To tlio Editor:
Kvcry time Mr. ltulil f tin? Sun
tfi't into tli-p water in his editorial
controversies with tlie .Mail Tribune
hn charm's V. H. C'linim, 1'orter J.
Xi'fT, Kviiii lieiiines and myself willi
furnibhinir some of tlm ammunition.
While I feel KOinruhnt fintti-rctl by a
elinrie of iiiiiif responsible for the
really bright anil intelligent matter
that adorns the pages of the Mail
Tribune, I must, in jnstiee to its edi
tor, decline responsibility therefor.
1 have inntle two contributions to
the. campaign, one of $10 and the
other un offer to jointly discuss the
issues. You know, Mr. Iluhl, we have
discussed the matter of a joint de
bate, you and I. You said ymi thought
it was all right from the Wilson
htandpolut, which you said was a
sort of u holy-rollor, new Messiah
hysterical issue that made people get
down and roll on the floor, whereas
the Hughes side of the question was a
matter of reason and common sense,
that the people of Jackson county
couldn't understand. You didn't pub
lish that viewpoint, but il is generally
understood that you entertain the old
(itandpat theory that the peo le arc
not fit to govern themselves.
It has been u long time sine you
tried any common sense on the read
ers uf your paper. Four years ago
you came near it when you supported
a progressive platform, but ever since
the war broke out you have been see
ing red. Yon have trie, I to make us
believe that the war was forced onto
(iermauy and that her invasion of
lieliriuiii was a holy and proper mis
sion; you have been building railways
to Mars and nbusing those of us who
hail an honest difference of opinion
ns to the merits of the scheme, and
now you want your readers to be
lieve that we uve all born liars and
thugs. If you don't keep an eye on
the thermometer, first thing you know
your blood will he boiling, too.
I nm n fisherman, and as such don't
allow my blood to boil over occas
ionally being called n liar, hut I do
object to the written appellation by
those who are stone blind, deaf and
dumb mid totally eclipsed with writ
er's cramps when it conies to writing
the truth. Honestly, Hubert, if a
railroad baggageman could see you
handling the truth in politics he'd die
with envy.
Ilon't feel so bad about Jackson
county the worst is vet to eome. You
might help matters a little by sup
pressing that new form of political
blackmail inriicurnted by Mr. Tuozcs:
''Any one registered as a republican
that votes for Wilson is committing
perjury." Say it twice, and say it
slow; you might lay off editorially
on the kaiser's kaiididate, llerr
Hughes, nnd get hack to that inspir
ing thenici of the hyphenates, "Why
did rielgiinn invade the Fatherland V
or, better yet, try a little common
sense on vour renders. Yours truly.

strike oifcr no exception. What the
opposition cum pawners object to, in
eluding repuhiiepu senators and Can
didate if Holies liiiiielt', is not an
averted Mrike, hut the mode of its ac
complishment to wit, by the threat
of n strike with in a time too short for
ilue consideration of necessary legis
lation. Hut twent v-eiL'ht republican
senatorH voted against il there is no
cloture in tlie senate and it filibuster
aauist HI'jfctionnMc legislation us
u recognized senatorial weapon.
Why No Objection
Why did not tlio republican sena
tors resort to it and net all the time
for deliberation they wanted? What
was candidate Huelies doing that, he
did nut make the wires hot with mes
sages to Washington warning
against the law the seventy-four re
publican representatives who voted
for it and urging the twenty-eight re
publican senators to filibuster to the
last ditch?
Hut neither he nor the republican
leaders generally had the nerve to
face the situation. With ample means
in their hands to prevent legislation
until after its due consideration, they
deliberately elected thht it should ftp
pen r to be enacted under 'coercion in
order that, after the great national
deliverance had been effected, they
might object to the mode nf its ac
complishment. A pettier and more ig
noble game of politics never was con
ceived. In comparison and in view of
the sudden and extraordinary exig
ency sprung upon the country, Presi
dent Wilson's course was characteriz
ed by both courage and common
sense.
Takes Measure of Hughes
Finding the ndmiuislrntion's record
of domestic affairs uncommonly dif
ficult of attack, the opposition con
centrates iis energies upon the con
duct of foreign relations. That sub
ject matter being largely in charge of
the president himself, the ordinary
opposition politician naturally resorts
to personalities -and finds such epi
thets as "weak," aeillal ing," "fntii
ims," "insincere," "inconsistent,"
ami "un-Amcricau" only too feeble (o
do justice to his real sentiments.
If more and better were rightly ex
pected of a presidential candidate
taken from the bench of the I'uited
States supreme court, whoever took
that view must have been treated to
u rude awakening.
No sooner wus the nomination as
sured than the robes and ermine of
the judge fell from the candidate as
if by maic, and there appeared in
their place the motley wear of the or
dinary of f ice-seeker a t ransfonna
tion as sudden as that made by the
wnnd of Harlequin in tlie pantomime,
and a transformation showing how
thin is tin-judicial veneer and forever
discrediting tlie United Stales su
preme court as n t mining camp for
high political office.
It must he plain, however, that as
regards the merits of the ndminiMrn
t ion's foreign policy, strictures upon
the personal qualities of the president
I'uunt for very little, if at all. De
tails and minor and iu-dguil ieant fea
tures being omitted, an examination
of its controlling principles ami ob
jects shows, it is believed, that in the
conduct of foreign relations the ad
ministration has kept its rudder true
and has won and deserved the respect
ami gratitude of the country.
