Recently China desired to contract

obtain the money from American

Mexico, without effective protest from
the Administrator makes them wary.
On August 8 the State Department
cabled to the American legation in
Pekin notice that the Department had
been unable to arrange the 100000
loan.
This puts an end to the negotiations.
Mr.. Wilson's change of mind came
too late, as usual. American bankers
were not fooled by political stiffness,
and the country in which Mr. Wilson
recently dedicated to the service of
humanity will not share in the finan-
cial rehabilitation OF China so long
as Woodrow Wilson is in the chair.
Under a Republican administration,
China can float a loan in this
try. because Amersican bankers know
American rights will be protected, and
because Republican statesmen know
it is good business, for trade follows
the loan and the Chinese market is
a large one.

Lansing Should Tell All

TFrom the Philadelphia Ledger.1
Secretary Lansing should tell all that
the Administration knows about the
inside of the proposed sale of the Dan
ish islands in the West Indies to the
United States for $25, 900, 900. The very
fact that with none of the essentials
of the sale changed in value we are
asked to pay five times as much for
the islands as Denmark was willing
and clad to take for them fifteen years
ago is suspicious. Moreover, as is
shown elsewhere, the old proposal was
not without it's scandals. 1t was ad-
mitted then that not only were the
Danes anxious to sell for IS, 900, 900, but
they were also quite ~reconciled to pay
a commission of 100000 to two groups
of unofficial negotiators to bring this
about.
that we should acquire the stands and
large rakeoff to be allowed by Dem
mark in 1900 and in 1902 the natural
inquiry is, what is the rakeoft that is to
be allowed by the easygoing Danes to-
day and who is to get it? With the
commercial value of the islands much
less now than in 1900, with the strate-
gic value to US the same or possibly
lessened by our bases in Cuba, and
with Germany now fully occupied else

BUTTERFLY DAYS
from the Ohio State Journal

~ e4AS IA SN1NS OOuI lldlsI
The long, hot days of July and Au-
gust are butterfly days. How these
beautiful insects revel in the warm
summer air and the SUM-! on lazy
wings they float about, but try to
catch one and you find h a they are
anything but lazy. Their wavering
flight is calculated to protect them
from their enemies.
Most people do not know the names
or even the butterflies, eX-
cepting as the white, the yellow or
the black butterfly, but each one has
a name, a common one as well as
a scientific one, and each butterfly
has characteristics and habits and a
life history, the knowledge of which
adds much to the pleasure of their
presence. There is the common white
or cabbage butterfly, so called be-
cause in the caterpillar stage it is
so destructive to cabbages. The yell
lows, or sulphurs, the puddle but
ternles," which congregate in swarms
about roadside puddles, are clover
feeders. The big, handsome. dark
orange butterfly with the black
stripes is called the monarch, and De-

flies, which feed upon that plant. There
are two gorgeous, iridescent, black and
blue butterflies very common at pres

spicebush swallow tail on account of
its fondness for this bush, and the lat
ter is called the red-spotted purple for
obvious reasons.

THE SOLDIERS FRIENDS

NOR more than a half century the
II American people have clearly
understood that the Democrat
&c party was and is unfriendly to pen
sions for veterans of the Civil War.
This understanding was not based
upon surmise or suspicion. but upon
facts.
While there have been a few Demo-
Gratis in each House of Congress who
were friendly to a policy of pensions
for deserving veterans, the party as a
whole has been antagonistic. This is
largely true because the Democratic
party, when in control. is under the
domination of the membership from
the Solid South.
Even though there be a few Demo-
cratic members from Northern states
who are friendly to the old soldiers
they are least able to render accent
able service I'M this particular when
their own party is in power.
1t is rather ludicrous, therefore 70
see a number of Democratic candi-
dates for the Senate and House max
ing strenuous efforts to capture the
votes of veterans and their sons and
daughters.
Every vote which helps to give con-
troll of either branch of Congress to
the Democratic party is a vote against
the real friends of those noble heroes
who bore the burden Of battle and
who were entitled to a substantial
recognition from a grateful nation in
the years of their age and inirmity.

SAILING
ME Chicago platform is the c

VINE Chicago platform is the chart
upon which the Republican
course will be shaped during
the campaign and during the next
four years. II Hughes speech of &C
c~eptance and in the other speeches
which he has made or which he will
make before November are the sailing
directions from the master of the
craft.
Mr.. Hughes places the emphasis of
his canvass upon our foreign relations
as they should be and as they are.
He will doubtless find occasion, as
the campaign progresses. to speak Of
our foreign relations as they we're
as they were when Seward or Blaine
or Hay or Elihu Root conducted them.
There are some who seem to think
that Americans generally are indif-
ferent or ignorant hen foreign af-
fairs are under discussion and it will
require a veritable campaign of edu-
cation to stir the voters to action this
year upon such a topic. We do not
agree with this view. We think that
Americans are more sensitive as to
the foreign relations of their country
than upon almost any other point of
national consciousness. 1t is true that
they may not know the jargon of di-
plomacy as spoken in the chancelleries.
of Europe-but they are keenly alert
to a point of national honor; n to
them a strong foreign policy" is a
~shibboleth which most of them can
readily translate into terms of words
or of action, if necessary.
This class of Americans-and they
are vastly in the majority - have
keenly felt the humiliations Of the
past three years. None of them is
too proud to fight" though none of
them IS anxious to do so. But all of
them know that-somehow and some
wherein the last three years we have
lost something from our international
life; and most of them know that we
annot regain what has been lost ex-
cept by a radical change in the man
ner of our foreign intercourse. That
change in mi is the affirmative
promise Of Mr.. Hughes candidacy.
Upon such a promise-as regards
this and other continents-he has gone
to the people. The response which
greeted his opinions as voiced on the
occasion Of his notification meeting
in New York is echoed in every State
where he has since journeyed and will
be re-echoed as he makes his way
about the country.
