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

For 50 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 50 years federal coin has been distributed by Republicans among Republicans, where it 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 c. o. P.
 This year, however, Democrats are in the saddle. Following the tradition of half 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 of Republication arose howl calcu lated to wake the seven sleepers of Ephesus-or whatever place it was which those individuals chose for their protracted nap. The rivers and harbors appropriation was fraud, shrieked the Republican chorus; it was swindle, a wild and oppressive extravagance; and above all, it was pork" pork" and nothing but ''pork"-all because some one other than the old guard was get ting the benefit.

Securing South American Trade.

It Is a mistake to shut one's, self up within the foolish conceit of speak. ing only one language. People whc know now the language of the South American countries are in demand
 It is worth dollars nowadays to be able to sell goods in those parts of the world. Another kind of man that is fn demand Is one who knows where to find the facts as to what European nations sell to Latin-American peo- pies. German. French and Italian languages have new commercial value given them because of the Euro. pean war. Yet the facilities for learning the speech of any well-known commercial people are so near at
 hand that 1t is surprising how few really make an effort to put them. selves in possession of this new means of se1f-advancement.-Wa1l Street Journal. ss

PEACE POLICY WISE
President Has Strengthened
 Monroe Doctrine.
Exhibition of Dlsinterestedness In the Present European Crlsls Cannot Fall to Add to Prestige of
 the Country.

What will be the effect of the peace policy of the administration on the Monroe doctrine? The question is sug. gested by Ambassador Berastorf's statement that Germany will respect the American view of that doctrine during the course of the war.
 An idea is current that little can help the Monroe doctrine except addi- tions to our effective force; that propa gandas for peace and governmental activities in favor of peace are, to a great extent, a departure from the course that Is it's sole support.
 This is far from the truth. The main strength of the Monroe doctrine is the prestige and influence of the United States. And this is not based wholly on military power. Important commer cial and friendly political relations have much to, do with it. The exhibi- tion of great disinterestedness the rendering of special service to the com, munity of nations, will greatly en. nance 1t.
 It Is reasonable to predict that if the United States succeeds in playing the part of real friend and mediator to the warning nations, if it happily falls to her lot to be potent factor in re. storing peace to Europe and thus rem dering an unmistakable service, the Monroe doctrine will be greatly strengthened
 It may be found, in the long event, that President Wilson and the United States, without the exhibition of force. have given the Monroe doctrine sup port that will protect it against az. gression. perhaps even the implied challenge to which it is now occasion ally subject, for many decades. And it is far enough to look ahead. It is well to remember that there are other forces in this world besides force. Whatever helps the United States in any way helps the Monroe doctrine.

splendid Record of Congress.

This newspaper does not by any means approve the work of the Sixty. third congress entire. We opposed the free-listing of sugar as a mistake and a virtual breach of the platform pledge, just as many other Democrats and Democratic newspapers did. We op- posed the repeal of the toll-sxemption clause, forced over the heads of Dem ocratic leaders in the house for req, sons of state not yet fully divulged. We have criticized other measures and acts upon grounds that seemed to us sound. But the infallible congress never has arrived and probably never will arrive. This one, judged by it's performances, has achieved a record very much above the average. In the accomplishment of constructive tasks shirked or mishandled by it's predeces- sors it has rendered distinguished and memorable service = New Orleans Times-Picayune.

NEEDS OF SOUTH AMERICA
Bank Funds or Credits Seem to Be the Things Most Urgently to
 Be Desired.

MT. John Barrett's addresses brought out the interesting point that has been noted before, but not with such prominence, that the chief trade question in South America is not with regard to purchasing manufactured supplies, but with regard to the dis position of their. products.
 The United States can sympathize with the South Americans in this point. But its'is difficult to see how they can be doing much more than they have been doing. The United States has been for years the chief customer of Brazil for coffee and of Cuba for sugar. Moreover, as South Americas surplus is like our own largely of agricultural and food prod; ucts, 1t is quite probable that a mar ket can be found for them in Europe We might take a considerable share of South American cattle or dressed beef. 'st
 The things most needed in South America are bank funds or credits. It is not clear that the United States can furnish that out of hand. But certain leading banks are making a start in that direction. It is not a hazardous prediction that invest. ments in that direction will, if well managed. prove decidedly profitable.

Having failed in everything else since he returned from South America. Mr.. Roosevelt now has appointed him self military instructor to the United States, and is teaching1th the American people the viciousness of peace treat ies and the need of military prepared ness He is displaying in his new role the same wisdom that he showed in attacking the foreign policy of PTesi- dent Wilson.
 No one imagines that the United States can afford to disarm- Every thoughtful American is agreed that this country must maintain a strong navy, and must devise some military system that will provide our army with a trained reserve in case of war. But while paying this tribute to the imperfect civilization of the world, every thoughtful citizen is likewise agreed that this country should do everything possible to keep war away from our shores; whereas MT. Roose- velt stands for policies that are sure provokers of strife.
 Mr Roosevelt champfDned the treaty-bFeaking ship subsidy clause of the Panama canal act which, II not repealed. would have cost this country the good will of England.
 MT. Roosevelt made all Spanish America hate and fear the United States by his lawiess action In taking Panama

 Let us Improve our neet and army. by all means; but let us maintain the wise policy of the present administra. ton, and do all in our power to make military action unnecessary. Let us make arbitration treaties wherever we can Let us deal justly by all nations, whether they are able to demand jus tice or not Let us make patience and fairness the foundation stones of our foreign policy, and let there be no counterpart in our land of the blatant jingoism that is turning the fairest fields of Europe into vast graveyards.

Absurd Attaeks on the PresIdent.


 Senator Sherman's speech before the Republican state convention must have been written way back in the forgotten days when Senators Fall and Penrose were telling about Mex ican outrages on American citizens He says:
 The Democratic party declared in 1912 that the Constitutional rights ot American citizens should protect them on our borders and go with them throughout the world. We compare this campaign promise with the Demo cratic performance. At no time in the history of our country have the rights of persons and property of American citizens been more insecure or hazardous than now" 3 fGt In the last six weeks some fifty thousand Americans, scattered all over the field of the worlds greatest war. have been brought home under the protection of the American flag. with out one single case of insult or in iury.
 Senator Sherman goes out of his way to attack the fine national leader ship which the Democratic party has thus far given us during the war Senator Sherman ignores pointedly the kind of state leadership in the Democratic party which Is now 8 vital menace to Illinois.
