Mr.. Root at Rio.

Secretary Roots address 10 the
Pan-Amerlcan Congress, now sitting
in Rio de Juuciro, must impress his
fellow-Americans as wholly admira-
bic. Moderation, tact, conviction,
and impressive form all give it
value. It viii be strange, indeed,
il it does not lead 10 better feeling
everywhere his side of the Atlantic.
Yet the average American must
wonder if it was necessary TO say
such things as these with reference
TO the United States;
We wish no victories hut those Of
peace. ul territory except our own and
no sovereignty except sovereignty over
ourselves, which We deem independence.
We neither claim nor desire rights,
privileges, nor powers We do not freely
CouCede To every american republic.
We wish 10 increase our prosperity,
expand uIr trade. ana grow in wealth
and wisdom, but our conception of the
true way 10 accomplish this is not TO
pun GOWN others ana pTrHt by their
IuiU. hIt To help all our friends To
common prosperity and growth. that
we pH} al become greater ana stronger
lJstlIot-
There is nothing there which has
not been written in twenty formal
declarations of our Government,
nothing vhicn is not revealed in all
our relations with our sister re-
publics 10 the south. II would
seem that, impressive as these
things are-and they are the most
impressive sentences of the entire
address-they might have been taken
for granted and the Secretary have
discussed instead some of the prac-
tical problems which are to he de
cided by the congress.
As "a matter of fact, however,
these are the very declarations
most needed To be made. In spite
of the friendly attitude OF every
President since Polk, in spite Of the
fine tact and strong hand of all the
directors of the Bureau of American
Republics, particularly of the pres
ent incumbent Of that office, the
Latin-Americau nations have long
shied at the bugaboo of absorption
by the United States. Of late years
this fear has fed ON our interference
in the Venezuelan credit imbr0gliO,
the acquisition of the canal strip
after the Hgntning-hash revolution
of Panama, and the Presidents ac-
tive interest in saving Santo Do
mingo from open robbery. That not
one Of these episodes furnishes the
slightest ground for a belief that
this country intends TO gobble up
Ecuador or Patagonia or Peru has
not prevented them all from enlarg-
ing on the fear that that would
happen.
But now the Secretary of State
has made the representatives Of the
other American republics a defini-
tive announcement. We want no
battle with them, none of their ter
ritory, none of their rights, privi-
leges, or powers We want only
that increase of wealth, trade, and
wisdom which comes from a gen
eral uplift OF these two continents
To common prosperity and growth.
There can bc no reasonable uncer-
tainty now As far as the official
repre- sentative OF this nation can
pledge his country the United
States is pledged.
1t is well it has been done. and
it is especially well it has been done
with so much discretion and force.

Chevy Chase Lake Has
All the Amusements

Because Of their popularity. many per
sons are under the impression that
music and dancing are the sole means
Of diversions at Chevy Chase Lake.
Nothing could possibly be further frCm
the truth. There are many other forms
OF amusement. notably bowling. rowing.
and shooting. while there are also
swings. a motion picture theater, and
other attractions. II will thus be seen
that the Marine Band and dancing
pavilion are not the only magnets. al
though they apparently do get the
''liOns share" Of attention
The concerts are given every evening.
Sundays included. with new programs
for each performance. Dancing Is in
order every weekday evening a the
conclusion OF the concert No charge
is made for dancing al the Lake. The
many natural attractions, facilities pro-
cided, and regular car service make
Chevy Shase Lake a popular place for
picnicking by day.
