Two old friends of The Democrat
have nobly responded to the call of
duty. Last week it was Governor
George w. Peck in his letter repudiat-
ing the Karel movement and support
ing the candidacy Of John A. Awkward.
Now it is Colonel j. A. Watrous with a
bugle blast in support Of President
Wilson against an unjust attack
Colonel Watrous says:
No president since Lincoln has had
harder tasks to perform than Mr.. Will
son, and none has ever given his duties
closer, deeper or more intelligent study
and effort.
Mr. Wilson's life and service make it
plain that he is an honest and intensely
patriotic man, as anxious as any of his
predecessors, not excluding Washington
and Lincoln, TO insure the safety,
and glory of the nation.

Wilson's Example.

New York World: The great states
men of Europe were very pessimstic
only little while ago over President
Wilson's policy in Mckee. That policy
has now brought the warning elements
into conference. and peace is probably
only ii question of a few days Mean
time the Mexican problem, which so
far as Europe is concerned persists in
the Balkans, may ut any moment call
millions of men into the field
BY patience and refusal to listen to
the promptings of ambition and greed,
President Wilson prevented great
war. There was just rs much urgency
in his case as appear now at the various
capitals of Europe. He withstood the
pressure of jingoes, spectators and ex-
ploiters. While they worked for war
he worked for peace.
Will Europe profit by his exampleY

bring strength of purpose and even
headed good Judgment. He is, IN my
Judgment, by reason of his familiarity
with the administration, functions of
government, and his long professional
career at the bar at Madison, and his
study of state taxes and state expendi-
lures, the best equipped of any man
named to administer the functions of
government of the state of Wisconsin
at this critical juncture in its history.
