GERMANIC LIBERAL
PARTY IS POSSIBLE
Gerard Finds Many Men of
Broad Views Who Are
Opposed to Monarchy?
TRANSITION MAY BE EASY
Ministry Responsible to Reichstag
Instead of to Emperor, and Elec
toral Reforms Would Democ
ratize German Empire.
BT JAMES W. GERARD.
American Ambassador to the German Im
perial Court. July 28. JW13. to February
4. 11117. Copyright, 1317, by the Public
Ledger Company.
I hare already expressed a belief
that Germany will not be forced to
make peace because of a revolution
and that sufficient food will be some
how found to carry on the population
during; at least another year of war.
What then offers a. prospect of
reasonable peace supposing", of course,
that the Germans fail in the submarine
blockade of England and that the
crumbling up of Russia does not release
from the east frontier soldiers enough
tv break the lines of the British and
1'rench in i'rance?
Involution Gives Promise.
I think that It is only by an evolu
tion of Germany herself toward liberal
ism that the world will be given such
guarantees of future peace as will
Justify the termination of this war.
There is. properly speaking, no great
Liberal party in the political arena in
tiennany. As I have said, the Reich
stair is divided roughly into Conserva
tives, Roman Catholics or Centrum and
Social Democrats. . The so-called Na
tional Liberal party has in this war
shown Itself a branch of the Conserva
tive party and on some Issues as bitter,
as conservative as the Junkers them
selves. Herr Bassermann and Herr
Stresemann have not shown themselves
leaders of liberal thought, nor has their
leadership been such as to inspire
confidence in their political sagacity.
Leader Is Poor Prophet.
It was Stresemann who on May SO,
1916. said in the Reichstag, referring
to President "Wilson as a peacemaker,
We thrust the hand of Wilson aside."
On the day following the day on which
the President announced to Congress
the breaking of diplomatic relations
nws of that break had not yet arrived
in Berlin; Herr Stresemann on that
peaceful Sunday morniifg was engaged
in making a speech, to the members of
the National Liberal party in which he
told them that as a result of his care
ful study of the American situation,
of his careful researches into American
character and politics, he could assure
them that America would never break
with Germany.
As he concluded his speech and sat
down, amid the applause of his admir
ers, a German who had been sitting
in the back of the room rose and read
from the noon paper, the "B. Z.," a
dispatch from Holland giving the news
that America had broken relations with
Germany. The political skill and fore
sight of Herr Stresemann may be
judged from the above incident.
Socialists Oppose Monarchy.
The Socialists, or Social Democrats,
more properly speaking, have shown
themselves in opposition to the .mon
archical form of government in Ger
many. This has put them politically,
militarily and socially beyond the pale.
After a successful French attack in
the Champagne 1 heard it said of a
German woman, whose husband was
thought to be killed, that her rage
and despair had been-so great that she
had said she would become a Social
Uemocrat and her expression was
repeated as showing to what lengths
grief had driven her. This girl was
the wife of an ordinary clerk working-
in Berlin.
The Social Democrats are not given
offices, are not given titles: they never
join the class of "Rats," and they can
not hope to become officers of the
army. Did not Lieutenant Forstner,
the notorious center of the Zabern af
fair, promise a reward to the first one
of his men who in case of trouble
should shoot ono "of those damned So
cial Democrats"?
There is. therefore, no refuge at
present politically for the reasonable
men of liberal Inclinations, and it is
these liberal men who must themselves
create a liberal party, a party mem
bership In which will not entail a loss
of business, a loss of prospect of pro
motion and social degradation.
Liberal Party Possible.
There are many such men in Ger
many today. Perhaps some of the con
servative Socialists will Join such a
party, and there are men in the Gov
ernment itself whose habits of mind
and thought are not incompatible with
membership in a liberal organization.
The ex-Chancellor himself is. perhaps,
at heart a Liberal. He comes of a
banking family in Frankfort, and while
there stands before his name the "Von,"
which means nobility, and while he
owns a country estate, the whole turn
of his thought is toward a philosophi
cal liberalism.
