entered in the eleventh annual
state interscholastic track and
field meet at the University Of
Missouri last Saturday. There
were 1874 individual entries in
the athletic contests. Essay and

schools Of Kansas City have to
choose from, they succeeded in
carrying off the highest honors.
Joplin was a close third and
Charleston fourth.
Miss Johanna Schwier, repre-
senting Norborne High School,
won the essay contest, with her
essay on Man and His StOm-
ach.' The debate was won
by Bernard Hurwitz of Kansas
City Manual Training High
School. Each will receive a
diversity scholarship valued at
1925. The subject of the debate
was, Resolved that the judges
Of the Supreme Court of Missouri
should be appointed for an indie
finite term subject to recall by
the voters of the state" Mr..
Hurwitz upheld the affirmative.

problem of pacifying and stabl-
lizing Mexico. Our purpose is
not to conquer Mexico, but to re-
store the Mexicans to their nights

secure a stable government ca
pable Of protecting the lives and

try stands behind President Will

ml"al Fletcher's proclamation on
occupying Vera Cruz, calling
upon the people of that city to
cooperate with him in the pre-
servation of order and in the
protection of life and property,
is a fair statement Of our atti-

such an undertaking, we are now
committed to it beyond recall.

what We have begun.-Leslie's

Our Mission in Mexico.

In the occupation of Vera
Crutz by the armed forces of
the United States the inevitable
happened. For months the ad-
ministration'S policy towards
Mexico had been headed toward
Intervention. The occupation of
Vera Cruz launched the United
States upon the task of secur-
ing for the Mexican people
peaceful conditions and a stable
government. Eager though the
country had been for a more
vigorous policy at Washington, it
is significant THAT there was pro-
lOnged debate in the Senate be
fore the resolution was passed
iustifying the President Tin the
employment of the armed forces
Of the United States to enforce
his demands for unequivOeal
amends for affrOnts and indig-
mites committed against the
United States" The resolution
introduced by Senator Lodge,
and ably supported by Senator
Root, sought to ground our fu-
ture course with Mexico, not
simply on IIuerta's refusal to
make full amends for the insult
to our flag at Tampieo, but on
the broader foundation of the
$50 American lives which have
been sacrificed, the millions OF
dollars worth of American prop
erty which has been destroyed,
and the condition of anarchy In
Mexico which has made it i'm
possible to secure by diplomatic
means the protection Of life and
property. The Lodge resolution
which failed of passage, covered
the whole field and would have
adequately justified our course
in the eyes of all nations.
Although the former policy OF
the administration in dealing
with Mexico has proved to be a
failure, this is not the time for
criticising a mistaken past pol
icy. Let us not, however, make
a failure of the more aggressive
policy now adopted. If there
had been any hope ON the part
of President Wilson that the
COnstltutlOnalISt forces cOuIu pe
relied upon to eliminate Huerta
in case we shut off his inter
course with the outside world,
that hope was disposed Of by the
communication of General Car

Re. e.eIeCtiOn Of Gov. Cox NeCeS.
sary To Preserve Them

The speech of Senator William
Green Saturday night was fitting
conclusioi of the Democratic CAM
paign in Knox county.
1t was very evident that the court
room would be totally inadequate to
accommodate the people who desired
to hear Senator Green, and it was de-
termined to have him speak from the
steps Of the Curtis House. AS pro-
hibition meeting was in progress on
the public square, wait was made
until it was over, and this made the
Democratic meeting somewhat late in
starting, so that it was eight o'clock
when DR.. Fred L. Singrey, the chair
man of the evening, introduced the
speaker. A large crowd was present
and remained throughout the progress
of thesspeeeh. a.s.s.s.a-i ,se'-
Senator Green was given an enthus-
iastic reception upon being presented,
and all the way through his splendid
speech was frequently applauded. He
referred to the fact that this was the
first time he had appeared before a
Mt. Vernon audience since the primar-
les Of last August when he was can
didate for the nomination for congress
and took occasion to express his graf
itude for the vote cast for him on that
occasion, and bespoke cordial sup
port for Mr.. Ashbrook at the election.
Senator Green took the position
that the issue in this campaign was
and humanitarian laws Of the last
legislature. He referred to the pledg-
es made in the Democratic platform of
two years ago, and of the people en-
dorsing that platform by the election
of James M. Cox as governor, and how
every pledge in the platform had been
redeemed. He also referred to the
thirty-four amendments the people
had voted into the constitution, and Of
how the Democratic administration had
by legislation made all the amend
ments called for by the people effect
i've, and that now the Republican par
ty takes the position that Gov. Cox
should be defeated for redeeming the
pledges and carrying out the mandate
Of the people in reference to the
amendments to the constitution. He
said that during the two years Cox
has been governor he has made rep
utation for enforcing the laws, and
from his close association with him he
knew Gov. Cox had the courage and
inherent strength to carry out party

legislature some ten years ago and
had then the opportunity to prepare
and introduce compensation law,
but that he did not take advantage of
his opportunity, and that it Is poor
grace that he now claims any credit
for the passage of the law. He said if
Mr.. Willis believed in compensation
law he should have introduced a bill
for the purpose when he had chance.
Senator Green referred to the moth
ers pension law, the good roads law,
the school law and other humanitarian
and progressive laws enacted under a
Democratic administration and dwelt
upon the advantage OF them all. He
said that Ohio is a progressive state
and that other states are copying our
laws, they are so good. He said we
believe in going forward, not back
ward, and of facing the rising sun. He
said if Harding, the greatest reaction
airy in Ohio, except Foraker, is elected
senator, we would be taking a back
ward step. He referred to Hogan as q
man of fine ability and the best at
torney-general Ohio ever had and that
he is in full sympathy with progress
sive laws, defended the compensation
law in the supreme court when 1t was
attacked by the interests, and that he
is needed in the senate to help Presi-
dent Wilson in his great policies.
The splendid record of Knox coun-
tvs representative in the legislature,
Norman H. Hunter, was also referred
TO by Senator Green, and of how Rep
progressive and humanitarian mea-
sures.
Senator Green showed up the oppo-
sition to Gov. Cox of Harvey CARRIER
and other lobbyists, who were driven
from the state house by Gov. Cox and
who are now the main-springs of the
Willis campaign. He mentioned the
false statements contained in the lit
tie red book" regarding the leasing
of floor space in Columbus office build
ings for state departments.
Senator Green plainly stated the sit
uation--that the defeat Of Cox would
mean a death blow to the progressive
laws and appealed to the audience
that If they wished the workmen's COM
pensation law and the other humani.
tartan laws maintained that they must
vote for the reelection of Gov. Cox.
Senator Green was very earnest In
all he said, and his words made deep
impression on all of the large audi
ence. Applause and demonstrations
of approval marked the attitude OF the
audience and his appeal for the cleo
ton of Cox and Hogan received an en-
thusiastic response.
Upon the conclusion of Senator
Green's speech many people went for
ward to shake hands with him and to
congratulate him upon his excellent
address.
Senator Green completed his cam
paign work by touring Perry county
Monday.
