NOME, ALAskA, JUNE 1s, 1915.

Senator Lodge holds that the Uni. tde States has the right to exempt it4 shipping. not only coastwise but for. eign- going, from canal tolhs. but main tains that we should abandon thkt right in order to overcome the dis. trust and dislike of Europe. Conced ing that distrust and dislike exist, the question arise whether they can be overcome and whether the means pro- posed by President Wilson and ap proved by Mr. Lodge are the best.
 Distrust and dislike of this country in Europe are almost entirely con- fined to the ruling aristocratic and official class. They spring from the inherent dislike champions of mon- archy entertain for republics. They extend to France and have been dis played toward the young republic Of Portugal. Those sentiments are not shared by the masses of the people in Europe. who view with pride the proof furnished by the United States that monarchy and aristocracy are not es- sential to orderly government, that the people are capable of ruling them- selves without the aid of king and lords.
 The dislike and distrust Of the rul- ing classes are inspired by the fun- damental character Of our institu- tions and by the sympathy we havo shown to all who have .attempte to supplant monarchy with similar in-- stitutions. It is doubtful, therefore, whether they can be removed at all. They cannot be removed by pussillanI nous surrender of 6 right we have asserted. for that would only add con- tempt to those sentiments. By stead fastly maintaining our rights we should inspire respect and should then have made Q good beginning :O remove hostile feeling. For respect forms a good foundation for trust and friendship. while contempt never does.
 MT. Lodge took high and solid ground when he opposed carrying par ty warfare into foreign affairs. One great need of this country Is con- tincity to foreign policy without re- gard to changes of administration. But Mir Wilson In tho tolls contro- vsrsy has done precisely what Mir. Ledge condemns. He found the na- ton committed by the preceding con- sress to certain policy. He found that policy challenged by e foreign power as violating treaty and de- Tended by the preceding administra- ton az conforming to that treaty. Hs found negotiations in pro6rsss for ar. bitration of the question. He could have continued those nseotia&ions and

PLA7T FOR UNITED
STATES SENATOR

(F'rom the Yerington Times-)
Sam Platt, of Nevada. residing in
Carson City lis the Republican candi-
date for United States Senator from
Nevada this year and is pitted
against the Laird of Chevy Chase on
the Democratic side of the house.
Sam Plat is a Nevada product, and
no Nevadan need feel ashamed of
him. He is one of the brightest and
brainest young men in this state--or
any other state-today. He is an at
torney of such ability that he has
handled some of the greatest cases in
the state in the last fifteen years, and
finally landed the appointment Of
United States attorney for Nevada.
This position he filed with credit and
ability until his resignation was call
ed for by the Democratic administra-
tion. He is as clean a cut and up
right gentleman as you will find in
the entire west-or east for that mat
ter-and is politician of no mean
ability. There is no quibbling, no
haggling about him on any question,
and you can always tell where to find
him when once he passes his word.
He had been Republican all his life,
with progressive ideas. Mr.. Platt is
not burdened with such possessions Of
wealth as is his opponent in this cam
paign, but he is full of honor and en-
ergy and lover of his home state,
Nevada. Should he be chosen to rep
resent us in Washington his every ef-
fort will be for the betterment of con-
ditions in Nevada. He may not be-
come an international character at
once, but he will be Immediately rec
ognized as one of the brainy fellows
at Washington who, despite the ham
dicap of moderate means and no titled
relatives, will make his way to the
top of the ladder as a thorough
American. Should he be elected
there will be no false alarms when he
starts to do things, nor will his con-
stituency ever be at loss to know
where he stands on any question that
in any way interests Nevada. The
people have, this year, chance to
elect Nevadan to the high Office of
United States Senator, man whose
only interests are in our state, who
is capable of looking after our inter-
$, but who is not, altogether, one
of the worlds greatest characters
This is not an advertisement; it is not
paid for, and is written by the editor
AMI is just what we think and know
about Sam Platt.
