Prior to America’s entrance in the late var this country was subjected to a tremendous for- ign propaganda campaign waged by all the inter- sted European nations. This most recent example vithin the memory of everyone was not the first of- ense, however, upon the part of foreign nations, hrough their representatives in this country, to in- nit olve the United States in ereueed pens or inter- ign! in the domestic policies of this nation. a Fhe tar back as "Thomas Jefierson's administration an ht wort was made to involve the United States in Ecro- @ ean polities. Citizén Genet, a minister to this coun- ty, representing the French Directory sought to em- 6 cere then in a turmoil on account of the French rev- wee Jution. Because he insisted upon making appeels to T& ke people of this country to take sides in European 00 fairs this government asked the French government m& 6 recall him. It was not done, so he was handed his " assports by the United States government and all pre ficial relations with him were stopped. "ta 1In 1805 the Spanish minister to this country at- spy empted to interfere with domestic policies of the vat Inited States and also to influence our foreign rela- Bions. He gave out interviews criticising the adminis- in gation and had published articles in anti-administra- a ion newspapers at that time. He was handed his pass- wh vorts. rec “The next minister who got into trouble represented pec Feat Britain. He had no, sooner landed in this oman: than he began to publish propaganda in criticism os f the administration aaa circularized all British con- Mr als urging them to attempt to create public senti- wa nept in this country against the policies of the admin- sui stration then in power. fer ‘M. Constantine Catacazy, the Russian minister to This country during the administration of General re srant, started propaganda in criticism of this nation’s Pe Slicies in connection with settlement of the Alabama Jaims. He pursued the same tactics as other foreign em “inistegs had in conducting such propaganda—issuing ter iterviews to newspapers, making public speeches and ig senerally attempting to create sentiment against the dom of the policies of the administration then in saisower. He was saved being dismissed by a visit of mi he Grand Duke of Russia to the United States at that iot ime. Upon the departure of the Grand Duke he took PU he Russian minister with him, although the Russian S-overnment had been notified that we would hand im his passports in case this were not done. The next foreign representative to interfere in m\merican domestic affairs was Lord Sackville-West, te3ritish minister to the United States in 1888. Dur- ng the presidential campaign of that year he wrote a etter to an American citizen in criticism of the do- nestic policies of the United States, and especially of fehe action of the Republican Senate, which had re- se ected a treaty that had been formulated between te Janada and the United States. This letter was given te cide publicity in October just before the election. “I rey interfering in domestic affairs of this country and M tempting to lecture American citizens on how they ould vote, he was handed his passports immediately. ne ‘There is rising sentiment in this country at present jarver the action of representatives of some foreign p:-ountries who are now criticising certain domestic — olicies in this country, as well as some of its foreign solicies, and who are appealing to people of their na- ionalities and races to take sides in such a way as to senefit foreign nations rather than to serve America irst. co vit pi KEEPING DEMOCRATIC PARTY DEAD “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick,” is a prov- wb to the truth of which the Democratic party is tdalified to testify. Each special election which has yeen held since March 4, 1921, has been preceded by 1 chorus of Democratic optimism, by outpourings ‘rom Democratic leaders that the election in question vould clearly indicate the rising tide of resentment sgainst the Republican administration and face the) ountry about on its retreat to Democratic rule. But) tach special election has broken the promise of hope hat springs up in the Democratic heart. ‘The first special election to be held after the Re- yublican administration took charge in March, 1921, was that in New Mexico on September 20, 1921.

