How Much Is Now Left Of the Bal.
timore Platform?
The President had boldly signed the
Pork River and Harbor bill, and his
facile pen is dripping with ink eager
to attach itself to . Pork Pubic
Buildings bill.
The friendliest apologists OF the
Presidents part in the pro1lgate
waste of money wrung from the peo
ple by oppressive taxation have moth
ing better to say for him than that
it is hardly fair to expect man to
say 81 forbid" in this Presidential
year when he is candidate.
The foregoing words describing the
profiigate waste Of the peoples money
with Executive approval are taken
without change from plank OF the
platform on which Woodrow Wilson
was elected in 1912:
I'VE denounce the profiigate waste
Of money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through the
lavish appropriations of recent Re-
publican Congresses, which have
kept taxes high and reduced the
purchasing power Of the peoples
toll. We demand a return to that
simplicity and economy which be-
fits q democratic government"
How much is now left Of the prin,
siples declared and the promises reg
istered at Baltimore as inducements
to citizens to vote for Wilson.
Possibly it is because he and his
party have been such reckless. such
wholesale regulators Of the pledges
Of 1912 that few people remember OF
care to remember what pledges were
made in his behalf about forty days
ago at ST. Louis.-New York Sun.

Orofino was paid visit yesterday by
candidate for state honors, Miss
Catherine Dryden of MOSCOW, for state
superintendent of public instruction.
Miss Dryden is receiving the united
support of the people of her home
town, some of her warmest supporters
being democrats, among them Probate
Judge Morgareidge of Latah county.
We are personally acquainted with
Miss Dryden and can assure. the people
that her nomination and election will
be in the interest of the public. A
more capable, honest and conscient-
ious lady never aspired for any public
position, and land matters would be
perfectly safe in her hands.

A POLICY OF FlRMNESS AND
CONSISTENCY NEEDED.

The Nation has no policy OF
aggression toward Mexico. We
have no desire for any part OF
her territory. We wish her to
have peace, stability, and pros
perity. We shall have TO adopt
a new policy, a policy OF firm
ness and consistency through
which alone we can promote an
enduring friendship. We de-
mand from Mexico the protec-
ton OF the lives and the prop
erty OF our citizens and the Sc
curity Of our border from depre-
dations. Much will be gained
II Mexico is convinced that we
contemplate no meddlesome in
reference with what does not
concern us. but that we propose
to insist in a firm and candid
manner upon tho performance
OF international obligations. TO
a stable government approprf
ately discharging Its interna'
tional duties. we should give un'
grudging support A short per,

friendly dealing will accomplish
more than many wears \ vacil

confused chapter OF blunders.
We have not helped Mexico. She
lies PROSTATE. impoverished.

with the woes and Outrages OF
internecine strife, the helpless
victim of a condition of anarchy
which the course OF the Admin

For ourselves. we have wit

zens and the destruction OF their
property. We have made enc
mics. not friends. Instead of
commanding respect and de-
serving good will by sincerity
firmness, and consistency. we
provoked misapprehension and
deep resentment. In the light
OF the conduct of the Admin
istration no one could under
stand its professions. Decrying
interference, we interfered most
exasperatingly. We have not
even kept out Of actual con
flict, and the soil OF Mexico is
stained with the blood Of our
soldiers. We have resorted to
physical invasion, only to retirt
without gaining the protested
object. 1t is record which
cannot be examined without a
profound sense of humiliation

Roosevelt Applauds
Hughes Speech

lvered his speech of acceptance and
vigorously applauded every telling
point.
The Colonel repeatedly arose and
bowed in response to the cheers for
him and the shouts Of Teddy" Ted.
dy!" "Hurrah for Teddy!". and when
the meeting adjourned he made the
following statement:
1T is an admirable speech and |
wish to call attention to the following
DOints:
Il am particularly pleased with the
exposure OF the folly. and worse than
FOLLY. Of Mr. Wilson's Mexican policy
and OF the way in which this policy
has brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico itself
Moreover, | am very glad of the
STRAIGHTFORWARD manner in which Mr.
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr.. Wilson has covered this ma
sion by the manner in which he al
bowed foreign powers to gain the i'm.
preston that although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy they
we're not to be taken seriously.
Not Words Which Count.
"As Mr.. Hughes said it is not words
but the strength and resolution behind
ME words which count. AS Mr.
Hughes pointed out. there is no doubt
that II Mr.. Wilson's conduct and &C.
ton had been such as to make tho
foreign nations believe that he meant
precisely what he said in his strict
accountability there would have been
no destruction OF American lives by
the sinking Of the Lusitania.
when Mr.. Hughes uses strong
words his record shows that they are
always backed by strong deeds. and
therefore In the enormous majority OF
sases the use OF strong words renders
4 unnecessary ever to have recourse
10 strong deeds.
Again. Mr.. Hughes speaks in char
Acteristically straightforward fash
hon of the outrages committed on mu-
Hftions plants, and all men, whether
sitizens of foreign nations or nominal
sitizens of our own lana. who had In
any shape or way abetted OF condoned
those actions can understand that Mr..
Hughes, II President, will protect
hese domestic American interests end
punish offenders against them with
he fearlessness and thoroughness
Ehat he showed in dealing with the
powers Of evil at Albany
Brought Nation to 'gnominy.
"Just before coming in to listen to
Mr.. Hughes just characterization OF
Mr.. Wilson's failure to protect the
lives and property of Americans in
Mexico and on the high seas, ! hap
bened to pick up John Fiske's Critical
Period of American History" and was
struck by the following two sentences:
"A government touches the lowest
point of ignominy when II confesses
It's inability to protect the lives and
The property Of its citizens. gov
ernment which has come to this has
tailed in dischargine the primary func-
lion of government and forthwith
peases to have any reason for exist
mg'
.Mr. Hughes has pointed out in his
upeech with self-restraint, but with
emphasis, that 1t is precisely this
urinary function which Mr.. Wilson
Administration has failed to discharge
and that 1t is precisely this point 'o1
knominy to which he has reduced
the nation over which he Is Preei
dent"
