FOR NATION'S UNREST
Fostering of Special Privilege
Makes Men Everywhere
Socialist in Theory,
He Declares.
Indianapolis, Aug. 20. Former
Judge Alton B. Parker of New York
delivered the address notifying Gov.
Marshall of his nomination for the
vice presidency today. Judge Parker
took his text from AVilson's speech of
acceptance wherein is considered the
partnership between government and
privilege. His method of treatment
was to declare the fact of the part
nership and the resultant public in
jury and that the republican party it:
solely responsible for the inaugura
tion of the partnership relation, in
stancing the tariff and combinations
to restrain trade and prevent compe
tition. He said that neither the re
publican nor progressive party could
be trusted to break up the partner
ship, but that the democratic party
could be relied upon to accomplish
that result. In his appeal to the peo
pie for complete trust and confidence
in the pending election, Judge Par
Iter referred to the tariff history of
the democratic party prior to ISfifi
Governor Thomas R. Marshall
of Indiana, in his formal speech
of acceptance of the democratic
vice presidential nomination, de
livered to the natlflcatlon commit
tee here today, attacked the repub
lican party on the grounds that it had
fostered special privilege to the point
of making men everywhere socialistic
In theory if not in conduct,
in this connection, he said:
"it is idle for a thoughtful man in
America, whether millionaire or pau
per, to longer play the ostrich. Safety
does not consist in hiding one's head
in the sands of either sentiment or
hope. It Is foolish for the vastly rich
tii keep on Insisting that more and
more shall be added to their riches
through a specious system of special
legislation ostensibly enacted to run
the government, in reality enacted to
loot the people.
"It is worse than ignorance for
them to iimlle at the large body of in
telligent Americans who regard them
selves as fortunate if the debit and
credit accounts of life balance at the
end of the year; and to assume that
the mighty many, who are becoming
convinced that that social system that
we call democracy is but a glittering
generality, willlong endure the Indus
trial slavery being produced.
"Whether voting the ticket or not,
men everywhere looking upon the
awful injustice of this economic sys
tem are becoming socialistic in theory
if not in conduot.
"And shall any fair-minded man
say that if it redounds to the Inter-1
ests of the people of this country that 1
a hundred men shall control its bus
iness to the good of everyone, that
there is anything fallacious in the
theory that government instead of
transferring business to a favotved few
tor the benefit of all should itself dis
charge that business for the benefit
of all.
"I do not hesitate to say that If it
be Impossible to restore this republic
to Its ancient Ideals, which I do not
believe, and I tnust make the ultimate
choice between the paternalism of the
lew and the socialism of the many,
count me and my house with the
throbbing heart of humanity. '
"The discontent In republican ranks
Is democratic discontent. How much
f it has reached the point where
wearied with the bad workings of a
good system, it Is willing to topple
hat system over and try something
new, I cannot prophesy.
"Three tirades of Citizens."
"But I am quite sure that what
ever badges men may wear In Amer
ica this vear, whatever ballots they
may cast and whatever battle cries
they may utter, there are but three
grades of citizens.
"The first grade is made up of the
favored few, their hangers-on and
'heir beneficiaries, who think the
eagle Is upon the dollar, not a an
emblem of liberty but as an emblem
of power and who look upon govern
ment as an annex to their business
affairs; these are they who In the past
years of republican misrule have
turned the tempio of constitutional
freedom into a money-changers mart
and have made of the co-ordinate
branches of the government obeisant
U' keys 0f tne jingling guinea.
"Tlio second grade consists of those
whose outlook upon life has boon en

we live, who have been taught by the
nool and the college, by tho press
"ad the magazine, who appreciate the
good things of life, whose horizon has
bc.'n en'.rgod and whose capacity for
V Jy and sorrow has been increased.
"Conditions have become unbear
able to them. They have reachod the
l'"lnt where, in the struggle for that
which they believe to be right, they
are willing to destroy the Ideals of the
republic. How many of these there

warm satisfaction it gives me to be

Atlantic City. Aug. 20 Mrs. Walter
F. Klem, wife of a Philadelphia bank
er, lay in bed and watched a masked
burglar steal Jewels worth $12,000
from her chamber in her summer
villa in Chelsea rather than take the
chance that the burglar might kill her
husband if she should wake him.
For 10 minutes Mrs. Klem kept
still, her eye on the robber as he ran
sacked the room. She' waited until
she was sure he had left the house
before arousing Mr. Klem.
He immediately alarmed the neigh
borhood, organized a posse of wealthy
cnttaeers and searched the neighbor
hood, some going in automobiles
while others combed the district afoot,
all to no avail.

detectives hastened to the cottage.
Their search, too, was futile, but they
heard a motor traveling fast toward
the back section of the resort. There
they heard the muffled noise of a fast
motor boat. This they were unable
to trace after a few minutes. It la
thought that the burglar had accom
plices, who assisted him In carrying
off the loot.

