We contend that the Hon. Josr.puu
amerce Tisirnv's right to mingle
with the polltldnns of New Jersey
and Olaewhere, to engage In the prnc
Uaa and even In the artifices of pre
prlmary politic!. Is as far beyond
qoaatton as the right of any other free
lamli mi citizen. Thnt right Is In
alienable. It vms nut abrogated when
Mr. Tcmittt entered Alba Doraui
te become the Just jot merciful cus
todian of lils august principal's pro
cloua minutes, the Joy and solnoe of
ihe watchfully uniting throng lit ttio
threshold, the court of ultimate np
peal In the cane of every appllcrjit
for audience with the sole exception
of Oblooel M aon a Douus.
True It Is, also, that when Mr.
TUMTJirr goes forth to exorcise his
Individual rights as it free agent, und
announces that in Presidential and
other politics he Is speaking and act
ing for himself nlone, his statement
to that effect la entitled to unhesitat
ing credence.
Thla perfectly obvious distinction
between the Hon. Josr.ru i s P. Trw
iitt aa the friend, mentor ami pro
tector of the Chief Magistrate and
the Hon. J. Patriots Ti-mixty as
aaonahackled Democrat Betting ready
to CUt his untrammelled vote for li
Democratic candidate for President
next November will be accepted by
nil fair minded Americans without
further discussion. The more fre
quently Mr. Tvmclty appean In the
conferences of political preparedness,
the more freely Mr. Tt'llutTT talks
about his Individual views and hope
for 1816, the nenrer we shall got t,,
knowing what he, at an unbiassed,
unprejudiced, uncoiiared Democrat of
shrewd sense and t'eltle Intrepidity,
thinks of the one term plank In the
Baltimore platform.
To many Democrats who cherls'i
the honorable obi ideas about fidelity
to party promises this one term plant:
la now a consideration of prime im
portance. Here Is the text of thnt
solemn, authoritative declaration:
"WO fawor a alngle I'resi dentlal term,
and to that and urjfe the adoption of an
amendment to the Oonartiiutlon making
the PraaVdent of the United State In-ehg-ibVa
Sf reele-tion, ami ue pledge
rfes oaiMildara of this convention to thl
principle."
Mr. Tujii'LTY will observe that here
are two separate enunciations of prin
ciple and policy. The Democracy on
Ha own part commits Itself unre
servedly to the principle of a single
term and pledges the candidate of
the Baltimore convention, the Hon.
Woodbow Wilson, to that principle.
There Is no qualification to either
flpelarsilnn or ntodee ni.il tho Inn, I.
lng character of the former and the !
aanctltv of tho latter are rianandant
Upon no subsequent contingency. Tho
Democracy Itself is bound In moruls
and good fnitU by the principle as
fully aa If tho steps toward Its en
actment in the fundamental law hud
been taken after the election.
The lOOand part of this historic
declaration announced the policy
which was to enforce the principle
upon Republicans as well as Demo
crnta by meuns of an amendment to
the Constitution of the Jutted States,
it la a fact that the Democratic Con
gresa haa not yet fulfilled thla part of
7. .. '
lta convention nrogramme, It is Ilka
wtae a fact that tho candidate of thel

this principle, and elected on thnt
pledge, has not tip to the present
time taken occasion by special mes
sage or otherwise to remind the Iietn
ocratlc Legislature of Its duty to good
faith und common political honesty.
But these facts, as muat be clearly
perceived by a mind so adequately
fortified us Is Sir. TUMCLTV'l aj-'ainst
the sophist lies of politicians, In no
wuy affect the validity of the declara
tion of principle or the binding chur
ueter of tlie pledge Itself.
Otherwise, supposing Sir. Wilson
to he working for renomlnatlon and
reelection, we should have a hor

The one way nt would be the
ftflimrn repiidlHtlon of the slnule term
det'laratlon it 101'.'; square repudia
tion of that principle for the political
and personal benefit of the very can
didate pledged to abide by It.
Can n Democrat as independent, aa
unbiassed and as honorably sophlstl-
cated aa the Hon. Josapiiua Patrk ius
Tumuitt contemplate without hor
ror the certain consequences of auch
a repudiation T What credit could
then be attached to a single declara
tion, a solitary pledge of the plat
form of 1916 on which the beneficiary
of the repudiated pledge of 1912 waa
running for the office and asking the
country to believe In his political and
personal trust worlhtneaa In the mat
ter of promisee?
Mr. TrMtnrr muat remember that
his eminent employer haa on more than
one occasion put himself behind the
Baltimore platform, not above It He
has more than once summoned his
party to political action on the

validity, neither more nor lean aa
the single term declaration and pledge
He has even recognised other decla
rations in this same code of creed as
more authoritative than his personal
Inclinations. If necessary we could
furnish Mr. Tvuwrr with the speci
fications. More than that, the candidate of
the Baltimore convention waa not
nominated until at least four days
lifter the existence of the proposed
single term resolution was known to
the delegatea and to the public gen
erally. It has been argued, we be
lieve, by some apologists of repudia
tion, that the plntform waa not for
mally adopted until some minutes af
ter the nomination of Woooaow Wil

