Then the Mayor went on to bring out how this brought about and fostered Socialism.

He said: "It is no wonder that we bave a state of unrest, and that what Is called Socialism is growing. The Judges who are thus putting themselves lu the way of Just and humane laws, called for by the spirit of Christianity and social progress; say that It is I heir duty 'to protect the populace from Just think of that. When and where and how did we ever confer any such mission as that upon them? Who set them up to protect us from ourselves? We elect Legislatures to carry out our will by laws." The speaker dwelt upon the favoritism shown by railroads hi freight rates and suggested the establishing of a general freight agent by the (Joverutuent to each railroad. "Such agent," he said, "need not tlx rates, but his duty would bs to see that there was ouly cue rata for all In like casos that everyone paid the same rate." He attacked ths laws under which large corporations ore made- possible, terming the attempt of the Government to eradicate the evil by dissolving, through law suits, trusts or holding companies which they bad made possible by the enacting of laws, as "folly" aud "a game of oross purposes." In speaking of a remedy, he said: "The holding compnny statutes should never have beeu passed, and now that they are in existence they ought to be repealed by degrees or superseded by a national corporation law under which no such thing would bo permitted. "If these present conditions, with their tremendous monopolies, are allowed to continue," he said, "in the end everyone in the country will have ceased to be an independent business entity and will be a mere servant of one of these great concerns if they continue.

Does that tend to make men better citizens, or weak aud indifferent ones, by reason of a feeliug of dependence and servitude?" Tariff Reform to Be Campaign Issue, Says XJix. Governor Dlx declared it was singularly appropriate that the organization should emphasize the issue of tarltf reform on the anniversary of the birth of Thomas JetferBon. "Your history," be continued, "goes back to the days of that great Democratic reformer, Samuel J. Tllden, the neighbor and associate and disciple of Martin Van Buren, who perhaps more than any other statesman of his day was Influenced by personal intercourse with Jefferson and affected aud controlled by his philosophy of government." Tlie Governor then pointed out that Democratic governors of New York hud been leaders In tariff reform, calling attention to tire adherence also of Tilden, Cleveland and Hill to the principles of Jeffersou as Interpreted by Van Buren. "As we enter upon the presidential contest nf 1912," said Governor-Dlx, "it Is evident that the paramount issue is to be the reform of the tariff and the wise regulation of business on sane, business lines.

"In the coming campaign the underlying Ideas of the two great political parties will be definitely and revealed. It will be seeu and understood that Republicanism stands for a system of extreme protection that is destructive and demoralizing to every right and Interest of the American people, while Democracy stands unequivocally for a programme of tariff reform and reduction which is essential to the prosperity and happiness of the people aud to the growth and expansion of American commerce and industry. "To charge that tariff reform will bo detrimental to American wealth producers and wage earners, whether 'on the farm or In the factory, Is to talk cant and hypocrisy. Democratic leaders 'who have unfalteringly fought the heresy that a tariff tax levied not for revenue, hut to Increase prices and augment profits, ever was or ever MAYOR WILLIAM J. GAYNOR.

fect was not revision downward, hut the maintenance, if not the actual increase. of existing intolerable burdens upon the masses. "I speak as a manufacturer and business man. 1 declare with all the emphasis I can command that there Is no occasion whatsoever for manufacturers, for business men. for employers or employes, to entertain the slightest fear that they will bo disadvantageous affected by the coming Democratic revision of the tariff.

"On the contrary, the manufacturer, the man of business, the employer of labor and the wage-earner will profit greatly, through the relief of industry from, the shackles of an unjust and artificial system which denies American capital and labor Its appropriate access to the markets of the world, which produces periodical gluts, panics and prostrations of business, and In general is a hindrance and a disturbance to Industrial development Instead of being an aid to American enterprise and industry. "The relief which will come to the consuming masses from the elimination of monopoly and the reduction of the cost of living will be shared with all other citizens. The benefit which will come to our productive industries through partiefpation in the markets of the world will stimulate all lines of American endeavor, and will euable the American manufacturer to employ fewer men, to employ them more regularly and with fewer periods of suspension or i shutdown, and at a better average wage. "The rampant rule of tariff barons has resulted in discontent and In a serious loss of national self-respect. It has cre ated possibilities for the self-seekers and exploited.

