THE STAR—WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1911. FE? Canada’s “Appeal to the People” on Reciprocity ~~ Is a Recall Election and a Referendum as Well “Wemmiber of United Pree ' Humphrey's Latest A man who by malicious falsehood will take awhy the reputation of a defenseless Woman {a a coward, A congressman who will shelter himself behind the privilege accorded to utterances on the floor of the house of representatives, and from this safe ground will take away the good name of a helpless girl, is a despicable coward This is Congressman iiiam BE. Humphrey of Washington The Congressional cord of the 18th of August contains a speech delivered by Humphrey. Its text was the Controller bay seandal, Its intent was a defense of the president. Its substance wag mud, slander and vituperation, hurled at Miss M. F. Abbott, young girl lately graduated from Radeliffe college, who is earning her living by mage sine and newspaper work. Miss Abbott was commissioned by Collier's Weekly to look Into the ctroumstances under which President Taft signed the remarkable order of October 28, turning over the shores of Controller bay to R. S. Ryan, représenting the Morgan-Guggenheim ayndicate. In the course of her Investigation Migs Abbott chanced upon a postscript written by Dick Ryan to Dick Ballinger, referring to Charles P. Taft's good offices in vouching for Ryan and his back era, Misa Abbott reported this with other facts necessary to her pub- Mshed article. The Controtler bay scandal fs in the hands of an_ investigating committee of the house of representatives. Louis D, Brandeis, who conducted the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation, has been retained to assist the committee in getting at the facts, Many witnesses are held under subpoena to give evidence before this committee, Miss Abbott among others, The investigation is progressing tn an orderly and Proper manner. The evidence, however, has not yet been taken. Not even President Taft knows what are the facts. President Taft las already told his story Wrath, does not accuse las Abbott of perverting the truth, He sug gests that she may have been imposed on by a wicked forgery—a forgery done presumably by some vic conspirator unknown to her. Why one should assume that a document which nobody has had a chance to examine is a “forgery Rot pause here to discuss. want to get back to Humphrey it remained for Humphrey, from the Seattle district of the state of Washington, to stand up in the house of representatives and de nounce Miss Abbott by name as a liar and 4 forger.

The Canadian election on reel procity, to be held Sept, 21, is a recall election, not on a single of. fleer, but on the whole membership of ¥ house of commons of parlia men very member of the commons is going back to his constituents to find out, at the polis, whether they ys i i\ HY e ; pi want him to stay on the job or get off. The “Canadian way” ts different from the American way. Up here, when an issue arises, folks vote on it direct. In the United States cleo tions are fixed events, held whether or not there are any issues, The action of the two countries on the reciprocity pact shows the difference. President Taft and Premier Laurter signed a treaty by which products were to pass from one! country to the other free of duty, or at reduced tariff rates. Press Taft did not consult ¢ nier Laurler did not cons lament. Having arranged th each sought yy cided the American people wa: iprocity.