ASKS NEW CLAUSE
H !
President Wants to Let Courts
Pass on the Treaty
Question.
Washington. Aug. 20. Some of the
president's visitors today said they
thought he win, sign the Panama
canal bill, even If no assurance goes
through congress to the effect that the
act was not passed to abrogate the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
President Taft closed a day of con
ferences on the Panama canal bill
with a special message to congress
suggesting the passage of legislation
which would permit American ships
to travel the canal toll free and which
would also allow foreign nations to
test the legality of their provision by
suits in United States courts.
The president - discussed the mes
sage with senators and members of
the house and ifa wording was finally
decided upon at a meeting of the cab
inet yesterday. The message was read
in congress soon afterward.
It was the neiief here that a de
termined effort will be made to meet
the president's wishes, although some
leaders, particularly in the house,
were inclined to believe that the mes
sage meant no further action In
regard to the canal at the present
session.
Mr. Taft explained that he was
anxious to sign the present bill but
lied to assure : other governments
of the spirit of fairness on the part
of the United States.
The president was told that an act
of congress would have the effect of
abrogating any treaty previously
agreed to ami the decision of the Su
preme court over the Chinese exclu
sion act was given as authority for
the statement. His suggestion to con-
ress for additional legislation de
signed to prevent any such construc
tion as that of the Supreme court in
the Chinese case would allow foreign
ers to try their cause in the United
.Slates courts. It reads as follows:
"That nothing contained in the act
entitled 'An act to provide for the
opening, maintRan;e, protection and
operation of the Panama canal and
the sanitation and government of the
canal rtone' shall bs'deemed to repeal
any provision of the Hay-Paunceforte
treaty, or to affect the judicial con
struction thereof, or in any wise to
impair any rights or privileges which
have been or may be acquired by any
foreign nation under the treaties of
the United States relative to tolls or
other charges for the passage of ves
sels through the Panama canal and
that when any alien, whether natural
person, partnership, company or cor
poration considers that the charging
of tolls or the enforcement of any
other regulation under and pursuant
to the provisions of this act violates
In any way any such treaty rights or
privileges, such alien shall have the
right to bring an action against the
United States for a redress of the in
jury which he considers bimself to
have suffered and the District courts
of the United States are hereby given
jurisdiction to hear and determine
such cases and to decree the appro
prlate relief, and from the decision
if such District courts there shall be
in appeal by either party to the ac
tion to the Supreme court of the
United States."
This language," continued the
message, negatives absolutely any
desire on the part of congress to re-
I peal the Hay-Pauncefote treaty or to
I violate its provisions by this leglsla
I tion and leave open to any person who
I deems himself aggrieved by the provis
lions of the act an opportunity to ip
peal to our courts.
I think the importance of our
standing before the world as anxious
to give the world an opportunity to
test this question in the courts is an
earnest of our good faith in at
tempting to keep within our treaty ob
ligations.
"After a full examination of the
treaty and of the treaty which pre
ceded it I feel confident that the ex
emptlon of the coast-wise vessels of
the United States from tolls and the
imposition of tolls on vessels of all na
Hons engaged In the foreign trade 1
not a violation of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. But distinguished lawyers In
the house and senate differ from this
construction, and the secretary of state
has received an Informal protest from
the British government that the con
templated legislation Is a violation o
her treaty rights.
House Leader Recalcitrant
I am sure that It is not the In
tention of congress to violate the Hay
Pauncefoto treaty or to enact anything
inconsistent with its provisions and
that It certainly is not Its purpose to
repeal, by subsequent enactment, the
treaty, Insofar as It represents the
law of the land. It Is of the highest
importance, however, that this attl
tude should be made clearly known to
the nations of the world, and that we
should avoid any Justification for crit