Democratic publicity mediums invited the whole coun-; try to keep its eye on the special election in this dis- trict and witness the tremendous increase in the Dem- Departments! ocratic vote that would there be recerded. The peo-} ple of the district were represented to be thoroughly cisgusted with the Republican administrtation. When the returns were counted it was found that A. Piatt Andrew, the Republican candidate, had beaten his Democratic opponent by over three to one. The next contest to which Democrats invited popu- lar attention was that recently held in the Third Maine district. Here they were confident of making a splendid showing—so confident, in fact, that the day before the election Democratic leaders predicted the suecess of their candidate, and Democratic papers in New England heralded the prospective results as a re- buke to the Republican party. The Democrats had only a month before carried several city elections in Maine, where the normal majorities were Republican. In addition, there had been wage reductions in sev- eral industrial plants in the district. The Gompers crowd did everything they could to assist the Demo- cratic party by making use of this situation in an ef- fort to line up the working men against the Repub- lican candidate. But here again, when the returns were all in, it was found that the Republicans had carried the district by a larger majority than ever before recorded in that district, with the single exception of the Harding landslide in 1920—a majority which clearly indicated that not only was there no dissatisfaction among the Republicans in the district, but that the people were desirous of a continuation of the Republican control The Iatest wallop given the Democratic band of hat by far-off Hawaii, where in a special elec- tion vacancy in the delegateship to the United § ‘e Republican candidate defeated th unofficial returns show—over j two to one. The successful candidate who will repre- sent Hawaii in the United States Congress is Harry L. Baldwin. His Democratic opponent was Lincoln L. McCandless. Unofficial returns show Baldwin re- ceived 14,112 votes to only 6,258 received by Mc- Candless. This special election in Hawaii was held the same week as the election in the third Maine District. It may or may not be significant, but at least it is inter- | esting, to record that the Third District of Maire is the farthest east territory in the United States which has represenation in Congress, while Hawaii is the farthest west. $2 Se a, WHY THEY FAIL All along the shores are strewn the wrecks of com- mercial] bodies. They are there and they are wrecks because they went beyond the province of activity for which they came into being. Where a commercial or- fanization sets up to run the world it includes more territory than it can cover. And when it buys into every public matter going it is not serving its own or any other interest. It is simply dabbling in back- fence entanglements. When a commercial association confines itself to its own proper sphere and in dignified manner for- wards the interest of its home community as a whole, it develops influence and following; but when its policy is mostly noise and fuss it simply excites the ris- ibilities of those whom it assumes to serve. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce claims the record membership in the United States. It is all in the day’s work for that body to go out and annex 100 square miles of residence addition. It does not waste its energies on outside matters. It pays no attention to national and international affairs and world problems. It does not place too many irons in the fire at one time. And when the irons are hot they are pounded when in that state. The policy is to sell Los Angeles to its own people, the people of the State of California and the people of the rest of the world. There is no other task, That is one reason Los Angeles has grown like a weed. One new industry with a payroll ts a greater mon- ument to a Chamber of Commerce than any reputa- tion it may make for itself fighting for or against any political or moral issue that may arise in the com- munity. oA oe A MISUSED WORD “Psychology has taken a strong hold on the popular imagination,” notes the Milwaukee Sentinel. “The study and practice of this interesting science have spread rapidly and its application to practical, every- cay problems is becoming more general. However, Dr. Mark A. Place, head of the depart- ment of psychology at Syracuse University, is moved to protest against what he terms misuse of the word. “If some of what these self-styled psychologists teach is- psychology,” says Dr. Place indignantly, “then what I teach is something else.” “Whereupon he proceeds to set forth a few of the things placarded as psychology, which he insists should be stripped of that label. Among them he names the study of the mysterious, occult and spooky; psychical research, mind reading, fortune telling, palmistry and observation of the bumps on the head. There is some reason perhaps for a little popular confusion of the science of psychology with occult research and spirit- ism, whose investigators use the term ‘phychic’ and ‘psychical’ without impropriety. They are enough like | the name of Dr. Place’s specialty to excuse the use of the wrong word occasionally. “But, as the professor points out, there are a lot of | Che Casper Daily Cridbune A LITTLE PICKETING ON OUR OWN HOOK "4 Pp BEFORE THe LN ESTABLISHED THE SANSAS COURT Dont You THINK IT'S ASOUT TIME To TRY SOMETHING OF THis KIND 2 re) IWOUSTRIAL QELATIONS THE | ARB STATE.

