/ ne above appeared IA. - Star Of a LATE
date as taken from the Coos Democrat. paced
in leader entitled Scott and his Princi-
pies and fully endorsed by the Star. From
the whole article the editor sets at defiance
that oft repeated saving of their party that
they place the sole reliance of their princi-
pies upon the intelli renre and sound iudc-
ment of the people. We should certainly
suppose from the reading of the entire article
that he thought his readers mere ignorant
dupeS. ready 10 swallow down ANYTHING which
they might see IN print, and they were solely
governed by passion and prejudice, all that
wax necessary was just 10 cry crowned heads
of Europe" and every man would at once de
sert the Wing ranks and 90 over to Pierce
and Ming. Such appeals to the passions and
prcludices of the people may pass in some
sections OF Coos County. but will not 20
among the yeomanry of Caledonia. That
part of the article relating TO SCOTS views in
regard TO our naturalizations laws. the editor
knows was untre. and that Gen Scott at the
present time holds no such views as he attrib-
utcs TO him, that the opinions which he rx-
pressed upon the subject in 1871. at a time
when there was quite an excitement in New
York with regard 10 our toreign population.
he had since been satisfied were erroneous.
and had so expressed himself in a letter of
May -, 1913. What are WE to understand
from that extract but that the Democrats are
for adopting the wild scheme of changing our
entire foreign policy, and starting off on a
scheme OF foreign invasion. He saws the
doctrine sits on his submissive shoulders like
another old man of the sea upon another Sim
bad's. What doctrine does he mean: We
suppose none other than that adopted bv the
Father of his country, and which has been
steadily pursued by every administration from
Washington down.
But the Star rIdicules such notions as too
antlquatcd, calls it an antiguated. mustv Wing
policy, unfit for the country ana the world in
this day OF progressive democracy. We like
to see sometimes he cloyen foot of Locofoco-
ism show itself AS in the extract above. We
suppose that must be Frank Pierce Democra-
cy, and that he is fully committed to the par
ty of progressive Locofooism. which is ready.
II 1t can but obtain the power. to set one side
all the landmarks by which our nation has
been governed. Why don't they come out
and boldly tell the people that the policy of
Non-lnterventlOn as advocated by the Wnir
party Is the same adopted by Washington,
and that his notions were aatiquated. that h..
was unit to be the President of free peotIe.
General SCOTS opinions are antiuuated 50
were Washington's. Jefrerssn's, Aladise's.
and all orr Presidents
We are willing to own that the foreign pol
ry OF our Government as adopted and carried
'ut by Washington is a Wing policy, and that
