President Emp Fan-An Addressing Scientific Congre States' Attitude as One o Unity Among Republics ?A athington, Jan. 6.?The United Slates government's Pan-American policy was detailed by President Wilson in an address before the s.-cond Pan-American Scientific congress. He explained the proposal submitted to South and Central American diplomats here last week by Secretary Lansing as a basis for an effective agreement between all the republics of t'ne western hemisphere "not only for international peace of Ameica but the domestic peace of America.'* This program, as outlined by the president, proposes that all the American nations shall co-operate in guaranteeing to each other absolute independence and territorial integrity. Agree to handle all disputes arising among them by patient, impartial investigation and to settle them by arbitration. "These are ivery practical suggestions." said the president, "and I for my part believe that they are going to lead the world to something tha: America has practiced for many a generation." Not Enough for Tliem. He said the Monroe doctrine always had been and always would be maintained by the United States on its own authority but that the doctrine did not disclose what attitude the United States would assume towards other nations of the hemisphere and consequently the other nations had been distrustful of it. -L J J.-L. _ T<o. Applause greeted iue ?n traiucn<- o a v, marks. Eduardo Suaretz Mujica, ambassador of Chile and president of the congress, introduced Mr. Wilson as a statesman who has radically changed t%e nature of the relations of the i-.c^'cs of this continent and has built mutual ei.'em and cc-operation. at this .?erv moment praised and applauded by the whole continent. Domicio da Gama, ambassador 01 Brazil, translated Ambassador Suarez's introductory remarks into Spanish amidst applause from the Latin-Americans. Mrs. Wilson made, her first public appearance in Washington tonight as the president's wife. With. Miss Margaret Wilson she occupied a box almost over the spreaker's platform. After expressing regret at his inability to be p;esei:t to greet the congress at its opening session the president said: At L si Drawing Together. ""I have been told so much about | the proceedings of this congress that I feel that I can congratulate you 0:1 the increasing sense of comradeship and intimate intercourse which has ? marked its sessions from day to day; and it is a very happy circumstance in our view that this, perhaps the most vital and successful of the meetings of this congress, should have occurred in the capital of our own coun* * # Tno drawins: together of irj. ^ ?w the Americans has long been dreamed of ai.d desirjd. It is a matter of peculiar gratification, therefore, to see this great thing happen: to see the Americas drawing together and not drawing together upon any insubstantial foundation of mere sentiI xnent. fter all. even friendship must be based upon a perception of common sympathies, of common interest, of I common ideals and of common pur-' poses.

I <*'<Bnt, ladies and gentlemen, our i thought can not pause at thp artificial I "boundaries of the fields of science and L of commerce. All boundaries that di^ ^vide life into sections and interests -11 - ?

For nothing stirs passion like political disj turbance, and passion is the enemy of ' truth. "These things were realized with peculiar vividness ana said witn unusual eloquence in a recent conference held in this city for the purpose j of considering the financial relations between the two continents of Ameri ca. * * * A financial cong-:ess natj urally led to all the inferences of politics. For politics I conceive to be " - " - - _ _ 1? 1L nothing more tnan tne science 01 uie ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself. "The conference to which I have referred marked the consciousness of the two Americas that economically they are very dependent upon ane another, that they have a great deal that it is very desirable they should ex- j * " ?:ii. ~ * "U ^ change ana snare wuu uu? auuLuci, that they have kept unnaturally and unfortunately separated and apart when they should manifest an obvious community of interest; and the object of that conference was to ascertain the practical means by which the commercial and political intercourse of the two continents could be quickened and facilitated. And where events move, statesmen, if they be not indifferent, be not asleep, must trunk and act. * * * The Keal In sis. "But these gentlemen have not conferred without realizing that back of all the material community of interest of which I have spoken there lies and must lie a community of political interest. I have been told a very interesting: fact?I hope it :s true?that while txiis congress has been discuss ing science it has been in spite of itself led into the feeling that behind rhe science there was some influence with regard to politics, and that if the Americas were to be united in though: they must in some degree sympathetically be united in action. Wnat these statesmen who have, been conferring from month to month in Washington I have come to realize is that back of the ' ommunity of material interest there is a community of political interest. "I hope I can make c7ear to you in what si-nse I use those words. I do not mean a mere parine;sliip in the things that are expedient. I mean what I was trying to indicate a few moments j ago, that you can not separate politics i from these things, thaf you can not hav? real intercourse of any kind amidst political jealousies, which is only another way of saying you can not ccmmune unless you are friends, and that friendship is based upon your political relations with each oi:her, perhaps more than upon any other kind of relationship between nations. "If nations are politically suspicious; of one another all their intercourse is j ?mbarrassed. iThe object of American statesmanship on the two continents is, to ?e? to it that "American friendship :s founded on a rock. "The Mon'oe doctrine was pro-' claimed by the United States on her own authority. It always has been maintained and always will be mainlined upon her own responsibility. But t'n? Monroe doctrine demanded merely that European governments should not attempt to extend their political system to this side of the Atlantic. It did not disclose the use which the Tni'ed States intended to make of her power on this side of the Atlantic.