FRIDAY, March 18.—The British colony of Trinidad is the most southerly of all the West Indian is- lands and is situated close to the east tip of Venezuela. Approaching Trinidad from the north, the ship runs up close to perpendicular cliffs with rounded peaks and from the deck one has a grand view of for- est-covered hills and mountains ris- ing abruptly to a height of 3,100 feet above the line of seething break- ers. All at once the ship comes to the Bocas. There are four of these clefts or passages from the ocean into the Gulf of Paria. The steamer passes through Bocas del Grande. The cliffs on the east side or left- hand are British and on the west side or right-hand, those of Vene- zuela. The Spanish name for these parsages means the dragon's mouth. A unique and picturesque transfor- mation takes place when the ship comes into one of these passages, re- sembling a canyon, shooting through into the still water of the Gulf of Paria. The Gulf of Paria might well be called the Gulf of a Thousand Enchantments. Within the gulf the ship swings toward the east and heads for Port-of-Spain, 15 miles along the coast. It is difficult to imagine a greater picture or fairer sight of a prosper- ous city than is presented by the en- visions of the City of Port-of-Spain as seen from the deck of the ship. Mountains rise abruptly. In the background are cocoa plantations. Growths of palm trees and sugar plantations compose a beautiful land- scape between the mountains and the roadstead. On going ashore at Port-of-Spain, we found much of interest in the cosmopolitan city, and might have imagined we were in Indta, Japan or China, as the population is so varied. Most of the business houses, of course, are things goiny on to which we loosely attached the word psychology which ih reality have nothing to do with| that subject and which, conceivably may create preju- dice against its study and development. “Dr. Place defines psychology as “the study of hu- man nature,” which is a pretty broad generalization and leaves one wishing he had been a little more spe- fic. However, the definition is sufficiently adequate to accentuate the impropriety of using the word in connection with spirit manifestations, palm reading or the feats of vandeville occultists who tell your inmost secrets from the stage if you so much as loan them your handkerchief.” sess ee ee. WHY RIDE UTILITIES? The mental attitude of certain newspapers and quite a number of politicians toward public utilities seems to be—damn the utilities. This has been a contributing factor in bringing about a situation altogether undesirable and entirely detrimental to public service. If one horse politicians and members of public bodies could obtain free transportation, free lights, free water, or free anything else they doubtless would be “fairer” to utilities. But this practice went out, years ago because it was against correct public policy.| ef eat in the United States Senate was involved. Holm There is too great inclination to jump onto public Swe WH? TRINIDAD.REFLECTS PROSPERITY OF TROPIC ISLES BUT EXTREME WARMTH MAKES TRAVELER WILLING TO LEAVE (BY J. E. HANWAY,) British. We met many European and American tourists. When we dropped anchor in the Gulf of Paria, we were 2,552 miles from New York. Coming and going by way of the islands the boat cov- ers 5,104 miles on the trip. Port-of- Spain is the most cosmopolitan city we wave visited. ‘Thirty miles from Port-of-Spain, connected by railroad, is the large town of San Fernando. Many of the Inhabitants of this place are Indians, some aboriginal and some mixed plood; also countless negroes and Asiatic: Near San Fernando is the famous pitch lake “La Brea.” The supply of pitch or asphalt in the lake is apparently inexhaustible as the as- phalt excavated is mysteriously re- placed. More than 170,000,000 square yards of city pavements have been laid in the United States and many miles in other parts of the world with asphalt from this lake. The town of Brighton, a few hours’ ride along the coast, is where the steamers load the asphalt. Oil has been found in Trinidad, and wells are being drilled in num- erous places. Some of the producers are yielding well. Trinidad is 40®by 45 miles in ex- tent and Port-of-Spain has a popula- tion of about 69,000. Port-of-Spain is a lively business town, the streets being crowded with thousands of people of every nation- ality. A great many native East Indians are seen oh the streets dressed in their native costumes of turbans and a piece of cloth wound around their bodies leaving their limbs naked nearly to the hips. Many Chinese and Japanese places of business are in evidence. ‘We found the prices on the same kind of articles such as canes and other novelties that are generally bought by tourists to be from 60 to 100 per cent higher in Port-of-Spain j field surrounded by the most won- than in the other islands, and in or der to buy anything at all reason- able it was necessary to do much bargaining. In one instance a taxi- driver made a price of $2.50 per hour and then tried to collect $4.00 when the trip was finished. In the ladies’ self-help tea room, on the order of the ladies’ exchange in the States, they charged us $2.90 for a lunch that could be purchased at home for $1.25 to $1.50, but we sup- posed the ladies needed the money so paid it and tipped the waitress without a complaint. The market square, where the na- tives sell their products in the Port- ofSpain, was a mixed conglomera- tion of men, women and children of every nationality except the white. Their footsuffs probably were considered clean and wholesome this country, but they would have hard time passing inspection any- where in the States. Some of the Indian women had their arms covered with silver brace- lets and a plece of jewelry set with stones fastened in the left side of their nose which was pierced the same as our ladies’ once pierced their ears. We were told that the gold and silver bracelets worn in this way represented their entire Wealth and that the money acquired was all invested in this way. This is the first city we have vis- ited where they haye saloons (bars as they call them) every few doors. We noticed the Kiondike Bar, the Victoria Bar and a hundred others of like names with the old swing: ing door likr Dinty Moore’s place where Jiggs hangs out: The Savannah, or city park, as we would call it, was a large open derful residenves, including the gov ernor’s mansion.

We did not find nearly so many beggars here. There are two newspapers here, but they don’t seem to get very much news from the States. The only dispatch found in one daily issue was from Washington stating that the senate had voted down the amendment to the Four-Power treaty. Both newspapers are gotten up very crudely, but were well pat ronized by advertisers. If a person could get the natives in the habit of reading the newspapers like in the States I imagine it would be a wonderful field for some up-to-date newspaper man as there are many nice stores and the merchants seem to be quite progressive. They all have their firr. aames in large let- ters on their awnings which is alto- gether different from the French colonies as they use only a very small sign and sumetimes none at all, Tho boat has just sounded the last warning notifying its passengers to come aboard and we are now pre- paring to sail for Bermuda.

We tried to find an alll- gator and a monkey to send to the boys at the office, Sut the alligators seem to be scarce and the monkeys went too high in the trees for us to catch them, The love birds are very popular here, especially with the old maids and the henpecked husbands and wives. I suppose they are natur- ally hankering for something to love. Oh, fudge. We had a lot of fun this morning fishing from the deck.

WEDNESDAY, March 22. -— I learned something today that was not oaly surprising to me, but dem- onstrated the difference in the cost of production with only a few miles difference in the location. I noticed the ship unloading quite a cargo of brown sugar at St. Croix. Upon making inquiry I was informed that the sugar was for local consumption and that it could be shipped from Barbados to St. Croix and sold cheaper than they could make it at home. You understand, that St. Croix is an island of almost exclu- sive sugar plantations. It seems that the wages paid to the natives is the cause for the dif- ference. In the American islands the laborer receives 60 cents per day while in Barbados, which is British, the rate is about a shilling or 25 cents. They have well organized Ia- bor unions in the American islands. steaming hot water.
