STRONG APPROVAL GIVEN OUR FOREIGN POLICY DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT, OF HARVARD, AN INDEPENDENT IN POLITICS, SAYS THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE THE THINGS REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DOING FOR A DOZEN YEARS. Within a few weeks the whole country will be ringing with denunci ation by Republican and Progressive orators of the imissions, short-comings and failures of the Democratic party since it came into power in March, 1913. Inevitably the party has provided the orators with ample ma terial for criticism and reproach. The task which the party and the Presi dent had set themselves was over whelming at best; within the party there were wide differences of opinion about persons and policies; Democrats of large experience in public business were but few; and very grave troubles in and with Mexico early claimed the attention of the administration to the comparative exclusion of some domes tic problems of serious import to the busines interests of the country, such as civil service both at home and in the insular possessions, the crippled railroads, and the industrial warfare. Nevertheless, the achievements of the present administration are extraordi nary in amount and remarkably sig nificant and far-reaching. The princi pal achievements are contributions to sound international policies and con duct. Under the guidance of President Wilson, the United States has been thoroughly committed to non-intervention by force of arms when adven turous American investors in the ter ritory of a foreign state are threaten ed with loss of life, liberty or proper ty on the foreign soil, or have actual ly suffered 6uch losses. American in vestors have gone into Mexico of their own accord and at their own risk, be cause they thought they could make more money by applying their inven tive or constructive power and their capital there than they could at home. The disordered condition of the coun try threatened losses to these enter prising Americans; and the armed in tervention of the United States might 'perhaps have prevented these losses, or at least have avenged them. Influ ential persons, corporations, news papers and public officers urged ve hemently that American troops should at once seize northern Mexico. Presi dent Wilson's administration declined to intervene; brought the exposed Americans out of Mexico in safety; helped the citizens of other countries to leave Mexico, if they desired to do so ; left the care of aliens' properties to Mexicans; and induced European governments to follow the policy of the American. In this patient but persiitent process the President of the United States deliberately aban doned the policy pursued for centuries by Rome and England in their deal ings with weaker foreign countries. The Roman citizen must be safe any where in the Mediterranean world. Great Britain has pursued the seiz ure, indemnity and "punitive expedi tion policy down to the present day. No European nation has ever an nounced or acted on the policy of non intervention on behalf of its endan gered or injured commercial or mis sionary adventurers. The American Republic has had the honor of making first this great contribution to inter national peace and the progress of civilization. It is not the first time, however, that the American government has shown its dislike for the prevailing in demnity policy. The United States took part in the international military expedition to Pekin during the Boxer insurrection and joined its allies in de mandng heavy indemnities from Chi na; but when the American indemnity turned out to be excessive, the excess was returned to China. Again when riots and disorders of various kinds occurred in many parts of China af ter the outbreak of the revolution of 1912 in that country, President Taft ordered the American minister at Pekin to call into Pekin all the Amer ican missionaries and teachers whose lives were endangered, in order that no claims on the Chinese government for indemnities might be established. .The misionaries and teachers came in with great relutance; but they cordi ally supported the view of the Ameri car. &:'.n;in!stratxn that occasions fnr indemnities ought to be avoided, since the payment of indemnities was al ways irritating and often unjust. These incidents were remote and the threatened injuries were comparative ly small. The Wilson administration has applied the doctrine of non-intervention to a disorderly next door neighbor on whose territory large American interests were imperiled. The present national administration has also accepted the mediation of three American republics in a peace ful effort to re-establish good rela tions between itself and Mexico, and to compose the factional fighting in that unhappy country. This effort is in the highest degree creditable to the United States, no matter whether the present mediation be entirely success ful or not. President Wilson has also succeeded in securing: the repeal by Congress of the exemption of American coast-wise vessels from paying tolls on the Pana ma Canal, and on the simple ground that the national honor required that repeal. The achievement of President Wilson by force of his public speech and of his legitimate influence on hon orable men