lBy WOODROW wilson IN Coiuer > NeeA'9}
In looking forward to the re-
sponsibilities | am about to
assume | feel, first last, and all
the time, that / am acting in a
representative capacity. Some
men have been slow to observe,
but the majority Of us
have seen that the peo-
pie of the United States have
expressed a definite choice. !
am one of the instruments
through whom that choice is to
be exercised, but | am for the
time, and that choice is for the
long future. The American peo-
pie have turned their faces in a
definite direction, and any party,
any man who does not go with
them in that direction they
will reject, and they ought to
reject.
| am hidden to interpret as well
as | can the purpose of the peo-
pie of the Unitad States, and to
act, in so far as my purpose
determines the action, through
the instrumentality of persons
who likewise represent that
choice. ! have no latitude IN the
matter. My sacred honor is in
volved, and nothing more could
be at stake. Therefore | shall
not be acting in a partisan spirit
when | nominate progressives
and only progressiyes. shall be
acting as a representative OF the
people of this great country.
It is a supreme pleasure to me
to find in every direction, as |
turn from one group to another,
that mems minds and mems
consciences and mems purposes
are yielding to that great impulse
that now moves this nation as a
whole. Therefore / do not an
ticipate any serious divisions of
council in the Democratic party
as a national body. Indeed, |
find in it every evidence of
soliderity. 1t is led by men who
are absolutely free to do what
they have promised to do and
who realize that the very life of
the party depends on it's living
up to it's pledges. Our party has
been trusted by the voters of the
country, and it is going to redeem
this trust with performance.
The Democratic party now
stands or falls as it redeems or
does not redeem the pledges it
has made to the voters of the
United States. We the people, !"
as the Constitution begins, are
about to see whether or not We
own our own Government, and if
the men who have been put in
office go back on the people now,
|, for one, hope that they will be
publicly execrated for the rest of
history and held up to the con-
tempt of mankind.
But / may reiterate what |
have already said; that the bust
ness future of this country does
not depend upon the Govern
/ ment of the United States. 1t
depends upon the business men
Of the United States. This nation
is full of honorable men who
have carried on large commercial
enterprises in a manner sane
toned both by their consciences
and their Interpretation of the
laws. But they have had their
eyes so closed to their ledgers,
have had their energies so
absorbed in the undertakings
with which they were individually
identified, that they have not
seen how the things they were
doing stood related to the fortunes
of mankind until the nation spoke
in a loud voice. Now they are
beginning to see their relation
ship. The hope of America is in
the changing attitude of the
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1913-03-13

/
business men of America declare
themselves willing to husband
and to administer, as if for
others as well as for their own
profit, the natural resoursces of
the country, it will be immensely
difficult to devise a process OF
general use.
Raw materials, in the second
place, indigenous to this country
must be at the disposal Of every
body in the United States upon
equal terms. By'this / do not
mean that the Government must
determine the price and terms up
on which they are to be available,
but that there shall be no discrimi-
nation among those who are to
have access to these resources.
Analogous to open ways to raw
materials, and necessary thereto,
is the third thing to be done.
The credit Of this country must
be put at the disposal of every
body upon the same terms. Not
only that, but credit must be
made available with equal readi-
ness to everybody. This must
be seen to by the bankers and
the men who have the credit of
| this country in their control.
This they must do, not alone for
| the good of all but for their own
advantage, because until it is
| done the banking interests can
not expect to enjoy the confidence
of the country and to have the
problems peculiar to their bust
ness settled in an unprecedented
temper.
| Further, and as the fourth OF
our general purposes, we must
| see to it that the business of the
/ United States is set absolutely
| free of every form of monopoly.
There was a time and it will
come again when this country
was able ito take care of itself.
| The United States will be album
| dainty able to take care Of itself
when it's energies are fully
realized, and no man is afraid Of
any other man; when one person
has the same right and the
same opportunity to conduct an
| independent business that every
other Individual has; when every
man knows that the business
community is open for him to
enter and that he will be welcome.
Then there will come a season of
prosperity in this country never
| known or dreamed of-but not
until then. I reiterate; you can
not have prosperity personally
| conducted.
4 Some people have the idea that
| love a fight for the fun of it.
| A friend of mine told me that
| reminded him of a Highlander S
dog. The dog was looking very
detected one day, and his owner
was asked what was the matter
with him. He said: HE can
nae JUS get eneuch O. fechten'. y
He was not able to find any dog
that would give him satisfaction.
i But, really, that is not in the
least my temperament. am by
nature very tame, an amenable
person, but | do love to feel in
my blood the splendid thrill OF
fighting for something, something
that is bigger than myself, and
trying, for the time at least tc
: think I'm as big as the thing
am fighting for. There is in that
, solid satisfaction.
I believe that majority of the
American people are to-day say
! ing something like this: "We

dent. In both offices he made arepu-
tation which caused him to be Sc
lected in 1904 as Mr.. Roosevets COM
panion on the Republican national
ticket. He was balanced as a con-
servative against Mr.. Roosevelt rat
ed radical; and an appeal was then
perfected for the support of both the
wings of the party.
In the office of vice-President, Mr..
Fairbanks did not change. Ne went
in and came out conservative.
There was no break with MIR. Roose-
welt. But the two men did not draw
together, and in 1905 MIR. Roosevelt
preferred Mr.. Taft to Mr.. Fairbanks
for the leadership that he, Roose-
welt, was giving up. Had Mr.. Roose-
welt supported Mr.. Fairbanks at Chi
cago that year, the latter would have
been nominated and elected Presi-
dent.
Since 1905 Indiana has twice gone
Democratic. Two Republican sena-
tors have given place to two Demo-
cratic senators. Mr.. Marshall, on the
strength of one election as governor,
is now Vice-President. A Democrat
has succeeded Mr.. Marshall as gov
ernor.
When Mr.. Fairbanks speaks for
harmony, therefore, he knows from
the lack of it at home just what
the party has lost and what is neces-
sary to restore the lost article. Unit
ed, the party in Indiana stood. Di-
vided, it fell II is still divided. and
while that condition remains the de-
mocracy will have no trouble retain
ing power.
Mr.. Fairbanks offers no plans of
procedure looking to union. He reads
nobody out of the party, and would
probably laugh at any attempt to
read him out. He simply announces
faith in the essential soundness of
the old organization, and a hope that
it will again become the dominant
influence in our national life. The
message from so high source is
worthy of attention.-Maysville Pub

Is it because teachers fall into me-
chanical, monotonous ruts of teaching
and perform their work in a manner
so school-hke and so little school
Like that it never occurs to the pu-
pill that what he learns has any con-
nection with or application to the
things that occur in everyday life?
Here We think is the trouble, and in
this We should reform. Let each
teacher make his work more and more
practical; let him strive to lift his
pupils from their unthinking, unprac-
tical methods of study; let him give
them matter for thought upon the
simple, common things around them;
let him endeavor to create an inter-
est in their minds upon the subjects
discussed by older people of the CON-
munityy; let him be always on the
alert concerning current events, so
that he may, not only for his own
great benefit, but for his pupils,
let themknOw that there is something
)gadng on all the time in the outside
world; and soon we shall have a race
Of children in our schools who will
know more at the age Of IL of what

Talk about a paper having a pub

OF 1,100 cases of removal from

Marked progress in Alabama high
