GERMAN PAPER DECLARES
ADMIRAL MAHAN DREAMER
Sees No Reason for Opposition to
Monroe Doctrine

BERLIN, July 1T is unthinkable
that Germany from any point of view
should be inclined to oppose the Mon
roe doctrine, according to a semi-Of-
ficial review in the Vossische Zeitung
of Admiral Mahans article regarding
the American, British and German
naVies published in England recently.
There is, besides, no other point on
which Germany is likely to come into
conflict with the United States. The
article says, continuing:
Admiral Mahan can have found no
reason in American affairs calling for
warning Americans against Germany.
He wrote, in our opinion, from the pur-
est love Of his own country, but he is a
dreamer in political strategy and built
up circumstances which really do not
exist. If we contest this train of
thought we are still far from the in
tention of worrying ourselves in any
way concerning the right and liberty
of the United States to strengthen their
fleet according TO their own IDEAS"

AUBURN, N. Y, July 7,-Represent-
ative Serene e. Payne, chairman of the
house ways and means committee, is
a candidate for reelection to congress.
In an interviaw announcing his candi-
dacy Mr.. Payne said last night:
81 expect to be a candidate for re-
election and l shall take active part in
the campaign, both in New York and
elsewhere. l have been invited by
the congressional committee and by
the state committee and will give them
all the time I can"
He declined to say what congress-
men he was going to aid and in reply
to the specific question whether he was
going to help Mr.. Lodge he merely
smiled and admitted that he had
spoken in Massachusetts on other oc-
CaSiOns.
II expect to go wherever they send
me-" he added.
10 the question whether the tariff
would be an issue, he answered.
Yes, the tariff and the good work
done in congress undoubtedly will be
the issues everywhere and in this state
will overshadow state issues, in my
judgment
president IaIt, MT, Payne went OH,
is to be congratulated for the general
results Of the first sixteen months OF
his administration. He has achieved
more in that period than any president
previous. AS the people get hold Of
the facts in regard to the tariff, they
are more inclined to accept his first
statement that it was the best tariff
law ever enacted. There has been a
wonderful change of sentiment in re-
gard to the legislation of congress. In
January our opponents were engaged
in appointing the committees for next
congress: in March they were con-
tempIating who should be their choice
for speaker in July when congress ad-
journed they were wondering whether
after all the next congress might be
Republican"

Other Presidents OF the United

their retirement with decent respect

centre of every conspiracy against
orderly government and the munipula-

Saws the New York Tribune.


Senator Depew returns in good
time. AS candidate for United States
Senator he will welcome the opportu-
nifty to take an active part in the dis
cussion of the issue now before the
Republicans of the State"
Senator Depew will probably not re-
gard this as very much of a joke; but
we wish the Tribune would tell us
frankly what is the issue In New York.
We have not been able to make it out
at this distance. Is Roosevelt the
issue? Hasn't New York had enough
of him and his ways? Why should he,
with all his honors, get down into the
political pit? Suppose he should die,
and Heaven spare his life for many
years so that he may have time to
| repent! would the Republican party in
New York go out of business? Ought
