United States' Southern Policy To realize what a child the United States is at international politics, one has only to visit some of the Spanish-American countries to the south of us. The editor of the Palladium spent over two months last winter in Spanish-American republics in Central America and Cuba, Invariably he found that citizens of the United States in those countries were unwelcome, despised and subject to insults. This was more true in Central America than in Cuba. At the same time citizens of Germany or Great Britain were respected and never subject to insults. The editor was grossly insulted one Sunday by a drunken native. He was urged by friends to pay no attention to the insult as any attempt on his part to punish the native would result in a knife fight. A foreigner in such a case has to use his revolver and that mighty quickly. Furthermore, he was told that even the slightest trouble of that kind would result in his arrest. "And," said his friends," your government will let you rot in a Honduranian jail until kingdom come. It will make no effort to take your part for fear of disturbing cordial relations with the 'little brown brothers.' "Now if you were a German or an Englishman that native would never have dared insult you. He knows his government would punish him for embroiling it with nations that resent the slightest discourtesy to their citizens." St Sfc 3 The whole trouble is that the ex-ward heelers whom we dignify by the term statesmen at Washington, haven't the slightest conception of the Spanish-American temperament. Our policy has always been to pat our.southern neighbors on the back and tell them to be good. They realize our strength and despise us for our policy, for they have no intention of being good unless forced to. j

In the past when differences have appeared between any of these republics and such European powers as Germany or England, a warship of the power involved has appeared on the scene quickly and a correction of a wrong policy soon followed. During a revolution in Honduras in 1911 two negroes were killed. One was a British subject and the other, a little boy, was the son of an American citizen. In three days' time a British warship arrived at Puerto Cortez, Honduras. Its captain was empowered to act for the interests of the slain British citizen. After hearing all the facts in the case the British captain awarded $7,500 damages to the slain negro's family and gave the Honduranian government a week in which to make payment. The damages were promptly paid. The American consul took up the question of the murdered child of the American negro with our state department at Washington. Nothing has ever come of it. Presumably the matter was pigeonholed, lest our "little brown brothers" lose that "cordial" feeling they entertain for citizens of the great United States. Meantime, Europe is plainly indicating that either we must change our supine policy or else expect to see the Monroe doctrine disregarded by such countries as Germany and England which will not permit their citizens in such countries as Mexico, to be murdered and robbed. Americans in Central America told the editor they wished the United States would give up the Monroe doctrine and let some European nations divide up Spanish-America between them and enable its great natural resources to be developed under peaceful conditions.

ers what a spectacle for the gods and the public! This organization is composed of our great "captains of industry," our promoters of "infant industries" and eminent and respectable business men who turn to "philanthropy" in their old age. What a spectacle to see an organization composed of such shining lights handing out gobs of money in hundred thousand lots for the purpose of carrying this state or that; for electing this candidate or defeating that other one ! Why, it's for all the world like common, ordinary political boodling!

SOCIAL CERTAINTIES

The Turning in the Road Our old friend Jim Watson is certainly

ting his" these days. According to Mulhall, the ex-employe of the National Association of Manufacturers, Watson, on the quiet, was for everything labor did not want and against everything labor did want. Running for governor in 1908 on a platform demanding county option and delivering "dry" campaign speeches, Genial Jim was, according to Mulhall, secretly arranging conferences with the brewers' association. It is a long road that has no turning. Richmond people will remember the long and splendid fight Bennett Gordon waged against Mr. Watson when the latter was the representative for this district in congress. Gordon, in those days said some pretty severe things about Watson. He did not hesitate to call black black and white white. Yet all that Gordon ever said is insignificant compared to Mulhall's disclosures. And the National Association of Manufactur-

"I INTRODUCTORY ESSAY" (By H. L. Haywood)

X THE history of the world the doctrine of reform

never had such scope as at this present hour;" so said Emerson in 1S41. Were he living now he would write the same sentence in double capitals.

This is the age of social ferment. Every other man one meets has a scheme for social reconstruction and not to be a rebel is not to be in fashion. Some secret influence has softened our calloused social conscience so that we have come to wince at the sight of the skeleton in our closet. It is not that our age is worse than other eras, it is that we have grown more susceptible. And it is this same moral sensitiveness, so novel in public lite, that ha3 bred the myraid of re

formers who do continually stir us to revolt.

In the face of all this one is moved to say with the British orator, "Let us pause." To rebel, to foment reform, to stir up a social fermentation, these things are well enough, well enough in themselves and in their effects and as a sign of life, but after all may turn out as wind and fury signifying nothing. Merely to strike at an evil, to prohibit a sin, may often eventuate in harm and not in good. Merely to go ahead reforming without reference to the ideal cf the social whole means often more wreckage than salvage. Goethe said, "Men change, but man remains the same." There are in humanity certain fixed laws, certain fundamental principles, which abide through all changes and which ever serve as the unmoving stars according to which the social reformer must shape his course. These are the social certainties, the ignoring of which will often lead the social prophet to wreck the whole of civilization for the sake of an idea. The Germans have a saying about throwing out the baby with the bath and that is just precisely what happens when we set sail on a voyage of reform without guiding our course by the polestars of social development. A reform may be good in itself, but vicious in application. The reformer may often pull the temple of the Phillistines down on the heads of himself and friends as well as the enemy. All of which is to say that he who lines up with the rebels had -best be very sure that his scheme of reconstruction is in harmony with the fixed facts of human nature. These social permanencies are as old as man. They lie at the foundations of the world and were grey with age when man evolved from the brute. As desert sandstorms sweep impotently across the face of the unchanging sphinx, temporary changes, surface revolutions, the rise and fall of dynasties and of civilizations, pass lightly over those things that endure. There they stand, from everlasting to everlasting, unchanging and unmoved, and

