NEWSPAPERS NEVER HAVE e..
JUBILEES-NOT GOLDEN ONES

The city of Cheyenne, which many
people in the eastern sections of the
United States are still inclined to
regard as a frontier town, has just
celebrated it's golden jubilee" II
may be claimed, of course, that the
mere attainment of a golden a%nniver-
sary does not of itself signify the at
tainment of all the culture of the ages.
but it surely must signify that some
real progress has been made. Forty
years ago bill" Nye, then unknown
to fame, did his first newspaper work
on the Cheyenne Sun, then the lead
ing newspaper in Wyoming. 1t was
published by Hayford & Gates, and
did much toward Transforming the
Cheyenne of those days into the
Cheyenne of today. But the news
paper never had a jubilee of any kind

DIRECTING EXPORTS

The President has coined a phrase
which will meet with universal APP
prevail. ITO direct, not to check ex-
ports will be the purpose of the new
board which he has appointed under
the provisions of the espionage bill.
This means that such food products
as go from this country to Europe
will be guided into channels which
will insure that they reach our friends
and allies, and not our enemies; that
all the world will thus receive a
striking demonstration of the vital
position which the United States
holds in a war crisis like the present;
and that this position will be strength
ened as against the day when war
shall be over. This course has been
adopted without reference to the

sTAND FIRM!

Bonar Law tells the English parlia-
ment that the total cost of the war
to Great Britain thus far has been
I $40 900. 900; and his predecessor
in the ~exchequer predicts that it Will
take $40.000.00O a day to carry on
hostilities. This would meal $1f,-
| 600, 900, 900 a year. The estimated cost
to the United States for our first year
of warfare is something like $1,000
! 900. 900. England has a parliamentary
government. and every penny of its
war money is expended under the
| scrutiny of Parliament. What kind
of a government we have is. for the
| moment. problematica1. But it is GER
tain that the American people will
not consent to expenditures far in
excess of those OF England for wal
purposes unless they al have a por-
ton, at least, of the safeguards which
the English people possess. No az
ton of Congress for a generation has
come so near to touching the heart
Of governmental problems in the
United States as this which has just
been taken in the demand to know
and to know before the fact-what
becomes of public money which has
been voted literally and demanded
even more 1ayishly. Congress should
not and cannot retreat from the po-
sition which the Senate has taken by
a vote of one political party in its
entirety and by the vote of practically
one-third Of the other political group.
This vote lifts the problem above the
field of partisanship and makes it
national in scope. 1t is not too much
t o say that the future of the nation,
in every legislative aspect at least,
depends in large measure upon the
manner in which Congress responds
to the present challenge of its pre-
rogative. We advise Congress to
stand firm.

Pennsylvania is second in line for the
Craftsmanship of the great committee
on foreign relations of the House
when that body again comes under
control of the Republicans. In his
three years connection with that
committee Mr.. Porter has rendered
services of the highest order, and he
has a clear conception of what the
correct foreign policy of our govern
ment should be. That his work is
appreciated by his colleagues is
shown by his selection as one of the
committee of reception upon the re-
cent visit of the Belgian mission to
the House of Representatives.

JAPAN AND THE
anPEN DOOR

If the Japanese government is med
itating no more than a Monroe doc
trinetrine for the Far East, and if
that doctrine is to be expressed in
the terms Of own, there is prob
ably no special cause for complaint
on our part. The Monroe doctrine
does not undertake to limit the legiti-
mate trade advance Of any European
nation which desires to set up com
mercial relations with any American
state. 1t seeks solely to prevent the
seizure of American territory and the
establishment here of foreign suze-
rainty at the expense of any Of the
American republics. To such a doc
trine the United States has always
been ready to subscribe, no matter
where it may be applied. for we have
never coveted another's lands. and
such colonial territory as we now
have was thrust upon us by the I'M
foreseen chance Of var undertaken
for a far different purpose.
Consequently, if Japan intends 20
set up the doctrine that any attempt
on the part of the United States or Of
any European nation to establish it
self in sovereignty upon the soil Of
China will be looked upon by the
Japanese as an u%nfriendly act, the
United States will be the first to as
sent to such a declaration.
But if Japanese loneliness regard
ing the note which Mr.. Lansing de-
spatched to Peking is to be inter
preted as meaning that she does not
recognize our right to trade freely
in China, to invest capital there in
safety, and to exercise such super
vision of our trade and investments
as is warranted by ordinary prudence,
then the United States will have to
dissent. The superb success of John
Hay in setting ajar the open door"
in the East was most largely due to
the full recognition that we are not
looking for territory or for aggres-
sive colonial conquest. So long as
Root and Knox were carrying on the
sequence of that doctrine in the Far
East, there was neither friction nor
resentment anywhere. 1t was only
when Bryan signalized his advent to
the State Department by repudiating
American obligations in the so-called
"six-power loan" and when Lansing
by his blunderingly expressed notes
has caused our motives to be called
in question, that we find ourselves
embarrassed. While the trained diplo-
matte mind of Republicanism directed
our foreign relations we had no mis-
understandings of this sort, and few
of any kind. Then every chancellerie
in the world knew that we said what
we meant and meant what we said.
Then there were no explanations and
re-explanations. Then there were
neither wars nor threats of war.
