Munitions Of War? Why, the Very Ideal

The Mexican is peaceful; the Mexican is kind
No thought of war and carnage could fill his gentle
mind
He would not loot city; he would not burn town
He would not raid lonely ranch and shoot the poems
down.
And when he gets those rifles we have let him have,
he means
To plant 'em in his garden patch to train up jumping
beans.
The Mexican is placid; the Mexican is meek
If you should take shot at him, he'd turn the other
cheek. - , r.-...'
He would not snipe soldiers and no argument at all
Could make him send Gringo to be shot against
wall. -
And when he gets that powder that we've let him
have we know ..'" ..s
He'll plant it in his villa plots to see if it will grow
The Doc has often told US that carnage isn't right;
He says it's worse than wicked for any one to fight
And when he lets those cargoes of rifles sail away;
1t cannot be his judgment for second went astray
He must have known the Greasers, when this turbu-
lence shall cease ~
Intend the guns as perches for the tranquil Dove of
Peace. - T-ta" y - $3.50

Try to Avoid Campaign Tours.

AS matter of fact, Presidents try to avoid the
appearance of deliberately trying capture by
campaign tours 1t looks too much like prosttuting
their high Office to partisan purposes.
President Harrison made a tour and delivered
eighty speeches, all of them fecitous and tactful
in expression and all apparently extemporaneeus The
volume of his addresses stands today model Of its
kind. President Cleveland also made a speech-mak-
ing trip but practically everything he said had
been literally cribbed from the encyclopedias, the
newspapers began to make fun of him and the tour
became joke. President Mckinley went out to the
Pacific Coast, speaking in nearly every city en-route
but the trip had apparent political Significance.
Mr. Roosevelt while candidate for Vice President,
made lengthy tour delivering political speeches, but
after he became President his speeches were rarely
partisan. As general thing, these tours which
Presidents have made have been with the ostensible
purpose of meeting the people of various sections
and have not been made while campaign was in
progress. If Mr.. Wilson should go upon the stump
he would be doing an unusual thing but it would not
be entirely without precedent.
There have been two instances where speech max
ing has hurt than it has helped. One affected
a would-be President and the other actual Pres-
dent. The first the famous rum, Ronianism and
rebellion" utterance of Burchard speaking
in behalf of James G. Blaine. in New York,
which more than any other one thing led to his de-
feat. The other mistake the decision of Presi-
dent Taft to make campaign speeches prior to the
nominating convention of 1912 1t is true that the Bit
ter attacks of Roosevelt tested the patience of Taft
beyond endurance but the fact remains that Taft hurt
himself by leaving the White House and hurting
epitI1ets at Roosevelt from the rear platform of
railroad train 1t made good headlines for the news
papers but the great mass of the American people
did not like it. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
spectacle will never be repeated in this country.

terious phases of the Mexican situation There is
some curiosity, to say the least to why vefa Ctz

life and property, to prevent cargo of arms from
reaching Huerta, while ship laden with aims and
ammunition for Carranza is allowed to enter Tam
pico with flying colcrs and Mexican gunboats are

explanation as to the extent which the interests
which are financing Carranza are controlling the di-
recton of affairs at Washington would also be most
interesting In fact dozen queries concerning pres
ent inexplicable happenings naturally arise and their
answers if satisfactory to the American people would
go far toward helping the Democrats in the approach
ing campaign.
1t is to be hoped that the President will go into the
campaign He likes to do the unusual thing and GER
tanly nobody ever charged him with cowardice He
has his opportunity to take the people into his
confidence. He can add to the sum of human
knowledge. He can justify his domination of Con-
gress and help toward reelection the Democrats
who have followed him loyalty. but blindly. They
need his assistance He ought to give it to them in
the same ungrudging spirit which they have shown
in obeying all his commands.

1t Can't Be Done.

CHINESE GIRL A DENTIST.

First of San Francisco's native daugh-
tiers of the Chinese race to start the
practice of dentistry and the second
Chinese-American woman in the United
States to be graduate in dentistry Is
Miss Marjorie Virginia Kimlau, Of this
city, who has just graduated from the
College of Physicians and Surgeons
Miss Kimlau was born in San Francisco
twenty-five years ago. and Is a real
American as far as dress, speech, rec
reation, and opinions are concerned.
II Is hinted among her classmates, of
whom thirty-three are men and one
woman. that there Is romance hidden be-
hind the inscrutable face which looks
upon the world with the age-old wisdom
of the Orient. tempered by the piquancy
of the women of the Occident This.
however, is denied by Miss Kimlau her
self, who says II Is time enough for any
girl to think of marriage after she has
something in the world.
She believes that no Chinese girl should
marry outside Of her own race. and she
hopes to go to Shanghai after she has
practiced in San Francisco with her
father for a time.