it is we who have to adapt ourselves to tnem ana not they to us. There is hunger. Across one-half of all the activities of living creatures from the amoeba up to man may be inscribed this single sentence, "The search for food." An empty belly may upset an empire. A solitary woman walked down the streets of Paris beating a drum and crying "Bread! Bread!" in a doleful voice and it was that cry which precipitated the crash that finally changed France from a nation of Feudalism to one of Capitalism. Let that nation beware in which there are men that work but do not feed. Nemesis is hounding it. Food is the primal need and there is nothing sacred to a hungry man. Any social system which fails to secure a plentiful supply of food is a system that cannot stand though armies back it up. And next to hunger is sex. Food maintains the individual, sex perpetuates the race. Science is only beginning to reveal the determining part which sex plays in society; next to the search for food it is the mightiest factor. In one glowing focal point it gathers up the racial will to live and any system which fails to conform itself to sex's ancient laws will be shriveled as in a flame. Another social certainty is the family. This is undoubtedly a fixture. From the very beginnings of the evolutionary processes the holy trinity of father, mother,

child has served as the cell of which the social organisms is built. History has achieved us no surer result than this that society will survive in proportion as It keeps the family strong. As Walter Bagehot says, "The nations with a thoroughly compacted family system have possessed the earth." Along with these in essentiality goes that other permanency, freedom. Like a tree the human must have room to spread himself and grow. Deny him the privileges of a normal development and your plan for your social system an inevitable decay. He must have the freedom to think; he must have the freedom of' an untrammelled social intercourse; and he cannot live without freedom to obey his conscience. In these and a few others lie the germs of all those social certainties in harmony with which every plan of change must adapt itself. Programs of reform, like captive balloons, are tethered to these enduring realities; they are free to move about within these fixed limits but farther they cannot go. To keep the race true to them is ever the task of statesmanship and all other forms of human guidance. Feeling the truth of all this we have planned to offer a series of studies in these social certainties. Our effort will be to present simply and clearly those things which all must accept and everyone take for granted. Those first principles held clearly in mind an honest and sincere person will seldom go dangerously astray.

Guide

At the Murray. Week of July 14. "Paid in Full."

, Palace. Today the Palace is showing the two-reel Reliance film, "Ashes." This is a very novel and remarkable subject in which Irving Cummins takes the leading role, and presents a man's life from the time he is 21 till he is 51 years of age. Each scene represents one year of a man's life. In this splendid film is used what is called double exposure. The pictures are set in a border of roses, lilacs, lilies and many other pretty flowers, producing a very novel and beautiful effect. With this is shown a Thanhouser comedy, "The Crepe Bonnet," a story of kids, who playing funeral, hang crepe on the mother's door.

Saylea gives a smooth and artistic interpretation of this famous character. Tonight Mr. Sayles and his company will celebrate their one hundredth performance, when a handsome silk program will be given to the patrons. When you stop and consider that Richmond, Ind., is the smallest town in the United States supporting a Irstclass stock company, playing only one bill a week, this is a remarkable record, and one that Mr. Sayles should be proud of. The last matinee of the week will be given tomorrow.

"Brown's in Town." "Brown's in Town," a farce comedy that has made millions laugh, is the offering of the Francis Sayles players at the Murray next week with the usual matinees. Most theatre goers like a good farce comedy. However, good

ones are hard to find, so that is the j reason that Mr. Sayles has selected (this play, as it has always proved to 'be more popular than most of the

farce comedies of nowadays.

whatever guise it may appear, accepts the best of it, and lets the worst of it trouble him very little. The Francis Sayles players will give

"The Man From Home an elaborate production at the Murray theatre tn week of July C$, with the usual mat. inees.

At the Lyric. Three excellent reels were shown yesterday at the Lyric theatre. They were interesting and instructive in every detail. The reel entitled "Through Strife" seemed to elicit much favorable comment.

"Paid in Full." Francis Sayles is surprising even those who know his ability and versatility this week in the part of Jimmy in "Paid in Full at the Murray. Mr.

HEED THE WARNING Many Richmond People Have Done So. When the kidneys are weak they give unmistakable warnings that should not be ignored. By examining the urine and treating the kidneys upon the first sign of disorder, many days of suffering may be saved. Weak kidneys usually expel a dark, ill-smelling urine, full of "brickdust" sediment and painful in passage. Sluggish kidneys often cause a dull pain in the small of the back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feelings and frequent rheumatic twinges. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. There is no better recommended remedy. Richmond people endorse Doan's Kidney Pills. Mrs. George Killen. 502 X. Seventeenth St., Richmond, Ind., says: "We used Doan's Kidney Pills and thev have proven beneficial. They were taken for backache and irregular action of the kidneys and relief was received. I have also used this remedy with good results." For sale by all dealers.; Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. (Advertisement

"The Man From Home." The central character in "The Man From Home," which will be played by Francis Sayles, is an elongated Indiana lawyer. Kokomo is his home, and Pike' his patronymic. He is a namesake of "the tall sycamore of the Wabash," always makes his name known in full Daniel Voorhees Pike and as might be expected of a man with that name, he is, or has been a member of the Hoosier legislature. He is a kindly, droll, shrewd and unassuming old bachelor, ambling through life at a lazy gait, but not without a purpose. He has a sense and character, understands human nature in

THE STARS ARE FOR ME

The stars are for me; the horizon wakes Its pilgrim, chanting; and the little sand Grows musical of hope beneath my feet. The waves that leap to meet my swimming breast Gossip sweet secrets of the light-drenched way, And when the deep throbs of the rising surge Pulse upward with me, and a rain of wings Blurs round the moon's pale place, she stoops to reach Still welcome of bright hands across the wave and sings low, low, globed all in ghostly fire Lost verses from my youth's gold canticle.
