Definite Policy in Mexico

To secure from infringement the
rights of Americans in Mexico and
to render our southern border safe
from attack are among the first
duties of the government. To this
end we believe a definite policy uni
formly asserted far more efectual
than neglect alternated with unsup-
ported threats. If armed interven-
ton seems the only method certain
to maintain American rights, then
intervention should be thorough and
complete; the cooperation of other
strong American republics should be
invited; and stable, independent
government should be established.
Thus no motives Of self-seeking may
be imputed to us.-A. 7. Otis, 3 Du-
senbury Place, White Plains, n. Y.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune. like some other
papers, has taken fling at Mr.. Sweet
who IS trying to do good Job.
All hands seem to jump at this oc-
casion as good political bait No doubt
there are lots of technical points to
night over, which you can string out
tor some time. But who wants to vote
Tor the Republican party unless it in
tends to help clean up the country. as
they are trying to do now in Albany?
IT sincere efforts should be made BY
newspapers to kelp kill some of the
1901 laws which are breeding anarchists
faster than we can get rid of them
some good might be gained. We are
not interested in hair-splitting techni-
calltles. The lessons Of the war seem
to do but little good. The newspapers
seem to be no better than the rotten
politics which is the curse Of this coun-
-ry to-day.
You are now asking the public to
write Republican platform panks-a
me ldea, as FAR as 1t goes. But what's
,ie use ol pretty platform unless we
nave real man back Of it? You know
very we'll that a good man can be
found; that either party probably Will
not put MIN up; that they want man
me party can run. So, unless you are
playing the same game, why not come
out IN the onen-make a big noise about
getting a real man to work for the coun-
ny? We can stand it now, after the
,bunch Of lemons the Democrats have
handed to us.
l believe that if the Republicans put
up real man almost any reason
able platform Will be supported by both
Democrats and Republicans. We are
al sick Of the usual farce Why not
surprise the crowd and boost FOR real
man instead of playing with platforms !?

To the Editor of The Tribune.


Sir: The unexpressed but none the

American public to-day is not more
politics, but less politics. The voters
are disgusted with catchwords, fine
phrases, mere mouthings which do not
translate themselves into deeds. A

many other vital issues that cry for

not vaclllatlon, with dehniteness, not
evasion.
The predominant Issue in the com
ing campaign is to be Americanis.n.
The proper handling of the multitude
nous questions depends on an ade-
quate conception of what constitutes
Americanism. 1t is not fatuous lau-
datlon Of our great greatness; rather is
1t a healthy practical application of
traditional principles to current re-
quirements. Americanism IS founded
upon respectful reverence for CON
stituted authority, the clear right of the
majority to rule, a generous tolerance
OF the minority. Observance of these
three general rules should provide am
pie justice for those VINO have griev-
ances, plenty of freedom for those who
have honest differences, and enough
opportunity for changes by lawful
means.
Amsricanism stands not for "America
First''-that implies doubt, as if there
We're secondary choices-but for
America Only" There has been en-
tirely too much interjection of Euro
pean affairs among US, far too much
appeal to racial elements. The coun-
try must be purged of all alienism;
now IS the time TO root it ont. As
Americans we can solve our own prob
lens, so that every class, every race,
eVely sect may be satisfied.
Let US make the Monroe Doctrine a
personal doctrine.

Failure of Leaders 10 Recognize

o the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1 read syith interest the plank
suggestions. Nearly every one seems
to take it for granted that the rext
Administration will be Republican, bns
that depends on who the nominee for
President may be.
In 1912 the Republican National Con-
vention bundered when it refused to
nominate Theodore Roosevelt, the peo-
pies choice; and, fortunately for the
Republican party, made the same blum
der in 1916
Twice the leaders have been against
the peoples choice; so what assurance
have we that they will not repeat the
biunder and cause another Democratic
President TO be elected,
My slight experience in politics
taught me long ago that when a party
IS sure IT is going to elect It's candi-
date 1t is in the most danger of de-
feat. General Leonard Wood is the
peoples choice this year. They believe
him competent and trustworthy. The
leaders don't want him because they
can't control him. Is it the people or
the political ring that viii have the
say? OLIN J. GARLOCK.

Help for Railroads

As the circulatory system of the

body the railroads must be given
ample nourishment, not alone to
maintain life, but to grow as the de-
mand for increased transportation
and community distribution grows.
To this end adequate rates must be
established to compensate for ex-
penses incurred by the system in
rendering its service. Moreover,
such rates must be made high enough
to yield a fair return on invested
capital and thus attract additional
capital as needed. To stint the roads

Expulsion of Socialist
Legislators Defended
To the Editor of The Tribune.
s. NJ II Nc.,,., -.

o the Editor OF The Tribune
sir: Mr.. II. Young offers the follow
ing proposition, formulated no doubt.
with an eye cooked toward Albany.
where the program Of the Socialist
party is on trial:
THE Republican party pledges it.
self to see that every repre- entative
lawfully elected by 5he people shall
retain his seat, Whatever his political
opinions, provided only that the mem
her IN question shall no. be under
sentence or awaiting sentence under
the laws Of the coun,ry.'
1t is generally conceded that this
government Is government of the
majority; its present form is the wish
Of the majority. 1t provides for all
changes in the departments Of the Leg
lslature, judiciary and adm inistration
by due and peaceful process of the law.
There are, on the other hand, some po-
litical faiths which provide for the
forcible disposition o. this government
IN order that government Of a selfish
minority may sway an arbitrary rule.
1t must be admitted that these two
programs are Incompatible. Their de-
votecs cannot work together in unison.
An advocate of force elected to the
Legislature Of the present form of
government is an ins1dious borer from
within, monkey wrench in the ma
chincry of the government Of the ma
jority, who takes his seat If possible)
not for the good of that government OF.
majority, but for the evil purpose Of
the aforesaid minority.
I have no doubt THAT Mr.. Young
wishes to give the socialist party Z
fair chance. We all do. But if it's
program is of such nature that it
breaches the overthrow Of the govern
ment by force instead Of by the law
the essential basis of our government
and Constituticn), then there is no
room for its devotees as working units
of our government.

Io-day's Prize Letter

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The most difficult thing.
by nature, for the American peo-:
pie to do is the most important
thing to which the next admin
istration can give its attentions:
the avoidance of extremes.
On the one hand, we have the
Soviet government of Russia;
on the other, the despotism of
Woodrow Wilson, and both as
sumlng to furnish Ideal de-
msSracy.'
Neither is satisfactory.
Formerly we had numberless
saloons and unlimited whisky.
Now, the farmer may be sent to

Sanity andModeration Urged


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In these troubled times tho
Republican party commits itself to a
policy Of sanity and moderation The
radical rabble which breaches revolu-
ton and practices violence and the
reactionary rascal who a. each pro-
posed progressive step becomes
alarmed and shouts "Treasoni" arc
equally repugnant to US. One would
destroy the editice of our democratic
government and institutions with dyna-
mite; the other would gnaw at their
foundations by abridging the Consti-
tuition given rights of free speech and
representation. The Republican party
has no patience with either element;
moderation and sanity are its guides
