Bluefields, Nicaragua June 2-Dr.
Julian Irias, representative on the
coast, Of President Madriz, has issued
q decree that vessels cleared for Blue
fields since June / can not enter this
port without the permission of the
Madriz government. If enforced this
would mean absolute control of the
coastwise trade by Madriz.
The official decree was issued from
aboard the Nicaraguan war vessel
Venus. The United States gunboat
Paducah will not permit the Venus in
Bluefelds or shell the revolutionist
trenches on the island side of the city
by firing over the provisional capital.
Whether the United States government
will allow the Nicaraguan government
to control the coming and going of
coastWise vessels is a matter Of doubt
here, and a decision by Secretary Knox
is anxiously awaited.
The Irias decree was issued Thurs
day, the day upon which the govern
ment troops fell back from Bluefelds.

OF Mr.. Roosevelt, whom, however, he
did not name, by saying that when he
(Bryan) was travelling in foreign
country he did not discuss that coun-
try's politics.
AS an outsider, he said, he did not
regard himself as sufficiently informed
OF enable him to discuss politics with
intelligence. Moreover, as a guest of
a foreign people. he would account 1t a
poor repayment Of their hospitality
to descant on controversial subjects,
which his entertainers understood bet
ter than himself.
He added that he had found religion
was . universal subject which. more

outside Of his own country without
giving offense. He said he was rejoic-
ing to find that the two nations doing
the most missionary work were Ameri-

Philadelphia, Pa, June president
Taft came to Bryn Mawr College today
to deliver the comm mencement address.
Seventy young women received di-
plomas. The president spoke on "Wo-
mans College Education" and follow
ing the exercises was entertained at

Carey Thomas, president Of the COL

dent will leave for Ada, O., where he

Speaking Of the higher education of
women, President Taft dissented from
the view that academic education un-
fits man or woman for business, and
held that the mental discipline, power
OF reasoning, cultivation. mad -compari-
son Of ideas, are of assistance in bus
mess transactions. He also dissented
from the suggestion that higher edu-
cation units them to discharge the
duties of wife and mother. He main
&ained that the educated and trained
mind is very important in rearing
children, and adds to the happiness Of
the home Higher education, he held,
gives woman great independence in the
choice Of the kind of life she is to lead,
and gives her many advantages, par
ticularly in the profession Of teaching.

ing Americans are tired Of seeing this
self-advertising individual paradins
Europe claiming to represent a dem
ocratic nation while seeking to ingrat-
late himself in undemocratic ways with
the representatives of monarchies and
empires.
Americans who love their country
and believe in republican institutions
are shocked and outraged to hear this
supposed representative of republi-
canism preaching the oppression Of
subject states.
Since when has it been necessary to
urge England to govern with a rod of
iron and sword of blood? India, Ire
land, Egypt, and South Africa are
broken with the former and wet with
the latter"
Referring to Roosevelt's comparison
between England in Egypt and the
United States in Panama, Hearst says:
Such foolish, frayed, and fraudulent
phrases ,dishearten and distress Ameri-
cans of spirit. Frances work in Egypt
can be compared with Americas in
Panama, but England occupied Egypt
upon the false pretense of temporary
government that has remained since
upon the obvious basis Of greed and
exploitation. MIR. Roosevelt tells her it
is better to be violent and unjust than
tinid and sentimental. Why should
Mr.. Roosevelt deny the accepted Amer
lean idea that a just government is bas-
ed upon the consent of the governed?
IF Mr.. Roosevelt is right Washing
ton and Jefferson were wrong, and
Patrick Henry's patriotic words ought
to be torn from children's readers and
Mr.. Roosevelt's trucking twaddle sub
stituted. The United States is being
misrepresented abroad by tin soldier,
a toy colonel, who, altho unwilling to
submit to discipline for the few days
he served in the army, has been forever
since trying to infiict military methods
and arbitrary rule on his own people
