of the Will
son league. Heretofore the slogan of
the Republicans has been protection to
American industries from destructive
foreign competition. Still adhering to
that principle the party now assumes
the new role of protector of American
liberty itself. Under the leadership OF
Lincoln the Republican party saved
the Union in the eventful days of '61,
and now it has again come to the res
cue of our imperilled institutions and
proclaimed to the world that govern
ment of the people, for the people, and
by the people shall remain the birth
right of Americans.
"Tike a second declaration of inde-
pendence rings the phrases Of the resr
olutions to which 81 Republicans Of
the next Senate signed their names in
the closing hours Of the most momen-
tous Congress in the history of the
country. In one sense it is a document
of war greater import than the Declar-
alton that gave freedom to the Amer
lean Colonists. The population Of the
country at that time was less than g.
OOO, 900, possessed of a national wealth
utterly insignificant when compared
with our present accummulations. Now
there are 1O.0O0,c0) souls within our
boundaries and 300 billions is not an
Cyerestimate Of our national resources.
The Declaration of '76 gave liberty
from foreign oppression to our fore
fathers, bequeathed by them to their
posterity through 143 years. The
Declaration of 10 assures the coun-
trv of a continuance Of that liberty
despite the attempts of men now in
temporary control of the Executive to
revert TO the conditions before the
Revolution. The tremendous develop
ment of the resources of America
that our laws and institutions have
made possible are to be preserved for
ourselves and our children; our Consti-
tuition is to remain the supreme law
q the land, untrammeled by any reg

is 1T NOT PROVIDENTIAL that
the first vital issue to come up

which most intimately and most

WHOSE FAULT,

Senator Reed, of Missouri, Demo-
crat, complains because the War De-
partment has delayed rehabilitation
at the instance Of labor union leaders
while farmers are ciamoring for the
return Of their sons from the army in
order that they may help with the
work. Like Senator Chamberlain, he
helped inflict this administration upon
tho country, and, like Chamberlain, he