Principle? of Policy
These principles and objects have
been :
Kiist -To keep the country out of
the great Kuropeau war.
Second -To insist upon tlie exis.
teuce and vitality of international law
as determiniuti it own status as a
neutral, and defining ii-, rights ami
obligation as such.
Third -To deal with the Mexican
situation in a spirit of perfect fair
ucsn and friendliness to the Mexican
people, ii.nv suffering from civil dis
sension and rewdulion to an extent
which leave- a large part of the coun
try in a Mate of anaichv.
If. ieved on broad line-, the threat
sinis and purposes oi the administra
tion conduct of our foreign relations
aie as jti-t staled, it i- pertinent to
inquire how far thev hae been ac-compli-Mied.
The supreme court can
didate and ceu the iute-t hellieo-e of
his followers will hardly deny that
war ha- ln-cu aertcd and that the
country i- now at peace with all the
world. The ei p let-m i- that our peace
is a pea e is a peace without honor,
and that, it' national honor li.ot been
coii-uHcd, tin- I nil". I Mate- would to
day be lighting.

Hill whitt w.i- a pearcl ul, con phtc-
ly unarmed and neutral nation to do
about the matter? It was in no posi
tion to put up ultimatums or to rat
tle the sabre and to plunge the coun
try into war with ("rriumv would
have been a piece, of insanity sure tu
be followed by national humiliation
and disaster. There was nothing for
il but to proclaim our neutrality, to
be honestly neutral and to be always
insistent upon our rights as a neutral
and upon methods of warfare con
sistent with the dictates of humanity.
Hole of -Neiitial Trying
The role of a neutral in any war is
always most trying. Its interests are
sure to be disregarded by all the bel
ligerents. I )u ring the excitement and
under the pressure of the exigencies
of the fight, no belligerent is likely to
stop to consider neutral claims or
satisfy them, and the more obviously
powerless the neutral through inher
ent weakness or military uuprepared
ness, the surer all accountability will
be nost poned until after the war.
President Wilson is not the only
president who, while quite alive to
wrongs done the country or ii citi
zens, has felt that redress must wait
until it could be enforced ns well as
demanded. The voiue of Lincoln has
lately been much in evidence and ex
presidents and others have not been
averse to finding resemblances be
tween him nnd themselves. Yet, pend
ing the civil war, Lincoln did not go
to war with Kngland over the depre
dations of the confederate cruisers
fitted out in Kngland; nor, pending
the civil war, was Louis Napoleon re
nucstt d to withdraw his soldiers from
Mexico.
In view of the extraordinary diffi
culties of the situation, the adminis
tration is to he credited with a pru
dence and patience which has kept
our naturally warlike people out of
the great Kuropean struggle, as well
as with n diplomacy which has halt
ed, iu part at least, the ip-c of one ol'
the imet barbarous modes of warfare
that even this war has developed.
Nil nation as to Mexico
Perhaps il is not so nun-h our re
lations with Kurope as those with
Mexico that the opposition desires to
hold up to public condemnation. Ap
parently if the views of the opposi
tion had been entertained by the ad
ministration we should now he in
Mexico occupying its territory and its
ports, and, by means of a necessarily
large military force, repressing dis
order and maintaining a strong gm
crumenl of our own creation.
As a practical operation, that
would mean, of course, the conquest
of Mexico, the subjugation of its peo
ple and the making of the country in
effect a possession of the I'uited
States. Our utter unreadiness for
any such adventure is vividly empha
sized by our difficulties in perform
ing what should be the comparatively
simple task of policing our frontier.
Apart, however, from the difficul
ties and the enormous cost in life and
property of such an undertaking, such
a policy of war and conquest i at
complete variance with the principles
and ideals of our constitutional gov
ernment. They require us to admit
that Mexico is entitled to govern her
self; that her people, like the other
peoples of South and Central Amer
ica, are entitled to go through all the
processes ilud experiences necessary
for their education nnd intelligent
participation iu free government;
while the proper role of the United
States is to abstain from interference
itself, to permit no interference from
liny other quarter, and to insure the
solidarity of the two Americas by se
curing for our purposes and policies
the approbation and support of the
La tin-American countries.
I phcUl Inlet mitioiuil l aw
Of these principles the Mexican
jMilicv of the administration has been
founded. Its claim that it has been
correct and just ami in the inierCst
of boih countries, notwithstanding
possible mi-takes as respects particu
lar measures, cannot be reasonably
controverted.
In thus steadily beating aloft the
banner of international law as the
standaid under which all civilized
peoples mihl eventually gather, the
I'nited States has rendered an ines
timable sen ice lo belligerents and
neutrals and to all mankind. It has
forced upon the attention of the world
the truth that the proeress nf the race
depend- upon the supremacy of law.
It- attitude is now lending all civil
ized countrie- to he considering how,
on the close of the war, that suprem
acy ma be re-eMnhhshcfl n prin
ciple and made good in practice by the
application id' such adequate phy-icai
force a may be nece--arv.
Finally, in the conduct of our rela
tions uuh the count tii's of South and
Central America, the administration
has initiated a policy who-e aim and
purpose i- well conceived and well
adapted to modern condition- and requirement-.
That the championship of neut v
rights, a justified by international
law, ha.- bi-en conducted with ureal
ability and zeal bv the present admin
istiation cannot laitlv be questioned,
