Voice Chokes as He Refers to Those
Who Fell In Battle - Other Nations
Besides Germany Have ImperialistIc
Designs-Save Americas Influence.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-President
Wilson. speaking to a group of pro-
lpague Republicans today at the White
House, declared that the so-calIed
Americanism which we hear so much
about now is spurious and invented for
party purposes only" Appealing for
the completion of the great moral
achievement" which. he said, the war
represented, he continued: The war
will have been fought in vain and our
immense sacrifices thrown away unless
we complete the work we then began.
There is only one way to assure the
world of peace" the President declared,
land that is by making it so dangerous
to break the peace that no other nation
will have the audacity to attempt it.
The President warned his hearers
against supposing that imperialistic
schemes ended with the defeat of Ger
many or that Germany is the only ma
ton that entertained such schemes or
was moved by sinister ambitions and
loug-staI iliuS jealOusies to attack the
very structure of civilization
There are other nations said the
President, (which are likely to be pow
eTfully moved or are already moved by
commercial jealousy, by the desire to
dominate and to have their own way il
politics and in enterprise and it is nee
essary to check them and to apprist
them that the world will be united
against them as it was against Germany
if they attempt any similar thing. The

States will be absolutely thrown away

our soldiers and sailors so herOically

IF REMOVAL SUIT
is WITHDRAWN NOW
Would Also Have Speedy
Hearing on Petition for
Instructions to Trustees
and Later a Conference
With TOwnspeOple as to
Future Administration -
Local Counsel Ask Ques-
tiOns

The RefOrmer publishes today the text
of the proposition for settlement of the
long drawn-out Thompson fund litigation
submitted to counsel for the local seam
stresses society and the town by Rich
ards NJ. Bradley, one of the trustees of
the fund, together with a series of three
questions which local counsel have asked
Mr.. Bradley to answer pending their CON
sideration of his proposal.
Stripped of all legal verbiage Mr.. Brad
ley's proposition is this:
/. That the suit for his removal
as trustee be temporarily withdrawn
with the understanding that it may
be reinstated in court at any time
within two years.
.. That petition for Instructions
as to the duties of the trustees under
the Thompson will and decree be filed
Immediately and a speedy hearing
held thereon.
3. That a thorough investigation
of the administration of the trust be
made by some disinterested person or
persons if the petitioners so desire.
4. That after the petition for in
structions has been disposed of the
trustees win confer with the people
of Brattleboro for the purpose of inn
proving the trusts future administra-
ton.
In reply to this proposal counsel for
the local society of seamstresses, needle
women and shopgirls, Frank E. Barber
and o. B. Hughes, and the towns coun-
sci, 4. 2. Carpenter, have asked Mr..
Bradley:
]. If he is willing that the annual
| income from the Thompson trust
available for Brattleboro be all ex-
pended here within the meaning of
the will and decree.
>. If he is willing to appoint
| local advisory committee to have
voice in the administration of the
| fund locally?
3. If he is willing to have the
books and accounts of the trustees
examined by competent accountant?

"DURNED POOR JUDGMENT"
HOLCOMB, Of Con

GOVERNOR HOLCOMB, of Con-
~ necticut, who has refused to call
an extra session of the Legislature to
pass on the equal suffrage amendment,
reminds one of the bull which tried to
stop a railroad train. An Irishman
who saw what was left of the bull re-
marked, II admire your courage, but
you have burned poor judgment.
The governor explains that he is
sworn to obey the constitution of his
state. which restricts suffrage to males,
and that if he should call special ses +
sion of the Legislature and If the equal
suffrage amendment should be ratified
he would be participating in au amend =
ment to the state constitution made
without submission to the electors of
the state, and would thus violate his
oath to support the constitution.
This is the most ingenious and most
reason yet offered in JUS
tification of obstruction. If Governor
Holcomb had contcnted himself with
saying that he was opposed to equal
suffrage and would prevent it to the
extent of his power it would have been
possible to respect his courage. even if
one disagreed with him.

OWENS TREATY PANAcEA

DEIlEF. is spreading that there
- should be some amendment to the
constitution which will prevent a mi
nority from controlling the foreign policy
of the country.
Forty nine senator's voted for the
ratification of the peace treaty and only
thirty five opposed it. Here was a clear
majority of fourteen. But the thirty
five senator's were able to defeat the
treaty.
Mr.. Bryan has been saying that the
Democratic platform should demand an
amendment to the constitution which
would permit ratification of treaties by
u majority vote.
Senator Owen has anticipated the aC
tion of the convention by proposing a
to the states of an amendment providing
not only for ratification by majority
vote, but empowering the Senate to par
ticipate with the President in framing
treaties in the first place. His proposed
amendment reads:
The President shall have power, by
and with the advice of the. Senate, TO
frame treaties and, with the consent
of the Senate, a majority of the Senate
present concurring therein, to conclude
the same.
The existing provision regulating the
making Of treaties reads in this way:
He (the PresidenD shall have power,
by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, to make treaties, provided
two-thirds of the senators present con-
cur.
Senator Owen, we suppose, will argue
that if the advice of the Senate had been
obtained in framing the peace treaty it
would have been ratified long aso. But
this presupposes the ability of u ma
jority of the Senate agreeing on what
should so into the treaty. 1t apparently
would make the framing of any treaty
so difficult as.to be almost impossible.
The Senate may vote to submit the
Owen amendment to the states. but
there is doubtless practical sense enough
in the House to prevent its Endorsement
of any such extreme proposition. An
amendment providing for a ratification
by majority vote, while the President
was left free to negotiate treaties, would
have a better chance of meeting general
approval
