Mr.. Wilson 10 True to His Nature.

Speaking in Buffalo on the Wednes-
day before election day, WOODROW
WILSON delivered himself Of this
thought In his blandest manner:
II want to register my solemn pro-
test here against the use Of u foreign
relationships for political advantage"
These words came from the man
whose appeal for reelection has been
built about the catch phrase "He has
kept us out Of war; The whole
structure Of his campaign has been
supported by his course in diplomacy.
His formal and informal addresses
have been filed with self.praise, based
on alleged achievements in the man.
agement Of foreign affairs, and his
continual cry has been that to Dust
him from office would interrupt the
prosecution Of his policies. No mar
in the canvass has been more diligent
in the use Of foreign relationships
for political advantage" than WooD-
ROW WILSON himself.
The platform on which he seeks re.
election includes planks on 'Internn.
tlonal Relations" on Foreign Rela.
tions.'' on life Above Property
referring to the conduct Of foreign
affairs-on "Pan-American Concord"
on the Monroe Doctrine and Mexico"
His speech Of acceptance contained a
discussion OF his treatment OF foreign
affairs boastful and lnudatOry; and
he made the Mexican situation the
subject of a long dissertation designed
to protect him from the just anger
| Of outraged American honor.
Under the heading 'International'
the Democratic Text Book. the Official
| guide for Wilson orators. presents
fourteen paragraphs. Some Of them
treat Of matters thus described "Eu-
ropean War; Neutrality" Monroe
Doctrine and Pan-American Affairs"
Foreign Diplomatic Responsibilities
In the same publication Mr.. HUGHES
Is asked to answer n number Of ques-
! tions. among which are these:
mfr. HUGHES. would you have tried
the policy OF diplomatic negotiation as
a means OF summon!ng the moral force
of law and neutral opinion to stop Ger
many's Illegal use OF submarines
Would you. Mr.. HUGHES. have broken
relations with Germany and sent our
young men by the hundreds Of thousands
to nameless graves at the bottom OF the
Atlantic or in Flanders before the policy
OF diplomatic negotiation had had thor
ough trial."
For WOODROW WILSON. after having
deliberately endeavored. in his owl
person and with his own voice and IN
the persons and with the voices Of all
his advocates. to gain votes by the cx'
pluitation Of the foreign relations OF
the nation throughout the whole cam
paign. 10 turn on the eve IT election
and deplore the discussion he invited
Is Il piece of colossal impudence.

Lord ROsebery's A. You Were Peace.

An "as you were peace" which Lord
RosEBERY denounced ~passionately in
his speech at Edinburgh on Wednes-
day night-a peace that would leave
Germany free to raid civilization

like a colossus bestride the world.
only II she succeeded in breaking the
military power Of the Entente Allies
and dictated her own terms Of peace
In Paris or London, but the German
General STAFF can hardly entertain
such a hope now.
Lord RosERERY's prediction Of what

the Entente Allies were to he beaten
In the war Is fanciful. I'VE are

said Lord RosEBERY. I'VE are fight

United States, for II we were van

United States would be the next to
snfer from the aggressive and un-
scrupulous power OF Prussia" The
subject is n h%nckneyed one, and 1t
has a false ring.
II Americans really believed that
England and her allies were fighting
TO preserve the United States from
aggression and s~pollation, Americans
would have been in the war on that
side long ngo. AS to what would hap
pen to che United States IL the leu

America could probably follow the ex-
ample Of England and raise and train

Of Pennsylvania. and Mr.. \. MITCHELL
PALMER for United States Senator.
The Bulletin exhibits the Mccormick
forecast on that occasion:
"McCoRMIcK will come TO the rhiia-
delphia county line with $4,000 major
ity. PENRosE will he third in the Sena-
torial race. Never has the Democracy
bsen more united. more hopeful, and
more confident than 1t is to-day"
Ri MCCORMICK anne To the Ihi!adel'
pllia county line just .Nj.oI0 short
OF his predicted majority for BRrM-
uAUGH. VANCE lost his ward, his city,
his county and his State. PENRost
heat PALMER for Senator by .i3,394
VOTES. These figures are not from Mr..
4CCoRMIcK's adding machine but from
the World almanac. Never was the
Democracy more shattered. more dis
hea rtened. more disguised than just
after that election day.
The only trouble with the Hon
VANCE MCCoRMICK's lnndslidcs is tina,
they slide the wrong way.
