Real Party Politics.

A little while ago the Democrats
were charging that the Republicans, by
assailing the botch the administration
had made Of our international rela-
tions. were unpatriotic In TINT they
were dragging partisan politics into
foreign affairs. "Partisanship," said
Robert Lansing. secretary Of state,
with becoming gravity, SHOULD stop Mt
tide WATER"
Now comes the president with his
demagogic cry that II he is not re-
elected president the Republicans Will
plunge the country Into war. This Is
playing party politics In foreign affairs
with n vengeance. II endeavors to
make the other nations Of the world
party to our domestic election. Un-
warranted In fact. uttered with su-
preme cnrelessness as TO the result on
American prestige and standing
abroad. put forth In n panic when the
fatuousness OF other cries was demon
strated. 1t marks the low estate to
which the presidency In present hands
has fallen.

NIT the weakness of their candidate
when they persist In wanting to know
what Hughes would have done. The
query Is a confession that the presl-

they We're satisfied with his course
they would point to 1t with pride. but
they are not and they know that 9TH

They do not undertake to justify
what he has done In Mexico, for ex-

expedient of asking what someone
else would have done that might be
more satisfactory. What Mr.. Hughes
would have done Is not at issue. As
The Star has pointed out before. 1t Is
Idle to discuss how he would have met
conditions that never would have de-
veloped under different handling.
The interesting fact now Is not wha.
anyone else would have done, but what
President Wilson did do. Even his sup
porters tacitly acknowledge that he
bungled. and they are asking the pub
lie to overlook that fact and return
him to Office. They convict their own
candidate when they attempt to fasten
on his opponent some Of the embar-

MERELY A FARCE
Silly Talk About President VIII
sons "Firm Convictions"
Cases Of Nicaragua, Haiti, santo Do
mingo, and Panama Show How His
Idea Of lnvioiable Rights
Works Out.

DR.. Julinn lrius, u member OF the
liberal party of Nicaragua, wanted to
be elected president of that republic
In the recent national election. He
went to Washington to nsk the per-
mission of the United Stntes govern
ment to be Il candidate. He was told
at the state department that the per-
mission. would be Forthcoming prOvid-
ed that he would consent to consult
the United States about Nicarngunn
finances In the event of his election;
that he would recognize all treaties be-
tween Nicaragua and the United
States; that he would request the
United States to keep Its marines In
Nicaragua, and that he would be
agreeable to the American policy In
favor of the abolition of the Nicara-
guam army and the creation instead of
II cOnstnbulary ofiicered by Americans.
Having given these promises Doctor
Irias returned to Nicaragua and was
nominated for president by the liberal
party. But. according to the story he
md his followers tell. he found he had
been double crossed. The American
minister had taken charge of the cleo
tion and arrangements had been made
to beat Doctor Irias. Accordingly the
doctor did not run. Thnt is, no liberal
went to the polls. Senior Chnmorro,
the conservative candidate, backed by
the American minister. won. Now
revolution is brewing In Nicaragua.
"TwO considerations" says the DEM
ocrntlc campaign text book, have ami
mated the president In the formulation
Of his Mexican policy and have COM
PEELED his adherence to 1t throughout
his Administrations, namely: The firm
conviction that all nations. both the
weak and the powerful, have the in
viOlable right TO control their inter-
nal affairs" etc.
Nicaragua, like Haiti. Santo Domin
go and Panama is shining example
Of what the presidents firm convic-
ton as to inviolable rights actually
means In practice.
