Underwood Points Out
Dangers of Direct j
Democracy.
ADDRESS BEFORE
CATHOLIC CLUB
Declares That Masses of People
Arc Better Judges of Men
Than of Measures?Wickcr
sham Argues for Equality
of Opportunity for |
All Citizens.
Now York, December 1?.?Two ad?
dresses, on-- by Attorney-General
Wlckersham, who declared that the
true nationalism is equality of oppor?
tunity to every cltir.en, and the other
by Representative Oscar v.". Under?
wood, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House, on the
dnnxoiH of a direct democracy, were
heard by members of the Catholic Club
and their guests ut their dinner to?
night.
Mr. Underwood delivered an address
declaring his opposition to movements
toward a more direct form of rrovcrn
nient.
"If there arc evils In our govern?
ment as it exists to-day." he said, "It
la not In Its organic form. It Is due
to the failure of those in office to hon?
estly, fairly and Justly perform the
duties Imposed upon them,"
11c pointed to the failures of direct
democracies and drew the contrast
between them and the successes of a
reprcBcntntlve democracy, responsive
to the will of a majority, but checked
by the Constitution, from exercising
a brutal force which might destroy
the liberty and property rightB of tho
Individual.
The proposal to abandon In part this
scheme of the Revolutionary fathers,
with a tendency to place the power of
law-making In the hands of all the
people. would place constitutional
guatantccs of Individual liberty sub?
servient to the will of the majority
through political compulsion, he said.
Misjudge Sentiment.
Those who urge a change, he argued,
do not reflect that at times they may
misjudge real public Btntltnent, that
the reprceentatl vu who acts as tho
Instrument, of Ihe Government Is at
fault, and not the basic principle of
the governmeot Itself,.
"My experience as a legislator," he
continued, "leads mo to bollevp that the
Congress of the United States will til
tlmately rcBpond to the enlightened
and matured sentiment of the people."
lie pointed to Instances wherein It
had done so In railroad rate legisla?
tion, pure food laws, cumpalgn fund
publicity, national quarantine. Irriga?
tion of the arid WoBt and the building
of the Isthmian canal.
"The response may not bo rapid.'
ho said, "but It ts probably more per?
manent, and there is certainly not as
much danger of enacting hasty, 111
?. insldered or bad legislation.
"Cannot a committee of tho Con?
gress, composed of representative men,
initiate legislation, within the limita?
tions of the Constitution, guard against
excesses and abuses, protect tho rights
of the minority, voice the wishes of tho
majority, as well or better than the
partisan frlonds of a measure, who, in
order that they may accomplish one
result, are tempted to reach so far Hint
I hey leave a wnko of destruction ns to
c ollateral matters the measure touches?
"If there lire evils In our govern?
ment as It ? vitas to-doy It Is not In
Its organic, form. It Is due to tho
failure of thoso In office to honestly,
fairly and Justly perform the duties
Imposed upon them. The remedy Is
Plain and the way Is clear. The peo?
ple should drive from, the places of
power and responsibility the unfaith?
ful servant and elect thoso who will
be faithful and true to the trust im?
posed upon them.
Can Trust People.
"Tou tell me the pcoplo cannot elect
honest and faithful servants. I tell
you that the masses of the people are
far hotter Judges of men than they
nro of measures, and arc far more
likely to stlect an honest man than
an honest measure.
"When vou say lhat the voter can?
not solcct a public official who will
reflect the will of the people In his
office and bo faithful to the Consti?
tution of his country, I say you ro
fleot on the very first principle o: free
government and misjudge the honesty
und the Intelligence of the Amcrlcun
people. , ,,
"Let ue elect honost nun to public
office, men who have the courage to
etand for the true interest of the Consti?
tution they represent, regardless of
what effect it may have on their per?
sonal fortunrs. There thon will be
no demnnd for a change of tho funda?
mental principles of our government."
No Hpcclnl Privileges.
Atto'rncy-Gcneral Wtckcrshum's sub?
ject was "The Equality of Opportunity
for All and Special Privileges for
None."
