Mr.. WILSON'S APOLOGY.
Afraid to Publish What He Said About
Union Labor and Iunmiarsnts.


Union Labor and Immigrants.
The so called Wilson defense bureau
has issued a long statement to the
effect that Woodrow Wilson's publish
ed opinions in his books on the alleged
inferiority of European Immigrant
and American workingmen generally
to the Chinese and favoring Chinese
immigration. etc. have been "misin
terpreted."
There is one ready and complete re-
ply to misinterpretation, and that Is {"
republlsh what Wilson said to let
him speak for himself. This the VII
son defense bureau Of the Democrat
national committee carefully refrains
from doing. and neither Wilson nor his
apologists. therefore, can blame Amer
ican workingmen In general and Euro
pean immigrants In particular for con
Guiding that Wilson meant just what
his language meant when he expressed
his bad opinion OF trades unions and
his preference for Chinese over Euro
peans.

VIEWPOINT OF THE OLD.

Today talked to an old man. who
said:
''The older grow the more despond-
ent become. have outgrown my be-
lief In the goodness Of people and
things. We older folk have learned
what is the cruelty Of fate. Happiness
Is no more than a beautiful dream"
Poor old nan: felt sorry for him.
Disillusioned and unhappy. his frame
Of mind Is that Of permanent pessi-
mism!
However. he Is an exception.
Most old people whom I know are
serene and cheerful. The years have
taught them that the law Of compensa-
ton holds. II 1t should be cloudy to-
day. why--somorrow the sun may be
shining. Knowing they must not ex-
pect too much. they can smile In the
face Of disappointment
They have learned that both ecstasy
and sorrow are short lived.
Looking backward over their lives.
these elder people come to realize that
while childhood and youth have their
joys, they also have their griefs.
For instance: II the child enjoys
keenly. 1t suffers intensely Made
happy by a trinket. It is made miser-
able by a trife. One may remember
that in his childhood the refusal to
be permitted to go on a picnic made
life seem scarcely worth the living.
To the old person sensibility has been
dulled. He is calm and unruffied by
trivial things.
And as for youth. II its joys are eager
Joys, fits sufferings are acute. 1t is the
young who despair and commit suicide
There is no shield of experience to
interpose between youth and sorrow.
The old man smiles at that which
gives to the young man an agony Of
spirit The old man knows.
The youth Is apt to be impatient
intolerant and exacting. The old have
learned patience and charity and for
giveness Is 1t to be doubted which
has the happier frame Of mind1
And fear? The old have listened to
the preaching Of many dire prophecies
that have never come true. Again and
again have they heard the awful crash
Of the presaging storm die out betimes
into the mere rumble. succeeded by the
patter of the gentle rain. Why should
they be disturbed at the lowering
cloudsl
Yes, my friend is the exception.
Most old peOple have come TO know
that things In this world are not all
bad and not all good. but are good. bad
and indifferent-and mostly good.
Soothing the spirit with the belief in
the ultimate outcome Of the good. they
trust and hope unto the perfect day.

to their wishes II no is to accomplish
anything. No one man, however force
full and alert he may be. can by his
own acts solve the problems that
must be Immediately solved. He
must have the support and conf
dcnce of his party. Wilson is bound
to hear the wishes OF the party lead
ers Of the old time Democratic party,
In return for their support. That is
the only way things can be done
where many people are interested.
Iammany Hall and Mr.. Murphy are
still powerful. Whatever Mr.. Wilson
may be personally he is bound to rep
resent the principles OF the men
who support him In his work and
placed him In office. Those men are
not the men whose Interpretation as

room for choice between the three
great parties.
Not the Individual Candidate
Nor from the standpoint OF per-
sonal merit and integrity Is there
a great difference in choice OF the
men who represent these parties.
All three men are OF the highest
type Of American citizenship. Each
OF them has In large measure the
same high ideals Of government. Each
OF them is willing to honestly serve
the people.
The Interpretation Of a Phrase
The ideals Of the party candidate
and party platform will not give one
a choice In this campaign. The choice
Is determined by matters that are
more vital to the people. 1t is the
Interpretation as to just who "the
PEOPLE" are whose interests are to be
looked after, and the ability and
the executive power OF the man 10
carry out the will OF the people that
must determine tho choice.
Whoever the man is that can do
things for the people. whoever 1t is
that can bring to pass things that
will bring home to every citizen ad-
vantages which only a government
can give, that man. II he is great
enough to Remember that "the people,
includes every citizen rich or poor,
individual or corporation. all put to-

ASHURST GETS
LONG TERM

Washington, April 2. The
Arizona and New Mexico senat-
ors were sworn in at 2:10 p. m,
today. The credentials Of the
New Mexico senators were pre-
sented by Senators Warren of
Wyoming and Smith of Michi-
gan, and those of Arizona bv Se-
nators Shively of Indiana, and
Culberson of Texas. Senators
CatrOn and Ashurst were chosen
to serve until 1917. Fall until
1913, and Smith until 1915.
The senate today became a
body of ninetv-six members with
Senator's Ashurst and Smith of
Arizona, and Catron and Fall of
New Mexico taking the oath.
On the dais in front of the vice
presidents desk two ballot boxes
were drafted for the lottery de
termining the lengths of the re-
spectlve senatorial terms Each
box contained a blank and
numbered slip. the Arizona sena-
tors drawing alphabetically i'll
order from one box and the New
Mexicans from the other. The
one drawing No. / in each case
will serve until March 3, 1917.
In seperate box were placed
papers numbered 2 and 3, which
the remaining senator's drew,
No. 2 to serve until March 3,
1915, and No. 3 to serve March
8. 1913.
Senator Catron thinks the
prize number 3 might prove the
luckiest, because the term would
expire during the same session
Of the legislature that elected the
senator's at this time, thus pos
sibly insuring the return of the
sa ne man for full term of six
years.

WINSLOW WILL HAVE
M0QUI SNAKE DANCE

Have you ever seen the Moqui
Indian Snake Dance? Probably
you have heard of it, etc, but
yon will be able to see it, realis-
tic in every detail, the coming
month ofAugust at the Frontier
celebration right here in Win
slow.
Ever since the Pioneer celebra-
tion last year the promoters OF
the last year affair have been
negotiating with the Indian au-
thorites and the Indians to have
their religious ceremoney in
Winslow at the celebration and
after a years pursuading and
inducing the Indians finally a
greed that they would have their
regular Snake Dance here in
Winslow instead OF at the re-
servation. There were many
Indians here at our last celebra
t1on and the treatment they re-
ceived at the hands of the COM
mittees and judges, and the
many cash prizes they carried off
was one big inducement for
them to come and help US cele-
brate this year and also have
