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 Public
Buildings bill.
The friendliest apologists of the
Presidents part in the profigate
waste of money wrung from the PEG
pie 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
profigate 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:
1--WE denounce the prohigate 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 return to that
simplicity and economy which be-
fits a democratic government"
How much is now left Of the prin-
ciples 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 or
care to remember what pledges were
made in his behalf about forty days
ago at St. Louis.-New York Sun.

Messrs. john W. Stewart and c.

ternational convention OF the Apple
Shippers Association. They report a
splendid trip, but said that no sales
were made, and it was difficult to say

Because of the condition 81 the
market, old buyers are not talking
many chances this year. They are
simply going slowly and waiting for
the market to adjust itself.
Messrs. Stewart and Tabler had
several fine exhibits but made. no
efforts to secure any prizes. An or
charidist from Georgia, where the
fruit ripens fully month earlier
than in this section, carried away
most Of the prizes.
1t was the concensus OF opinion OF
TIE convention that buyers this year
must look TO Maryland and the two
Virginias for their fruit.

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
If 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 the performance
of international obligations. To
a stable government. appropri-
ately discharging its interna-
t.onal duties. we should give un-
grudging support. A short peri
cd of firm. consistent and
friendly dealing will accomplish
more than many years f vacil-
lation.-From Mr.. Hughes
speech Of acceDtance.

Roosevelt ApplaudS
Hughes Speech

Theodore Roosevelt sat in a box ss
Carnegie Hall when Mr.. Hughes de-
liyered 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
points:
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
ton by the manner in which he al
lowed foreign powers to gain the i'm
preston that although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy they
were not to be taken seriously.
Not Words Which Count.
"As Mr.. Hughes said, it is not words
but the strength and resolution behind
the words which count. AS Mr..
Hughes pointed out, there is no doubt
that If Mr.. Wilson's conduct and ac-
ton had been such as to make the
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
cases the rsse of strong words renders
it unnecessary ever to have recourse
to strong deeds.
Again, Mr.. Hughes speaks In char
acteristically aightforward fash
ion OF the outrages committed on mu-
nitions plants, and all men, whether
citizens of foreign nations or nominal
citizens of our own land, who had in
any shape or way abetted or condoned
those actions can understand that Mr..
Hughes, il President, will protect
these domestic American interests and
punish offenders against them with
the fearlessness and thoroughness
4. -. wi thn
powers of evil at Albany
Brought Nation to Isnominy.
"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
pened to pick up John Fiske's Critical
Period of American History" and was
struck by the following two sentences:
ga government touches the lowest
point of ignominy when 1t confesses
its inability to protect the lives and
the property of it's citizens. A gov
eminent which has come to this has
failed in discharging the primary func-
ton of government and forthwith
ceases to have any reason for exist
ing
"Mr Hughes has pointed out in his
speech with self-restraint, but with
emphasis, that it is precisely this
primary function which Mr.. Wilson's
Administration has failed to discharge
and that it is precisely this point Of
ignominy to which he has reduced
the nation over which he is Presi-
dent"

DECRYiNG INTERFERENCE,
WE lNTERFERED IN MEX
lcO ExASPERATlNGLY.

The dealings OF the Admins
tration with Mexico constitute a
confused chapter of blunders.
We have not helped Mexico. She
lies PROSTATE, impoverished,
famine-stricken, overwhelmed
with the woes and outrages of
internecine strife, the helpless
victim of a condition of anarchy
which the course of the Admin
istration only served to promote.
For ourselves, we have wit
messed the murder of our citi-
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 it's professions. Decrying
interference, we interfered most
exasperatingly. We have not
even kept out OF actual con
fict, and the soil of Mexico is
stained with the blood of our
soldiers. We have resorted to
physical invasion, only to retire
without gaining the protested
object. 1t is a record which
cannot be examined without a
profound sense of humiliation.
From Mr.. Hughes speech OF
acceptance.

FOR A MERCHANT MARINE
WITHOUT FEDERAL
COMPETITION.

Again. we must build up our
merchant marine. 1t will not
aid TO put the Government into
competition with private own
ers. That it seems to me, is
q counsel OF folly. A surer way
of destroying the promise of our
foreign trade could hardly be de-
yised. 1t has well been asked
Does the Government intend to

eminent as a competitor.-From

The word Naaman means 'pleasantness,' or "agreea-

of people that they always bring sunshine and of
others that they always bring the "bues"

that they have been having the bues ask them what the

anything about
Well never yet had attack of the "bues" and do
not think it becoming for Christian and
