MADE THE OLD GUARD HOWL
Republican Inconsistency Seen In At
tack on Democratic River and
Harbor Bill.

For 80 years the rivers and harbors
appropriation bill has been the recog-
nized means OF getting government
money" into the districts OF influential
congressman and senators. During
most of those 90 years federal coin has
been distributed by Republicans,
among Republicans, where II would do
most good to the Republican party;
and Republican papers unanimously
agreed that large expenditures of this
sort were evidence OF the public spirit
and wise foresight OF the G. O.P.
This year, however, Democrats are
In the saddle. Following the tradition
or half a century. the rivers and har-
bors bill was arranged to confer it's
chief benefit on the party in power.
Immediately from the camp and press
or Republicanism arose howl calcu-
lated to wake the seven sleepers of
Ephesus-or whatever place 1t was
which those individuals chose for their
protracted nap. The rivers and harbors
appropriation was a fraud, shrieked the
Republican chorus; 1t was q swindle, a
wild and oppressive extravaganza; and
above all, 1t was pork" pork" and
nothing but "pork"-all because some
one other than the old guard was get.
ting the benefit.

DID SPLENDID WORK
Tribute to American Diplomats In
Foreign Capitals.
Testimony Given by Veteran Diplomat
Proves That tho Conduct Of tho
State Department 10 Worthy
OF the Country.

Sir Edward Goschen, lately the Brit
ish ambassador to Germany, closes his
nnal report to Sir Edward Grey with
this tribute to an American:
Il should like also to mention the
great assistance rendered to us all by
my American colleague. Mr.. Gerard,
and his stan. Undeterred by the boot
ing and Kisses with which he was often
greeted by the mob on entering and
leaving the embassy. his excellency
came repeatedly to see me to ask how
he could help US and to make arrange
ments for the safety OF stranded Brit
ish subjects. He extricated many of
these from extremely difficult situa-
lions at some personal risk TO himself,
and his calmness and savoir-faire and
his firmness in dealing with the i'm
perial authorities gave full assurance
that the protection OF British subjects
and interests could not have been left
In more efficient and able hands"
The interesting aspect OF these SEN
fences is not SO much the evidence OF
good work done in behalf OF British
subjects as the professional tribute
paid by an able English diplomat to an
American ambassador. "Firmness" is
quality that an unframed diplomat
may possess. but "calmness" and
"savoir-faire" are technical qualifica-
tons that our representatives abroad
have not always possessed.
The plain truth Is that the American
diplomatic and consular service has
done extremely well In the arduous
and perilous duties which the European
war has thrust upon them.
Mr.. Gerard In Berlin met the crisis
as Sir Edward Goschen describes. Mr..
Myron T. Herrick, in Paris. has been a
tower OF strength.
In Belgium Mr. Brand Whitlock is
universally credited with the saving of
Brussels from bombardment. And IL
Is rather well authenticated that Amer
lean consuls performed the same serv-
Ice for smaller Belgian towns.
1t must be said that our diplomats.
for all their lack OF expert training,
have way OF arising to supreme de-
mands upon them.
Old Ben Franklin, the first OF the
shirt sleeve" school, showed France,
In our revolutionary era. what a plain
American could do. In the Civil war
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, as minis
ter to st. James, interpreted the real
feeling of the English people by hold
Ing Great Britain's politocracy from
recognizing the Confederacy. In the
siege OF Paris in 1870 Minister Wash
burne made a name for himself and
for his country.