It lias created anuses and crimes against the government, yielding both profit and disgrace to Its beneficiaries. It has opened the way to the mnsters of reckless rhetorio with their dogmatic appeals to greed and to passion and prejudlue. "I believe that the reform of the tariff along the lines of right and justice will be a staggering blow to monopoly, that it will foster econoinlo peace, and constitute the greatest contribution we can possibly make to the solution or existing economic problems, and the quelling of unrest and demagogic agitation. It will be a great day. a glad day for America when, by abolishing the abuses of special privilege, deprive the Irresponsible agitator of business by destroying his stock In trade." Would Have Acted on Facts as They Are, Says Wilson.

Governor, Wilson of New Jersey answered to the toast "What Jefferson would and In developing his topic he treated of the tariff, the currency and the control of the legislative committees by monopolistic interests. He said that tho country should move against monopoly, sometimes subtly, sometimes openly, and always to the end that the people at large should again control the leglsuatures of the country. Our Government has provided, he said, secret coverts and ambushes wherein the legislative committees hear, little of the opinions of the people, but feel the Influences- of the special He said in part: "The circumstancqs of our day are so utterly different from those of Jefferson's day that It may seem nothing less than an act of temerity to attempt to say what Jofferson would do If. he were now alive and guiding us with his vision and command. America has swung out of her one time isolation and has joined the family of natlouB.

She is more cosmopolitan-in her makeup than any other nation of the world. She is not the simple, homogeneous, rural nation that she was ta Jefferson's time, making only a beginning at development and the conquest of fortune; above all she is infinitely varied; her affairs are shot through with emotion and the passion that comes with strength and growth and self-confidence. We live in a new and strange age and reckon with new affairs alike in economics and politics of which Jefferson knew nothing. "And yet we may remind ourselves that Jefferson's mind did not move in a world of narrow circumstances; it did not con tlno Itself to the conditions of a slnglo race or a single continent. It had com- meree with the thought of men old iiiti lie itiiun in tnm.

"To determine what Jefferson would have done, therefore, requires only that we should ourselves clearly see the facts of our time as they are, whether In the Held of government, or In the field of our economic life and that we should 6ee how Jefferson's principle of the rule and authority of the people stands r.i- llated to those facts.

One of the local Roosevelt managers sent the following telegram to the New fork headquarters: "Hard rain thlis afternoon apparently not affecting tho vote. Reports from scattering precincts Indicate that our previous prediction of Roosevelt victory made good. Extensive hallenglng of Keystone voters Is keep ing out a considerable portion of the Roosevelt votes, otherwise we would make a clean sweep of Philadelphia." From other quarters the claim of unfair treatment of Keystone party voters was made, aud It was apparent that the Roosevelt leaders felt thnt the exclusion of Keystone votes from the ballot box had an unfavorable Influence upon tho chances of delegates pledged to their favorite.

The Keystone party Is a third party made up largelv of citizens of reform tendency who are opposed to the regular Republican organization. Us main strength is In Philadelphia where It has polled a heavy vote in the pa3t tew years. Regular Republicans claim that members of the Keystone party have no right to ask for a Republican ballot because they did not vote the Republican ticket at the last election. Instead, tney claim, they should ask for and vote the Keystone ballot. The Keystone party being only a Stale organization and having no national alliance, has no national delegates on Its ticket.

The Keystoners claimed they were entitled to a Republican ballot If they were willing to take oath that they voted for a majority of the Republicans on the Keystone fusion ticket at the last election.

