+, Washington, D. c.; Aug. 31.---Some
of the things that Woodrow Wilson
has done for the American people
during his admins tratjon, which has
yet to- reach the first year and a
half of it's existence, to wit: 5ay z
A firm foreign policy one of
watchful waiting-which prevented
a war with Mexico, and made impos-:
sible untold loss Of lives, the demon
alizaticn OF business, and a stagger-
ing war debt. On the other hand the
Mexican people have advanced as }ney
er before by the Presidents fight to
restore to them possession Of their
land. ,ssi5 az, 81 !, i: ..:st ;,. WI VI 4

without the usual and heretofore in
evitable panic AS the result of the
efforts of the President the laws
have been made the same for every
body--big and, little-not by whole:

but by peaceable and judicious
means. e ~. 4, . }5#
