Judge Taft ' said that until a decision was made, evervonc was at liberty to criticise. Considering- that all of America's em-broplios em-broplios are still pending. Judge Taft, , then, maintained that he had the right! to criticise. ! "From what the distinguished ex-sena- ; tor from Texas has said." declared Mr. Taft. '"the Democratic party is disintegrating. disinte-grating. But we won't so into that. I have had experience with the disintegration disinte-gration of parlies " H"-e the former president was interrupted inter-rupted bv the laughter of those who had ; followed the presidential campaign an election of 19V2. j am witli the senator from Illinois in standing bv the head of an administration admin-istration in a "crisis.

But until an opinion opin-ion is given on public matters I take it my right to speak. I claimed the right to recoqnize Huerta, but it is not for me now to hasten to dictate what should be done about him. Ye are facing a crisis. 1 do not agree with the illustrious 1 gentleman from Texas (Mr. Bailey) that all our froi'ble will come rrom within. It may come from without." Again Mr. Taft was Interrupted by cheers. ' Mr. Taft concluded hie address with an ; eloouent tribute -to Utah. He garnished it with humor, referring Indirectly to the ! fact that this state, except Vermont, was the only one which he carried in the election of 1912. Mr. Taft, by the way, was the recipient re-cipient of a rising toast from the bar association, of, which he is a past president. presi-dent. - ' Senator Bailey's address, which predicted pre-dicted that Democracy's blows would come from within the party, was strongly resented by Sehator Lewis, of whose celebrated cele-brated pink whisker and sartorial bids for favor Toast master Estabrook had : much to say, came Just before Senator Lew is's. Senator Lewis, in a cloudburst of wit, insisted that the toastmaster was feebleminded feeble-minded and that the women who flocked to the gallery came to see men with hair -! on their faces.

'tiding the I consideration h'y the only court we have for its determination th.e president presi-dent of the I' nl ted Siat es and h is aides; but thai, wlseri rids tribunal lias determined the meaning of the law and decreed the course of Hie nation, na-tion, such should be accepted as the wiii of the people. Then the obe.iippce to this judgment, judg-ment, and the acquiescence in the decree, should be thai accorded the court and, until reversed by some superior power, should have the unanimous concurrence of our countrymen coun-trymen and the universal support of every patriotic citUen. Without such the license of revolt and the privilege of insurrection on the part of any dis-satisfiivl dis-satisfiivl appears authorized, and the possible result to the nation is that of a distracted country and a divided patriotism. Penalty for Treachery. Heretofore, previous to the present hour, America has had few occasions to bring forth the evidence of injury U our nation by the absence of that . law of patriotism that should attend the disputes upon principles and the conflict of ideas of our nation with those nations abroad. In actual war the penalty for treachery sufficiently restrains the activities of cowards or traitors, but in time of peace, with no conflict officially declared, the constitutional right of free speech and free press serves as privilege for those who would embarrass our officials by accusation ac-cusation and denunciation over every ev-ery Judgment rendered and every international in-ternational course determined. This attitude presented to the foreign for-eign opponent encourages it in the belief be-lief that no support is given those in authority by the people tor whom' these authorities speak. By these convictions we inspire the antagonist antagon-ist with the hope that In combatting any decision or course of our officials offi-cials they will receive the co-operation of an influential portion of our own countrymen. This condition experienced has led to serious consequences conse-quences visited upon each of our executive ex-ecutive heads in every undertaking which has lately befallen them, where the duty was to announce the execution execu-tion of any policy of international law. Effect of Spanish War. We may have recalled how the benign be-nign and ChrisUan McKlnley was excoriated and berated by a part of our own public upon his declaration of neutrality between Spain and Cuba, Cu-ba, and how: his even.- effort to maintain the law and enforce Justice to America was attacked by a portion por-tion of public opinion. This assault was in nowdse resisted by the bar as teachers of the law. This revolt grew to such storm that it swept the nation into a war that to this day is a darkened problem in Us results re-sults to the American future. When President Roosevelt sought to maintain our just course of non-interference in the conflict between Japan Ja-pan and Russia and urged the enforcement en-forcement of our rights to enjoy full commerce as to all proper subjects, so inconsiderate was certain expressed opinion in our own country against the president that in five large cities open gatherings passed resolutions of condemnation against him. to the encouragement en-couragement of the official representative represent-ative of one of these nations to publicly pub-licly condemn us. anil produetH the subsequent aroused hatred of this nation na-tion by a foreign country, hII based on what it was educaiPd by our own people to believe was the antagonism of the A merican people on the issue against their American president. When President Taft. tn the enforcement en-forcement of his sense of the true meaning nf the International law of the recognition of foreign rulers, refused re-fused to accept as entitled to respect of authority, a ruler of Mexico who came to his place of power as Macbeth, Mac-beth, with hands dripping red with the blood of his murdered predecessor, there were those In thl.t land inspired by false propaganda who condemned the action of our chir-f executive. Tn Mexico those who wore inspired by this course from our country continued contin-ued their slaughter and Lncen Jiarigm. All this in defiance of the decree of the only authority we should have obeyed una nimousl y In such an hou r. Hrs tonight wp certify that it was then as It is now. to the Christian glory of President Taft that he would not build power upon a throne of murder. License Assumed. Now it is In the wake of the?e . vioia : i'-'iis by our own cou ntry men that the license is assumed by certain cer-tain of our citizen In America to denounce by resolution and puldished protests the decisions of F'resident Wilson in his effort to maintain thp Intprnatlonal law of nputrallfy. and to uphoi I American commerce in ita just pro-rrpss. such open defiance to authority and insult to thp chip" evpeutive of the land have hp.-ri offered on the part of t hose e!a 1 m Ipl' to be rlt'zms of t lie count r y.

