Wilson Administration
Fulfills Promises

Washington, ID. C.-Where is
the man who said that Wilson's
foreign policy was a failure and
grape juice" diplomacy a joker
lie was making a loud noise
few months ago, but he is Cypress.
lively silent just now.
With the nations of Europe tear
ing at each others throats and
millions of men preparing to kill
or MAIN millions of other men
whom they have never seen and
who never did them an injury, it is
a great satisfaction to know that
the Princeton schoolmaster is in
the White House and the Nebraska
commoner in the state department.
We know we will have peace
with honor so long as they hold
the reins.
Suppose we had listened to the
jingoes who wanted us to throw an
army into Mexico to protect the
mines of Guggenheim and the
ranches of Hearst, wouldn't we be
in pretty pickle now? Yet for
more than a year Wilson and Bryan
were abused as few public men
have been villified in the history
of this nation because they would
not yield to the clamor of the
greedy conspirators who were will
ing to sacrifice 10000 American
lives in order that their question
able investments might be made
profitable Time has vindicated
both men.
The presidents enemies fear that
the European war will have an
effect on this falls elections. They
are afraid that the attacks they
made on Wilson diplomacy may
act as boomerangs and return to
smite them. Their fears are IN
doubtedly well founded. The peo-
pie are not likely to entrust the
control of congress to men who
openly avowed their desire to
plunge the country into a needless
and costly war. 1t is a bad time
for the lingo to raise his political
lightning rod. The chances are it
will be hit.
PATRIOTISM OF TRUSTS.
President Wilson has directed
the attorney general and the secre-
tary of commerce to investigate
the amazing increase in the price
of the necessaries of life which has
taken place within the last two or
three weeks. Our old friends, the
sugar trust and the milling trust,
seem to be the principal offenders,
and the president evidently in
tends to drag them before the bar
of public opinion.
Both these trusts were before
congress a little more than year
ago pleading for continuation of
the tariff privileges which they
have enjoyed for years. Now they
seize on the opportunity offered by
great war to charge the people
famine prices for their products.
1t is a striking illustration of the
patriotism of monopoly.
Incidentally, it might be well to
note that the beet-sugar factories
contracted for the farmers beets

hearing. 1t was very early in mger-
soils career when every one was
questioning his sincerity and num-
Der of clergymen waited upon him to
ask some questions.
The first one said: "Mr. IngersoIl,
you have so much to say about the
mistakes that have been made in the
plans and creation of this world, how
would you improve upon it,"
Ingersoll looked up with a twinkle
in his eye and answered: I'D make
good health catching. I'd make
poor little overworked sickly woman
stand up beside some great hulking,
husky man and catch good health.
I'd make little puny babies immune
from disease and liable to catch good
health"
Think what a beautiful world this
would be if we could make good
health catching.
l don't believe anyone who is abb
solutely healthy can be as sad and
sorrowful as one who is physically
weak or i'll. l have noticed that peo-
pie with weak hearts lack courage;
those with weak lungs are usually
disconnected; and when the kidneys
fail to eliminate the poisons of the
body, the brain is full of apprehen-
sion and worry Everyone has re-
marked that a sick liver" means a
person of quick temper, easy to
anger.
Lying here with one leg in plaster
cast and the other foot in many
bandages to protect its blistered sur
face, is conducive to thoughts on
weakness and ills of the body and
my weakness brings worry. 1 am

is something more than my unfortu-

that instead, of going to sleep 1 had
gone back into the region of uncon-
seriousness where they tell me l lin

life and death.
l had vague visions of nurses and
stiffly starched uniforms; of Dick
looking, oh! so unhappy and worried;
of Mollie's soft lips pressed against
my Burning hand; of Aunt Mary's
soothing voice; but the rest were only
shadows, which sometimes soothed
and sometimes fretted me. "

These sudden accidents make one

heat, says the correspondent. The
thirsty troopers stopped at small village
and asked a peasant for a drink He
brought out two pals of water Shortly
after drinking it nearly 100 men were, at
tackled with spasms, indicating poisoning.

village and demanded that the peasant
drink from the same pals. When he re-

WILSON REQUESTS B1
BRYAN
Am bassadOr Says Recent Statement
uthentic, but Did Not Mean
Any Reflection on
America.

WASHINGTON, Sept 12-President
Wilson early today wrote Secretary Bryan
to inquire of a. Rustem Bey, the Turkish
ambassador, If recently published state
ment attributed TO him was authentic.
The ambassador had long conference
with Mr.. Bryan at the State department.
after which the secretary conferred with
the president
The ambassador, It is understood, ex-
planned that the statement as published
was accurate, but was intended in no way
to reflect on the United States govern
ment. 1t was understood that with this
explanation the incident will be closed.
During the day there have been published
reports to the effect that the recall of
the ambassador might be sought by the
Washington government. but Secretary
Bryan said such reports were entirely
without authority.
Late tonight the ambassador authorized
the following statement:
I'm the presence of the Importance
given to the statement made by me a
few days back and arising out OF the
rumors sedulously disseminated I'm the
United States that a general massacre
of Christians was in preparation in Tur-
key, 1t may serve a good purpose to ex-
plain that, according to me, a great re-
sponsibility rests at the present moment
on the press of the United States. espe-
cially In regard to Turkey, where the
situation is naturally very strained one
For years past the newspapers OF this
country have INDUCED in blind hostility
towards Turkey. This was comparatively
unimportant so far. But today the unfair
ness OF this attitude may, cause serious
mischief.