After election the Republican party repudiated Its pledges and increased the tariff. Mr. Taft condemnod tho bill and denounced the wool schedule as indefensible, and It was hoped he would veto the measure. He disappointed these expectations. He signed it, and, notwithstanding his previous utterances, declared it was the best tariff bill ever enacted.

He later apologized for his approval, and in 1910 urged the elimination of its bad features. A bill accomplishing this reform was passed by a Democratic House Inst year, but he vetoed it with an inconsistency that had ceased to surprise the American people. "The tariff and the trusts are the only Issues upon which we have elected a President sinco 1856, and they make the Issue upon which the party will go forth to a glorious triumph in the contest now impending. The prospects of party success were never brighter, and, with unity and harmony in our ranks, and with a hrui adherence to the principles of Jefferson, we may look forward with confidence to the result of the campaign upon which we are about to enter." "A Careful and Prudent Progressive," Says Mayor Gaynor. Mayor Gaynor, after assailing what he termed "obstructive court decisions" and attacking at considerable length the laws which legalize the existence of trust or holding companies, advocated the holding of Federal constitutional conventions once in every twenty years to revise the constitution and" readapt it to the needs of the times, as is now provided for In the case of the state constitutions in several States of the Uuioo, amoug them New York State.

The Mayor's subject was, "What would Jefferson say?" and throughout his entire speech he worked in the policies of that statesman, using him as an ex ample of a prudent and careful progres sive auu an oracle to guide the course of the nation among the modern extremes of radical and conservative agitations. "It Is now very cumbersome and difficult to, amend the Federal Constitution," he said, referring to Jefferson's advocacy of the Federal constitutional convention. Should we not have it amended so as to call for constitutional conventions at stated periods? Would not Jefferson say yea?" Again referring to the same thing, he said: "What would Jefferson say to having the Constitution of the United State-: amended ao that every twenty years there would have to be a new constitutional convention to report amendments to the Constitution to be submitted to the vote of the people? one doubts that constitutions should not he changed in a hurry or rashly, but all the same, as time goes on, and conditions change, constitutions of government need to be changed. Lincoln said that a constitution should not outlast a generation. He did not mean that at the end of that time the whole instrument should go by the board.

He meant that It would probably need to be amended by that time. Our States have very generally recognized this by putting requirements in their constitutions that constitutional conventions be held at stated Intervals. Not a Dangerous Radical. In opening his address the Mayor paid A compliment to the memory of Jefferson, referring to him as one who picked his steps and did nothing headlong, but still was "conscious that the world moves." "He was a radical, if you will," said the Mayor. "But not the klkid of radical who wants to pull everything up by the roots or every pillar down before he has something better to plant or put in its stead.

He was a progressive, but felt his way, and blazed his way all the time that we might follow. There Is a provision In all of our constitutions, national and State, that no he deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or except by the-law of the land, as it is sometimes expressed. This safeguard is not new with us. It is expressed in Magna Charta. Nor Is it peculiar to English-speaking countries.

It Is common in. one form or another to every civilized government. No one ever thought of giving it anything but its plain meaning until in recent years, since 1870, in this country. Then some court attributed an indirect meaning to these words nf liberty and property. "The phrase to deprive one of his liberty had always been understood to mean to interfere with the liberty the person, to put one under physical restraint by some fofm of interference, arrest or imprisonment.

And to deprive one of his property had a similar plain meaning. No one in England or in any other place except here has ever thought of their having any other meaning. But since 1870 In this country courts have been Interpreting these words of Constitution In their widest And constitutional exegesis, has developed so rapidly that necessary social and economic progress is being blocked by court decisions. What would Jefferson say to It? We know what he would say. He opposed all forced constitutional Interpretations by the courts while ho was living, and said that if allowed to run their course the Constitution and our form of government would be sapped ami mined by the courts In their natural tendency to aggrandize themselves with power over the legislative and executive branches of government.

