TIE NAN OF TIE ROUR.
Is Woodrow wilson Destined TO Become
Another Abraham Lincoln.
BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER, M. c

BY CLYDE H. TAvENNER, M. C.
Washington, March 17.-Wood-
row Wilson. Man of the Hour, has
an opportunity to make himself the
greatest President since Abraham
Lincoln, and to keep the Democratic
party in power for years to come.
This is true not merely because he
is today President of the United
States. There have been other big
men President since Lincoln. 1t is
because Woodrow Wilson realizes
that the one great principal issue
that confronts the republic is not
the tariff issue, the currency issue,
or the trust issue, but the issue of
humanity. Taft did not realize this
hence his failure.
The tariff issue, the currency issue
and the trust issue are simply arith-
metical problems that may be work
ed out, but the issue of humanity is
one of conscience and soul. The
first named issues are business prop
ositions, and concern dividends and
dollars chiefly. while the issue of
humanity refers to human rights,
the protection of women and chill
dren and all those who are being op-
pressed by organized greed.
If the American public will read
Woodrow Wilson's inaugural speech
second time, a better interpreta-
tion of the light that he sees may be
had. No inaugural speech save the
first one of Abraham Lincoln ever
read like it.
eve know our task is to oe no
task Of politics." he says, "but a
task which will search us through
and through. Mems hearts wait
upon US; mems lives hang in the
balance. summon all honest men,
all patriotic, all forward-looking
men, to my side. God helping me.
| will not fail them, if they will but
counsel and sustain mel"
..e..-f { ~ = -l!>rr. >,-IIS-.
1t is an old tradition in congress
sional circles in Washington that a
President must not interfere" with
either branch Of Congress. He may
submit whatever views he may have
on subject, and recommend the
passage of any legislation he may
desire, but after that, according to
tradition, he must sit with hands
folded ard watch legislation which
may be highlg desirable to the peo-
pc, be peacefully chloroformed in
committee and pass into oblivion.
1t is said that Woodrow Wilson is
going to disregard this tradition.
This will be for the public good.
The only ones who will protest will
be those opposed to the progressive
ideas that Woodrow Wilson stands
for.
| The President will be sustained by
popular sentiment. The people,
Republicans as we'll as Democrats,
have for years been demanding a
square deal at the hands of their
public servants in Washington, and
they still demand it. They don't
care whether it comes from a Dem
ocrat or a Republican. they simply
want it. President Woodrow Will
son proposes to give it to them. The
people know full well he will have
to fight. and they will hold up hi;
hands, even should he find it neces
sary, in their interest, to break
down a half dozen traditions!

The newspaper says it expects there
will be speedy landing of troops
at Vera Cruz, but it fears that Presi-
dent Wilson under estimates the mill
tary difficulties in Mexico.
Belief that the policy Of President
Wilson was mistaken is also expressed
by this newspaper, which says that
while General Huerta may be an un-
sympathetic personality, yet he is the
strong man whom Mexico needs
The Vossische Zeitung joins with
the Tageblatt in inferring that only
the oil interests will be pleased over
President Wilson's decision.
The Lokal Anzeiger is more sympa-
thetic, saying it is not surprised that
Washington has become weary of the
comedy played by provisional Presi-
dent Huerta and of the bogus cleo
tons for the presidency"
The Tageliche Rundschau says:

terest in seeing a strong hand finally

to whom the hand belongs, we demand
that it interfere and do it's duty. If
this is not done the United States

PRESIDENT GOES TO
PRINCETON TO VOTE

Washington, Nov. 4.-President Will
son let the Mexican situation simmer
a few hours today while he went to
Princeton to vote. The tension over
this governments ultimatum to Huerta
was not relieved by the president
absence however and just before Mr..
Wilson left the White House he con-
ferred with Secretary Bryan.
All officials here We're consistently
silent over the notice to Huerta to
vacate the provisional presidency of
Mexico and seat no partisan. The un-
derstanding was that the attitude here
is to make no announcements just
now and await the next step.
The greatest interest centered about
Huerta's conference with the Mexico
City diplomatic coHps. AS soon as
Charge O'Shaughnessy had delivered
the latest note Huerta called in the
diplomats but ~ cement was
made of their conference. Z !

his ballot, leave Princeton at 4:20

adherents whom he might be able to
control.
In official quarters here as well as
at the United States embassy, en-
phatic denials were still made today
as to the transmission or receipt of
the communication from the American
government.
A meeting OF the Mexican cabinet,
however, was called for today at Which
it appeared probable that the matter
would come up for discussion.
The only reference to the incident
in the local papers today was that
which occurred in Associated Press
dispatches from Washington. These
when shown to Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
American charge d'affaires, brought
out denial more or less technical,
which was published here in connec-
ton with the dispatches.

