WOODROW WILSON TELLS HIS CREED As Member of the Democracy—What He is in Favor of and Against IS THE FOR RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, Urges the Democratic Party to State its Creed and Define Clear ly the Especial Forms ol Privi lege.

It is not Indianapolis,Ind.,—Urging the threshed out in open debate upon nmnr»rafir»navf\r fn afafo ike nrpprl flnnra mir gaaomKIt'nr* T4- Democraticparty to state its creed in the concrete and define clearly the especial forms of “privilege” it declares against in a gene ral campaign ‘ ‘for the rights of of the people, ” Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in an ad dress to the National League of of Democratic Clubs set forth the objects of the party as he sees them. Gov. Wilson said in part: “Democracy is not a me^e theory of government. It is an energy of life dwelling in the rank and file, interpreted once and again by great leaders, but not confined to their private cult and understanding. Its blood is the blood of the people. Its pur poses are the purposes shared by all mankind. Its hopes are the hopes of all rational civilization. “This is the day upon which we utter our creed and renew our views. It behooves us to ask ourselves what our creed is, and to answer the question without subtlety or sophistication, in the plain terms of everyday life. We must state our creed in the con crete, not in the abstract. Our thoughts run back, of course, to the great Declaration of Inde pendence which Jefferson gave us, but we cannnot stop with that. The Delaration of Inde pendence did not mention the questions of our day. mere starting point thoughts. “We say that we are against privilege as We now fight it we mean controll of the law, of leg islation and of adjudication, by organizations which do not repre sent the people, by means which are private and selfish and worthy of all condemnation. We mean specifically the conduct of our affairs and the shaping of our legislation in the interest of special bodies of capital and those who organize their use. We mean the alliance for this pur pose of political machines with the captains of organized indus try. We mean the exploitation of the people by legal and politi cal means. We have seen our governments under these in fluences cease to be representa tive of the special interests, con trolled by machines, which in their turn are not controlled by the people. Open Committee Room “We are not attacking men we are attacking a system. The men are most of them, honest. The great majority believe that in serving their own they are serv ing the interests of the country at large. “They are serving, served and the floors of our assemblies. It is on the contrary framed, diges ted and concluded in the commit tee rooms. It is in committee rooms that legislation not de sired by the interest dies. It is in committee rooms that legisla tion desired by the interest is framed and brought forth. There is not enough debate in the open house; in moat cases to discover the real meaning of the proposals made. Clauses lie quietly undis covered in our ‘statutes which contain the whole gist and pur pose of the act [qualifying phrases which escape the public atten tion and casual definitions which do not attract attention classifi cations so technical as not to be generally understood and which everyone rr.03t intimately con cerned is careful not to explain or expound, contain the whole pur pose of the law. Only after it has been enacted and has come to adjudication in the courts is its scheme as a whole divulged. The beneficiaries are then safe behind their bulwarks. Outrageous Tariff Law. ‘ ‘Of course the chief triump of committee work, of covert phrase and unexplained classification is the tariff law. Ever syice the passage of the outrageous Payne- Aldrich tariff law our people have been discovering the concealed It is a meanings and purposes which lay for our hidden in it. They are discover ing i;em by item how deeply and deliberately they were deceived and cheoted.' This did not hap pen by accident; it came about by design by elaborated, secret de sign. Questions put upon the floor in the House and Senate were not frankly or truely answered and an elaborated piece of legislation was foisted on the country which Cairo High School Wins From Whigham. The Cairo High School boys won their first game of the season last Friday afternoon from Whigham. Guy Lang, for the school boys, pitched a fine game and not a run was scored until the ninth, and not whole country. “Hence our objects as a party. I take these objects to be to open all the processes of politics, to open them wide to p lblic view, to make them accessible to every force that moves, every opinion its own economic life again, not *- * — *•*•* by revoultionary measures, but pose of Slivering packages not 1 — ■ ’ •• • - - to exceed twenty-five pounds in weight upon rural and star routes at the rate of two cents a pound our resources, against the selfish ness of private use and profit; to and to throw open the gates opportunity to mankind.” pitcher the boys .would have put the whitewash on those Whigham boys, but Guy says he hated to shut them out without u run so he let two men come in. All the school hoys played first class hall and batted the Whigham pitchers out of the box. Knox Barrow, the “kid catcher,” caught a sporty game behing the bat and cut a couple of men off at second in fine style. The Whigham boys got a lot of kidding played thO.'outtiUd jaiul -a. great trio arc the. three. Bussey, Malloy, Towson and Cooper played the ip- field and they are somo infielders too, A nice little crowd attended the game and'it did. the boys good to see that so much interest'' was taken in their team and it will spur them to better efforts in the future if the fans will only keep up their attendance.
