before him. He praised Judge Speer's
mental capacity and ability to preside.

With President Wilson at the head of
this nation and Secretary Bryan at his
right hand, there is little danger that
we shall become involved in the great
war. Things are bound to happen as
hostilities proceed which will infame the
jingo spirit in this country and those
who mistake wise patience and love of
peace for cowardice will scream for re-
venge for some real or fancied grievance
But the men who guide our national
destinies have shown by their admirable
conduct of our Mexican relations that
they are not to be influenced by the out
cries of the unthinking and the excit-
able. Ohio Journal (Rep.).