Straining the Meaning of "Liberty." As examples of the extremis to which court decisions have gone in th'' use of the constructions placed upon these words "liberty" and "property." the Mayor called to mind the tenement bouse tobacco case, the underground bnkp ovens case -and the women's night work case. The law resilricting the manufacture of tobacco products in tenement houses, he said, was declared unconstitutional be- i cause It deprived tho tenant of his "lib-eray" to work at what he liked In his tenement. Tho law in regard to underground bake ovens, he said, was likewise treated because, in tho Mayor's own words, "It deprived Journeymen bakers of tho liberty of working all night, it they chose, in hot underground bake ovens." The law prohibiting women from being employed in factories between 9 o'clock at night and o'clock in the morning, he said, was nullified on the same gronnd3. The employer's liability act, he said, was declared void because the Court of Appeals ruled Ihat it deprived the employer of his property without due proc-ess of law. "Thirty-two different governments in the world, including England, have such a law," he said, "and nowhere in the world except hero did anyone suggest that such a law takes the employer's properly without due process of Continuing, lie said, referring to the liability act: "And yet this statute, which did away with the scuil-barbarous rules 1912 BABY AND GIRL FOUND AT LAST Continued From Page 1.

about from place to place like a spirit, seen repeatedly by citizens who did not realize whom they had seen until hours afterward, ever evading the keen eyes of the score or more of detctlves who were trailing her, and always appearing at places within a radius of ten blocks from the Brownsville police station la Liberty avenue. The first -intimation that the Brownsville police had of her presence in thel immediate neighborhood was when a tele phone call was received from the St. Mary's Hospital. The excited attendant there said thta a woman and baby an swering the description given of Annie uoyorskl in the morning oaDars had been at the dispensary the night before.

A dozen detectives, under command of Captain Joseph Thompson, were sent out to soour the Brownsville district, but there were no results.

The next duo came an hour later when a man rushed wildly Into the Brownsville station and said that earlier In morning, about clock, he had seen a woman answer Ing the description given, in Liberty avenue, not more than 300 yards from the police station. A new clue was given the detectives and they went out with a fresch scent. Asked for Treatment at Home of Brooklyn Physician. Then they learned that she had appeared at the residence of Dr. Smith, of St.

Mark'B and East New York avenue. She asked for treatment there, but mysteriously disappeared at the first opportunity. An hour 'ater Captain Frank was In formed that she had been seen In a candy store at the corner of Liberty avenue and Osborne etreet. Ever on the scent of what seemed a shadow. Captain Frank; hurried around to the candy store.

Yes; she had been thero. The description given by the Hebrew woman who kept the store left no trace of doubt. She had stayed there half an hour, begged some milk for the baby and fed it. The woman who kept the store said she had mnrmed the milk for the child and the mother bad soaked a hard roll In itand fed that nlso to thp baby, who seemed contented, but huugry. The woman and the baby hal left only a half hour before the police arrived, but the trail was lost for another hour.

About 10 o'clock a woman rushed up to Captain Frank, who was roving around the district vainly seeking a clew, nnd told him that her baby carriage had disappeared from a hallway In Osborne street, a few doors away from the candy store. It. was found a few minutes later a block away. A woman had been seen trundling a baby along In It. But woman and baby were gone, and the trail was again lost.

Then came word that a woman with a baby, answering the same description, had stopped at a lodging house in Osborne street, three blocks from the candy store. At the lodging house she had begged money. She told them that she wanted to get to Jersey City, where her mother was. The detectives hurried to the lodging house, but fate seemed against them. They were too late.

The woni3n and babe had just left. Trail of Woman Vanishes. The trail seemed to vanish utterly after this. No more reports came to the police that seemed worth noticing. They did learn that two street car conductors had seen her late Friday night, probably after she had been to the hospital, but they could furnish no further information.

