The Presidents Message.

President Wilson's message to Con-
gress, not delivered in person, but IN
the former style Of presentation, Is
one of the briefest Of his addresses to
that body. 1t is notable in that 1t
makes no mention directly Of the sub.
ject of paramount interest, that OF
peace making and league Endorsement,
though 1t may be read in interpreta-
ton with bearing upon that theme.
The President takes his text from
the sentence Of Abraham Lincoln: Let
US have faith that right makes might,
and in that faith let us dare to do our
duty as we understand it." The faith.
he says, was the force that prevailed
over Germany, and was the spirit in
which our men went into the fields and
upon the sea to make sure Of victory.
In the keeping of that faith, says
the President, it is the duty of the
United States to insure that democ-
racy will meet its final test. This
country must offer within its own Dor.
ders an example Of "the will and pow.
.er Of democracy to make and enforce
laws which are unquestionably just
and which are equal In their admin
istration.'
In practical matters the President
points to certain needs to aid in the
restoration of the country from the
disturbing and disastrous effects OF the
war. One of these is a budget system.
which he hopes will be provided by
LEGISLATION at this session in a form to
meet the objections on constitutional
grounds raised against preceding legts'
lation.
In his report on the financial con-
dition of the country the President
notes the fact that within the next
two and a half years seven and haif
billions Of war indebtedness Will ma
ture, and the fiscal program OF the
royernment must be determined with
reference to these maturities. There
must be rigid economy, vigorous sal
wage operations and adequate revenues
from taxation to realize surplus o.
current receipts over expenditures to
be applied to the floating debt. Re.
yision of the tax laws Is an urgent
necessity. SimpiiAcation IL required

and expense and to make hts habfHy

A sympathetic. note b struck In Q
paragraph dealing with the problem
Of providing adequate facilities for the
care and treatment Of former members
Of the military and naval forces who
are sick or disabled as a result Of
their participation in the war. The

Escaped Prisoner Leads
Wild Chase i'm Broadway
Knocks Down Two Policemen,
but Is Recaptured i'm Midst
of Excited Crowd

Marcel Cortes, an alleged vagrant
whom Patrolmen Pooler and Turk, of
the West Thirty-seve Street police
station, were taking to the West Side
prison. knocked them both down and
broke away last night when they were
almost in front of the prison, in Fifty
third Street, between Eighth and Ninth
avenues.
Running at a speed that left the
patrolmen far behind, he reached
Broadway and started south, taking to
the middle of the street. 1t was about
II o'clock, and he had hundreds of
vehicles to dodge in every block The
sidewalks were thick with pedestrians,
who took up the chase by thousands,
some of the more daring running in the
car tracks.
One of the excited pursuers, none of
whom knew who the fugitive was or
why he was fleeing, drew a revolver
and fired several shots. The bullets all
went wild.
The reports were heard by Patrolman
O'Connor: Of the West Forty seventh
Street police station. who was saunter-
ing through Forty-ninth Street. He
reached Broadway just as Cortes
passed the corner and started after
him. A little below the corner two
taxicabs among the score or so which
had taken up the chase, forced Cortes
into traffic pocket, where O'Connor
collared him.
A few minutes later Pooler and
Turk came putting up and took their
prisoner to Jail, where he is to await
examination this morning.

Edwards for White Supremacy
Referring to Edwards, the editorial
says, in part: "Harry Stillwell Ed
wards is a candidate for the Senate on
a progressive ticket He it was who
proposed to insure white supremacy in
Georgia by having two prlmaries-the
first one to be by the Democrats and
the second to be a white primary. 1t
is safe prediction, that Edwards will
be astonished with the vote he will get
with Watson for his opponent. And
Edwards has as much claim upon the
Democrats as has Tom Watson-per-
haps more"
The Telegraph Insists that the
Democrats OF Georgia owe Tom Wat
son nothing.
Edwards was for number of years
postmaster Of this city and he was a
personal friend Of the late Colonel
Roosevelt.
Betting started here to-day that
Watson would never be seated in the
United States Senate. Part of this is
based upon the bolt of dissatisfied
Democrats and part upon the posi-
bility that the Senate will refuse to
seat him because of his record during
the war.
Evidence against Watson's patriot
ism was collected, it is understood, to
present to the San Francisco conven-
ton If necessary, and this may 60 be-

ator's 'Doings and Lack of Do

Senator George r. Thompson, who is
seeking the Republican nomination for
Governor, and Jacob A. Livingston, the
Brooklyn Republican leader, engaged
in warm debate in the clubhouse of
the 22d Assembly District, 236 Barley
Street Brooklyn, last night The
clubrooms were crowded.
Livingston made bitter attack on
the Senator. Before introducing him
the Brooklyn leader read from type
written copy. record he had compiled
of the "doings and lack of doings" Of
the Senator during the war. He urged
the people to be careful and not to put
in office a0man whose record was mot
spotless in a patriotic way
Senator Thompson, in his speech,
said he would answer Eivingston's
charges in the newspapers. He denied
the charges of pro- GermaniGm, attrib-
ntcd to him by the Brooklyn leader.
Senator Thompson said he was a friend
of the Germans who came to this
cc''7try to escanc Prnssianism.
He created a favorable impression in
replying to the attack. despite the fact
that he was talking in the district of

credit for bringing to California the
first national convention of either
major party ever held west of Denver,
which will get him some votes, but the
fight this year in California, as else
where, is more of fight between par
ties than of individuals. The trend is
clearly toward the Republican and away
from the Democratic party out here.
Under the California direct primary
law each political party must hold q
state convention at Sacramento within
the next two weeks.
The Republican convention, at least,
will be of Importance because it will

ton of the Republican convention will

MACON, Ca, Sept. 10.-That the
Democrats of Georgia who are opposed
to Thomas E. Watson will bolt the
ticket, in so far as the Senatorship is
concerned in the coming general cleo
ton, appears certain. Watson, former
Populist candidate for the Presidency
onetime Congressman and editor of a
newspaper that was barred from the
mails during the war because of alleged
seditious utterances, won in Wednes-
days primary for United States Sena-
tor over Senator Hoke Smith and Gov
crnor Hugh M. Dorsey.
Thousands of voters remained away
from the polls at the primary and
there is every indication now that
these will be rounded up with The bolt

and progressive Republican, who has

Democrats and Republicans alike
point to the fact that Watson himself
is a bolter; that he has been bolter
heretofore, and is refusing to abide by
the platform of the San Francisco con-
vention because the Watson-Smith
coalition delegation to that convention
was turned down and the Palmer dele
cation from Georgia was seated.
The Macon Telegraph, in an editorial
tomorrow morning, will give hope for
Democrats who are dissatisfied with the
selection of Watson as Senatorial can
didate.~
Watson Often a Bolter
Senator Watson has bolted the Dem
ocratic primaries so often" The Tele-
graph will say, cit would be no novel
sensation for him to have q dose of his
own medicine administered. The Tele-
graph is not quite ready to say that
this should be done by the regular,
self-respecting Democrats in the com
ing general elections, but who can say
to treat this old maverick this way
would be improper? Didn't he show us
how? Didn't he treat with contempt
practically every primary he ever en-
tered? Didn't he treat with contempt
the Democratic party in 1895? Doesn't
he repudiate and denounce the San
Francisco platform? Doesn't he repu-
date the Democratic Administration
Is there anything about the Democratic
party or the Democrats that he has any
respect for?
"Then why should the Democrats
stand by and let him go to the United
States Senate as a Democrat from
Georgia."
