Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine.

At the closing session of tn. American
Academy of Political and Social Science
in Philadelphia Saturday, Maj. Gillette.
formerly of the United States Army,
spoke in criticism of the Presidents
course toward Mexico, and Austen G.
Fox, a New York lawyer, in praise of the
Presidents Interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine
The former expressed the opinion that
Mr. Wilson would not be unwilling to
become a war hero in order to get sec
ond term" and the latter the opinion
that Mr. Wilson would rather see the
Monroe doctrine an absolute myth than
engage in war with any one Both opin-
ions do Mr.. Wilson an injustice.
1t will be remembered that when Mr..
Taft ordered troops in large numbers to
Texas. some of his opponents saw a pur-
pose on his part to start war for cleo
ton effect. His party was in trouble on
domestic issues. and he as President
facing many embarrassments. What
easier than for him to make intervention
necessary. and then base his campaign
for reelection on war sentiment, which
would overshadow all else?
No such course was taken. Mr.. Taft
did not intervene in his own behalf; and
between November, when he was defeated
on domestic issues. and March, when Mr..
Wilson took charge, he kept things in
statu quo for his successor, SO as to
leave him a clear field. Mr. Taft resisted
what his opponents had feared, and
charged, would be irresistible.
AS for the Monroe doctrine, that COM
prehends war. in that its strength lies in
the power and willingness of this country
to express it by force of arms if neces-
sary. Eliminate war from the equation,
and the doctrine is a mere proclamation
a polite request, as Ambassador Page
drolly phrased it in his London speech.
And Mr.. Wilson did not indorse that
speech as popularity interpreted at the
moment, but accepted Mr.. Pages expla-
nation of it as an after-dinner deliver
ance suffused with humor.
Mr. Wilson might or might not secure a
second term as the result of war with
Mexico. Had Great Britain accepted Mr.
Cleveland's challenge in the Venezuelan
affair and the war gone well with US. he
might have had a third term in the White
House as the result. Mr.. Mckinley's sec
ond term was not obtained, as some as
sert, as a reward for his conduct of the
war with Spain. His conduct of our do
mestic affairs had been even more sue
cessful, and alone would have carried
him to victory in 1860.
There is much vigorous criticism OF Mr.
Wilson's handling of the Mexican prob
lem. but no reason whatever to suspect
that he is nursing it along to a point
where he can change his course and util-
ize it for either party or personal ad-
vantage. His policy is believed TO be
sincere and patriotic in intent.

CITY of Big Events.

Washington is a city Of events Inde-
pendent of Congress. the White House
and operations Of the executive depart
ments. meetings. councils and conven-
tons touching American life and interests
at all points are always coming to pass
in the national metropolis. The list of
such affairs for single year would be
too long for easy and comfortable read
ing. And the list grows longer with each
succeeding year. The national city is the
natural convention city. In spite of GER
tain convention facilities which might be
better and which will be improved, CON
ventons gravitate TO Washington. Com
ing once. convention comes again, an
other follows in its course and then an
other. until surely it will be said that all
convention roads lead 10 Washington.
Congress not only meets here but re-
mains here for what appear TO be stead
lily lengthening periods The growth of
the country. the increasing number of
questions of national moment and the
increasing size of the national legislature,
which generally tends to prolons discus
sion and render public questions less
easy of speedy disposition, make for
longer sessions. The constant increase in
the number of national activities, or of
activities once considered personal or
state activities with which the national
government now concerns itself. makes
for a larger and more dominant capital.
As the nation grows the nations city
crows, and with this peculiar manner Of
growth goes private and quasi-public ex-
pansion-more population, more homes,
more hotels. more stores. more Office
buildings and wider and wider extension
of urban and suburban areas.

BUCHANAN PUT TEXAS
IN HALL Of FAME
State Pride Caused Congressman to
Have Statues Of Houston and
Austin Properly Labeled.

Washington, July 1.-visitors TO the
Hall OF Fame In the National Capitol
will hereafter know that the statues
of General Sam Houston and Stephen
y. Austin were placed there by the
State Of Texas This simple happen
ing is due TO the arrival in the halls
Of Congress Of J. p. Buchanan OF
BRENNAN. When he arrived to serve
his first term in the sixty-third Con-
gress, Buchanan observed that there
WIS nothing on the base OF two Texas
statues TO indicate the State from
which they came. although all of the
other tributes TO the great men we're
plainly labeled by the various States
OF the Union.
Congressman Buchanan at once
sought out the custodian OF the build
ing and asked why the two Texas
memorials were not properly LABELED,
and was informed that official action
through Congress or the Texas Legis.
lature would have to be taken before
the name OF the State could be cut
upon the base OF the two statues. as
they had not been so marked when
originally set up in the Capitol.
This thing has been on Buchanan's
mind ever since, and yesterday as he
walked through the hall he saw prep
arations being made for the dedication
of the statue OF George Washington
Click. erected by the State Of Kansas.
He knew there would be a crowd in
the Capitol Sunday when the exercises
occur. and he recalled that none OF
these people would know that his
State. Texas. was represented there.

dered him TO carve the name Of the

The Mexican delegates representing
Huerta at the Niagara Falls peace con-
ference have issued statement which
does President Wilson great injus-

for the welfare Of Mexico. yet tried to
force the election Of Carranza as Pro-
visional President. This Is the first
intimation that any effort was made
to force the election Of Carranza.
though II is a well known fact the
United States demanded the election
of Constitutionalist or a Constitu.
tionalist sympathizer. This statement
Is likely to widen the breach.

Speaker Champ Clark captured and

told them woman suffrage was in

came up in Missouri he would vote
for It. He also told them, however,
he thought they could make faster
progress for their cause by working
through the several States than
through Congress. This last statement
the Galveston News thinks was a fine
piece OF work and will cause the ladies
to wake up to the fact that he handed
them a beautiful gold brick.

was not platform demand and he
did not feel authorized to urge any
measure not so imposed upon him.
This time he told them 1t was a State

fore not within his Jurisdiction.
