meant war and the President was
backed up by congress, the leading
journals and The patriotic people OF
our country in general.
When Huerta found out that the
fleet OF war vessels had really started,
he backed down and promised to sa-
lutte the American flag as ordered.
Subsequently Huerta said that he
expected that the United States
would respond in saluting the Next
can flag, gun for gun.
The victorious constitutionalists
under the leadership of Gen. Villa,
have been sweeping all before them
and are now so close to Huerta's
citadel that he realizes that the in
|surgents or constItutionalists will
soon overthrow its government, unless
something desperate is done to thwart
that purpose. Huerta hopes by CIV
ing Uncle Sam a few petty insults for
the purpose of involving this govern
ment in war with Mexico, that it
will result in solidifying the Mexican
people behind his government. How
ever, Uncle Sam is aware of the situa-
tion and is not going to allow the
usurper Huerta TO draw him into a
war as means. The Mexican author
tiles have interrupted communication
by wire with this country and news
is now being censored by the Mexican
government.
In the event of war the states will
be called upon 10 furnish their quota
of troops and Wisconsin, as it did in
1861 to 1865, and later in its war with
Spain, will be ready. In the former
war it furnished $1,000 soldiers and in
the latter as many as three or four
times as were wanted offered their
services.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1914-04-21

IT is generally understood that the
present state administration and It's
followers will make the fight next
fall TO keep in power along the lines
of more commissions. 1t is rumored
that it is proposed to have commits
sion to regulate prize lighting,
another on baseball, another to ex-
anime blacksmith shops and hun
dred and one others fully as necessary
as the commissions which the state
already have. AS John Awkward said
i'm his speech before the Universalists
Mems club last Friday evening, that
it is even proposed that commission
to investigate the various commits
sions be appointed. The end to
which LaFollette planned his politi-
cal machine at the outset, was to get
into the employment of the state
every voter possible, in fact to have
things so arranged so that in time, a
majority of the voters would be in the
employ of the state, and thus gain a
power which will be perpetual. Will
an individual holding a state position,
vote for any other than the admins
tration which gave him that posi-
ton? Not on your life. 1t is time
to have a cleaning out and get
back to the simple life. If the
people have got to pay hundreds
of dollars for each deer running
at large in our forests that it
may be shot down by few sportsmen
during the open season, and a dollar
or so for the protection of each fish in
our streams, then it would be better
to wipe out the protection and Tie
sooner the game is gone the better.
If we have to sustain the state uniyer-
sity at cost of thousand or more
dollars per pupil, better abolish it
and resort to private colleges. Line
same can be said of the whole cate
CORY of commissions, with which this
state is afflicted. II this condi-
ton is allowed TO continue just
so long will investors seek other
states than our own in which to
do business; our lands will remain
idle; our water powers undeveloped;
industries will close their doors and
in "a few years Wisconsin will be
known as the only state in the Union
ruled by a dictator. Do you want
dictator LaFollette and his army OF
office holders to bring about such a
condition, or would you prefer to get
back to the simple life? That's the
question.