The enforcement of the law against
unlawful restraint of trade and monop?
olies Is attended with much outcry
by those who have too Irin? enjoyed
unfair advantages over their compe?
titors, the end of Wlllch they now see,
declared Mr. Wlckershom. Uut be not
deceived by their clamor. Neither tile
law *ior tho enforcement of the Jaw
is directed against legitimate business
enterprise, but to what YVlllium Pajih
denominated 'the grout end of nil gov
eri...ient, viz.: to support und rover
enco tho people and to secure the
people from the abuses of power.'
"A few months ago a visitor to this
city, ilcslro is of seeing its most famous
highway would have beheld an ex?
traordinary spectacle," continued lh<
Attorney-General. ."All along the
groat Fifth Avenue, an nrmy of work?
men was- employed removing the
facades ot? some of the buildings,
sli'itrlng off columns and pilasters
f re m others, demolishing nncl recon?
structing.
"Inqtllry would have led to tho con?
clusion that during a considerable
period of years the owners of land
abutting on this highway had, grad?
ually encroached upon tho street, until
?finally the cltv authorities awakenod
to the fact that the highway, which
was the property of all. was being ap?
propriated for th'J bonclil of a few.
Thereupon legal proceedings wore coni
monoed, and the authorities compnllod
each and overy lot owner to tak-; down

ers who me charged with violation of
the criminal provisions of the Sher?
man antitrust law was completed to?
day, and the opening statement of
I.'nlled States District Attorney James
II. WHkeraon was hegun.
In outlining the case, Mr. Wllkorson.
in a speech replete with bitter invec?
tive, declared that the defendants,
through the National Packing Company,
had continued the old pooling practices
of the packers and had actually put
Into effect the most powerful engine
for the suppression of competition
ever devised in the Industrial world.
Judge Carpenter had scarcely ceased
directing the summoning of a new
panel for vonlromen when counsel for
the Indlrtod packers declared they were
satisfied with the twelve men In tho
box. The government attorneys also
were contont, and before tho noon ad?
journment the oath was administered
to tho Jury und the decks were cleared
for tho actual beginning of the legal
buttle, which Is looked upon as one
of the most momentous of the many
In which the Federal power has clashed
with the corporations.
When Mr. Wilkerson began his open?
ing address all the defendants were In
the courtroom, and each listened in?
tently as step by step the Intent of
tho. prosecution and tho facts upon
which It Is based were given.
Oolng Into great detail In his decla?
ration of various phases of the deeds
which he declared marked a conspir?
acy to violate the Jaw of the land.
Mr. Wilkerson laid spacinl emphasis
upon the following points:
Charges Agnlnst Packers.
That the. combination represented by
tho ten Chicago meat packers under
Indictment is the most powerful en?
gine or system for suppression of com?
petition and the fixing of prices ever
known in the history of the Industrlnl
world.
That the system is so Ingeniously do
vised and so closely guarded that the
men in the lower grades of employ?
ment aro made, to believe that the cor?
porations In th combination are actual
competitors.
That the indicted packers or their
prudecessors have dominated the meat
Industry of tho,country and fixed prices
since 1S8?.
That tho real purpose and deslro ot
tho National Packing Company, which
was organized by members of the com?
bination March IS. 1903. Is to continue
the work "accomplished by tho old
pool."
That the key to the system Is the
uniform method used by the members
In figuring the test cost of the pro?
duct.
That this test cost, arrived at by
adding the killing charge to the price
of cattle on tho hoof and deducting
allowances for hide and fat. Is In ex?
cess of the renl cost, and gives the
packers a larger margin of profit than
thielr own figures Indicate.
That the country was divided under
the' old pooling system Into different
divisions, and each member of tho pool
allotted a certain percentage of th s
business, and that a similar system Is
still In existence.
Thai a system of forfeits was paid
to members who failed to get their
percentage of the business dividends,
and these forfeits were In the nature
of fines on those members who ex?
ceeded their allotment.
That formerly the representatives of
the combination met every Tuesday in
the office of a Chicago lawyer and fixed
the prices of meat.
That since the organization of tho
National Packing Company the direc?
tors of that organization held meetings
at which the price of Ihe product is
fixed.
