New York, June 14.-Soldiers. SAIL
ors, clergymen, representatives Of la
Dor and Of business met here today to
discuss the military needs Of the ma
ton. The National Security League
named 1t the peace and preparation
conference.
Theodore Roosevelt's views on arbi-
tration treaties, war, unpreparedness
and pacificists, expressed in letter
written by him under date Of June g..
to Hudson Maxim. were to be given the
gathering by Hudson Maxim. After
referring to letters on unpreparedness
sent TO Mr.. Maxim by Oscar Strauss
and others, Colonel Roosevelt's missive
continued:
Il was saddened by the extra ordi-
nary letter sent you by the three young
men. purporting to speak for the senior
class Of the college Of which they are
members. The course advocated by
them for the nation would. Of course.
not only mean a peculiar craven avoid
ence Of national duty at this time. but
would also inevitably tend to perma-

ual cowardice, no less than national
cowardice.

side the ranks of the suffragists
themselves. The argument that
better laws will be enacted when
women have the vote has not been
sustained by the history Of those
States which have for years
granted to women the right of stuff
rage. The women themselves have
no moral nor legal right to disrupt
business and pile up taxes of the
State to obtain a privilege without
which both they and the public have
been doing very nicely for all time.
They are no better prepared to
wage a winning fight this year
than they were last year. Their
surest success lies in the modera-
ton Of their demands, and not in
antagonizing those who honestly
think that woman has no place in
politics.
Neither is there amy reason why
the Anti Saloon League should be
permitted to harass the people at
every election by calling for a
referendum. There is no good
reason why ten per cent of the
voters should have it within their
power to force the other ninety
per cent to the expense OF State
wide campaign every twelve
months.
Every man who would like to
see business in settled condition,
who is tired Of the antics of the
professional agitator, should sup
port the Constitutional Stability
League and limit the frequency of
initiative and referendum cleo
tions.

WHY FOOD is ALWAYS
DEAR.

EIousekeepers who have recent
ly had the periodical experience
of paying full prices for produce
while reading of crops left to rot
on the farms because there was
no profit in marketing them have
naturally put the blame on the
dealer. No doubt that is where
much of it belongs. Under an
equitable system of merchandise
ing the dealer should be taking
advantage OF low prices at the
farm and giving customers some
benefit Of them.
But blaming the dealer does not
acquit the housekeeper of COM
plicity. An inquiry shows that
housekeepers are i'll large measure
responsible. They are indisposed
to patronizc the markets, where pro-
duce is always cheaper. They will
not bind themselves to support CO.

A CORDIAL INVITATION.

The President of the German
American Alliance, who calls the
President Of the United States a
political bankrupt warns him
that he has forfeited his re-elec-
ton" by his notes to Germany.
We do not yet know whether
Mr.. Wilson intends to be a can
didatc for reelection, but there is
one highly important fact that we
desire to emphasize for the bene-
fit of all our hyphenated friends.
The next Presidential election will
be decided by American votes, not
by the votes of men who are at
heart subjects of foreign Gov
ernment.
Most Americans who are Amer
ican in spirit as well as by birth
or blood or choice have become
satiated by the continuing threat
of the so-callcd German vote in
the next election. The changes
have been rung upon this theme
for nearly a year The German
newspapers in Germany are no
less arrogant than German news
papers and agitators in the United
Statcs in boasting of the decisive
influence that this vote will exert
in electing the President of the
United States in 1910.
We shall have a showdown ON
that issue next year. If there is
a German-Amcrican vote or any
other hyphenated vote that thinks
it can elect a President of the

present instance, devolves upon the
United States.
OF course, there will be a storm
of protest. there will be found
many persons who will contend
that it is none of our business {;
that we have no right to interfere
with the actions of another SOW
ereign nation. But it will be
found that these same persons are
of kind with those who would
be the first to demand drastic ac-
tion if some missionary in for
eign country were murdered. Who
does not recall the storm of indig-
nation when the civilized powers
did not intervene to stop the mas
sacre of Jews in Turkey, or the
religious fervor with which the
suppression of the Boxer uprising
was supported!
Whatever may be said to the
contrary, the fact remains that
the United States holds the posi-
tion of a big and kindly brother
to the other nations of the West
crn hemisphere. 1t is as much our
duty to protect them from them
selves as it is to protect them
from a foreign foe.
Our action in Cuba a few years
ago.is sufficient pledge of the sin
ccrety of our intentions. Order
was brought out of chaos there
and it must be in Mexico. There
is no hope for the country, no
hope for its helpless citizens,
otherwise.
The call of humanity is urging
the United States to act, and this
country would be false to its duty
and false to its traditions did it
not heed the call.

MAKE MEXICO BEHAVE.

1t begins to look like the
'watchful waiting" policy of the
United States in regard to the
in Mexico is to be re-
placed by judicious use of the
big stick" This is well.
fractional bands Of Mexican
banditti have been fighting for
four years. Theirs is not the pa
triotic desire to better conditions
in that unfortunate Republic, but
the desire to exploit for their own
benefit the vast natural resources
of the country This has been
demonstrated to the satisfaction
of all unbiased and disintcrcsted
observers.
SO long as the factions confined
their efforts to discriminating
each other the world could look
ON without undue excitement and
wish them luck. But when condi-
tions reach that point where thou
sands of helpless women and chill
drcn are made actually to starVe
to death, when it plainly has been
demonstrated that it is impossible
for the warning factions to settle
their differences among them
selves, it becomes the duty of
civilized nations to take a hand.
Humanity knows no boundary
lines. When famine and plague
dcvastatc a land the world arises
in its generosity and succors the
helpless, Mexico is rended with
a greater scourge than plague or
famine. Therefore it is the duty
Of some one to step in and end
! its sufferings. That duty. in the
