So Says One of the Keenest
Observers in Washington
Today.
SAY WOULD AWAKE US
And Serve to Make II Acutely Aware
of the Fact That There Is
Latin. America to BE
ReckOned With.

Washington. June 13.-"The chief
purpose accomplished by the present
Mexican embroglio will be the clari-
flying of the Latin-American policy of
the United States" says one Of the
keenest observers in Washington. "It
will serve to clear away the hitherto
unsurmountable barrier Of indiffer-
ence which exists between the United
States and the rest of the western
hemisphere. 1t will serve to make
the United States acutely aware of the
fact that there is Latin America to
be reckoned with"
This opinion is generally held in
Washington. For generation or
more American statesmen have been
striving to awaken interest in the
Latin-Ameriean republics. but the eff
fort has not been availing. There
has never been any real bond between
Anglo-Saxon civilization in the United
States and the Latin civilizations that
lay to the South. Sheer force Of cir
cumstances, however, has compelled
this nation to do what it has long
refused to do-to throw its sharp and
effective attention upon Mexico and
the entire Latin-American question.
For nearly century the Monroe doc
trine has been an American shibbo-
leth, few Americans knowing what it
caring less. With the prospect Of in
PREVENTION and possibly of costly
war staring Ms in the face, the mass of

New York June 13.-Charlie Reed
died the other day, but the memory
of his so years of helpful connection
With the turf history of America will
live for always.
II was Reed who first recognized
that Stratoga, N. Y, was one OF the
garden spots of the world. 1t was
he who boosted most for Saratoga and
it was his money that helped to make
Saratoga one of the greatest racing
centers in the world. Reed once was
part owner of the famous Saratoga
club. and his 100000 home in the
quaint little New York town was one
of the finest in the country.
But the thing that made Reed more
famous than anything else was the
fact that in 1891, at an auction sale,
ne bid the unprecedented price OF
100000 for race horse, although
100000 bid probably would have CIV
en- hi mownership of the horse. the
stallion Sir Blaise.
The sale took place soon after the
death of August Belmont, father OF
the present August Belmont, who is
one of the foremost men in the racing
game in America today. The eXecu-
tors of Belmont's estate placed most
OF the best horses in the Belmont
stables on the auction block, and a
crowd of nearly 5000 damned It's
way into the auction ring.
Sir Blaise, in those days, ranked as
one of the greatest racing horses IN
the land. Many horsemen came pre-
pared to bic big figure for him
nut Reed came to buy him. He had
seen the horse in action. He hao
lohdled and ported him after many
OF his wonderful races and he had
come t., love the animal.

A FEW FACTS AND FIGURES.

our population is demanding to know
the why and wherefore, and is arm
ing itself with stock of information
about lands which have hitherto been
neglected.
There are few points of similarity
in republics of Central and South
America. They are alike specifically,
because they avow republican form
of government, but there the like
ness ends. The political bond be-
tween them, however, is much closer
than the commercial bond. Owing to
racial differences, which often have
served to prevent the development of
intercourse between them, the United
States never has really won the 10y
atty of the confidence of Latin-Amer-
lea. Efforts to develop our trade with
the Latins have failed because we
have failed to understand or to handle
discreetly their type of social and
business organization.
All of the trouble from the days of
the Mexican war down to dollar d.
plomacy" can be reduced to this-lack
of understanding and a pervasive
apathy. Now that the Latin-Ameri-
can temperament has changed from
an academic factor to concrete and
knotty problem for the United States,
there is certainty that both the
lack of understanding and the apathy
will vanish. When this nation comes
to regard foreign policy as a serious
and vital part of it's affairs, it GER,
tain that much of the traditional fric-
ton with LatinAmerica will vSuish.
Within the period of two months
the United States has bumped it's
head" against Mexico and has learned
more-that is, the mass of the popula-
ton has learned more-regarding the
nature of that puzzling civilization
than it has acquired in the previous
half century All of the United States
now is alive to the danger of having
a powder box on our southern bor-
der. The provinciality of the Ameri-
can is being effectively rooted out.
The American is coming to regard
diplomacy as something more than
the game of the dilettante, but as
hard-headed matter of business. He
also understands now that our for
eign policy on Latin-American affairs
is not a mere man of straw" for the
intellectuals to knock around, but a
factor in the daily lives and the well
fare of millions Of his fellow citizens.
In a decade from now the long
cherished dream of Pan-Americanism
based upon mutual aims, ideals, and
sympathies may be an accomplished

