Worry.

Worry made me drink little and the drink

Latshaw.
If you're going to drink at ALL drink because
you are happy advises the wise Gilbert r..
Chesterton. Don't take your sorrows to the
flowing bowl You can't drown them there;
you will only multiply them.
Worry! 1t Is a terrible thing. But II a man
will meet 1t with moral courage equal to the
physical courage with which he might meet a
physical hurt, he will get the better OF worry
Worry may be lkened to cross dog. 1t Will

bite the man who doesn't run, but 1t most likely
won't; and even If II does it's bite Will not be

The Virginia Primary.

So far known. the result OF Tuesday s
Democratic primary election in Virginia con-
tains surprises. but the unexpected may hap
pen in the race for the nomination for attorney
general when the returns are complete.
1t had been very generally believed, II not
conceded that the old State officers would be
nominated for reelection. No doubt remains as
to the denomination OF Lieutenant Governor
Eyson over Mr.. Machen, or of the renomna-
ton of Commissioner of Agriculture Koiner over
Mr.. Brown. These successful candidates have
defeated their opponents by good majorities.
But the for attorney general lis very close,
ana the official vote may be required to de-
termine who has the nomination. The re-
turns received up to last night give John Gar
land Pollard a lead of more than two thousand
over Judge Samuel w. Williams. incumbent.
There are several counties yet TO hear from
There not contest for the Eubernatorial
nomination Henry c. Stuart already the
nomination was handed to Mr. Stuart on a silver
platter some weeks ago. no man having offered
to oppose him for the honor.
In primary elections everywhere there are
usuealy more candidates who have not
the slightest chance to get away from the
starting post and Tor whose candidates. II Is
diffcult to find explanation or excuse, This
was true of the Virginia primary. Alexander J..
Wedderburn was after the nomination for lieu
tenant governor. while S. Gordon Cumming
wanted the nomination for attorney general
Neither of these could have hoped to cut
respectable figure in the primary. Mr.. We'd
derburn withdrew. but not until after his name
had been printed on the official ballot. 1t will
not take long to count the vote cast for Mr.

UNITED STATES
SHOULD INTERVENE
13-Year-Old SON of John B. Miller,
Of Delaware Township, in
Active Debate.


the Brookville road between Stock
ton and Sandy Ridge, has won con
siderable favorable comment from
the part he took in debate at the
Pennington High School, which he
attends, entitled Resolved, That
United States Should Intervene in
Mexico"
Master Ralph s defamation, in
full is given below:
Honorable judges, fellow class
mates, my most worthy opponents
and visitors as well:
The question for debate to-day
is Resolved that the United States
should intervene in Mexico In
other words, we are met on a small
battle field testing among US whether
this nation or another nation should
interfere with Mexico.
am on the affirmative side of
this debate, and [ most earnestly
hope that by the time | and my
colleague are through speaking,
most all-of our dear hearers
will be on the affirmative side, too. |
have several reasons for my views
upon this subject, and among the
first of them is this :
If we do not interfere with
Mexico, who will? By the Monroe
Doctrine we actually debar any
European nation from interfering
with Mexico, or any other country
directly or indirectly related to
America.
If you look over the Monroe
Doctrine you will find these words:
The United States is free and
independent nation and we shall
consider any attempt of the Euro
pean powers to interfere with us as
dangerous to our peace and safety"
In other words, we almost declare
war in this case with any of the
European nations who take it upon
themselves to interfere with Mexico.
So, again | ask you if the United
States does not interfere with Mexico
who will? Will any one answer me?
No! Why? For the simple reason
you know that the United States is
the only one to interfere with the
Mexican brawl.
Bryan says he thinks the United
States should not interfere because
he is for international peace, and he
asks if it would be peace if we had
a long war with Mexico. Do you
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1913-05-15

and likely to be in for years if we
do not interfere, do you call that
position peaceful? No! not by long
shot.
Bryan thinks that the Mexicans
ardor for war will soon die out
butt say it will not. Why? you ask
for these two reasons: First, because
the Mexicans are descendants OF the
Spanish, descendants of that quick
tempered, ignorant, low Spanish
blood; and second, is their conserva-
tiveness.
One example of their present
conservativeness is their present
system of land tenure. We can
compare with the method called
Feudalism way back in the mediea-
val ages. The poor people, or the
poems are practically slaves, and can
a country live in peace [ ask you
where men are not equal? No! that
question has been proven the world
over.
Among my other reasons is this
We have plenty of cause to declare
war without our present reasons.
Look, dear friends, at the devasata-
ton of America property which has
been caused by the Mexicans. Bands
of Mexicans have crossed line
many times and seven times have
they come in contact with American
relays of soldiers and attacked them
without cause.
Others object to war with Mexico
because they say it would cost too
much. It would not cost much.
Probably not more than a billion
dollars. Why? For this one reason.
Look at the state Mexico is in now:
Anarchy, debt, fear, panic, father
against son, son against father,
brother against brother, friends
against friends, and neighbor against
neighbor.
We could induce one fourth and
maybe one third of the Mexican
population to fight for us against
their own countrymen. Why?-
Because they want war, yet they do
not know what they are fighting.
Show a Mexican peon, a silver half
dollar and we would have him on
our side
The condition of the small provin-
ces of Mexico reminds me of a story
| once read. The story tells about
man who went to dance one
evening and began listening to ghost
stories. The stories worked upon
him so much that he took a revolver
with him when he went to bed.
About the middle of the night he
awoke and thought he saw white
object at the foot of the bed. He
fired before looking a second time,
and alas! he hit his toe. So it is
with Mexico. 1t is so worked up