$25,000.
SAYS 'TWAS EXPENDED
IN 1904 CAMPAIGN
And That Most of It Was
Used to Carry New York
for Colonel Roose
velt. Washington, Aug. 20. Senator
Penrose of Pennsylvania announced
today that he would make a privileg
ed statement in the senate tomorrow
regarding certain corespondence with
John D. Arch bold, of the Standard
Oil company. The alleged correspond
ence has been made the basis of a
general charge that Penrose accept
ed financial aid from Archbold about
the time of the 1904 presidential
campaign.
Atlantic City, Aug. 20. .Senator
Penrose had a long conference with
state and national leaders here and to
his most trusted lieutenants gave di
rections for counteracting the attempt
hich he admits is to be made bv
William Flinn to have him Impeached
in the United States senate.
After the conference Senator Pen
rose announced that he was ready to
eet the charge.
The senator said:
"If I am to be called to the bar of
the senate to answer the accusation
gainst mc would it be right for me to
expose my defense before I was charg
ed with the act which Is hinted at? I
m ready to answer at any time the
accusation and I defy any one to say
mat i ever used corporation money
for any purpose.
I will say, however, from what I
recall of the incident that most of this
money went to the treasurer of the
republican campaign committee and
that the greater portion of it was
sed In carrying New York state for
Roosevelt in the presidential cam
paign of 1904.
"I do not propose to make any at
tempt at specifying in what channels
this money went. In fact I could not
say without consulting those through
whose hands it passed, but what was
done was perfectly regular and what
has been the custom in the affairs of
every political organization and I only
want some one to make the direct ac-
usation that I had anything to do
with spending this money or any por
tion of it. Whoever does will find that
he has made a most serious blunder
nd I welcome an Investigation.'
Further than this Penrose refused
to talk on the Archbold check for
25,000. as he said he had not made
p his mind whether to do so on the
floor of the senate this week or by
giving out a statement through the
news agencies.
From Representative ' Olmstead It
was learned that the Senator was con
templating asking that the senate
committee take up the question before
the impeachment proceedings were
brought, but that he had been advised
to consult with the president before
he took any final action in the mat
ter
Senator Penrose was never in more
determined mood than now. He con
f erred with his lieutenants at the
Shelburne and he Intimated that those
who had accused him had forgotten
or were ignorant of the real political
conditions that existed in 1904 or they
would never have made the charge
against him
The belief here is among the Penn
sylvanla leaders that Penrose will
himself take the initiative after his
talk with President Taft and that he
will make a statement, backed up by
figures from the National Republican
committee.
Washington, Aug. 20. The news
that Col. Roosevelt's name may be
drawn into the disclosures in regard to
the $25,000 contribution made by John
D. Archbold of the Standard OH com
pany to Senator Penrose of Pennsyl
vania in 1904 has caused a stir here
It will be recalled that the cam
palgn of 1904 was enlivened at one
stage by
a charge made by Judge
Parker, the democratic nominee, that ed. The woman had a fancied griev
the republican national committee was ance that her husband, Dr. John Ma
receivlng large contributions from the rlon Edmunds, whom she had sued
trusts. President Roosevelt was
thrown Into a ras-e bv Parker's charge
and dared him make good.
Parker's friends have contended
since that he had Information in his
possession at the time, but that he
was obliged to withhold It on ac
count. of Daniel S. Lamont refusing to
release him from a pledge of conll-
dence.

Rainey Charges "Trodden
Trail" Leads from Aus
tin's Offices to Those Of
Waterpower Trust.
TENNESSEAN BITTER
IN DEFENDING COURSE
Refers to Opponent as "De-
famer from Illinois" in a
Fiery Speech Commit
tee Approved Bills.
Washington, Aug. 20. Representa
tives Rainey of Illinois, democrat,
and Austin of Tennessee, repubuican,
fought a wordy battle in the house to
day and exchanged personalities.
Each had 54 minutes of time allow
ed under a special rule.
Rainey charged that Austin was
personally interested in waterpower
legislation, that he was one of the
incorporators of the big company in
the vicinity of Knoxville to be bene
fitted by - pending legislation and
that a "trodden trail" led from the
congressional office of Austin to the
offices of the so-called waterpower
trust.
The incident was a sequel to a re
cent exchange of personalities be
tween the two members when Rainey
objected to certain bills introduced
by Austin and Austin retaliated by
calling Rainey a "dreamer and dema
gogue.' Austin sprang to his feet Immedi
ately when Rainey concluded and
with genuine bitterness began his re
ply. He referred to Ralney'a Indict
ment of Charles P. Taft In connection
with the Panama canal acquisition
and declared these charges unprov
ed. "And the defamer from Illinois,"
he added, "was unmanly enough not
to retract his landers."
Rainey sat only a few seats away.
Austin said his waterpower bills had
been passed upon by the house in
terstate commerce committee, every
member of which "was the peer of
the gentleman from Illinois.'