Tho detectives were thoroughly at sea. They learned that she was passionately fond of moving pictures and last night It had been planned to have detectives in every moving picture house In both the Biownsvillo and East New York sections. The last clue that the Brownsville police recetved concerning her whereabouts was early last evening, when Jacob Cob-linsky, a resident of Brownsville, came Into the Brownsville station and stated that he bad seen a woman answering the same description, get on a Manhattan bound subway train at Flatbush avenue at 11:30 o'cloek yesterday morning. He said that he got off the train at Wall street and that the woman was still In the train holding the baby nnd swinging from a slrap. Her peculiar appearance attracted his attention, but he did not connect her with the story of the missing baby, until he read the descriptions In the evening newspapers.

He would have found, moreover, that until very recent years opinion had had very difficult access, If any at all, In' most seasons, of the private conferences in which ctndldates for office were chosen, candidates for both administra tive and. legislative office and that in the private conferences where It was determined who should be nominated and, therefore, of course, who should be elected, the same influences had estab lished themselves which ruled In the legislative lobby.

That money, the monjy that kept the whole organization to gether, flowed In, not from the general body of the people but from those woo wished to determine In their own private interest what Governors and legislators' should and should not do. To Destroy the Processes of Monopoly "It Is plain. In such circumstances, what he would have Insisted, as we are insisting now, that if there could be found no means by which the authority and purpose of the people could break Into their private places and establish their rule again. If the jungle proved too thick for the common thought to explore, If the coverts where the real power lurked were too difficult to find, the forces of genulue democracy must move around them Instead of through them, must surround and beleaguer them, must establish a force outside of them by which they can be dominated or overawed. It is with the discussion of Just such affairs that the public mind Is now preoccupied and engrossed.

Debate Is busy with them from one end of the land to the other. "As regards the economic policy of the country it Is perfectly plalu that Mr. Jeffersou would have Insisted upon a tariff fitted to actual conditions, by which he would have meant not the Interests of the few men who And access to the hearings of the Ways and Means Committee of tho House aud the Finance Committee of the Senate; but the interests of the business men and manufacturers and farmers and workers and professional men of every kind and class. He would have insisted that the schedules shonW be turned wrong side out and every Item of their contents subjected to the general scrutiny of all concerned. It Is plain, also that he would have Insisted upon a currency system elastic indeed and suited to the varying circumstances of the money market In a great Industrial and trading nation, but absolutely fortified and secured against a.

central control, the influence of coteries and leagues of banks to which It is now in constant danger of being subjected. He would have known that the currency question Is not only an economic question but a political question, and that, above all things else, control must be In the hands of those who represent the general Interest and not in the hands of those who represent the things we are seeking to guard asalnst.

He will be no stronger than his party.

His strength will lie In the counsel of his comrades. His success will spring om of the union and energy and unselfish co-operation of his party, and his party must be more than half the nation. It must include, and genuinely include, men of every class and race and disposition.

FRANCE ALWAYS FOR PEACE, Cannes, France, April 13 France's attitude in regard to future world politics was outlined today by Premier Palmare in the course of an eloquent tribute which he paid at the dedication of the statue of the late lKng Edward, unveiled here today. The French Premier lauded King Edward as tho artisan of the triple understanding between Great Britain, France i and Russia, saying that he wa3 a laborer for the world peace and civilization and for the progress of humanity. Speaking as to the future. M.

Poimare declared that France would steadfastly adhere to the policy of poaee which King Edward had laid down in the understanding between the three countries. He continued "France will neither attack nor provoke, but in order to be convinced that she herself will he neither attacked nor provoked, shn must have land and sea forces capabl" of commanding re.spei't for hr honor and insuring the defense of her Interests. It is by our own resources of men and money and by our naval and military power that we will primarily safeguard our rights nnd dignity. This sense of security, ho concluded, would be forfeited by the sympathy and I support of France's friends and allies. wA A A if fewif rv i i i can be beneficial to the people who must pay the tax.