Plenty of Topics to Talk About.

If the President should decide to go upon the
stump-and there is doubt that the party leaders
will seek to play his participation in the campaign
as desperate trump card-he may be able to clear
up much of the fog that exists in the political
atmosphere.
A clear and definite statement from him as to the
reasons which led him to change his mind in regard
to the repeal of the Panama tolls exemption law
would unquestionably help him and his party. He
publicly commended exemption of American coast
wise vessels in his campaign speeches in 1912 and he
accepted platform which was in accord with his
declarations He has never yet explained what cir
curstance or circumstances caused him to insist upon
repeal. Much of the opposition manifested to re-
peal is undoubtedly caused by ignorance due to a
lack OF satisfactory information 1t is in the power
Of the President to make speech which will demon
strate the wisdom and patriotism of his position.
Then too, the Presidents appearance on the stump
would afford an opportunity to explain some mys-

Safeguarding Life on the Seas.

II used to be possible to assert without fear of
contradiction, that safer to travel on the
than on the land. Statistics that would pass as
proof of such assertion would be difficult of COM
pilaon and besides statistics are susceptible of ar
rangement to prove anything.
Without doubt however the large number of
marine disasters in the past few years. involving
nous loss of life,have tended to shake the public
confidence in the safety of ocean travel The sad and
deplorable truth is that nearly all of them could
have been prevented if rules regarding equipment and
navigation had been more comprehensive and rigid
and proper caution and stricer attention duty

The Titanic, Volturno, Monroe and Empress of
Ireland horrors all within two years should be suf-

human brain can evolve or ingenuity devise should
be compelled by laws. Ocean travel is increasing at
a rapid rate the frequent launching of new
leviathan proves and every year there thousands
more human lives to safeguard.
1t is therefore gratifying to note any step of
progress toward greater safety sea, and such
step has just been taken by Secretary of Commerce
Redhcld in demanding more severe punishment of
shpmasters whose negligence lack of precaution is
for accidents, though they may be
trivial and not result in loss of life.
The safety-at-sea treaty is before the Senate for

it promptly. Duty to humanity demands a speedy

certed effort stop the needless sacrifice of life on
the ocean, and the United States should show the

President Wilson is receiving hundreds of picture
post cards showing a woman seated in cell in a
West Virginia jail where she is serving sentence of
six months for violatinga strike injunction The
cards are sent to the President in the hope of in
fuencing him to order the woman's release. The
President sends them the Department Of Justice.

PsliticaI Situation.

There is a cry from Macedonia. In Iowa and
Pennsylvania and elsewhere they want the President
10 make campaign speeches. 1t is up to Woodrow
Wilson to save the day..
The situation Is Interesting. Things are admit
teddy going bad for the administration Some one
must explain and defend and assuredly no one can
command larger audiences than the President He
will attract treninaous crowds everywhere 1t is
true of course that OF the thousands who gather to
him only scores will actually hear his voice but
the newspapers will carry the printed words and thus
publicity win be gained The politicians, too, put
great faith in the actual presence of the President
They think he inspires confidence and creates en-
thusiasm and thus helps the party organization
Meanwhile, the President has not made up his
mind. Personally, nothing would please him better
than an active, speech-making tour. He likSs to
travel people and to talk The instinct of the
professor and the lecturer is in him. At the same
time, he knows that the American people have high
regard for the dignity of the Presidential office He
knows that the spectacle of President cavorting
around the country in effort TO capture votes is
not altogether pleasing. Being man of high ideals,
1t is seriously to be Questioned whether President
Wilson will demean himself by going upon the stump
What he would like to do and what his better udg-
ment tells him he ought not to do are two different
things. The probability is that he will write letter
or two he may find some opportunity to deliver
speech the campaign draws to close. Up to
the present time he has not given much thought to
the question Congress is certain to be here until
tate in August and possibly September and then the
President wants to rest Only the belief that he and
he alone can save the Democratic party from defeat
would lead him to agree to a campaign tour. He can
tell better October whether his services are i'm