cumstance in some way relieves Mr.
Wilson from responsibility for the

his behalf. Those special pleaders for
iniquity are not men of Mr. Tt-Min.
ty a straightforward processes of
mind; for he knows, us they must
know, that Mr. Wilson accepted the
! platform and accepted the pledge
when he nccepted the nomination af
ler the convention hail adjourned.
Once more, Mr. Timtlty's unsur
passed memory for political detail
must retain the fact that the single
term pledge, known to the delegates
at least four days before the decisive
voting, constituted one of tho condi
tions upon which the supporters of
the Hon. CaAMV Ci.ark turned to
Woooaow YVii.son. On the forty-second
ballot of that protracted contest
Dr. Wiisov received only 4M votes
to Mr. Clark's 4So ; and 725 votes
were necessary to a choice. The del
egatea who had steadily voted for
'it amp Ol abk made possible the nom
ination of Wootmow Wilson know
ing that the platform pledged both
the party and Its candidate to a sin
gle term.
Such is the boulder on the single
track, it now blocks the single track.
Any Democratic candidate for a sec
ond term proceeding down that track
must inevitably encouuter the insur
mountable obstacle and como to
moral smash.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
A Rneaeteltlaa Analysis ef Ike tael
dents nf 1019.
To THS KIiitos or Till Hi-n -Hit From
n aaflaaal Of "Whal Might Have lleen"
by T." of Ilotlon, and of letle.ra by
others, one might be led t conclude that
the troiAle m the RepubUoan party had
Its beginning In mil, and that Colonel
Roue Vlt was the only one who waa
connected with It.
There ara two general dlvlalone of
dleiKisttions or temperaments ; namely,
those who rare nothing for anvbodv
eiuftpt themaeh-ea and whose every ef
fort la for their own selftah enda, and
those who oare for somebody and some
thing besides tbemoelvea and who are
willing to strive for the euooee and ad
vancement of others.

These dlspovitlona being: naturally at

ANN M'CARTY.
A Daughter of tbe Proud Kageeian
MaeCarthaJgbs, CbJeft of Desmond.
To thi Eorroa or Tub Bon Sir: Mr.
P. A Phllbln of Archbald. Pa., asks a
to "Ann IfcCarty, a relative of th
mother of Washington." flom year 4ro
I traced tbe genealogy of the MoCaxty.
who have figured with more or lea
prominence In Virginia hlatory sine th
nrt quarter of the eighteenth century.
If your correspondent can examine th
record of the McCerty In the Nw Tork
Public Library he will find It an In
teneoly Intarutlng tory of an Irish
Colonial family that Is llttla known to
reader of American hlatory.
Ann Mccarty waa a daughter of
Dennio MoCarty and his wife, Sarah
Ball, a record of whoa marrlajre I found
In tbe parish register of Cople Parish.
Westmoreland County, Va., under dat
of September 22, 1724. Sarah Hall was
of the celebrated Vtralnla family of that
name, of whom Mary Hall Wnshlngton
wa a ditlnaillied member. Sarah
waa a dauKbler of William Hall, brother
of Joseph Rail, th father of Mar)'. So
that the exact relationship between Ann
MeCarty and Mary nail, the mother of
Wahlnton, wa that of second cousin.
Ann Mccarty's fsther was a eon of Cap
tain rantel MeCarty, who, with Ms
brother. Dennl. was exiled from Ire
land In after their estates wore
connocated to th Crown. They located
OB the Potomac River, where tn 1692
they founded th rreaent town of Kin
sale, doubtless called after Klneale In
Ireland, one of the ancestral seats of tlie
ancient house of M.,cCarthalsh He
i we. i: 1711 and 1T20 Daniel waa Speaker
of the Virginia House of Hurgesses. He
married Ann l.ee Kltxhugh, widow of
Colonel Wllllajn FltxhuKh and daughter
of Richard Ie of Vlriflnla. Hy his wilt,
dated March 29, 1724, he disposed of a
large estate In lands, bouses, slaves.
Jewelry und plat of Kreat value, and a
portion of thl family plat 1 still In
tis. tioseesslon of one of hi descendants.
It waa brouaht from Ireland and Is em
blazoned with the shield and crest of the
Hurls of Mountnashel and Earla of Clan
catty. Penal, the father of Ann MeCarty,
held various Colonial office In his time,
and on July IS, 1762, h wsa chosen one
of the Council of Alexandria tn succeed
Lawrence Washington, th half brother
of Ocoiao Washluaton His brother,
Ixaniel MeCarty. was elected In 1742 a
Representative to th General Assembly.
In his Will, oated Msy 16. 1744, Daniel
named hi "well beloved fr1nds Au
gustine Waablnatou, Preiey Thornton.
Joseph Morton and Lawrence Hutler
executors " Augustine Washington wa
the father of Ueorae Washington. The
Mi Carty home Waa not far from that of
tlie Waahingtoaa with whom they were
on most Intimate term and th names
Of several of the MeCarty are found on
tho records, about 1745, of Old Pohlnk
Church, near Mount Vernon, where
Washington worshipped, and In that
church may 1 seen the pew of Daniel
MeCarty, directly opposite that of the
Waahlngtona in the "Official Paper
Of Governor Dinwiddle" may also lie
seen the application of George Wash
ington on behalf of Dennis MeCarty, "a
gallant frontiersman," for an appoint
ment as lieutenant tn the regiment com
m mded by him In 1735.
The names of the MeCarty nd their
desoan danta are found in the land bioks
and in the court and church record of
eight Virginia counties, nnd on the Revo
lutionary roster of Virginia 1 And the
names of thirty-two .Mccartys, several
of whom were ortlcers, all descendants
of tiie Irish exiles. Daniel and Dennis
MeCarty, and In th adjoining State of
Maryland thirty McCartya are ao re
corded, eomo of whom were of th Vir
ginia branch.
For some unknown reason th Vir
ginia MeCarty have received llttl space
in the work of the historians, but much
that t romantlO I found in their lives
They gave many handsome women,
courtly gentlemen and gallant soldier
to the Colony Of Virginia. They were
a wealthy, proud and Independent peo
ple; th ons of the third and fourth
generation tn descent from Daniel and
Dennis MeCarty led the easy Uvea of
country gentlemen when their country
did not need their services in tiie coun
cil ehamber or the held; the daughters
w-ere educated and titled to hold place
with eieiftince and dignity In the beet
fcoelety of the Colonies, and their prog
eny are to-day scattered all over the
laud. They beid their heads high, as
befitted th deaoendanta of the ifaeCar-
thaigiis of the old Kuifentan race, who