of all parties, has added to the self-respect of the American peo ple, and greatly strengthened their future influence on international at' fairs.; t. The present administration has also 'supported the proposals of President Taft's administration to effect an am icable settlement with the weak and distracted republic of Colombia, in ' spite of the protestations of some members of each of the three politi cal parties that the United States should never express regret for any injury it may have done to a neighbor especially if the injury were inflict ed in an attempt to benefit all man kind and should always be extremely careful not to make an exaggerated reparation, even in cases where some reparation is admittedly due. To be sure, the new treaty with Colombia has not yet been ratified by the Sen ate; but it is a great credit to the na tional administration that it laid such a treaty before the Senate. Taken to gether with the corresponding act ot President Taft's administration, the proposal of this treaty should work a great improvement in the relations of the United States to the Central and South Americain republice rela tions which were seriously disturbed by the act of President Roosevelt's ad ministration on the Isthmus of rana- Two other achievements of Presi dent Wilson's adminfstration have in ternatonal bearings of high import ance namely, the downward revision of the tariff and the establishment of a better currency and banking method in the United States; for both these measures will have great efficacy in the development of that international trade on which the prosperity of the American manufacturing industries clearly depends. The time has long ssed when the domestic market could maintain the large-scale Amer ican manufactures. All the great na tional industries need broad develop ments for their foreign trade, includ ing American agriculture when crops are abundant. For the development of foreign trade three things are nec essary: (1) The abolition of duties on raw materials and foods; (2) the ab olition of protected monopolies, those hot-beds of selfishness, stagnation and inefficiency; and (3) the provision of American banking facilities, both at home and in foreign parts, as sound and flexible as those of European na tions. The Republican administra tions for a dozen years past had been inquiring and talking about these ben eficient measures. The present Dem ocratic administration and Congress achieved them in fourteen months. The means by which these achieve ments have been accomplished are: Frank declaration by the administra tion of its intentions and objects; pub licity through the press about events and persons as soon as the state of the business in hand permits; and di rect appeals to the best thinking and feeling of the American people and its representatives. President Wilson, in particular, has appealed directly to the people on every one of the issues mentioned above, asking on the high est grounds, before Congress had tak en action, for the people's support. Some people believe him to be a reti cent and mentally isolated person; but on every one of these policies he has spoken directly to the people with candor and energy, and with an admi rable confidence in the ultimate intel ligence and fairness of the voters. The fact is that President Wilson's proces in arriving at a decision con cerning the next responsible action is just that of every resolute man who nas tne scentihc habit of mind. While he is making up his mind he seeks all possible information and various ad vice and suggestions; but after he has reached a deliberate conclusion, volun teered advice does not take mimh hnM of him, although fresh information is always welcome. He seems to possess remarKaoie powers of persuasion in inducing others to co-operate with him in that course of action which seems to him wise; but this is persua sion and not the imposition of his opinions. These are great services to the Re public, and they are acomplished facts. To be sure, the political critic or opponent of the administration may easily say: Yes, President Wilson has kept the United States out of a war with Mexico, but with how much less trouble and expense he could have accomplished that desired result if he had recognized Huerta. Or he may say: Can anyone suppose that such disorderly and hopeless government as that of Mexico can continue to ex ist indefinitely on the southern border of the United States ? It is well that war is now postponed; but it must come. Or the critic may say:' How trivial a pretext for armed invasion was the flag incident at Tampk-o, how rash tnu how inconsistent was the forn'We seizure of Vert Cru, how un stable was the conduct of tKe Wash ington administration about the em bargo on munitions of war. To all such queries and speculations of evil, me administration and the Democrat ic party may confidently reply: The accomplished facts speak for them selves; they are all very good, and they prophesy more public good in the future, for they will promote peace, good will and mutually helpful intercourse among ail nations.

On account of the absence of this friend from his summer home, the article did not reach Harpers Weeky for more than a fortnight; and there was then some delay in communicating with me.

