the fathers, unyielding to $ fish inn
portunity, unbending to the raucouS
voice of passing clumor. With un-
clouded vision he sees far into the flu
ture, as in the case of Mexico. and
steps with steady football along the
pathway of national duty. He lives
in deeds not years, with Il glorious
adherence to the faith that is in him
and unwavering devotion to the prin-
cipals that are his own.
His record ot IL year stands out pre-
emincntly as one of marvellous achieve
ment. With Webster he stands for
lone country, one constitution. one
destiny" The difficulties that have
come to him have proved what manner
of man he is. Through moderation
he has brought conviction to the I'M

nation of injustice and wrong. He
has been Il great president in many
more senses than Onc-great in intel

There is a Congressman in
Washington who has a very

restaurant one day he observed
that the gentleman across the
table from him was eyeing this
probocis with keen curiosity.

wondering how it attained such

kept my nose out of other peoples

WOODROW WILSON.

The verdict of history will justify
Woodrow Wilson, president, as Il
man of deeds. not words.
a year ago today he was installed as
president. a splendid bravery has
been his-not less splendid because of
an infrrquent aglow
with the ardor of the crusader and the
clear sighted insistence of the man
with Il mission. Within the year his
wisdom has been demonstrated many
times, and his instructive resolve for
the right vindicatcd.
Under his direction the tariff law has
been amended and proportional in
sweeping fashion. The verdict OF the
business world has yet 10 be returned,
but regardless of this the central fact
is that he has kept his pledge with the
people.
Largely under his guidance the cur
rcncy system of the nation has been
changed completely. Here again, no
matter what the results may be. lie has
been faithful to his pledge.
Through his insistence an income
tax law is in operation, its justice
conc ,ded by all save the few to whom
neither justice nor equity appeals ,uc-

He has stecred the nation through
the many vexationS born Of the serious
complications in Mexico, and ii salts

cautious and inIlexible patriotism.
He has kept the faith.he pledged the

Benton is the first Englishman
to be killed during this Mexican
trouble. Apparently he was ex-
ecuted by General Villa. The
latter says Benton had been aid
ing Huerta. army and attempted
to shoot Villa. The "jingoes"
press bureau has given many
versions of this affair but these
yarns can not possibly be true,
for the simple reason that no one
saw Benton after he entered
Villas headquarters except the
General and his men,. They be-
ing the sole witnesses of the
tragedy it is of course impossible
for any one else to tell what oc-
cured. We will probably never
secure a satisfactory report of
the occurrence.
ATTITUDE OF EUROPE
We have it on the word of Sec
retary Bryan that the ''Jingoes'
states an untruth when they
say European countries are at
tempting to dictate this nations
course in Mexico. The United
States is to have free hand so
far as Europe is concerned.
It is more than probable that
European countries do not ap
prove of our way of handling the
Mexican situation. But what OF
that.
The same countries did not ap-
prove of our course in adopting
the Declaration of Independence.
and the Constitution OF the Uni
ted States, and the many other
governmental innovations which
we have seen fit to secure for
ourselves during the last centu-
ry. We have not bothered our
heads about their opinions touch
ing those things and why should
we give any more thought to
their views on our foreign policy.
President Wilson is handling
the Mexican situation in the
AMERICAN way, not the Eng
lish way or the German way or
the Russian way.
Place in our position, England
or Germany or Russia would drag
half million OF it's young men
from the farm and the factory
and hurl them into Mexico to
kill and be killed. Then, the
government would increase the tax
paid by the citizens who remained
at home in order to raise funds
to support the half million who
were defending the flag" in
Mexico. After several years of
this sort of thing Mexico would
be conqured and made a colony
or dependency of England, Ger
many or Ruisia as the case might
be. Then the big bankers and
captains of industry who lived in
the victorious nation would
appear on the scene and proceed
to 'develope" Mexico. They
would gobble up all the rich mines
and oil lands and fertile planta-
tions and exploit them for their
own glory and profit. The
poor devils who had done the
fghting-that is, those Of them
VINO were still alive and out of
the hospital would be sent home
to resume work in the factories
and on the farms. They would
have no part in the glory or the
profis of exploitation. They
would be told that they were not
| fitted for such high achievement
either by experience or by educa-
ton.
That's imperialism. That's
the European way Of doing things
That's why one million four
hundred thousand Europeans
fled from Europe last year and

The ''jingo'' is abroad in the
land once more and of course is
clamoring for intervention IN

ed a good many wars but history
does not record that he has par

one OF the old story of Artemus

for volunteers, Artemus announ-
ced that he would enlist but de
clared he was prepared to sac.
rifce all his wifes relatives.

Bryan's request.
He knew that England could
not comply with his suggestion
without recognizing the belliger-
ency of the Constitutionalists and
such action would sweep the last
prop from under the Huerta re-
gime.
Carranza was playing a shrewd
game but he had not counted on
the efficiency Of the ''jingoes'

MAN DROWNED

Drowned In White River
Above Elizabeth.

John Newman, young man
and pearler, who was living in q
houseboat tied up at the bend
above Old Elizabeth and below
Jacksonport, was drowned on
Thursday morning, according to
reports from up the river.
Newman was in a gasoline
boat which capsized, causing him
to be thrown into the river,
which is now at a very high
stage.
Newman's boat is said to have
struck the piling and revetment
work done to protect the rail
road at that point, and the cur
rent being strong, there, the
light boat was quickly capsiz-
ed.
Newman formerly pearled near

Crop Conditions Normal.

| Little Rock, May e The con-
lsensus of opinion among agri-
cultural experts throughout the
state is that crop conditions at
this time are about normal.
The weather during the past
week was in the main unfavora-
BILE, there being too much rain,
and the temperature being too
low for the termination of cot
ton seed. The plant in the low
lands as rule, where it was
planted about the middle of
April, is growing well, and is
in much better con dition than
that planted earlier, while the
later planting is not up yet.
1t is estimated that there is
an increase of 5 to 10 per cent in
the cotton acreage of the state.
There is also disposition to-
ward diversified and intensive
farming. More corn, grain, hay
and live stock is being raised.
This does not mean less cotton,
but the policy is More cotton at
less cost, on less land" More
fertilizer is being used than ever
before, and scientific methods are
more prevalent.
So far this season there has
been very little damage due to
cverf1ows except in a section near
Arkadelphia, on the Ouachita,
where several thousand acres of
cotton were destroyed.