That a specially Hevlaed code of
trade terms was use,] at thes? meet?
ings, where prices wero made.
N'o Other Conclusion.
"The evidence which will be pre?
sented," said Mr. Wllk'araon, "will show
that no other conclusion can he reached
than that' Ihe National Packing Com?
pany wa's used for the purpose of con?
tinuing the operations of the old pool,
and for that alone."
Mr. Wllkorsoh ridiculed tho claim
which he anticipated fch'j dofeijse would
make that the National Packing Com?
pany was an outgrowth of ap. attempt
?to organize'a "benevolent'-monopoly."
. The district, attorney had not. con?
cluded when court, adjourned for-" the

' EXPRESSIONS OF HORROR

Under Which They Rented
Indianapolis. Ind., December 19.?
People who for weeks unknowingly
lived near enough dynamite t? blow
up the neighborhood, and whoso chil?
dren skated over the Hours of a va?
cant house In which the nitroglycerine
had been spilled, testified In the gov?
ernment's Investigation pf the dyna?
mite conspiracy before the Fedoral
grand jury.
Witnesses from Muncic, Ind.. were
questioned concerning what they knew
of the renting of a house in Muncic
to Ortle McManigai In December, 1909.
After paying rent for several months
in advance McManigai stored it with
boxes and sawdust, in which ho packed
nitroglycerine. The fact that the rent
I had been paid and the house, always
In darkness, was visited periodically
by a stranger created an clement of
mystery which still was unsolved
when the place. again deserted,
was thrown open aritl school children
skated ever the lloors upon which ap?
peared greased spots. loiter It was
found the spots were caused by nitro?
glycerine, and experts were called to
destroy their explosive power.
Among the witnesses from Muncle
were Mrs. Elizabeth illher, Isaac
Grant and a manufacturer who sold
boxes to McManigai.
Tho evidence was traced by the In?
vestigators not only to confirm Mc
Manlgnl's confession which Impli?
cates John J. and James if. McNamura,
but also to bring out who. If any, as?
sisted them.
Other expressions of horror at dis?
covering they had been living near
explosives came from members or the
family of D. Jones, a farmer, near In?
dianapolis. I"or u long time prior to
his arrest on April L'2. mil, J. J. lie
Namara, secretary-treasurer of tho In?
ternational Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, on the pre?
text that he was storing old records,
kept in Jones's barn a piano box filled
with dynamite, from which McManigai
replenished his supply when going on
dynamiting expeditions.
Dynamite In llox.
The piano box still bad twenty-live
pounds of dynamite In it when Jones,
digging nu his farm, was apprised of
the fact by detectives who visited the
place the day John J. was arrested.
It. was learned that these witnesses
willingly told of the' representations
under which they rented their places,
and what persons paid them money.
So far as the Iron Workers' Associ?
ation Is concerned no opposition here?
after will be made against the remov?
al of books and papers taken from
their headquarters from one Jurisdic?
tion to another. This was announced
to-day, when an attorney for the. Iron
Workers withdrew an appeal to lite
Indiana Supreme Court, from an or?
der of the County Court to turn the
records over to the federal authori?
ties. Although action on the motion
to dismiss the appeal will not be taken
until after January 2. It Is understood
the records, including books and cor?
respondence of John .1. McNnmarn, may
now bo carried, between any Federal
or county Jurisdictions without oppo?
sition.

Washington, December ID.?Tho Sen

maliy ratified President Taft's notill
cation to Russia of the termination ot
tho treaty of 1S3C. Senator t.odgc's
joint resolution, reported by the For?
eign Itclutlons Committee as a substi?
tute for tho Sulr.cr resolution that
passed the House :!0n to I, was adopted
after an all-day debate over Russian
discriminations against the Jews ot
America. The House to-morrow Is ex?
pected to agree to the Senate measure.
The resolution wus adopted at 7:09
P. M. It wits introduced for the com?
mittee by Mr. Lodge, of Massnchu
sells, as the measure couched In the
language most satisfactory to tho
Washington administration, Which,
sought to avoid giving offense ID the
St. Ifetersfourg government.