The States of America have not been certain what the United States would do with her power. This doubt must be removed. | "And latterly there has been a ivery j frank interchange of views between j the authorities in /Washington and those who represented the other states of this hemisphere, an interchange of views charming and hopeful, because based upon an increasingIv sure appreciation of the spirit in | which they were undertaken. These gerticmen have seen that if America ris to come ::;to "her own, into her legitimate c^n. in a world of peace and order, she musr establish the foundations of am!ty so that no one will hereafter doubt them.

"You see what our thought is, gen-; tlemen, not only the innational peace j of America, but the domestic peace ol i America.

The question of the object of a country paper is one that is answered in th. minds of arious people accord-j ing to their respective views, and the J views of many of them are necessarily j influenced by their respective inter-; ests or environments. ! i Seme people tiiink that the country | newspaper is printed for the benefit! of advertisers. Some think that the I promotion of the private political in-! terests of individuals or a particular! corection of individuals is the reason. : Some think that the country m-wspa.per should have no other end than the promotion of business interests, and others think it should devote itself to booming the town in which it is printed. There are so many different ideas on the subject that it is impossible to mention them all. These remarks are suggested by an incident that occurred in the business office of this paper a few days ago. The story is suggestive of "shop," and really is somewhat al'ong that line; but it will bear telling anyway, even without names. A traveling man. representative of a well known advertising concern, camej in to talk about making a contract He had about him a self-sufficient air that seemed to give out the impression that he felt that the editor should take off his hat and look humble. Indeed,' iiis attitude seemed to suggest the 'simile of a fellow holding up a piece of beef for a dog to jump at. the. editor being the dog. If he had the faintest realization that he was on a business mission, it seemed to be his special effort to keep the fact concealed. "What do you g:^t for advertising space by rhe inch?" lie asked. "Depends upon how much you want, how frequently you want it, and .mont' f "i tv* n o vaii txtq nt if 11V/W LUlCIIIJ XiJUItO J \J U II Ulll. it tu>.v. vvu, "Oh, I just want this little ad, that takes up about 3 inches. It is all eleC' trotyped, and you won't have asy type to set. How much for a mont'n?" "One dollar an inch for the first insertion, and 50 cents an inch for each subsequent insertion." "Whoopee! I do not want to buy your paper. I will pay no such price as that." "The paper is not for sale. You were not asked to pay tne price, iou askea what tfce price was and you were told; that's all." "Why, 1 got t'nat ad in the paper ever at . for $2.40, and the paper at did not charge me but $1.25." "We are not running those papers." "But the editor of the said he had 3,400 circulation. What is yours?" "Someihing over 2,000." "And you want to charge me five times as much as he does when he has so much more circulation?" "I have already told you that T am not running the , and as for circulation, I would not give you the space you ask for at any less rate if my circulation was only 1,000." "And you mean to tell me that you ^Vio^i-DTtkore 1 iVA cuarse <111 ^oui uiun au>vi ? that?" "For the same service I do; but most of them make t'neir contracts by the year, and get the lowest rate we have to offer." "How much for this by the year?" '"Three inches twice-a-week, one year, $45. If you find anybody who has gotten it for less we will give it to you for nothing." "But I do not want mine for more than a month." . "WelK if you rake it you will have to pay tile- rate for a month." "Suppose 1 would take it for a year, wou'd you give me top of column, next to reading matter?" "Xo, run of advertising columns, with no special position guaranteed." "Say, brother, you do not print your paper for advertisers, do you?" This with an implied taunt that seemed to say, "You've got to come down out of that perch, or you don't get any busi ness out of me." "Yes, and no." was the reply of the editor. "Yes, in the sense that you would have me believe that you want to pay for this advertisement purely to swell my personal bank account and without regard to the business you hope to get. Xo, in the sense that I realize that unless I make my paper worth while to my readers, you would not regard my advertising space as worth the price you are willing to pay for it, much less the price I have quoted you." I "And you say you do not count circulation?" "On the contrary, I count it very much. I count it everything, both, to you and me; but when I say circulation, I mean circulation. I mean the people who think enough of the Enquirer to want to read it. Most of them show tneir appreciation by their will ingness to pay for it.
