A MAN OF DESTINY.

""ro the historian of fifty years
hence" says the New York World
"the fact that woodrow Wilson was
president in this crisis may seem NJ
less providential than the fact that
Abraham Lincoln was president when
the very life of the union was hang-
ing on the balance"
What is smaller or weaker man
had been president when thousands
of good American citizens were urg-
ing that it was our duty to send an
army to Mexico to restore order with
the strong hand?
What if some advocate of a "vigor-
our foreign policy" some brainy, red
blooded American who glories in the
fact that he is fighter, had been
president and had yielded to the
clamor for the United States to act
as policeman south of the Rio
Grande?
| I'VE would have been actually at
war with Mexico when the European
war broke out, and the chances of our
becoming entangled would have been
greatly increased There might have
been a pretext for the European
| powers in some way to involve us.
At the very best, we should have
been spending vast sums of money
| that we now need and public confi-
dence in our administration and in
our fiances would have been i'm
paired.

he was weak, but he was stronger