" There way si'.lvo of appaulse. Tn his address former Senator Bailey of Texas prefixed a tribute to the lawyers, law-yers, characterizing them as the most "intellectual representatives of the greatest great-est government in the world." "I have something serious that I want to say to the- bar," continued Mr. Bailey. "In all the history of the United States there has been no greater responsibility than now confronts the lawyers of America. The forces of discontent never rest. Tf. requires tlie best men ail the time to set the public 'right. It is not ; mereiy criticisms of our parly, the Democratic Dem-ocratic party. If we can't answer them, let's quit. But there is abroad In the I'niied Stated a spirit of restlessness. But that spirit is levelling Its powers upon the destruction of government. It is digging into the foundation of government. govern-ment. It will be to the glory of lawyers to defeat these assaults. Danger From Within. "Now r have no fear of foreign foes. The danger is not from without, but from within. The wurld wdthout could never conquer the United States (applause), but there is danger from wdthin." i Former Senator Bailey concluded wih a tribute to the national loyalty and gen- j eral citizenship of the slate nf Utah, and , to the patriotism of the United States in j general. Former Senator Bailey also said; I am proud to call myself the chief of the reactionaries, because if reactionary re-actionary means the man who believes be-lieves in the constitution of the United States. I am that man. I am not one to decry the wisdom of the living, but I deny that Roosevelt or l,a Follette can "build a better government gov-ernment that Hamilton, Jefferson and Monroe. ' We mav see a reorganization of parties, and I will enlist in whatever partv Is for the constitution and orderly or-derly government. I hear people say that lids means 1 am going to Join the Republican party. Where is the Republican party? It was all right before 1912. but now look at it. I Invite everybody to the Democratic party but we must have a cleanup first. Senator Bailey then, paid a tribute to the citizens of Utah. saying he was chairman of the .special committee which recommended to congress the admittance of Utah as a state. He was applauded. Talks on Suffrage. On the suffrage q.-estion, Mr. Bailey concluded; I would never let fair woman soli her hands with the bullot. Her hands are for a nobler purpose. The women must keep our homes. Following Mr. Bailey. Toastmaster F.s-tabrook F.s-tabrook entered upon his duel with Senator Sen-ator Lewis. The Illinois senator he described de-scribed as a bird bf plumage. The senator's sena-tor's ret or is depict erf Mr. Fstahrook as a Jealous advertiser, an unrequited bidder bid-der for feminine attention and a genera! disappointment In a general passage at oratorical arms which Just preceded Senator Sen-ator Lewis's talk, already given. Secretary George Whitelock. In his con- ; eluding remarks before the convention, said he voiced the opinion of all the delegates in saying that Salt I-ake City , had heen the most engaging and un- ; selfish convention city in the history of the association and that the Salt Lflke , new spacers had reported tile doings of the association better than any journals heretofore. Todav Utah will recretfully say good-by good-by to the lawyers. The banquet offlcial-Iv offlcial-Iv concluded their meetings. |
