The President the Foreign Minister.

The President the Foreign Minister.
From the Springfield Republican.
1t is the general belief about the
Senate that the present Mexican
policy is wholly the policy of Presl'
dent Wilson, and that Secretary
Bryan has had little TO do with it

The truly big Presidents have them
selves shaped the important foreign
policies Of their adminlstra lions. And
so have many of the iesser PresA-
dents.
In his Mexican business, President
Taft vas responsible for mobilizIng

rotary of state, Mr.. Knox, scarcely
figured in that important episode,
which had SO much to do WIN tne
breakdown OF the DIaL regime. NO
one would say that Roosevelt was not
the prime mover in the Panama
seizure; Secretary Hay merely trance

secretaries of state, but none of them
was III the least responsible for the
acquisition of the Philippines. NC

Grover Cleveland was the author OF
the warning to England regarding
Venezuela, with it's reshaping of the
Monroe Doctrine. Harrison, not his
secretary of state, made Chill toe the
mark in the case of the Itata. Grant
init ated the San Domingo annexation
treaty and fought Senator Sumner to
finish on the question of foreign
policy that ended with the Geneva
arbitration tribunal.
Lincoln dominated Secretary sew

member the name of Folks secretary
Of state? 1t was Polk, of course, who
made the Mexican war an admins
tration policy. Jefferson bought
louisiana from Napoleon, his secre-
tary of state being no more than his
clerk in that performance.
In all matters of great moment in
the foreign affairs of this country the
President is necessarily the supreme
figure. If he were not, he would be
Unworthy of his place. Mere diplo-
matists shrivel up into small figures,
historically speaking, in international
questions which involve political con
siderations of great sweep and i'm

Alaska will Have Government Railways,
From the Review of Reviews.

From the Review of Reviews.
Great policies have been coming to
focus with astonishing rapidity dur.
ing the last half year. The people OF
the Northwest were asking urgently
to have Alaskan questions taken up,
but they had no faith to believe that
comprehensive policies about Alaska
would be enacted into legislation for
n good while to come. Yet, almost
without the fact having sunk into
the national consciousness, we have
Already virtually completed leg.s,a-
ton under which immense transfer
nations are to be wrought In tho
great territory purchased by us from
Russ a and once derisively known as
Stewards Folly" Secretary Lane is
the man of energy and of convincing
craftsmanship who has been able not
only to formulate the measures that
will transform Alaska, but also to
secure their swift adoption. To be-
gin with, the United States govern
ment will proceed at once to construct
a railroad of a thousand miles extent.
and the bill signed by the President
on March II authorizes the expendi-
ture of $35, 100000 for that purpose.
This railroad will open up the agria
cultural and mineral resources of the
portions of Alaska that are most In
need of immediate transportation ia
cilities, and will in particular tap the
great coal fields. II is not an UNDER
taking that has been entered upon to
satisfy anybody's theoretical de-
mands for the government ownership
and operator of railways. Alaska in
the main will be developed by private
capital. But the plan of q govern
ment road best meets the existing
conditions.

Repeated applications of nitrate Of soda

Of nitrate of soda make an increased
