Exerclae of Poliee Tower.

It goes without aaying that there arecountries where governments are mere

shells. and the exercising of pohcepower on the part of the I'nited StatesBomatimea becomes necessary in themamtenanee of civilization and protec¬tion of lif.* and property. Thrre is lit¬tle doubt, however, thnt in years goneby there wrre times when we were al-togather t(«o free in following themonarchial fashion of using power in-discriminately, on the theory that"might was right." Influenccs broughtto bear through the press for manyyears kept nlive re.entment of thesepeoples against us for some of theha-'y things our government did farfrom home, without any unders'anding jon the part of our own citizcna ofwhat vi.. really behind the actiontaken. It is very common in South andCentral American countries for news-

papers to be owned by European in-terests. In some cases it is nn opensecret that Kuropean governmentstinance these journalistic ente.-prises,maintaining them for the express pur-p,,se of aidlng the development of theirown commerce and pr.imoting their >.wn

political schemes. TheRe journuls loseno opportunity to misrepresent the peo¬pie of the I'nited States. Fur years thenews printed in some of these papersconcerning American events was of themost misleading character. This isatill true. but to a much less extentthan some years ago. On the otherhand, in every one of the importantcountries there are great newspaperscontrolled by their own citizens, whichare not only entirely fair in their at¬titude toward the I'n'ited States, but ex-

tremely cordial and anxious to r.romotecooperation ifl every way. These news¬

papers represent the very highest kindof journahsm. There are none in theUnited States or anywhere eise su-

perior to them in equipment for deal¬ing with news events and in the char¬acter of their editorial staffs. Theywield a tremendous influence, and theynre doing more to-day ir, advancing thecommon ideals of democracy and co-

operation between the countries ofNorth and South America than anyother single force. This, with the factthat the leading South American coun¬tries were invited to cooperate with us

in a frank and friendly way in tryingto secure a settlement of the Mexicanquestion, has almost completcly elimi-nated the feeling of suspicion towardus in South America.

Danrer in Situation.

Right now, however, there is dangerof a revival of the unfriendly scntimentof former years because of the per-1formar.ces of inexperienced businesshouses seeking to extend their trade.There has been a rush, on the part ofrepresentatives of a comparatively fewhouses as if to a new Ll I»orado. Withthe impetuosity of amateurs, a lot ofsalesmen from the I'nited Statesswooped down on some of the leading;countries a year ago, bent on capturing:their trade by storm. Many of themwere unable to speak the language, butdid business through intcrpreters.Some of them were working on commis-sion wholiy. Thev made all kmds eflpromises which they could not keep,aad prices which were unwarranted. Inall too many cases their attitude didnot stimulate admiration, but the SouthAmerican merchants needed the goodsand were willing to try a few experi-ments. The salesman passed on aftersend'ng his orders home; then rame

demands on the customer by cable fora deposit of cash in New York beforetha consignment would be shipped, oran annguncement that the price of thegoods had changed ar.d they could notbe delivered at the figure made by therepresentative. In other instances, de-1livery was promised on certain dates,and purchasera were even advised thatthe goods had been delivered on ship-board, but the merehaDdise did notcome as per._jdv.ee, or it did not appearfor weeks after it had been promised.It must be remembered that all thesaincidents represented bnt a small partof our commerce. They were unusual,but there have been enough of themin the last ten months to seriously7) reaten the further development ofTapidly increasing good will. Theblame for much of this sort of thingrests lar<rely with irresponsible houses,but there are others of good a.anding,whose management of their export do-partments is indicative of the denaestigriorance.

Need of Combinatlon./ If CongTess passes the recommrndn-tion of our Federal Trade Commission.permitting the combination of smallmanufacturers in developing the;r busi-ness abroad. it is Jikelv to have aneffect on this situation which has notbeen anticipated. Well organiz.d com-

binations of this sort are able, becauseof their financial resources. to employtirst class men, and intelligent organi-zations will prevent depredations by ir-responsiblo adventurers, for they mustplan for a perman§nt place in the fieldand protect business standing and rep-utafion at all hazards.Aside from this much needed reform,

the time has come when the peopie ofthe I'nited States must consider more

rntirallv the kind of ministers andother public servants it sends out intoIhe world. It is dangerous, not onlyto our foreign commerce, but to our

peace to place in such positions incom-petents with a large capacity for stir-

ring up nnnecessarv trouble. Mereagain, I am not drawing a general in-dictment against our representativeaabroad. The great majority of themare gentlemen of capacity and skill.oespite the feeling* that are often madeat the "shirt-sleeve" diplomacy of theI'nited States. In the main, the veryonenness and frnnkness of our meth-|ods ia dealing with questions abroadbring far better reaolta than the indi-rection and duplicity, whirh eharaeter-ize the negotiations of many "trained"-iiplomats. Most of our representa¬tives are entitled to our earnest admir¬ation and aupport and, incidentally,they need dcrent houses to live in, r«v-

spectable quarters in which to do busi¬ness a.id other facilitics they Iack to¬day. Tremendous improvements havebeen made in our service in thetwenty years, but there "are still plentyof weak spots which need attention,for th_ rharurter of our governmentoAciall abroad is a verv great factorIfl maintaimng rig-ht relation* with thepeopie of the countries to which theyare accredited, and the question as towhether a peopie is friendly or un¬friendly toward us is really a vervbig element in the development of ourcommerce and inv._,tmeuts with them.

