Washington. July % Informal con

and Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican am
bassador designate, continued yesterday
at the state department. Although press
dispatches from Mexico City have an
nounced the appointment OF Mexican
members OF joint commission to an
dertake adjustment OF differences be
tween the two countries il was stated
officially at the department that no final
agreement as to the method of conduct
ing the negotiations had been reached
II was pointed out also, that if it should
be determined to make a Joint commits
sion, the American members could not
be headed by Henry p, Fletcher, ambas-
sador designate to Mexico, because Mr..
Fletcher's official position would prevent
him from serving in that capacity.
When told about dispatches from Mex.
leo City saying Special Agent Rodgers
had informed the Carranza government
that the United States troops in Mexico
gradually would be withdrawn, Mr. Polk
said Mr.. Rodgers had no authority to
make such statement, and that the poll
icy of the American government re-
manned unchanged.
Both Mr.. Polk and Mr.. Arredondo after
they had talked for half an hour said
they had made progress, but had reached
no final conclusions. Yesterdays confer
ence was devoted entirely to the general
scope of the proposed formal negotia-
tons and questions of methods and de-
tails were not touched upon. Mr., Polk |
later reiterated his statement of Tues |
day that the conversations were pro-
crossing most favorably" and had |
reached a point where some definite ar
was to be expected in few
days.

Do You Like p Fair Fighter?
(YON lzRrS Herald

In this campaign. now fast draw
ing to a close one Of the things that
stands out boldly is the remarkable
self-restraint that has marked the
conduct of Woodson Wilson.
In the case OF accusations and abuse
which have been virulent in the ex-
IRENE, he has maintained that same
Eoise that has marked his conduct
throughout his incumbency Of the
White House.
It requires a big man to control
himself when under fire, and Mr.. Will
son has shown in this particular. as
he has in others. what really big
man he is. Never once has any
thing escaped him that might be de-
scribed as undignified. He has treat
ed his adversary with the greatest
consideration. In fact as yet he has
never even mentioned his name. Mr..
Hughes, on the contrary, has in
Gulged in a fault finding campaign
that would do credit to a common
scold.
And as fo~ Colonel RooseVelts
course, has there been anything ne
has not said against the man at the

March of next year, when a new adj
painistration can be ushered in. Dur
ing that time, during those four
months, there is no telling what may
happen. The men in our diplomatic
and consular services abroad might
as we'll close their desks and come
home on the first steamers. And
they are not only taking care Of the
business of all the belhgerent powers
as well. It will be a pretty mess If
the present administration is over
thrown. That is the issue that is
dawning on the American people in
this day, the eve of the greatest cleo
ton of all time.
Our domestic politics have gone be-
yond the shore lines Of Am erica.
Europe is as much interested in the
vote casting as the men who will walk
to the polls and cast their votes in
every state in the Union. And that
in itself Is bad. Europe should have
no interest in our elections. Yet, we
learn from the foreign dispatches, the
people abroad are being taught just
how a Presidential election is con-
Quoted, how the ballots are cast and
counted, how the popular vote and
the vote of the electoral college are
two different factors in an election.
Why so much interest? Tt is because
of this. Wilson has pursued one
course in his European dealings. It
powers wanted it has not been what
the Allies wanted. And when Charles
Evans Hughes in his famous Mil
waukee speech said, .The whole Dem
ccratic accomplishment must be
wiped off the books for the good of
the country Europe saw a new era
dawning. Europe did not stop to
think that Hughes might have meant
he would repeal the Federal Reserve
Act, which has put a stop to panics
and business depression, or the Fed
eral Trade Commission which has
done SO much to fix just relations
between business and the government,
or the Rural Credit Law which pro-
tects the farmer against the money
lender, or the Non-partisan Tariff
Commission Act, which will take the
tariff out Of politics, or of any OF
those great domestic laws which have
improved the living conditions in
America, Europe does not think of
these things. Europe thinks of what
new administration will mean to
her. SO Europe raises the real is
sue in this campaign, an issue that
divides disloyalty and patriotism.

THE PRESIDENT.

There are few people in Connecti-
cut who know that Woodrow Wilson
was at one time modest college pro-
fessor In this state. Yet, for two
years, away back in the late eighties
he labored in the GLASS room at Wes-
1eyan University, down at Middletown.
The following short sketch Of the
Presidents career is interesting at this
time: '2ssSS.@e ra ~H*

both Of Scotch-Irish descent. His
fathers people left Ireland in 1907.
His father was a Presbyterian minis

when he was two and a half years old,
ard he spent his boyhood there. In
1870 his father became professor in
the theological seminary at Colum bia
vate schools. In 1878 he went to
Davidson college, a, small old
fashioned Presbyterian school, but he
became i'll and returned to his home
where he staid until the autumn Of
1875, when he went to Princeton. He
" as graduated from Princeton in 1879,
studied law year at the University Of
Virginia, then went to Atlanta and
opened an office with a partner He
SOON decided that the practice Of the
law was not the profession best
suited to him, and went to Johns
Hopkins for two years of post
graduate work in political science.
In 1885 he published Congressional
Government" which brought him
recognized place among writer's on
political subjects. In June 1885, he
married Ellen Arson. That autumn
he went as associate professor Of
history and political economy to
Bryn Mawr. From 1888 to 1890 he
was at the Connecticut Wesleyan
university. in 1890 he was made pro-
fossor of jurisprudence and politics at
Princeton, in 1902 chosen as president
of Princeton. in 1910 resigned and be-
came governor of New Jersey, and in
| 1912 was elected president of the
| United States.
