BEFOULING THE AMERICAN
 NEST.

There has been said by partisan writer patriotic support is due only to patriotic service" and it seems that he Is impressed win the idea that he has formulated a striking epigram in rebuke to one who pleaded for loyalty to country and against the dispersal of the nation al energies in partisan warfare. Perhaps it is, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, but not in any general sense as ii is applied to the exist ing situation. Our present troubles arise from the difference of opinion as to what constitutes patriotic serv- ice. These differences are numer- ous and varied Hence the epigram merely becomes platitude.
 There exists, however, occasion to rebuke the little Americans who feverishly clutch from foreign sources the insults. the deprecia- tions and the assaults. upon this country and give them approval and wide publicity, thinking thereby that they are improving certain projects of their own devising. For their benefit and correction there are two ancient sayings that should be quoted. The one is: "1t is q dirty bird that befouis its own nest" and the other the famous ut terance of Decatur: My country. may she ever be right. but, right or wrong, my country" ~.-.
 Whatever is wrong in American affairs can be attended to by the political parties and their master, public opinion. When the advice of aliens is needed. it will be request ed. Meanwhile loyal citizens should be spared the castigation and abuse of jaundiced foreigners whose mo- tives are subject to challenge and whose intentions lack honor. House keepers in this land have harsh way of handling those who track mud upon their clean floors. It j: the remedy that should be applied to these scandal-mongering politi clans and doctrinaires who hope tc rise through disparaging their owr people.

COMPANY HAS
 MONEY TROUBLE ON COAST

The Salt Sea Fisheries, a new concern which recently started busi- ness at Port Wells, is in financial difficulties owing to its president, Harold Butterworth, decamping with S12,000 worth of securities and cash, says a report from Valdez. The po- lice have been unable to locate him.
 The Salt Sea Fisheries sent up a boat and crew about two months ago to prepare for the fishing sea- son, and the vessel and outfit have been at Valdez for some time wait ing to hear from the company. Captain Reynolds, who brought the Brookdale up from the States, has been in the hospital the past six weeks, suffering from broken knee cap, and the big launch has been under the command of Captain James Klock. A lien has been placed on the vessel by several Valdez creditors, but 1t is understood that but s2,000 has been paid on the boat and that title rests in the origi-
 nal owner.

TRADE WITH SIBERIA
 :.:. HAS BRIGHT OUTLOOK

4 big increase in trade between Nome and the Siberian coast this summer Is predicted by Seward pen insula tradesmen who are cognizant of the outlook. This view is based on the volume of orders already placed with local and Outside busi- ness houses for Siberian delivery on the opening of navigation. Accord ing to E. L. Holt, 100 tons of mer- chandise destined for Siberia will arrive on the first boat alone.
 Last year the value of Nome shipments to the Siberian coast ran we'll into the hundreds of tons, and would have been greatly exceeded
 but for the disarrangement of Out side boat schedules resulting from
 the withdrawal of the steamship Sen
 ator from the Nome-Seattle run.
 ! 4 number of citizens of Nome have been taking lessons in Russian
 so as to be able to converse more ! freely with the Russians on the Si-
 berian side and thereby promote closer trade relations.

IGNORANT AMERICANS.

After visiting various parts of the United States and lecturing at several American universities. Ale ,iandro Bunge, director general Of statistics in Argentina and one of the Argentine representatives at the Pan-American Financial congress, returned to Buenos Aires, aston ;shed that so little is known in the United States about his country.
 The idea is still generally preva- lent among North Americans, he says, that Argentina is inhabited by half-breeds, negroes, and Indians.

A he stood at the clerks desk in
L n the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives on the evening of April 2,
1917, President Wilson was the central
figure in one of the great moments of
world history. Not only his own people
but mankind stopped to listen.
The president had been reelected
only five months before because che
kept us out of the war" Alas, the
war would not keep out of the United
States.
The war took on new fury, with the
resumption of ruthless summarizing,
which Germany had modified the year
before at our demand. The president
thereupon handed the German ambas-
sador his passports, and next he pro-
posed that we should arm our mer-

to the presidency stranger to pubic
men, and no president can make new
friends--real friends.
His reelection was one of the big
surprises of our presidential elections.
For several hours after the polls
closed he appeared to have been badly
beaten, and Hughes went TO bed with
the assurance that he was president
elect.
After all the great industrial states
which had decided the elections in the
past, except Ohio, had sent in reports
of Republican victories, the tide was
turned by the far West, which had
been almost forgotten in the reckon
ing, but where the conservative inter-
ests had less influence. At last the
returns from remote hamlets in the
Sierras gave California to the presi-
dent by less than 1000 plurality. He
had lost all but two of the northern
states east of the Missouri. and yet
won by carrying all but two of the
states west of that river. where the
women voters are supposed to have
rallied to him because 'he kept us out