THE BEACH TRIO.

owner of the great stallion, a voice
far in the rear doomed forth:
My bid is 100000"
1t was the voice of Reed The
crowd seemed stunned. A bid of this
amount was an unheard of thing-an
act that it seemed could be committed
only by crazy man. The crowd forgot
all else in it's amazement over Reeds
bid, and Reed Immediately became
cynosure of every pair of eyes in the
room. Even Easton was daZed, but
in a minute or SO he found control
of his voice. and looking around the
room, said huskily:
Gentlemen, are there any other Of
fers? 100000 has been bid for this
horse. It's the greatest bid in the his
tory of the American turf. Have you
all done? All Done! The stallian
Sir Blaise is sold to Mr.. Charles
Reed for the heretofore unheard Of
price of 100000"
Amid the widest cheers, Reed
stepped forward, paid over the $780,
900 and triumphantly led his horse
out into the open and fondled him.
Some of his friends came forward and
asked him:
Charlie, why did you go to $780,
900 all in one jump. If yuo'd have
bid $4,000 or 100000 you probably
would have gotten him and saved the
extra $4,000 or $45,000."
perhaps 7 would" responded Reed.
"But I wanted this horse, and
wouldn't cheaper him by bidding in
uJkles to get him. I probably haven't
got as much money as most OF the
Turfmen these days, but I've got
enough to pay the price for a horse
that | want. l wouldn't take $15O,OOO
for the horse right this minute"
Reed was about .90'years old when
he died. He left but little OF the sew
eral millions that he made during his
fifty years of active connection with
thearacing game. With him it was
case of "easy come, easy co. His
hands always were in his pocket for
the purpose of extracting from. it some
of his bankroll to give some Needy
friends. No one ever appealed TO
Reed for help in vain.
Reed was known as one of the best
losers in the history of the turf. Time

How Pine Bluff Aids It's Poor

What is the good of an Associated
Charities?
Why not continue to dispense re-
lief to the poor in the old hap-haZard
way through individuals, city officials
and various church societies, each
working in ignorance, probably, Of
the aid given by the others in the
same case? Why have organized
charity at all?
Because, when three or four people
pull together their combined pull is
stronger than their separate jerks,
and the poor get the benefit. Read
the story of the Jones family below.
Because. each member of the COM
hine knows what the others are
doing for the family, SO no two of
them do the same thing and that
means money. time and energy saved
Because. when all charitable agen-
cies and individuals unite and throw
the money a t their disposal into a
common fund trained workers can be
secured TO stay permanently on the
job looking after the poor, keep a
central office. employ systematic
mess methods, and stand always
ready to serve their employers and
the public. Organization spells eff
ficiency.
Because, organized charity stands,
above all else. for these things:
Thorough investigation of all cases,
not merely to see who is worthy"
and who unworthy" but to find out
the underlying facts and needs.
Striking at the causes of a familys
poverty rather than treating their
surface troubles. In other words, in
stead of paying rent indefinitely,
going after tn esickness, .!nemploy-
ment, the deserving or drunken hus-
band, causing the demand for the
rent.
Complete elimination of the profess
sio1al beggar.
Helping the poor to get out of their
povery-self support and self respect.
A LITTLE STORY FROM REAL
LIFE.
The widow Jones and her six chill
dren lived in a leaky, tumbled down
shanty several miles from town.
Johnny, fifteen, did odd jobs around
the neighborhood, making from four
to five dollars a week. They drew
ten dollars from the County Pauper
Fund each month. The neighbors sent
in clothes occasionally They thought
the family ought to get along nicely
with this. Yet the Jones remained
the dirtiest, most ragged and sickly
family for miles around, with bad
reputation for shiftlessness and low
morals.
The case was reported to the AS
ISOLATED Charities. A worker iavesti-
gated promptly. This is what she
found:
The mother suffering with appendi-
citis and confined to her bed three
fourths of the time
month old baby about to die from
malnutription.
The other children running wild
from lack of control. and perpetual
ly sick from the unwholesome food
cooked by the eldest girl, child of
eleven.
