THE WILSON POLICY

"There can be no certain prospect
Of peace in America until General Hu-
erta has surrendered his usurped au-
thcrity in Mexico; until II is under
stccd on all hands, indeed, that sucf
pretended government will not be
countenanced or dealt with by the
government of the United States. We
are the friends of constitutional gov
eminent in America; we are more
than it's friends, we are its cham
pions; because in no other way can
our neiqhbors, to whom we would
wish in every way to make PROOF oi
our friendship, work out their own
DEVELOPMENT in peace and liberty"
This is the most distinctive and sig
nificant passage in the presidents ad-
dress to congress, for it lays down the
basic principle on which cur govern
ment is to deal not only with Mex
leo but with all Latin America. The
declaration that the United States is
the steadfast friend Of constitutional
government in the western world, and
that 1t will countenance no other kind
is no less important or far-reachlng
than was the Monroe doctrine It is
a policy that will become historic and
guide this nation through long de-
cades TO come; furthermore, it will
serve as no other policy could the
needs of the present; it will win the
confidence of all thoughtful, patriotic
people in our neighboring republics.
and will advance our highest inter
ests throughout Central and South
America.
In respect to Mexico. the Wilson
policy has thus far been eninently
justified. Refusal to recognize the
lawless, criminal regime of Huerta
has been the surest way toward peace
and toward a satisfactory adjustment
of Mexican problems. What may fol-
low the fall of Huerta, which is now
foregone, cannot be clearly discern
ed; that is a matter that must be
left to separate treatment. 1t is GER
tain, however, that SO long as the
usurper remains in power, no con-
structive step toward settling Next
can troubles can be taken.
AS the tested friend" of constitu-
tionaI government, the United States
will be able to serve the best inter
ests of it's neighbors, and also to con-
serve and promote it's own highest
welfare.-Atlanta Journal.

SECRETARY McADOO'S GOOD !,
WORK
GOOD

Speaking of the details of the treas
ury's offer to loan to the banks of the
country money to move the fall crops
in the sum of $50,000,00O, in his re-
port Secretary McAdoo says:
1T was essential that the action of
the department should be non-parti-
san and non-political: the crops of re-
publicans. democrats and progress
ives. and all other classes of people.
had to be moved, and the earnest eff
fort of the department was to have
the benefits of this action diffused as
widely and impartially as possible"
After praising the psychological
value of these incidents, the report
continues:
They demonstrate clearly that any
improvement in our financial system
which will permanently establish CON
fidence will in itself be an immense
gain, and If that improved financial
system assures the opportunity to Sc
cure at all times the necessary funds
AID credits to meet the expanding
and legitimate needs of the commerce
and industry of the country, it will be
an achievement of enduring benefits.
These incidents also show conclu-
sively the enormous value of an al
truistic governmental agency in the
financial affairs of the country. So
long as the government has the pow
err to intervene in a beneficent and I'M
selfish way, the danger of panics and
unjust practices will be largely, if not
wholly, destroyed This is one OF the
chief objects sought in the proposed
reformation and reorganization of our
banking and currency system. The
people of the country are to be con-
graduated upon the early prospect Of
sound legislation on this vitality i'm
portant subject. Should the congress
enact the fundamentals of the pend
ing measure it is believed that perma-
nent protection will be provided
against recurring commercial crises,
and that adequate facilities will be
created for that legitimate and sound
expansion of credits SO vital to the
prosperity of our great and growing
country"

THE TRIUMPH OF GENIUS

News stories indicate that William
Marconi is about to press his wonder
full achievements in wireless telegra-
ply still further by making it posi-
BILE to telephone across the Atlantic.
Experiments in this direction have
proved richly promising. There seems
no doubt that the sound waves of the
voice can thus be clearly transmitte1 /,
and it is believed to be merely a mat
ter of time when words will become
articulate over the oceans expanse. A
writer in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger interestingly notes that:
The increase in the distance over
which the wireless telegraph success
fully operates is amazing. In 1898 it
was only fourteen and a half miles.
The next year words were thrown
across the Engliss Channel thirty
miles. In 1901 the distance from
Cornwall to the Isle of Wight, two
hundred miles, was aerially bridged

Mr.. cILcAalsTs RETIREMENT

In a communication addressed to
the Tampa Tribune, under date OF
December ), former Governor Gil
christ formally announces his retire
ment from the senatorial race. We
think that he has done a wise thing.
The former governor has visited GER
tain sections of the state and has no
doubt made himself familiar with the
beat of the public pulse We wish it
were possible for Mr.. Stockton TO see
his way clear to follow the former
governors example. We think that it
would be a patriotic step for him to
do so. 1t would help to do away with
factionaIism in the democratic party
in Florida and would bring the party
together in cordial uniication.
While not wishing to say anything
in derogation of Mr.. Stockton, it does
appear to US that such a step would
be pleasing to President Wilson, al
though we may be altogether mistak-
en- in our representations. 1t occurs
to us that Senator Fletcher is very
near TO the president and has his en-
tire confidence. We say this because
Senator Fletcher has Loyalty stood by
him IN the enactment of the tariff
measure into law. He is Loyalty
standing by him in his efforts to have
the currency bill enacted into law. He
is loyalty holding up his hands in his
policy of eliminating the Mexican die
tator. The president seems very
deeply concerned in the matter OF
rural credits and in the commission
appointed for the purpose of making
a thorough investigation of the oper-
ations of this system in Europe Sena-
tor Fletcher was honored in having
been made chairman of the commits
sion, and the president is looking for
ward to his report with very grave
interest. 1t seems to us that he has
reposed great confidence in our Sc
nior senator.
Senator Fletcher is also president
OF the southern commercial congress,
in which the president has shown
great interest, and the very nature of
Senator Fletcher's position has
thrown them together a great deal.
This tells its own story. He must
be impressed with Senator Fletcher,
and is at least pleased with his work.
Of course, If Mr.. Stockton was an
experienced statesman; if he pos
Sessed the talent and had acquired the
reputation of Hill. or Stephens, or La
mar, or Vance. or any one of that
class OF statesmen, his candidacy
would naturally stand in an altogeth-
er different light But as he possess
es no greater talent than Senator
Fletcher. and is lacking in his expe.
rience. it seems to us that there is no
pressing necessity for change, espe-
cially so as the present incumbent is
in no wise hostile to President vii.

has it in his power to become famous
as a harmonizer.