POLITICAL BOSSPRAISED AT LAST

Old System Brought ManyMen of Fame Into' F>ublic Life.

I was in college when tha righteousuprising against the political bosseswas at its height, and even we collegeboys felt and shared in the universalpassion, says a writer in "Leshe's."We uprose and abolished our bosses,also.

I eama out of college to find thesame proceases at work in the realworld, and they have now been longenough at work so that we can beginto measure their results. We have wonthe direct primary. the Presidentialprimary, in some states the initiativeand referendum and the recall; we aie

promised woman suffrage, and I re¬cently read the proposal of an earncstuplifter thut children, also, be grantedthe vote. Ar.d the question is, now thatwe have taken our government out ofthe hands of our representatives andIpread it thinly about in our own, whathnve been the net results in our publicaffairs ?

Well simply hinting at the obviousones and leaving the re«t to your imag-inatiou we have for one thing HenryFord as a candidate for President.Henry Ford, who has not voted in manyyears. in certain states in the MiddleWest we have had Presidential pri-maries costing thousands of dollara inwhich no single real candidate for theI'residency appeared on the ballot.Po you suppose that we should ever

have got Daniel Webster or Henry<'lay or Flihu Koot into the I'nitedStates Senate under a direct primarysystem? Would Webst.r surrender a

princely law practice to scramhle forthe Senate against any Tom, IMck orHarry, who by manufacturing an auto¬mobile or a pair of shoes had got hisname and face familiar to the readersof bill-board advertising? I think not

I remember very well my talk withthe bosg of the legislative district ina Middle Western state where I usedto live. I was being urged to run foithe I-egislature and I wanted to knowwhether J should have his support.He leaned back in his chair and emittedthis profound bit of political philnso-phy. "My rule is to pick the very bestmen for the offlee I can get then thepeopie have no kick." He did it, too,Our representatives were able men.They had to be, or the boss wouldnever have earried through his ticket.

To be sure, he got his. Put we g*otgood representative* for our part. Theboss system was very corrupt and verybad, but le' aa *,i4'e it its due. It didgive us Lincoln and Calhoun and Web-.ter an.l Rooaevelt and thanks topoor old Jim Smith, of New Jersey l,Woo.lrow Wilson.Any man who can read the names

that onre adorned our Congressionallists, and than ran go to Washingtonand nit in the Senate or House galleryfor an hour and come away without a

feeling of sickness and utter depres-sion has a stronger stomnch and heartthan I.

Having said these few kind words forthe old boss system, we have said allthat can be said. We cannot turn harkthe rlork. No man who really loves hiscountry would ask for a return to theold corrupt, boss-ri.l.len days. Hut is

there not a solution somewhere be¬tween the boss system and the presentchaos? Can we not have pnrty gov-rrnir_ent Ifl this rountrv that wili bereally representative of the best thenation boasts ?

MOVIESBREAKINGOURNICKELBANKSSunday School Teachers

Notice Drop in TheirReceipts.

"Since the opening of the nickelmovies, the little banks which former¬ly held the small savings of the young-tt members of families have dwindleduntil they are a thing of the past,"says a writer in "American Magaiine."Sunday school teachers iay that themovies have much to do with decreaaesin Sunday school treasuries."The ternptation to indulge the child

when it asks for a nickel is too greatfor some parents. The money is givenfreely hence the child comes to re-gnrd a nickel of small consequence. Allof the money which the child earns, orwhich is given to it, is spent for shows,frcquently without the parents' knowl-edge. A careful watch on three chil-dren, members of a family in moderatecircumstances, dependent upon an in-come of $95 a month, revealed the factthat in a week the three children spent$1.95 for moving picture shows and ice-rream cones. The youngest of the threechildren is hut five years old. Figur-ing that the same amount is spent eachweek for a year, the total would be$101.40. If that amount were savedfor the tmallest child until it was

ready for higher education, the numwould far exceed the amoant usuallyspent for the college education of theboy or girl of moderate habits.

"If a child is taught that the moneygiven to it must be kept for a usefulpurpose, it will soon learn to be a ju-dicious spender."