Postscript: The sudden invasion of sema by Austria, and of Lux em bourg, Belgium, France and Russian Poland by Germany, without formal declaration of war, and in great force, has proved : conclusively that those two military powers are capable of using the amies they always hold in complete readiness to attack any one of their neighbors without reason or excuse. The peace of the civilized world has been broken by them in the most wanton manner; and the com merce of the world is suddenly inter rupted, in utter disregard of the inter ests and welfare of other nations. Compare these actions of two great military monarchies with the actions of the United States towards Mexico during the past sixteen months. Ev ery American and every Republican MEANEST KIND OF A LIE THAT IS HALF TRUTH Secretary Redfield Shows Up the Ac tion of New York Republican Coun ty Convention Attempting to Set Forth That the New Tariff is Re sponsible for a Debit Balance Against the Nation. Former Senator James P. McKen zie, of North Tonawanda, N. Y. at a recent meeting of the county Repub lican committee at Lockport, N. Y., introduced a resolution which suppos edly had to do with facts and figures bearing on the imports and exports of the country a resolution framed with purpose to "indicate the growth of a debit balance against the people of the United States," under the Democratic tariff. The county com mitteemen naturally thought that Mr. McKenzie's presentmen was correct that what he presented as fact was fact and that his figures were accu rate. But it appears that Mr. McKcnkie's presentment, which had unanimous approval, was altogether incorrect. He appears to have been careless with his pencil. Secretary Wiliam C. Redfield, of the Department of Commerce sent this letter to Mr. McKinzie, calling attention to errors in resolution adop ted by the Republican county commit tee: "July 29, 1914. "My Dear Sir: "In the Niagara Falls Gazette for July 16, you are reported as offering the following resolutions at the meet ing of the Niagara County Republican Committee at Lockport on the 15th instant: " 'Whereas the Government reports of exports and imports show thet the trade balance in favor of the United States of $100,000,000 in October, 1913, has fallen to $50,000,000 in Jan uary, 1914, to $26,000,000 in February 1914, and $5,000,000 in March, 1914, an actual excess of imports over ex ports of $10,271,872, indicating that the trade balance in favor of the United States averaging about five hundred millions of dollars a year under the Dingley tariff and the Payne tariff has been obliterated. " 'And whereas the decrease of ex ports for the month of April, 1914, as against April, 1913, was $37,444,586, and the increase of imports for the increase in exports of 15 per cent, and an increase in imports of 18 per cent indicate the growth of a debit bal ance against the people of the United States, involving the curtailment of American industry and manufactur ing and thereby a loss to the Amer ican farmer and loss to labor through non-employment.' "Since I am sure that you desire to state the facts accurately and would not willingly leave an incorrect im pression, I beg to suggest certain re spects in which the resolutions above quoted are not correct. "It is not the fact that the statis tics of the exports and imports 'indi cate the growth of a debit balance against the people of the United States.' The reverse is true. Your res olutions give the month of April as an exemple. They did not mention the fact that the import excess of 11,339, 544 for the month was followed by a reductio n of the import excess to $2, 476,896 in May, and that this gain was reduced in June to an import ex cess of but $653,522. The tendency, thereiore, tar from being toward a debit balance, is in the opposite direc tion. Furthermore, your resolutions overlooked the fact that the first year of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, five excess or 519,341,578. Any of these facts would have been available to ycur committe on inquiry of this de partment. 'Neither is there complete accuracy in the annual trade balance as treated in your resolutions. That balance, in favor of the United States, for the fis cal year ended June 30, 1910, under the administration of President Taft and that the Payne-Aldrich tariff, to hnd a trade balance in our favor of only $188,037,290; that ended June 30, 1909, the trade balance was but $351,- 090,880 in our favor. The trade bal ance in our favor this year, therefore, is more than double that of the year which followed the enactment of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. "Going back still further in our his tory, it appears that the trade bal ance in our favor for the year ended June 30, 1914, is greater than it was for the fiscal years ended at the same period in 1907, 1905, 1904 and 1903, while it is almost the same as that for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902; and it will be found to be more than double the trade balance in our pendency of the McKinley tariff. There was no time prior to the year i8 when the trade balance in our favor was as large as for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914. "I beg to remain, Yours very truly, (Signed) "Wm. C.