Zimmermann, the former Foreign
Secretary, although the mental excite
ment caused by his elevation to the
Foreign Office at a time of stress made
him go over to the advocates of ruth
less submarine war, lock, stock and
barrel', is nevertheless at heart a Lib
oral end violently opposed to a system

Dr. Solf. the Imperial Colonial Min
ister, while devoted to the Emperor
and his family, is a man so reasonable
in his views, so indulgent of the views
ot others, and Indulgent without weak
,i s. that he would make an ideal
leader of - a liberalized Germany. The
great bankers, merchants and manu
facturers, although they appreciate the
luscious dividends that they have re
ceived during the peaceful years since
1870, nevertheless feel under their skins
the ignominy of living in a country
where a class exists by birth, a class
not even tactful enough to conceal its
ancient contempt for all those who soil
their hands by business or trade.
Tn fact, such a party is a necessity
Germany as a buffer against the
extreme Social Democrats.
At the close of the war the soldiers
who have fought in the mud of the
trenches for three years will most in
sistently demand a redistricting of the
Reichstag and an abolition of the in
adequate circle voting of Prussia. And
when manhood suffrage comes in Prus
sia, and when the industrial population
of Germany gets that representation
in the Reichstag out of which they
have been brazenly cheated for so
many years, it may well be that a great
Liberal party will be the only defense
of private property against the assault
of an enraged and justly revengeful
Social Democracy.
Peace 'ov Preoutsre.
The worktngmen of Germany have
been fooled for a long time. They con
stitute that class of which President
Lincoln spoke, "You can fool some of
the people all of the time," and the
middle class of manufacturers, mer
chants and so on have acquiesced In
the system because of the profits that
they have made.
The difficulty of making peace with
Germany as at present constituted is
that the whole world feels that peace
made with its present government
would not be lasting; that such a peace
would mean the detachment of some
of the allies from the present world al
liance against Germany, preparation by
Germany, In the light of her needs as
disclosed by this war, and the declara
tion of a new war In which there would
be no battle of the llarne to turn back
the tide of -German world conquest.
For a long time before, this war
radicals in England pinned great faith
to the Socialist party of Germany.
How little that faith was justified ap
peared in July and August of 1914,
when the Socialist party tamely voted
credits for the war, a war declared
by the Emperor on the mere state
ment that it was a defensive war, de
clared because it was alleged that cer
tain invasions of German- territory,
never since substantiated, had taken
place.
Socialist Party Is Divided.
The Socialist party is divided. It is
a great pity that the world cannot deal
with men of the type of Schiedemann.
who in other democracies would appear
so conservative as to be almost reac
tionary. But Schiedemann and his
friends, while they have. In their at
tempted negotiations with the Social
ists of other countries, the present
protection of the imperial government,
will have no hand in dictating terms of
peace so long as that government is in
existence. They are being used in an
effort to divide the allies. As Presi
dent Wilson said in his message to
Russia of May 26, 1917:
"The war has begun to go against
Germany, and in their desperate desire
to escape the inevitable ultimate defeat
those who are in authority in Ger
many are using every possible instru
mentality, are making us even of the
influence of the groups and parties
among their own subjects to whom
they have never been just or fair, or
even tolerant, to promote a propa
ganda on both sides of the sea which
will preserve for them their influence
at home and their power abroad, to the
undoing of the very men they are
using."
Socialists Not a Great Liberal Party.
There Is an Impression abroad that
the Social Democratic party of Ger
many, usually known abroad as the So
cialist party, partakes of at least some
of the characteristics of a great Lib
eral party. This is far from being the
case. By their acts, if not by their
express declarations, they have shown
themselves as opposed to the monar
chical form of government, and their
leaders are charged with having de
clared themselves- openly in favor of
free love and against religion.
The Roman Catholic Church recog
nizes in social democracy its greatest
enemy and' has made great efforts to
counteract the advance of social de
mocracy by fostering a sort of Roman
Catholic trades union for a religious
body of Socialists.