THE MERCHANT MARINE.
Let Mr (secretary McAdoo Consider
This Anerlcaa lltliea's Statement.
To Till EoiToa or Tub Sun Hlr - The
president of the International Seamen's
Union has arrived In New York city,
preceded by Kedfleld, Wilson, McAdoo,
all ehoutlr g In favor of the I a Follette
ship bill: a bill that baa driven the
American Mag off the Paelflo run. These
men act aa if the people In New York
and Vicinity knew nothing about ship
ping matte:.
l'erhaps we are not aa Ignorant as
they think. Iisl summer I stood on
the deck of the China of tbe PaelfM
Mall Una JUOt before she 1acked out
Into the bay nt San Francisco on her
last trip to the China Rcas under the
house Hag of the I'arjflc Mall Steam
ship Compuny. The. entire fleet was for
sain, and If not aohl then, commencing
with the China on her return, they were
to be laid up In ordinary.
It came to me suddenly that I wa
seeing tho end of my flag on the Fatlflc.
I could almost have cried, beeauie I have
loved to e my flag afloat. Then I
said to myself: I will do my part to
drive from pubUo life the creature who
are responsible for the disappearance
of Old Olory-
I have talked a I am writing clean
across th continent. When passing
through prosperous looking Wisconsin I
told the people there that they ought to
keep La Follette at home, for, 1 said, h
ha driven the Hag from the Pacific
And he has raised tiie price of Japanese
Shipping storis to its highest figures, nnd
a Japanese, writing about the Im. Fol
lette bill, used these words: "It Is In
conceivable to an Asiatic mind." It
ought to be Inconceivable to any mind.
Our seamen on the coast can now sit
on the bulkhead and twiddle their
thumbs.
How easily we are humbugged in
shipping matters! Some yeara ago 1
listened to a Scotchman on a Cunard
line steamer who waa holding up the
American people a a lot of fools be
cause our Congreaa hnd pawed a bill
tn subsidize the American Una between
New York and Creat Britain, When
my patience was at an end I retorted:
"It seems to me that you are not well
Informed In this matter of subsidies. If
you were well Informed vou would know
that tlie Cunard Une steamer In whose
smoking room we are now seated is at
this present time engaged in earning
a subsidy from the British Government
If you were well Informed you would
know that the Gormen Government
grants subeldles to a number, if not all,
of its ocean liners. If you were well
informed you would know that the
French Government gives a very large
subsidy to tha French Dine between New
York and Havre On the Paelflo the
Japan line running to San Francisco
I well cared for by tbe Japanese Gov
ernment, over a million being tlie sub
sidy. If well Informed vou would know
that the Rngllah line between Vancouver
and Japan and China receive n BUbald)
from Canada and England, How then
can WB have slops under the American
(lag unless wa subsidize them ' Would
you buy to,-k in an uniubsldlted line
that was going to run In competition
wdth the steamer we are crossing In?
You know you would not We Ameri
cans want steamers In tit. of peace,
but we need them much more In time
Of w ar "
There wa no more anti-subsidy talk
from Scotland on that trip.
Had we anpiie.! the t rhsidy remedy
to many lines It would have been far
better for us In this war. Our railroads
and dock WOUld Hot be Idled with n Is
waiting for ship- to take them to the
buyers who i 1 tiie articles so badly
No Government owned or run shins
will care for this industry as !t should
he cared for.
To our law makers nt Washington I
say, "Do not let Interested persons fool
VOU again. Put Old Glory back on lh
Padflc .and the other seas by subsidiz