The House Leader and
Woman Suffrage

The following is from the Montgom-

The Advertiser is in receipt Of the
following query from a citizen of Ope-

Editor The Advertiser: VIII YOU
please let the people know how Oscar
Underwood stands on woman suffrage !?

]. II. HUTCHANN.
Mr.. Underwood has always taken the
position. he states to the Advertiser,
that whenever the white women of
Alabama want to vote he will lend
ahem his support in securing state
legislation on the subject But last
winter he told a woman suffrage leader
OF national prominence that he would
oppose to the end any legislation by
congress on this question. He is utter

sippi one time. The candidate, q for
mer magistrate, went to the county
seat to make a speech and while there
mischievous gentleman took him to
one side and said: Squire, you know
am your friend, and I am going to
tell you about a report that is being
circulated on you that win ruin You IL
you don't explain yourself. They are
telling 1t that you are opposed to the
aurora borealis, and if you don't cor
rect this. you won't gat any votes The
squire assured his friend that he would
take up the matter. When he spoke
that afternoon the squire was about TO
conclude his speech without reference
to the question he had been asked to
explain, so his friend in the audience
called loudly for him to explain his
position on this important matter. The
squire said:
Fellow citizens I don't know much
about this aurora borealis question; in
fact I had never heard of 1t until 1
came to town today, so I am not pre-
pared to give an answer at this time,
but I'll say this, If the people want it,
I am fer it, and If they don't want It
am ergin it,
According to Mr.. Underwood, if the
ladies of Alabama want the ballot he
els fer it: If they don't want It he is

This is gallant to say the least.

The Useful Hen and
What She Can Do.

On November /, the third year of the
Philadelphia North Americans Inter
national Egg Laying Competition viii
begin. In view of the number of West
Floridians interested in the hen and
the products of the hen, it may be not
aniss to give here some excerpts from
a lengthy editorial appearing in the
North American Of October %. The
American says, in part:
Already the benefits are apparent
The average production of the 500 birds
entered the first year was 153 IL; this
year 1t will approach 156. Last years
prize winning bird laid 254 eggs; this
year the leading pulIet laid 272 in fifty
weeks. Many f1ve-bird pens will show
an average yield of more than 220.
The competitions provide scientific
data as to the best feed, proper hous-
ing and other factors. They establish
the most profitable relation between
cost Of feeding and egg production.
They suggest methods of Matching and
rearing which viii induce the fowls to
lay at those seasons of the year when
production is normally small and prices
are high. And. above all, they lay the
hasis for scientific selection of breed
ing birds, SO that strains having ex-
ceptionally large egg yield may be pro-
duced and fostered.
This is the whole purpose of the test.
1t is based upon the principles of
scientific efficiency and practical econ
omics, the aim being to increase the
productiveness of an important source
of food supply. 1t tends to promote
utility, without which the purest
breeds are nothing more than toys.
Speaking Of the famous English
poultryman, Tom Barron, the North
American says:
From 1906 to 1913 he has been the
unquestioned leader in utility breed
ing. He has produced birds that laid
from $50 to 2SS eggs in twelve months.
pens that have averaged above 240 for
year and SO during six winter
months.
These figures may not be impressive
to the uniformed; their significance is
seen when we note that the average
production of all the hens in the Unit
ed states is hardly more than so eggs
a year. Now, there are approximately
SOC, 600, 600 laying fowl in the country.
their yearly product aggregating 2,000,-
coo, 900 dozen eggs. If, by the adoption
of scientific principles, the average an
nual production were increased only 10
eggs. it would add $40, 600, 900 yearly to
the country's wealth. If the average
could be lifted to I20-half the figure
Barron easily reaches-the yearly in
crease would be worth s1eo.ooo.ooo.
There were some beautiful birds and
fine producers exhibited at the Pensa-
cola Interstate Fair. Perhaps none Of
these birds has ever laid as many as
240 eggs in one year, but the closer
they come to this record, the more ef-
icient they viii be in helping to feed
the cIamoring multitudes who still be-
lieve that ham and eggs is the delec-
table dish-and incidentally help to
pay the butcher and baker.