The Social Democrat In Germany Is
almost an outcast. Although one-third
of the members of the Reichstag be
long to this party, its members are
never called to hold office in the gov
ernment, and the attitude of the whole
of the governing class of all the pro
fessors, schoolteachers, priests of both
Protestant and Roman Catfiollc reli
gions of the prosperous middle classes
is that of violent opposition to the
doctrines of Social Democracy. The
world must entertain no illusion that
the Social Democratic leaders speak
for Germany.
Rule Is Prom Above Down-ward.
If the industrial population had their
fair share of representation in the
Reichstag they might perhaps even
control that body. But. as I have time
and again reiterated, the Reichstag has
only the power of public opinion, and
the Germany of today is ruled by offi
cials appointed from above downward.
All of these officials In Germany must
be added to the other classes that I
have mentioned. There are more offi
cials there than in any other country
in the world. As they owe their very
existence to the government, they must
not only serve that government, but
make tho enemies of that government
their own. Therefore, they and the cir
cle of their connections are opponents
of the Social Democrats.
All this shows how difficult It is at
present for the men of reasonable and
liberal views, who do not wish to de
clare themselves against both religion
and morality, to find a political refuge.
How Liberal Party May Be Foand.
Ex-Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl-weg,
himself a Liberal at heart, as I
have said, declared that there must be
changes in Germany. It is perhaps
within the bounds of probability that
a great new Liberal party will be
formed, to which I havs referred, com
posed of the more conservative Social
Democrats, of the remains of the Na
tional Liberal and Progressive parties
and of the more liberal of the Con.
servatlves. The Important question
then, is whether the Roman Catholic
of Centrum will voluntarily dissolve
and its members cease to seek election
merely as representatives of the Roman
Catholic Church.
For some years a movement has been
going on in the Centrum party look
lng to this end. Many members be
lleved that the time had come when it
was no longer necessary that the Ro
man Catholics of Germany should cast
their votes merely as Roman Catholics
in order to safeguard their religious
liberties, and attempts were made to
bring about this change. It was de
cided, however, by the Roman Catholics
to continue the political existence of
the Centrum. But the question Is not
dead. Voluntary dissolution of the
Centrum as a Roman Catholic party
would immediately bring about the
creation of a true Liberal party to
which all Germans could belong with
out a loss of social prestige, without
becoming declared enemies of the mon
archy and without declaring themselves
against religion and morality.
It Is perhaps too much to expect that
the Centrum party- as a whole and as
at present constituted will declare for
liberalism and parliamentary govern
ment, and for fair redistricting of the
divisions in Germany which elect mem
bers to the Reichstag, but there are
many wise and far-seeing men in this
party, and Its leaders. Dr. Spahn and
Erzberger, are fearless and able men.
At the congress which will meet after
the war it will be easy for the nations
of the world to deal with the repre
sentatives of a liberal Germany, with
representatives of a government still
monarchial in form, but possessed - of
either a constitution like that of the
United States or ruled by a parlia
mentary government.
Easiest Transition Is Likely.
I believe that the tendency of Ger
man liberalism is toward the easiest
transition, that of making the Chan
cellor and his Ministers responsible to
the Reichstag and bound to resign after
a vote of want of confidence by that
body.
At the time of the Zabern affair
Scheldemann asserted that the resigna
tion of the Chancellor must logically
follow a vote of want of confidence,
and it was the Chancellor who refused
to resign, saying that he was respon
sible to the Emperor alone. It requires
no violent change to bring about this
establishment of parliamentary gov
ernment, and, if the members of the
Reichstag should be elected from dis
tricts fairly constituted, the world
would then be dealing with a lib
eralized Germany and a Germany which
has become liberalized without any
violent change in the form of its gov
ernment Of course, coincident- with this par
liamentary reform, the vicious circle
system of voting in Frussla must end.
This change to a government by a
responsible ministry -can be accom
plished under tile constitution of ' the
German empire by a mere majority
vote of the Reichstag and a vote in the
Bunderat. in which less than 14 votes
are against the proposed change in the
constitution. This means that the con
sent of the Emperor as Prussian King
must be obtained, and thatof a num
ber of the rulers of the German states.

