WILSON IS RlGHT-If President
Wilson were afraid of the big city
newspapers and willing to obey their
orders he would declare war on Ger
many right OF without waiting for
any information about the sinking of
the Arabic except such news as got
by the British censors.
But he isn't afraid of the jingo
press and is determined to use his
own judgment. So he will not go of
half-cOcked, but viii wait for official
reports before rushing this country
headlOng into the European war. And
he win hear the German as well as
the British side of it before making
up his mind just what this country's
duty to humanity and itself is
Pm neutral enough to want to hear
both sides before taking one of them.
Wilson knows more about the in
side of this war than any editor in
the country; and believe the people
have more confidence in his mature
elaboration than in the frenzied
opinions of lot of fool editors.
If Wilson has permitted himself to
be stampeded by these very same
papers we would have been at war
with Mexico when wholesale murder
broke loose in Europe.
Wilson was right then, and he's
right now. As our old friend DaVy
Crockett once remarked: Be sure
you're right, then go ahead

sPOT-BEELIED PATRIOTS. - The
training Of business men at Platts-
burg for military purposes and the
proposed camp for the same purpose
near Chicago may result in much
good for pot-bellied patriots, even if
it doesn't save the country from some
military power
While there has been a gradual
improvement IN the matter of excess
i've drinking among the men Of this
country there has been no corTe-
spending crusade against intemper-
ate eating; and pot-beHied business
and professional men are among our
most important products.
It seems that men who have more
than they need and can eat more
than they need are bound to take adj
vantage Of opportunity; and we have
millions of desk and Office men whose
work doesn't require physical exer-
else eating their heads off three times
day-wearing out their kidneys and
putting the rest of their insides on
the bum.
So we have Bright's disease, nerv-
GUS prOstration, neuritis gastritis,
rheumatism, govt, dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, constipation and a thousand
and one ills Of the flesh that are max
ing physical moHycoddles of nenwhO
inherited robust constitutions.
Whether it is patriotism or some
thing worse that is inspiring the pot
beIlied persons with soft hands and
soft clothes to get out under the sun
and march and drill and sweat, the
result will make better men of them
physicaIy-and, perhaps, mentally.

On the trip from Galveston to
Houston Mr.. Buliar,l said the bay
shore was streHn with wreckage and
the carcasses of cows and other ami
mails. together with bales of cotton
which had been washed out Of Gall
weston by the tide. He estimates that
Texas City was worse hit than Gall
weston. There is much suffering
there, especially among the soldiers
who were unable to procure drinking
water. He said he was told in Tex
as City that six soldiers were killed
in the collapse of a building and that
n number were drowned. Five big
oil tanks broke and the water WAS
covered with oil. Many of the army
horses broke loose and in their
floundering in the waser they were
covered with oil. Along the railroad
from Texas City to Houston many
wrecked houses and barns were seen.
Most Of these had their roofs blown
off. Ii was - scene of desolation all
along the way. Near Houston many
large pine trees were blown up ny

Before leaving Galveston MIR. Bull
lard helped Will Moore push his au-
tomobiie out of IA garage, where the
water was up to the wind shield on
the machine.
Mr. Builard confirmed other res
ports that the big causeway had been
washed out at each end. The draw

UnconiirIncd reports Of entire

Railroad officials are assembling
men and material to replace the
washed out portion of the cause
way with temporary wooden
structure. This will probably be
completed in three weeks by work
ing day and night crews. Engineers
estimate that it will take six
months and probably year to re-
place the damaged portion of the
causeWay.
The property loss in most cases
Is merely speculation. Galveston,
which was no doubt the hardest hit, i,
suffered loss variously estimated
from three million To fifteen mil
lion dollars. Most people seem in