' fche began a few years ago in a very modest way, but now her products are so popular that they can be found nearly every where in the United States, Another woman, in Washington, D. C, has built up a business making chowchow, for which she gets $3.00 a gallon. These are only samples of what hunrdeds of young women have done to earn pin mony by putting up can ned goods at home. People are con tinually dameanding better quality of canned goods and are willing to pay a better price for them. The farmer's daughter who desires to earn pin mon ey may avail herself of this demand and with care and perseverance learn to put up canned goods that she may sell at a profit. Those who are inter ested in Buch a project may obtain de tailed instructions in canning in Far mers' Bulletin 521 of the United States Department of Agriculture, which will be sent free of charge to the applicant. The Bulletin, while encouraging the young woman in her efforts to make a business proposition of putting up fruits and vegetables, cautions against over enthusiasm. It advises that the beginner experiment with a few cans before going too heavily into the pro ject. If the first cans keep well, she may be encouraged to proceed. If she meets with a few failures, perhaps she has overlooked some important detail outlined in the department's bulletin. It is only through failures that one gets good experience, and with a little practice and care in following the di rections any farmer's daughter should be able to put up a satisfactory can of lruit or vegetables. When a young woman has succeed ed in putting up a product satisfacto ry for home use, she may well look around for a market outside the home. The girl who starts out with confi dence in herself will be more likely to find a good market than one who is diffident. Specialize in What You Do Best. The girl with experience in canning knows the products with which she has the most success, and should endeavor to sell only those in which she excells. It is always best to specialize and work up a reputation for some partic ular kind of goods, as did the women already mentioned. One girl may make a feature of catchup, another may find her best product is pickles, while another may put a specially at tractive can of peppers, cauliflower, peaches, apples, or tomatoes. People of means are most likely to want "home-canned" products, and those are the ones to see. Many house wives living in the cities who leave home for the country during the sum mer months will gladly give the far mer's daughter tn order to can enough tomatoes to last them all winter. It is best to take orders ahead as far as possible. The young woman who starts out to sell her products will, of course, dress neatly and take samples of her pro ducts put up in an attractive form. Glass jars will show products much better than tins, but if tins are found to be less expensive, they may be used tor all except the show products. The managers of the best hotels and restaurants in the neighborhood, the stewards of social clubs in the cities, the managers of railroad din ing cars, and many retail grocers will be glad to see the products of the girl who does her canning at home. These products are likely to show individual care and to be prepared neatly of good materials, and on the shelves of a re tail store are likely to attract atten tion from the best customers. If a young woman knows by expe rience that her products are first class she need not hesitate to put a good price on them. Home-canned goods, canned by experienced people, are worth more than ordinary goods, and one need not compete with the other. "Fancy goods" are rarely found upon bargain counters. Even if the first samples of home canning are not such as may be readily sold, they may be used at home, and from her expe rence the farmer's daughter may do better the following season. When she actually succe .., in getting some thing better than the ordinary, she should be able to sell it She may well ask her friends to recommend her to gooa traae. ine young woman sin cerely determined to make a success of canning as a business proposition witn perseverance and care in follow ing instructions should be sure of some measure of success.

PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS HE TAKE THE FIELD FOR HIS PARTY THIS FALL i551TFS STATEMENT ADDRESSED TO CHAIRMAN DOREMUS OF THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE, SAYING HIS PLACE IS "ON THE JOB" IN THE WHITE HOUSE. President Wilson recently announc ed that he would not make a speaking tour during the coming campaign. He declared his intention of "staying on the job" because of the unlooked for international situation. The President made known his in tentions in a letter to Representative Doremus, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee, who had written asking whether he would make a speaking campaign this fall. The correspondence was made public at the White House a few days ago. "America is greater than any par ty," the President wrote. "America cannot properly be served by any man who for a moment meas ures his interest against her advan tage. The time has come for great things. These are days big for destiny for the United States as for the other nations of the world. A little wisdom, a little courage, a little self-forgetful devotion may under God turn that destinv this way or that. Great hearts, great natures, will respond. Even little men will rejoice to be stimulated and guided and set an he roic example. Parties will fare well enoucrh without nursing, if the men who make them up and the men who lead them forget themselves to serve a cause, and set a great people for ward on the path of liberty and peace." WILL TALK fULlUX Despite his determination to make no speeches. Mr. Wilson will "take occasion as opporunity offers, to state. and perhaps re-state, to the country in the clearest and most convincing terms I can command the things which the Democratic party has at tempted to do." The President asked that congress remain to do their work of necessa ry and pressing service and bring it to a successful conclusion.' He said, however, that he saw nothing to keep Congress in session after the emer gency work was finished. The Presidents letter follows: "White House, Sept. 14, 1914. My Dear Mr. Doremus: "I have read your letter of Sep tember 1 with a keen appreciation of its importance. It appeals to me as the leader of the party now in power with peculiar force and persuasive ness. The close of a very extraordi nary session of Congress is at hand, which has, I venture to say, been more fruitful of important legislation of permanent usefulness to the count try than any session of Congress with in the memory of the active public men of our generation. A great con structive program has been carried through for which the country long has waited and has been carried through with the approval and sup port of judicious men of all parties; and we have abundant reason to con gratulate ourselves on the record that has been made during the busy 171 months we have devoted to our great legislative task. Certainly in ordinary circumstances, if we were free to dis engage ourselves for the purpose, we would be warranted now in directing our energies to a great campaign in support or an appeal to the country to give us the encouragement of its endorsement at the autumn elec tions." PLAIN STATEMENT "We could go to the country with a very sincere appeal in which there need be no pretense or boast of any kind, but a plain statement of things actually accepted which ought to be and 1 think would be entirely con vincing. It is a record which shows us at peace with all the world; the questions which plagued business with doubt and uncertainty and weapon- sibie criticism out or the way, thoughtfully settled and disposed of; the apparent antagonism between government and business cleared away and brought to an end with the plain reckoning accomplished; the path for sure footed adjustment clear ahead of us, prosperity sure to come by means which all can approve and appiaud. "However, there is a program of another kind ahead of us to which it is inspiring to look forward to a program free from debate except as to the best means by which to ac complish, what all desire. The great questions immediately ahead of us are tne building up of our merchant-marine with all that means in the devel opment and diversification of our for eign commerce and the systematic conservation and economic use of our national resources, subjects much talked about but little acted upon, There are other pieces of construct ive legislation waiting to be done to which we could turn without any con troversy except as I have said, as to the best ways of doing them. "I believe that ways ean be found to do these things readily enough if the country will give us its generous support and trust us to do them and it will have been a genuine pleasure to me to ask to again be given col leagues such as I have had in the two nouses oi -jongress during the pres ent memorable session, 1 trust there will be many occasions on which I may have the privilege of calling the attention of my fellow countrymen to the fine and unselfish sarvice render ed by the present representatives. ready at all times to respond to any appeal that spoke convincingly of the puoiie weiiare." UNEXPECTED TURN : !"But in view of an unlooked for international duty, our duty has ta ken on an unexpected aspect Ev. ery patriot man now ought to "stay on his job" until" the crisis is