No American enn speak with higher authority on the issues of this euiu piiiltu thun Itlelianl Oluey, who was President Cleveland's Attorney Gener al dm :!,; I he riillroail strike of 18U4, mid I'resiileiit Cleveland's Secretary of State when the Venezuelan message was sent to the liiitlsh (iovernment. lie .should know whether President Wilson's uetlou in averting the rail road su ike was a "surrender to force" ; whether the Wilson foreign policy has lieen "tluiiil and vacillating". .Mr. Olney seeks no political prefer ment ; Ids interest is that of a retired statesman, of u wise, experienced, dis passionate patriot, who Is concerned only Willi Hie welfare of his country. -Mr. olney lias written for the .New York World a signed article III which he warns the Ainericun people against the danger sure to result from turning over their ulTairs to Mr. Hughes uud the interests which would dictate his policies, foreign and domestic. Where Was Hughes' Nerve? Discussing the pussage of the Adam sou eight -hour law, Mr. Olney points out that Hie ltepulillcuns of the Senate, if they had really wished more time for couslderulloii of the hill, could have ohtuliied it hy means of a llllhus ter, as a recognized Senatorial wea pon, and adds : "Why did not the Republican Sena tors resort to it and get all the time for deliberation they wanted? What was Candidate Hughes doing that he did not make the wires hot with messages 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? "But neither he nor the Republican leaders generally had the nerve to fact the situation. Willi uuiple menus In their hands to prevent legislation until after Its due consideration, they de llherately elected that It should appear tu tie euaeted under coercion in order that, after the great national deliver ance had lieen effected, they might ohject to the mode of Its accomplish ment. "A pettier and more Ignoble game of politics never was conceived. In com parison, and In view of the sudden and extraordinary exigency sprung upon the country, President Wilson's course was characterized hy both courage uud common sense." Of Candidate I Inches' conduct in the cauipaigii, Mr. Oluey remarks: "No sooner was the nomination as sured than the robes and ermine of the Judge fell from the candidate as if by magic, and there appeared In their place the motley wear of the or dinary office seeker a transforma tion as sudden as that made hy the waud of Harlequin In the pantomime, anil a transformation showing how thin Is the Judicial veneer, and for ever discrediting the Tutted States Supreme Court us a training camp for 1 1 i 1 1 political ollicc." Has Kept Rudder True In 1 1 - conduct ot foreign relations the Wilson Administration. Mr. Olney says, "has kept Its rudder true and lias won nod deserved the respect uud gratitude of the country." The principles ami objects of the Wilson foreign policy as stated hy Mr. oluey have been: First To keep Hie country out of tlie great European wur. Second To insist upon the ex istence and vitality of Interna tional law as determining Its own status us ii neutral, and dellnlng Its rights and obligations lis such. Third To ileal with the Mexl cun situation in a spirit of per fect fairness and friendliness to the Mexican people, uow suffer ing from civil dissensions and revolution to an extent which leaves n large part of the country In a state of anarchy. Mr. Olney shows that nil these ob jects have been attained through the wise, piiilonl and courageous diplo macy of Woodrow Wilson; Hint the President has kept the country ut pence without dishonor; that under his leadership "the I'ntted States lias rendered till llieslliouhle service to belligerents and neutrals and to all mankind" In "steadily hearing aloft the haulier of International law as the standard under which nil civlllr.ed peoples must eventually gather." Mr. Olney finds particular cause to commend President Wilson's Mexican policy. He stands with the President in declaring that Hie Mexicans have the right to work out their own destiny even through revolution. Closing by asking what la likely to happeu If the "Presidential tiller passes Into new huuds," Mr. Oluey says that Hughes' Inducement to change the existing foreign policies of the country will be very great. "The American people can hardly full to real lie the danger and to refuse to put at risk the continuance of foreign policy which, as a wholt, aiust have their hearty approval."

C THE MOST FAMOUS ROAD IN AMERICA Lexington Green in Eastern Massachusetts, where British regulars first fired on American colonists, at tracts hundreds of automobilists each day during the suutner. Here on the 19ih of April, 1775, a regi ment of eight hundred British regulars dispatched from Boston by General Gage to seize stores of ainmu ni'ion supposed to have been hidden in Concord by the colonists, were met by seventy provincials. Fail-1 ing to disperse on command, the patriots were fired on by the British and sixteen of them were killed. , This, the "Batile" of Lexington, fired the country and within a short time an army of sixteen thousand men had gathered about Boston, the first organized defiance of British rule in America. l-'ine State roads lead 10 Lexington from every direction and every road has its historic points and . scenes. Many of the original houses about Lexington Green are still fine residences. The white house seen in the picture is the Harrington homestead at the doorway of which John Harrington who was fatally i wounded when Pitcairn commanded the British to fire on the assembled "rebels," expired at the feet of ; his wife. The road from Boston to Lexington is over the original rouie of I'aul Revere's Ride, "through every! Middlesex village and farm" and from all paris of the country come tourists who react in their minds the stirring scenes of revolutionary times as they glide over perfect roads at speed and comfort never even j dreamed of in those early days of our country's history.

Over this road, now a fine State boulevard, the British regiment marched on the morning ot April lit, 1 5, alter their massacre of the colonists on Lexington Green, to Concord in search of the ammunition hidden there by the Boston colonists. While the British searched for the stores of powder and shot, minute men hastened from the surround ing country. A company ot tnem gatnereu at tne cringe, ami nere Americans ror tne nrst time were ordered to fire on British troops. Defeated at the bridge, the British retreated over the road 10 Lexington. The minute men attacked them from trees, fences, rocks and buildings, the whole distance to Lexington where the British were joined by reinforcements and saved from complete destruction. The British lost two hundred and seventy-three men in their retreat over this road and the colonists, forty nine. This road is now a part of one of the fine Slate boulevards that extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the j New York State boundary and is attractive to tourists from all parts of the country, not only on account of ; its natural scenic beauty, but because of its historic associations as well.
