| conclusion that a democratic president
could reach. President Taft and Sec
rotary Knox acted in good faith lin ask
ing a New York syndicate of bankers
to join with similar syndicates in five
other countries to finance a Chinese
loan but they looked at the matter
from their standpoint, which is essen
TALLY different from the democratic
standpoint. The conditions upon
made would be entirely in keeping
with the principles upon which the
republican party has administered af-
fairs at home, but a democratic presi l.
dent. committed to the program which
| President Wilson has outlined, looks
at the entire situation from a diff
ferent standpoint, and It Is well that
the announcement of the presidents
position came at the beginning of his
administration. 1t clears the air and
gives our financiers at home and the
borrowing nations abroad notice of the
change that has taken Place in the
government at Washington.
This administration will encoura ge
the extension of trade but it will be an
extension open to every legitimate
trader-not trade limited or restricted
to a few. Other nations. too, will I'M
derstand that the United States does
not propose interference with foreign
governments or the independence of
nations when it encourages American
capital to invest abroad. China will
breathe easier as she recognizes the
friendliness of our country and meas
ures the force of the example which
our nation sets. President Wilson
could have done nothing better calcu-
lated to promote American commerce
nothing better calculated to promote
peace and friendship between our ma
ton and the nations whose resources
await development.
This sentiment is voiced, we are
pleased to note, by not only the DEM
ocratic press but by the independent
press of this country as we'll. The
presidents policy in this case may
never attain the importance which has
SO long attached to the doctrine laid
down by President Monroe regarding
our attitude toward the encroachment
of foreign nations on the Western
hemisphere, but conditions might arise
in the time to come when the Will
son doctrine would come to have
paramount significance with what we
have so long known as the Monroe
doctrine"

President Wilson's
Chinese Loan Policy.

Following is the fun text of Presi-
dent wilson's statement concerning the
proposed participation of this govern
nrent In the Chinese loan:
ssws are informed that at the request
of the last administration a certain
group of American bankers undertook
to participate IN the loan now desired
by the government of China (approx-
irnaEely $125, 000, 000). Our government
wished American bankers 90 partici-
pate along with the bankers of other
nations. because 1t desired that the
good win OF the United States towar DIS
China would be exhibited In this prac-
kfCal way, that American capital
should have access to that great coun-
try and that the United States should
be in q position TO share with the other
powers any political responsibilities
that might be associated with the de-
velopment Of the foreign relations of
China in connection with her indus
trial and commercial enterprises.
1.-The present administration has
been asked by this group of bankers
whether it would also request them to
participate in the loan. Representa-
tfves of the bankers through whom the
administration was approached de-
ciared that they would loan under the
proposed agreements only If expressly
requested to do so by the government.
The administration has declined to
make such request, because 1t did not
approve the conditions of the .oan or
the implications or responsibility on
its own part which It was plainly told
would be involved In the request
The conditions OF the loan seem %
MS to touch very nearly the administra-
tive independence of China itself and
this administration does not feel that
It ought even by implication be party
to those conditions. The responsibility
on It's part which would be implied in
requesting the bankers to undertake
the loan might conceivably go the
length in some unhappy contingency
Of forcibae interference in the finan-
cial and even the politica. affairs Of
that great oriental state, just now
awakening to O consciousness of its
power and its obligations TO the peo-
pie. The conditions include not only
the pledging OF particular taxes, some
of them antiQuated and burdensome.
&c secure the loan that also the admin
istratton OF those taxes by foreign
agents. The responsibility on the part
Of our government implied in the en-
couragement OF q loan thus secured
and administered Is plain enough and
Is obnoxious to the principles upon
which the government OF our people
rests"

permit this government to have hand

STRANGE co-INcIDENcE RELA-
TIVE TO FRANCES PRESIDENTS
OLDEST STUDENT IN sWITz-
ERLANo DIEs-ANoTHER POLAR
EXPEDITION.

| Paris, March 3o-When Sadi Carnot
was minister of finance an eminent
| archaeoIogst, who had just returned
from an expedition to Nepaul, present
! ed him with a curiously and deIcately
wrought stone idol. The rajah who
gave II to the archaeologist averred
that 1t assured supreme power to one
OF the members of the poSseSSor's
family, but that he would also die
violent death The Hindoo prince pre-
ferred to forego power under such con-
dltions. and SO it came into the possess
sion OF the man of science, who gave
IL to NJ. Carnot. The minister of finance
was not superstitious and accepted the
gift with pleasure.
The evening of Carnot's unexpected
election to the presidency of the re-
public the archaeoIogist received a
Iaconlc note from Madame Carnot say
ing: 1T is the statue" Seven years
later President Carnot was assassi-
mated at Lyons.
When Madame Carnot died her chill
dren found in her will an urgent re-
quest to them not to keep the idol.
Her sons, in compliance with their
mothers wishes, got rid of the image
which ultimately came into the hands
of an intimate friend of NJ. Poincare's.
who presented it to that statesman on
August 1Vy 4Sl4s MS DlrInaay. "A Little
more than a year afterward Poincare
was elected, by the congress of Yer
sailles, to the presidency of France.
1t is a curious coincidence, but Pres1-
dent Poincare like Carnot, has a mind
unsusceptible to the suggestions OF
superstition.
Historians Opinion.
A French historian, in connection
with the alleged cure for tuberculosis
now being advanced by DR.. F. F. Fried
mann in the United States, calls atten-
ton to the little known fact that the
medicinal use of the sea turtle is by
no means of recent date.
On July 8, 1888, King Louis XI of
France sent George the Greek, master
mariner, to the Cape Verde Islands to
seek various things touching nearly
to the well being and health of our
person" The Cape Verde Islanders
had the reputation of possessing a cure
of leprosy, a report of which had been
brought back TO France by q traveller
from the coast of Guinea at about the
time King Louis was in declining
health. According to the recital OF
this traveller, the big sea turtles were
caught by the islanders when they
came out on the beach at low tide to
