Nor when his first cry pierced her con-

Not when he drew his life, with soft

From her white breast; not in that hour

Nor when a dark day left him fatherless;
Not when she hid from him her hearts

And gave her years to watchful min
But when, man-grown, he brought her

Yet mutely yearning over linn she bore,
She tasted her full cup of motherhood

WILSON RIGHT AGAIN.

Except for the jingoes who want q
| war in which they expect others to dc
| the lighting, President Wilson's mes
sage to congress on the Mexican stu
alton and the policy of this govern
ment towards it, undoubtedly strikes a
| most responsive chord with the great
majority of the body polite. The last
thing that the people of this country
desire is that they be plunged into a
war with. Mexico, or any other nation,
for that matter. There are more i'm
portant things to demand their atten-
ton. They are as Jealous of their ma
tional honor as are the people of any
other land. They can and will fight
when the occasion demands. as his
tory teStifieS. But the SOber-headed
among them. and they predominant.
have never discovered any good rea-
son for spending men and money to
pacify Mexico, and especially when
there is a possibility of another soIu-
ton of the problem.
President Wilson'S statement of the
attitude of his administration is pre-
scented in such moderate and temper
ate words that some have jumped at
the conclusion that it is a weak pro-
nouncement. But that is far from
being the case. 1t is strong and force
full. 1t notifies Huerta and the rebel
lious against him just what righteous
civilization expects of them. They
must either get together or settle their
differences emphatically and promptly.
Furthermore they must give adequate
protection to such Americans and 9TH
er foreigners as cannot get away from
he fry iS I1n x-nj1 cd hJ,4
unmistakable threat that if these con-
ditions be not met, the United States
will feel compelled to move in another
direction, and all Mexicans know
which way that will be, and just what
would be the eventual outcome.
1t is scarcely improbable that Pres
ident Wilson's pronunciamento will
not have the desired effect, and espe-
cially in view of the fact that this ma
tion's stand has the endorsement of
the major powers of Europe, even
those which were so hasty as to recog-
nize the Huerta regime as represent
ing the government of Mexico. When
this important fact has had time to
sink into the heads of Huerta and his
followers and the other disturbers in
Mexico, it must certainly bear fruit.
VI course, the JlngOeS Will Tall anu
rave because President Wilson has not
declared war at once against Mexico,
for that is just what armed interven-
tion would mean. But, generally
speaking. the jingoes are obsessed with
motives as they sound their
call to arms. Prominent among their
are the yellow newspapers in
the big cities which wax rich during
war time by flooding the streets with
special editions that
chiefly recount the activities of their
imaginative war correspondents; the
and dealers in NUM-
tions of war; and the moneyed inter- |
ests of one sort or another that desire !
a free hand in the exploitation of the |
resources of such a land as is Mexico. |
1t is this latter class of jingoes that !
has been making the most noise in !
favor of immediate Intervention in |
Mexico. President Wilson and his adj |
visers have done well in not permit |
ting themselves to be fooled or swayed |
by such selfish interests.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO.
We have failed so far to generate
any sympathy for the Americans who
are suffering down in Mexico. The
Americans in Mexico went there be-
cause they expected to reap a golden
harvest from their less keen neigh
bors. A few of them are trying to do
it by honest methods but the major
ity of the Americans in Mexico are
grafters. They have had several years
in which to pull up their tent stakes
and move back to Gods country and
if they have failed to do so through
greed or any other reason, that is not
the fault of Uncle Sam. We do not
believe that the United States has any
business declaring war with Mexico
Mexico is not worth the lives of our
American boys, the mothers tears ami
the pension list that follows. The mat
ter of honor between the two govern
ments is rubbish. Just bosh. That
sort of thing belongs to the fifteenth
century, when an ambitious squire
went forth with mace and armor to do
some deed in the exaltation of his lady
or in the hope of acquiring q knight
hood. We are civilized. Mexico may
not be, but the people who have gone
there from the United States have not
done so in the advancement of civiliza-
ton. The only laudable reason we
can see for training our guns on Mex
leo is to check an invasion.-Blue

The instance of Carlyle, among writer's
whose personal affairs or health are
shown to have nearly dominated their
writings, is prominent. Carlyle, as is
generally understood, was a dyspeptic,
and the constant agonies of indiges-

philosopher. Without seeming to deny
his gifts it is possible to speculate on
what he might have achieved with a
sound stomach. If Fletcher had come
along and influenced him, would his
French revolution history have been
presented with such a showing of mis-
cry? 1t is almost conceivable that Car
lyle ate something foolishly before he
turned out a page that flashed above
its surroundings. The mans sorrows
were supreme and he couldn't disguise

NEED OF 4 GYMNASIUM

One OF the things that Ocala needs is
a gymnasium with a swimming pool
attached The combination would tend
immensely to better moral and physical
health. Every body has a natural love
for athletic sports, and all who par
take In them influence others to share.
Swimming is a necessary part Of every
boys education, and, especially in this
climate. great aid to comfort and
health.
Mr.. G. w. Hunter, manager of the
Ocala baseball team, in connection with
the team work, is planning for gym
nasium and a swimming pool, a big in
stitution to accommodate all the boys
IN town. He also has an eye to some
thing that will be a great help and adj
vertisement to the city, namely, max
ing Ocala headquarters for one of the
big league teams next winter, as Tam
pa was chosen by the Chicago Cubs
the last one.
This is a big idea and one that de-
serves pushing along for the sake of
both material and moral advancement.
Several OF our leading citizens are
helping Mr.. Hunter in rs plans. and all
approve of them. About the best way
the people in general can help is by
giving good. solid support to the base
ball team, and that means turning out
in force to see them play.