The tlnal action came after two
substitutes had been voted tlown. it
wus the climax of a notnble proceed?
ing In the chamber which guards
Jealously its traditional powers to
make und break treaties. All through
the symposium of views, to which
many Senators contributed throughout
the d.*,y. however, there wore citations
. of historical Instances uf treaty ter?
minations by legislative act. Tho
Senate was hold in session until a
lute hour on the urgent plea of Sen?
ator l.odgc that to secure action beforu
the Christmas holidays recess ou
Thursday It was necessary that thu
Senate t'ltoukl act to-night.
Divergence of Views).
Kvcry Senator who spoke vplood his
advocacy of congressional action tu
meet the RusstaTi illscrlmlpaticrhr They,
were unanimous for the termination,
of the treaty, but showed a wldu
divergence of views as to the man?
ner In which that end should bo ac?
complished.
The most conspicuous opposition to
the Senate resolution developed when
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, offered
us a substitute a resolution eliminating
the <|uestlon of race as a cause for
discrimination and omitting thu
charge that Russia had violated the
terms of tho treaty.
Tho Hitchcock .substitute, however,
i:; along tho lines of tho House resolu?
tion. Those who voted in the affirma?
tive on the Hitchcock substitute word
Senators ChUton, CuKierson, Hitchcock,
Johnson, Korn, Lea. Martine, Myers,
O'Cormnn, Hayner. Smith, of Mary?
land; Taylor, Watson and Williams,
Democrats, and Senators t.'lapp arid
Pointless tor. Republicans.
Senator Kcwinttds bfforcd a substi?
tute dovetailing the Hitchcock and
Lodge resolutions, but this was voted
tlown without division. Then came
the final vole on the Lodge resolution.
Tho roll was called, hut there was no
division. Seventy-two votes were cast,
and all of them were favorable to
the measure. It was therefore declared
adopted, and wus matted on Iis way
to the House.
With the Senate's notion tho Russian
situation has assumed a quieter phase '
so fur as the legislative branch of tho
government is concerned. The ofH.
clals are. looking forward to the re?
ceipt from Curtis Guild, the American
ambassador to St. Petersburg, nf tho
acceptance by the Russian government
of the notice given l?y President Tuft
of the desire of this government to
terminate the treaty of IS::?.
Anutvcr Ul.-oippolntlua.
Press dispatches front St. Peters?
burg Indicate that such an answer ha?
already been handed to Mr. Guild, uuel
tin: contents of the Russian note, as
outlined In the dispatches, are per?
haps somewhat disappointing in that
they convey no response to the direct
statement by Secretary Knix that
America stands ready to open negotia?
tions Immediately for a new treaty. ?.
Mr. Lodge, in the Senate, defended
ihe action of President Taft In abru
j-ntlnu the Russian treaty without con?
gressional notion, six treaties, hp
pointed out. had been terminated ib'y .
notice, the first by Polk In 1SI7, the
treaty ?vllh Great Britain. President
Pierce In ISfin terminated by notice a.
provision of a treaty with Denmark,
after the Senate ha?) irjvcn Its au?
thority In 1S55. President McKinley
terminated clauses In the Swiss treaty
of IS."..". without any congressional
action whatever, he declared.
"In four cases tho President took
the initiative," said Senator Lodge,
"and in two cases joint action was
asked. Tills shows the variety of pre?
cedents of action in tho termination
of treaty by notice."
Senator Lodge said tho termination
of a treaty by notice was In. no SonBp'
an abrogation or a denunciation, but
was In accord with the terms of treaty
Itself. He argued that where no leg?
islative action had been Invoked In
the operation of the treaty It was com?
petent for the President und the Sen?
ate to end a treaty without the co?
operation of the House.
Much attention wss given by Sir.
l.odgc to the contention that dolay
would render It Impossible to termi?
nate, the treaty for tho next two years.
"Russia had disregarded the tcrmr
of tho treaty," he isaid. "Article 1 has
been violated by Russia, while it has
been observed by tho United State?,
and I think ' It has been violated so
as to discriminate against a large ele>.
