OLD IDEAS UNDER EXAMINATION
He Says Progressive Tide Threatens
to Sweep Away Constitutional
Barriers Some Reasons
for Unrest.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 27. -The
American Bar association today adopted
a resolution requiring that hereafter
when negro attorneys apply for member
ship their race must be made known In
the application.
Attorney General George F. Wicker
sham, in a heated debate, declared the
resolution recognized the status as mem
bers of William H. Lewis, assistant to
the attorney geneial, and two other negro
members who had been unseated by the
executive committee. The debate was ab
ruptly ended by the appeal of former
Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson
that further discussion would bring criti
cism of the association.
Scores of members protested against the
resolution, while others argued that while
it- would allow the present negro mem
bers to remain members It would pre.
elude the admission of more negroes be
cause their race would have to be made
known to the executive' committee.
Address of President Gregory.
S. G. Gregory of Chicago, president of
the association, in his annual address
said in part:
"It Is obvious that we live in a time of
much political and governmental activity.
No doubt the importance and gravity of
controversy is often exaggerated by those
who participate in it. In the perspective
of history political and popular conflict
loses somewhat of that sharp outline and
aspect of almost revolutionary violence
which it wears while the battle Is on.
Still, making all due allowances, when
we reflect that two amendments to our
national constitution are now apparently
ki if in ifi rin hi niHnn - w riMn wh nnnmnitr i un
radical changes in the organic law al
ready secured in several states and con
templated in others; when we remember
the marked Innovations la political meth
ods accomplished by the direct primary
extended this year for the first time to
the selection of presidential candidates,
it Is not necessary to look beyond the ex
tensive confines of our own land to es
tablish the proposition that we live In an
age of the political revolution.
Constitution Under Examination.
"Now we seem to have reached a time
when the very constitution and frame of
our government is under critical exami
nation. The necessity for those safe
guards in administration which have been
deemed essential to the security of rights
to life, to liberty and to property, 4s
called in question. The progressive tide,
stayed by constitution barriers, threatens
now to sweep them all away."

MILL OFFICIALS CHARGED
WITH STORING EXPLOSIVES
,
BOSTON, Aug. 27. An alleged con
spiracy on the part of Boston men who
are officers of mills in Lawrence to secret
dynamite during the general strike In the
latter city last winter is the subject of
an investigation begun by the Suffolk
county grand jury today. District At
torney Pelletier "had a number of mill
officials appear before that body. Some
time ago in Lawrence, John Breen, a
politician of that city, aas convicted of
storing the explosive and fined $500.
Among those summoned to give evi
dence before the grand Jury was Ernest
"W". Pltnj&n of Andover, a mill contractor,
who shot and killed himself today. Pit
man's suicide was ascribed to worry over
finances. ' ' -" --'
"When the dynamite was found secreted
in several places In Lawrence the leaders
of the Industrial Workers of the World
who were conducting the strike, declared
they were no responsible. They charged
that the dynamite was "planted" for the
purpose of leading the public to believe
that the unions were plotting to blow up
the mills. . ,

Kansas Republican
Leaders Working on
Electoral Problem
TOPEKA. Kan., Aug. SI. Whether
President Taft's name would go at the
head of the republican ticket on the ballot
for the November election was the prin

BOAST OF ECONOMY FAILS
Only Important Laws Passed Were
Initiated and Passed Through
by the Minority Against
Proteats.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Unorganlsed,
unprogresslve and inactive, were words
used today to describe the work of the
democratic house by the republican leader.
James R. Mann. In a statement review
ing the accomplishments ot the lower
clamber of the Bixty-second congress. Mr.
Mann characterises some ot the demo
cratic majority work as stingy and silly
and other of its acts as pure extrava
gance. "The boast about economy went by the
board," said the minority leader. "The .
main work in the house on the democratic
side has been a constant boasting of what
they were going to do at the next ses
sion. ,
"I said last December that this session
would last longer and do less than any
other regular session of recent years.
My forecast proved correct This session
of congress has enacted laws fewer in
number, and of less importance than any
session in recent years. The laws passed
are In the main, local In character. The
Panama canal bill Is the one of great
est importance and in the main, that
was about prepared by me In a prior
congress.
New Rules m Farce.
"The claimed reformation of the rules
has proven a farce. That the house has
been inefficient is shown by the fact
that over 200 senate bills which passed
the senate remain unacted on In the
house. , "
"It Is a constant boast that the demo
crats at this session passed a law provid-'
lng for publicity of campaign contrlbu-
tlons. Such Is not the fact They only
passed an amendment to the law which
had previously been passed by a repub
lican house, and the princapal part is one '

cratlc side. Somewhat similar Is the bill'
relating to the eight-hour labor law wnlch
is only an amendment of a preview law,
and only made a slight changd. In the
provisions of the original act.
"Practically all the laws of any Im
portance passed at this session were
either bills prepared lo a previous con .
gress and left over for lack of time to
consider or else they were bills prepared
by officials In President Taft's adminis
tration." Mr. Mann referred to the publlo health
laws, the homestead laws, the bin creat
ing a children's bureau and others as'
being within that classification.
Parcels Post BUI.
"The democrats were forced to agree
to a parcels post which only a short time
ago they Insisted they would not agreed
to," continues the statement "They are
entitled to no credit for It
"Outlslde of money expended for the
Panama canal, which cannot be consid
ered as ordinary expenses, the approprla.
tions for this session of congress exceed
those for the last republican session. Not
only Is this so, but the democrats have ap
propriated money In many places where
It was pure extravagance and where the
money was not needed and have refused
to make appropriations where they are
absolutely essential for the conduct of
good government."
FRENCH PAPER OBJECTS
TO FREE TOLLS BILL
PARIS, Aug. 27. "The only effect of
President Taft's message in which he at
tempts to Justify the Panama canal bill
Is to prove that the bill is a questionable
one," is the verdict of the Temps today.
The newspaper continues that Great
Britain In demanding arbitration at The
Hague certainly will havfc the moral sup
port of all the powers which stand to
gain by the treaty which It holds has
been violated. .
The Temps hopes Americans will take
advantage of the door left open for re
consideration of the matter by Congress
man Sims' proposed bill repealing the pro
vision of the Panama canal bill providing
for the freedom from tolls of American
ships engaged in the coastwise trade.
