SECRETAR Y DA Y'S OPPORTUNITY
During the present war the.re
sponsibiiities of our diplomacy will
be little less onerous than tbosc of
our army and navy. Already the
problems are looming up on tbo hori
zon of European politics, says the
Inter Ocean. The concert of the
powers in the White House, the con
stant fulminations from Vienna and
Paris regarding American aggression,
the studied reticence of the office in
Berlin, and the peculiar notes forth
eoaaing daily from ths Tory organs
of London concerning our greed of
land and power, aie unquestionable
onaens of a troubled future in our
diplomatic relations.
From day to day as the war prc-
ceeds we shall be made to feel the
pressure of European influence. "We
shall receive advice, warning and
protest, and we shall be fortunate if
we do not find ourselves more than
once the object of a menacing state
ment or declaration. Not for an
hour, from the present moment until
the treaty of peace is signed and ex
ecuted, will our -government be al
lowed to forget that the powers of
Middle and western Europe nave
adopted toward us a well-defined
.policy of repression.
And why ? Not besausc'tbey fear,
us dii a .Russian czar, that the
JLarerican factor may become potent
is European politics, nor because
tbey think cur causj unjust and our
interference unwarranted. Such re
mote and immaterial reasons may be
pat forward as motives, but they are
M fact mere excuses. What the Eu
ropean powers really fear is that the
United States, in the elation of vie
lory or in wise provision ngoinst
future annoyance, may take for itself
some piece of territory which they
"themselves covet It requires no
diplomatic astuteness to recognize
this fact Everybody with even a
desultory knowledge of current po
litical literature abroad must per
ceive it.
An American diplomat said a few
years ago: ''Central and Souib
America would be a delightful graz
ing ground for the colonial enthusi
asts of Europe much more so than
Africa or Asia and it is our duty to
.'keep thsm out" We can keep them
out, if to the prorer determination,
we add the possession or control of
Cuba and Porto Rico, thus gaining a
command of tUe Caribbean and the
Gulf of Mexico. All Europe, ex
cept Russia, is bent upon preventing
us from gaining this, command.
'Hence the unsympathetic attitude of
the powers toward us now, and hence
'the omens of remonstrance, advice,
warning aud protest to come as the
war goes on.
The imperative duty of the state
department will be to protect Amer
ican interests for the duration of hos
tilities and to assure them for the
generations that would derive in
creasing prosperity and power from
an advantageous treaty of peace. It
is not an easy duty for an untried
-.nan like the new secretary or state,
hul, if properly discharged, it will
place his name side by side with
Marcy's, Webster's and Seward's in
the Jist of American statesmen who
have preserved America for the
Ae"caM,;ano to me ugliest lace of
' Kuropean diplomacy have presented
tWe ififioiaMe frot of the doctrine
of Monroe.

Sheep marking paint ; ready for use.
Two colors, black and red. Why you
should use our sheep paint. First, be
cause the colors are ground thoroughly
in pure linseed oil by fine machinery ;
second, because it is made of high grade
color, with the proper amount of dryers
gilded to give it binding and lasting
qualities, which prevent it from washing
or rubbing off; third, it is much more
economical, because it is always ready
for nse. We guarantee our sheep mark
ing paints to give satisfaction. Try it
and be convinced. Clarke & Falk,