FISHERMEN MAKE PLEA
KHALEM SE1.ERS ARK SAID TO BIC
Ori2HATI.ttt UNFAIRLY.
Cannery Manager Declare They Are
Justified in Enconraglng Seine
Operator!.
TVHEELER, ' Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.)
-Nehalem Bay fishermen met at tho
Union Cannery in Wheeler yesterday to
protest a pa in st the operation of sein
ing outfits at the mouth of te bay.
Over 50 fishermen were present. It is
declared by the ?ill-netters that th
seines are preventing ho fish from
running1 up the river, and their main
charge is aimed at the Co-operative Iju
ion Fishermen's cannery here, because
t is getting the product of the seining
grounds.
The cannery managers, on their part,
declare they are justified in encourag
ing the seiners because of a lacK of
good faith on the part of the net fish
ermen. The cannery has thousands of
dollars invested in equipment, which is
loaned or sold to fishermen on easy
terms, and it is charged that the great
er part of their catch is sold to inde
pendent buyers, who enter into unfair
competition by maintaining buying sta
tions, without other investment or ex
pense than the hiring of their repre
sentative. If the big cannery In "Wheeler Is to
operate it must have fish, and if the
boatmen sell to the transient buyers.
the cannery must get its supply from
the seiners. Another meeting is to be
held next week.
CITY COURT TO INQUIRE
ACCUSATION AGAINST DEPUTY COR'
ONER tiOYNES SWORN TO.
Mrs. Carrie Eaton; Who Saya Her S-
Year-Old Daughter Was Enticed,
la Charged With Assault.
Judicial investigation of the accusa
tion of Mrs. Carrie Eaton that R. J.
Loynes, Deputy Coroner, enticed her
S-year-old daughter into the morgue
office by offering her a nickel, will be
conducted today In Municipal Court.
Deputy City Attorney Stadter caused
the arrest of Mr. Loynes on a complaint
signed by Mrs. Eaton, and Mr. Loynes
signed a complaint against Airs. Jaton
charging her with threatening him
with a. loaded revolver. Mrs. Eaton was
released on her own recognizance.
while Mr. Loynes furnished S100 ball.
Mr. Loynes yesterday made heated
denial of the charge against him. He
said the girl on numerous occasions
has asked him for money. On this oc
casion, he asserts, the girl followed
him into the office and he aid not
know of her presence until later.
The charge against D. C. "Wright,
now under indictment under a charge
in which the same girl is complaining
witness, is In many ways similar. The
lrl is said to have told county of
ficials that Mr. Wright enticed her into
a house on Third street with the offer
of an ice cream cone or money.
Mr. Loynes says he welcomes com
plete investigation.

ROUND-UP PICTURE
LI fill J ED BY NATURE
For Eighth Consecutive Year
Pendleton's Cup of Hap-
piness Overflows.
SHOW SQUARE AND HONEST
Annual Exhibition Is Immense
Money -Maker, but City Receives
All and Suggestion of Graft
Would .Be Resented.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
PENDLETON, Or.. Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) For the eighth time Pendleton
is in the grip of the Round-up, and for
the eighth consecutive year Pendle
ton's cup of happiness is full to over
flowing. To my mind the Round-up la a great
picture greater than any ever limned
by brush or pencil, for this picture
was in a measure created by that
master artist, nature.
Behold the picture Itself, the great
bowl in the center, alive with men and
women, the actors, with the horses
and steers and bulls and burros as as
sfstants and accessories. The inner
rim of the great bowl Is made up from
the rows of seats, bank upon bank, and
tier upon tier. In the inner and outer
picture are thousands and thousands
of happy, joyous, shouting human be
ings, arrayed in a riot of bright colors,
resembling a colossal kaleidoscope Into
which has been dropped every known
pigment.
Then the frame ah! the frame-
fashioned by the eternal, for it is the
deep blue sky, that Eastern Oregon
sky, which I have before called "liquid
turquoise," and I know of no phrase
more fitting; then over all the glorious
sun, that sun that shines over all the
world, but seems to shine softer and
sweeter on an Indian Summer after
noon In Pendleton than anywhere else.