ate failing to give him this authority,
he proceeded himself to arm them. But
shipping vanished from the sea, with
it's hidden terror, and at last he called
the newly elected congress in extraor-
binary session to receive cOmmun1-
cation-concerning grave matters Of
national policy"
No other president in the whole
course of his service has had to make
so many momentOus decisions as
Woodrow Wilson has had to make in
the solitude of his study at the White
House in those anxious days before
the assembling of congress. He could
not divide the burden of such heavy
responsibility he had to bear 1t alone
and without a precedent to guide him.
Should we give further trial to
armed neutrality? Or should we en-
ter upon an independent naval war
fare against the submarine menace to
our shipping? Or should we back the
allies with money and supplies. but
leave them to do the fighting? Or
should we join forces with them unre-
servedly contrary to the historic pol
lev of America to go it alone?
Those alternatives were in every
mind in that jbewildering period, and
the president had to choose between
them in framing the policy to be sub
mitted to congress. He made the
holder choice of going into full part
nership with the entente allies, pool
ing with them all our resources, our
man power, our money power and our
producing power.
The broad plan which he unfolded
and which congress. quickly approved
assured in advance the success of the
great, unparalleled undertaking, and
he pushed it through to victory with
grim unrelenting persistence. Ameri-
cans generally assumed at the start,
and the British government agreed
with them. that we should not have
70 send a great army to Europe, If in
deed any at all. But when it became
an imperative necessity to go at
double quick to the relief of the bro
ken line in France, the foundation was
4
so well laid that we rose to the I'M
foreseen emergency, building up in a

the Atlantic.

"A FTER Woodrow wilson had been
| < n teaching in the classroom for
| quarter of a century that the presi-
dent ought to be more like prime
minister, trying to cooperate with
| other human beings" than "a mere
department hailing congress
| from some isolated island of author
ity," the opportunity came to him to
| put his theory in practice. When con-
| gress met in extra session a month
after his Inauguration he walked in
and delivered his message in person,
| reviving a custom which Jefferson .had
| stopped only because he happened TO
have a poor voice and was an awk-
| ward speaker
President Wilson adopted the atti-
| tude of sort of member at large OF
both houses, sauntering unheralded
| into the seldom-used presidents room,
| which adioins the senate chamber,
| whenever he had any special business,
| and talking things over in the open.
ia The president succeeded not by
aisNlsing a personal loyalty to himself
but by the force of his ideas. Il have
had a majority on the floor, but" he
admitted, never majority In the
clOakroom.' g.
Here are the outstanding items in
the peace record of the Wilson adj
ministration: Tariff revision, the first
income tax, the federal reserve act,
the federal trade commission, the
Clayton trust law, 80 arbitration trea-
ties, the seaman's act, the farm loan,
the repeal of Panama tolls, the ship
ping act. the child labor law, the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies and
federal aid for good roads.
The federal reserve law Is pOten-
TALLY as great piece of constructive
legislation as any that has been en-
acted in this country. We were abso-
lutely without financial system, and
the money of the nation was in the
irresponsible control of a few big
banks in New York.
Every attempt to remedy this situa-
ton had failed because private finan-
cial interests naturally wished to keep
their control of the money. The Aid
rich bill in the Taft administration
proposed to give the sanction of law
to this private domination, but con-
gress refused to pass it.
The federal reserve act simply re-
versed the Aldrich plan and gave the
nation, through the government, the
control of it's own money
President Wilson was the relentless
driving force that pushed through the
federal reserve bill and the rest of the
legislative program.
The electric spark was omitted from
President Wilson'S composition, and
this omission denied him flowing
communication with his fellows, nat
ural limitation which was confirmed
by the life he had led until he was
suddenly thrust into the hurry burly
of politics.

II the king did all he might do with

can dissolve and summon parliament;

point bishops, governors and judges

is an unwritten law of common sense,
fortified by long usage. which makes it
unthinkahle that the king should 90
these things; and in the last resort,
which is never likely TO occur, the
king, being a constitutional monarch,
reigns by the will of the people, and
could be deposed by act of parliament.
