in their articles dealing with Mexican
questions.
Yet he did not terminate the inter-
view without making the trial-his
usual trial. Because of the white
house custom ! am not permitted to
quote his exact words. But he gave
the reporters to understand that the
newspapers are making it very hard
for the administration to deal with
Mexico. The sensational, jingoistic
headlines not only excite the Ameri-
can people and appeal to the worst
side of their nature, but the distor-
tions and the surmises of the report
ers, raw boys some of them, and the
pure "war fakes" are telegraphed
promptly to Mexico to create further
excitement and little more hatred
in an already excited country.
1t is a pity that this is true--that
newspaper owners will assist the
spread of inflammatory rumor and
guess. 1t is not usually the fault of
the reporter His writing reflects the
wish of his employer. And SO, to get
the "good story" he draws founda-
tionless conclusions, he snatches a
straw and with it predicts the temp
est, or he resorts to that contempt
able thing, the out-and-out fake.
Happily almost wrote unhap-

American people declare war; 1t is

Newspapers Are
Not Helping Case

By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE presi-
dent was weary the other morning
when he met the Washington news
paper correspondents in the regular
weekly meeting he holds with them.
The lines on his face showed that the
responsibilities of the office are
weighing on him. He was pallid,
tired. His answers to questions lack
ed the play of humor that character
lied his informal utterances when he
first entered the white house.
He knew in advance the questions
that would spring first. Mexico. 1t
has been the theme of these white
house meetings for months. And the
questions were sanguinary, warlke.
Had Huerta sent to the powers
note of defiance of the United States?
Had Lind prepared to break off all
diplomatic relations? War! War!
War! How soon? That was the un-
spoken, but apparent, eagerness be-
hind most of the questions.
The president answered all patient
ly. He knew of no note. Lind is
merely the medium for communica-
tion-he is laying down ultimate. But
the president by his manner showed
he realized the futility of trying to

crowd are sometimes easily excited,
yielding to war hysteria. AS Champ
Clark said the other day, the United
States has been the aggressor in get
ting into every one of its foreign
wars. And no one knows better than
the president the effect in mob
psychology of this continent, hypnotic
repetition of the tocsin of war with
Mexico. 1t puts the nation into
frame of mind ready to be aroused to
fury by some act that might other
wise result merely in diplomatic
incident.
Do those who are writing news that
makes the presidents task difficult,
do those who own the newspapers
which print these articles, know what
war means? Aside from the fact that
it would set back for years the grow
ing movement for "the new freedom"
aside from the wound war would give
to the nations ideals, aside from the
cost in money, war is a terrible curse
to a nation.
Speaker Clark said that an invasion
of Mexico would cost $4,000 American
lives-American boys lives, for wars
are fought by boys. One of the 25,-
900 might be your boy, reader, or
your sisters boy or your daughters
boy. Are you willing that your boy
shall pay with his life for the desire
of few large city newspaper owners,
and the Standard Oil Company, and
big business in general, that the Unit
ed States gratuitously seek war with
Mexico?

HOUSEHOLD HINTS


If the soup is too salty, add a few
slices Of raw potatoes and cook a lit
tle longer. The potato will absorb the
surplus salt.
When making apple jelly, put rose
geranium leaf in the bottom of each
glass before pouring in the jelly. It
will impart delicious flavor.
When running dates, figs or raisins
through the chopper, add few drops
OF lemon juice to prevent the fruit
from cloggng the chopper.
1t is good idea when cleaning milk
utensils TO add a pinch of borax to
TIE water. This keeps them sweet and
clean.
To make salmon sandwiches squeeze
a little lemon over the fish, add salt
and pepper. a we'll beaten egg and
melted butter. then stir the mixture

Before washing soiled handkerchiefs
allow them to soak in cold water into