Show Is Square and Honest.
Does the reader wonder why the
Round-up has such a grip on Pendle
ton? Does he wonder why it is that
the Round-up, has made the name of
Pendleton known wherever the Araerl
can flag waves, practically in everv
place where the English language is
spoKen i -
Let me tell you. Because it is a
square and honest show, given by
square and honest people for a legiti
mate purpose, to advertise and spread
the name and fame of Pendleton. As
a money-maker it is immense, but not
one of the officers, managers, promo
ters or backers makes a single penny
from or by it, with the single exception
of the secretary, who is employed the
year round and receives a modest
salary.
All of the Round-up property the
field, the stands, the track, the build
buildings, the pens, the corrals all are
owned by the city of Pendleton, end
to the city will go the emoluments ac
cruing from the Round-up.
Indian Display Great Feature.
One of the great features of the
Round-up is the Indian display, by
wnicn 1 mean the presence on the
ground and in the parade of nearly 300
Indians today, a third more than ever
entering -into the festivities before. In
the great parade were . all these In
dians, ranging In age from the suckling
babe to the woman of 80. The costumes
of these were gorgeous beyond descrip
tion, the bead-work being most elab
orate and the number of elks' teeth
on the various garments aggregating
perhaps two score thousand. One cape
worn, is said to contain such teeth to
the value of $30,000.
In no other place can such an Indian
parade be staged, for the reason that
the red men ofno other tribes have the
richness of apparel or the wealth of
equipage for their ponies that our
Northwest Indians have, and in the
second place, Indians, as a rule, are
suspicious of the white man, particu
larly in the show business. They have
been buncoed too often. But "Roy
Bishop's "Indians" believe in Roy, for
the reason that he' always treats them
fair, always does a little better than
he promises. v .
Liberality Is Appreciated.
It is a load of watermelons, a couple
of dozen crates of cantaloupes, perhaps
as many peaches, as a present to their
camp always something more than
agreed upon. The squaws are eager
to make a dollar now and then, as
eager' as they are to show their fine
apparel and fine ponies.
So every time an Indian enters the
track from the camp and does the re
quired stunt as that Indian passes out
of the gate on the return he or she
gets a shining silver dollar, regardless
of age. The mother that had the little
tot behind her, another in front of her
on the pony, and another at her breast.
gets four silver dollars in her hand
as she passes out the gate. So it goes.
The show is fair and square, on the
level, because the officials who give it
are built that way."
Tomorrow will be the big day. The
O.-W. R & N. will be able to take care
of the traffic, as will the Northern Pa
cific, but the former will be taxed
heavily. The Northern Pacific has only
a branch line here and can easily han
dle their quota, but the O.-W. It. & N.
has the faculty of rising to emer
gencies, and while their trains may be
a few minutes late, there will be no
inconvenience.
FORMER KOCXD-TJPS OVtDOSE
Events of Opening Day Make Gath
ering Memorable One.
PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) No champion can lay better
claim to his title than the man who
wins his honors at the Pendleton
Round-up this year. The results of the
events of the first day fully justify
the highest expectations. From begin
ning to end, even to the stagecoach and
Roman races, every event was fought
out on the homestretch, and the win
ner was the man or woman who had
the "breaks" in the luck.
It was a day of records. The crowd
was the largest first-day attendance at
tha Round-up in a number of years.
The races were all fast and the events
in the arena produced time that prom
ises records before the third . day is
over.
Unfortunately, too, the record-making
extended to the accidents. None of
them are uerlous. but two at least,
were dangerous. Donna Card, oi Walla
Walla, was struck in the breast by one
of Miss De Long's horses just as b:..
was making the first change in the
cowgirls' relay, and was unconscious
for a time. She returned -to the arera
later, bu,t it is doubtful if she will bs
able to ride tomorrow. Claude Elliott
was thrown from his horse In the last
event the wild horse race and was
badly bruised. It is believed he will
be able to ride tomorrow.
