Editorial Comment
U. S. in Role Of Bully.
Lewiston SUM


The ultima tum of President Wilson
to President Huerta is the worst news
since Wilson became President.
The United States is again in the
role of the bully.
This ultimatums is a fit first steI
toward annexation.
If Huerta has the right stuff in him
he will fight Then, If the ultimatun
is anything bu. wind, United States
troops must enter Mexico and Mexican
ports must be blockaded.
The farther our Government goes
the more unacceptable it's obligation Il
maintain order IN the whole territory
of Mexico. To be achieved by bloody
annexation. -
President wilson's high moral atti
tude in his Mobile speech-not to ac
quire an inch of territory-becomes {
mockcry of morality, in a class with
Rooseyelt's big holler about the squar'
deal, the same Roosevelt that gloriet
in telling that he took" Panama. az
The result may be as harmful to- thu
United States as was the Spanish Wa
and the conquest of the philippines
And President Wilson has not the ex
cuse that President Mckinley had, {
public opinion hot for fight. Eagel
to lick somebody-somebody easy t.
lick.

' ton, or lacking fine sense of the ethics

to use the property of others as thougf
lit were their own.A-Biddeford Journal.
True as gospel, neighbor, but have
you not noticed that it is one of the
ma tural processes of elimination? One
of THE most persistent and unregen-
crate thieves of news and editorial
that We have ever known, is gettin'
his'n.s His practice has been to
steal editorials from large out-of-
State papers and transform them into
special dispatches for his own. He
has directed assistants not to credit
special dispatches which they were
INSTRUCTED TO search for and clip from
exchanges. He has had no regard
whatever for another papers best eff
forts and rights. He was never con-
tent to let his readers know that he
was giving them all of the news and
information that his own facilities
provided and was adding thereto the
best that he could find in the services
of his best exchanges. He must ap-
propriate it all to his own private
tag-presumably on the assumption
that his readers were all mutton
heads and would never discover that
his was not the most wonderful paper
of all.
That man IS a self educated and
long -practiced thief. He deserves
what is coming to him, to our mind,
but there are others of a lesser de-
gree of sin: those who take what they
need. because they have neither time
nor facilities for doing better. They
are easily forgiven and their conf
dence in us as an exchange of gener-
Gus friendship is more or less of
compliment. We do not object. We
can stand it II they can. But we wish
to say, right here, that the Bangor
Commercial has stood as a distin-
gushed mark of fairness and honesty
in giving credit to its exchanges. in
Maine newspaper circles. May IT
grow and thrive and its spirit of fair
ness prevail.

Dividends Above Children.


1t seems that with Senator Hoke
Smith and Clark Howell, editor of the
Atlanta Constitution among the
notables comprising the National Child
Labor Committee, Georgia would pro-
vide reasonable safeguards for the
schildren of its poor-but Georgia does
not Apparently Georgians are more
concerned with seeing their factories
make money than with giving boys
and girls chance to make good citi-
zens of themselves During it's re-
cent session the States lawmakins
body turned down two extremely mild
child welfare measures. One of the
bills provided that children should be
sent to school at least four years, from
the age of eight to twelve. The other
forbade the employment of small chill
dren in factories, setting the age limit
at twelve after 1913, at thirteen after
1914, and at fourteen after 1915. Both
bills contained exceptions which az
forded ample opportunities for eva
sion, as is usually the case when such
laws are framed in Southern States.
The Georgia Cotton Manufacturers
Association did not openly oppose the
bills, but still there were not votes
enough to put them on the statute
books A Senator named Spinks, the
president of small cotton mill, de-
clared that he WAS not a member OF
the Georgia Cotton Manufacturers As
ISOLATION that the manufacturers did
not really want am legislation, and
that it was necessary for ten yeaf-old
children to work in cotton mills to
support widowed mothers and in
valid fathers. The attitude of Sena-
tor Spinks seems to be that of large
element of Georgia's voting population.
else the people would elect Legisla-
ture that would pass laws to keep lit
tie boys and girls out of cotton mills
and in school until they have reached
the average stage of physical and
mental development.