ntunl and ought to stay where his job can oest oe aone. we ought to do what- ever is necessary to keep us in close and active concert in order to relieve in every possible way the stress and strain upon our people during the continuance of the present extraordi nary conditions. My job, I know now, ean be done best only if I de vote my whole thought and attention WILL NOT to it and think of nothing but the duties oi tne nour. 1 am not at lib erty and shall not be, so far as I can now see, to turn away from those duties to undertake any kind of polite ical canvasses. "In the present emergency I anr keenly aware of the two-fold respon sibility I am called upon to discharge;, the responsibility which devolves upon me as President of the United States and the responsibility under which I: am laid as leader of a great political' party. Of course, the whole country will expect of me and my own con science will exact of me that I think first of my duties as President The labors of Congress have a natural and customary limit; the work of the houses can be and will be finished;: Congress can adjourn. But the Pres ident, especially in times like these,, cannot turn away from his official work even for a little while. Too much depends on his keeping all the threads: of what is occurring in his hands. "I therefore have reached the con clusion that I cannot in any ordinary sense, take an active part in the ap proaching campaign; that I must re main here to attend to the serious: work sure to fill the months immedi ately before us, months that will car ry with them obligations, no doubt, of the most tremendous sort. I know that you will feel similarly about your own obligations; that members of' Congress, too without distinction as to party affiliations, work of necessary and presing service and bring it to a. successful conclusion. WILL TALK PARTY f "I shall no doubt take occasion, as opportunity offers, to state and per haps re-state to the country in the clearest and most convincing terms I can command, the things which the Democratic party has attempted to do in the settlement of great quest ions, which have for many a long year pressed for solution, and I earn- stly hope that they will generously open their minds to what I may have to say; but I shall not allow my eag ernes to win their approval, or my earnest desire to be granted by their -suffrages the support of another Con gress, to interfere with the daily per formance of my official duties or dis tract my mind from them. The rec ord men make speaks for itself. The - country cannot be deceived concern ing it and will assess it justly. What . it chiefly expects and demands and' what it will certainly be most surely won by is the performance of duty without fear or favor and without re gard to personal consequence. And certainly this is a time when America expects every man to do his- duty without thought of profit or ad vantage to himself. America is great er than any party. America cannot -properly be served by any man, who for a moment measures his interests- against his advantage. The time has come for great things. These are days big with destiny for the United States as for the other nation of the world. A little wisdom, a little courage, a lit tle self-forgetful devotion may under God turn that destiny this way or that. Great hearts, great natures, will respond. fc,ven little men will rejoice to be stimulated and guided and set an heroic example. Parties will fare well enough without nursing if the men who make them up and the men who lead them forget themselves to serve a cause and set a great people forward on the path of liberty and peace. "Cordially and sincerely yours, WOODROW WILSON."" CATO'S RECIPE FOR CURING REAL HAM Virginia Farmer Gives it With Native- Smithfield Trimmings. (Kansas Cty Star.) Now, if Mr. M. P. Cato did live some 2000 ye.rs and more ago, he had an. appetite not far different from that- of any twentieth century statesman who got his first training back on his. father's narrow-acred farm. So it i that Cato felt like writing down some thing about how to cure hams. A Vir ginia farmer has translated what Ca to had to say on this subject in "De Agricultural' This is included in Roman Farm Management," which is- published by McMillan's. After giv ing Cato's instructions, the translator' goes the great Roman one better with some suggestions of his own. Here is what Cato says: "This is the way to cure hams in jars or tubs: When you have bought your hams, trim off the hocks. Take a half peck (semodius) of ground Ro man salt ior each ham. Cover the bottom of the jar or tub with salt and put in a ham, skin down. Cover the whole with salt and put in another- hrr on top, and cover this m the same manner. Be careful that meat does not touch meat So proceed, and when you have packed all the haras,. cover me top wren salt so that no meat can be seen and smooth it out even. When the hams have been in salt five days take them all out with me sait ana re-pacic them, putting those which were at the top at the bottom Cover them in the same way with salt and press them down." nTYFTTHf ATT CM livs o-fnDDrn The first aplication of Sloan's Lin iment goes right to the painful part it penetrates without rubbing it stops the Rheumatic Pains around the iointa and dvm ml i of anH mmfAvf Don't suffer?
