Our sires met with sword and gun;
We clasp hands with each other
But, though the wrongs are worn away,
There still are wreaths to Irvine
For them that suffered in the fray
For your dear land and mine
The scars are healed upon the trees
That felt the shock of battle;
The ruts are smoothed upon the leas
Where Craze the peaceful cattle.
Oh, let the tattered emblems go!
Give back each flag and token
That tells of brave hearts plunged in woe
And knightly spirits broken.
But ever while brave hearts beat true
And sun and stars shall shine
Fresh laurels for the heroes who
Saved your proud land and mine!

GAMBIA is INDIGNANT
"Do They Think We Are Boxers
Here in Mexco?"

MEXICO CITY, MEX.-Trains for
Vera Cruz are crowded with Ameri-
cans who are needing President Will
sons warning to leave the country.
The Mexican foreign Office has not
been officially informed of Washing
tons warning, according to the for
eign minister, who said that if it was
true eve must, with all due respect to
the president of the United States,
say that we think he has acted prema-
turely" Senior Gamboa continued:
'Do they think we are boxers here
in Mexico? Have you seen mobs
chasing Americans through the
streets or any unfriendly manifesto
lions even by the people of the lower
class? We have four or five hundred
thousand Mexicans in the United
States. We have made no suggestion
to them to return in the belief that
they might be lynched.
81 am told that boats are coming to
the ports to take off the Americans.
If the Americans were perishing in
this country l could see why boats
would come to take their bodies, but
see no reason for them to come now
Even in case of intervention | think
that Americans would be safe. Dur
ing French intervention Frenchmen
came and went at will and were not
molested."

Many Wrecks on the Road.
The enormous number of wrecks on
the New Haven road led recently to
a government inquiry, the United
States commerce commission finding
that the system, under the manage
ment of former President Mellen, was
so neglected as to become a menace
to the travelling public.
The report, which was submitted af-
ter an investigation covering a period
of more than one year, declared that
the company had squandered its
money on outside" enterprises to the
general neglect of it's own lines. Ow-
ing to public pressure President Mel

scarcity of labor and of the growing dlslnclin-
alton Of men to work with their hands, and
their increasing desire to utilize their brains
rather than their muscles. While this has its
disadvantages from the employers point OF
view, it indicates the higher development OF the
brain power Of the American people. It would
therefore seem to be q pity to engage IN any
radical and destructive legislation that would
suddenly overthrow these vast interests that
have been built up during this half century.
At the same time we heartily join with those
who believe in individual development and are
firmly opposed to those who believe in combine
tons and in the suppression Of competition.
The old adage thai competition IS the life OF
trade is Just as true today as It was fifty years
age, but when great capitalists and ingenious
men combined az against the rest OF the couil-
trv chen they have reached the limit which de-
mands the suppression OF such combinations.
As q rule the men Of the East are rather
more conservative in political matters than are
the men Of the West, no matter to what polite
81 party they may belong. Every observer
knows chat there is & very considerable dltfer-
ence between the Democrats Of New York and
New England and the Democrats OF Missouri,
Oklahoma and Texas, The Democrats Of Ohio,
indiana and illinois are Of & different complex
ion, coming in intermediately as they do, De-
tween these other Democrats whose character
istics are detesmined in degree by their loca~
ton. We believe that therefore we may feel
comparatively safe in the hands of the Eastern
Democracy, now represented by President
Woodrow Wilson, We shall hope to find in him
o man Of great ability, q believer in individual
ism and the development Of the individual man
and the maintenance OF all his rights as nearly
as can be done and maintain organized govern
ment. Trained in our youth into beliefs in gen.
aine democracy and practiclng it all our lives,
we congratulate the country upon its success in
bringing The American people once again under
the control Of that great democratic party which
represents The principles that have made pos
sible the building up OF this great country with
its hundred millions of people Of a higher in
telligence than ever reached previously in the
