cy and security in all its aspects.
There are Other great matters which
will be thrust upon our attention
whether we will or not There is, for
example. very pressing question Of
trade and shipping involved in this
great problem Of national adequacy
1t is necessary for many weighty rea
sons of national efficiency and devel
opment that we should have great
merchant marine. The great merchant
feet we once used to make us rich
that great body of sturdy sailors who
used 10 carry our flag into every sea.
and who were the pride and often the
bulwark Of the nation. we have almost
driven out of existence by inexcusable
neglect and Indifference and by hope
lessIy blind and provincial policy of
so called economic protection. 1t is
high time we repaired our mistake and
resumed our commercial independence
on the seas.
With view to meeting these press
ing necessities of our commerce and
awaiting ourselves at the earliest posi-
BILE moment of the present unparalleled
opportunity of linking the two Ameri-
cas- together in bonds of mutual inter
est and service, an opportunity which
may never return again if we miss ii
now. proposals will be made to the
present congress for the purchase or
construction of ships to be owned and
directed by the government similar to
those made TO the last congress, but
modified in some essential particulars.
recommend these proposals to you
for your prompt acceptance with the
| more confidence because every month
that has elapsed since the former pro-
posals were made has made the ne
cessity for such action more and more
manifestly imperative. That need was
then foreseen 1t is now acutely felt
and everywhere realized by those for
whom trade is waiting, but who can
find no conveyance for their goods.
am not SO much interested in the par
| ticulars of the program as | am in
taking immediate advantage of the
great opportunity which awaits us If
we will but act in this emergency In
this matter. as in all others. spirit of
| common counsel should prevail. and
out of it should come an early solu
| ton of this pressing problem.

ND President Wilson delivered a
joint session of the senate and
house ~ the beginning of the
Sixty-fourth congress:

you on the state of the Union the war

its pOrtentous proportions, has extend,

until it has swept within its flame
some portion of every quarter Of the
globe, not excepting our own hemi
sphere, has altered the whole face of
international affairs. and now presents
q prospect OF reorganization and re
construction such as statesmen and
peoples have never been called upon
to attempt before.
The president tells how this country
practiced neutrality and declares that
he hopes that when the time comes
for reimbursement and recuperation this
country will he Of infinite service. Re
ferring to Central and South American
problems, the president declares that
we should retain undated the spirit
which has inspired us throughout the
whole life of our government and
which was SO frankly put into words
by President Monroe.
We have been put to the test in the
case Of Mexico, and we have stood the
test. Whether we have benefited Mex
leo by the course we have pursued re
mains to be seen. Her fortunes are III
her own hands But we have at least
proved that we will not take advan
tage Of her in her distress and under
take to impose upon her an order and
government OF our own choosing. Lib
erty is often a fierce and intractable
thing, to which no bounds can be set
and to which no bounds of a few
mems choosing ought ever to be set
Every American who has drunk at
the true fountains of principle aud ira
dition must subscribe without reserva
ton to the high doctrine of the Vir-
ginia bill CO rights, which in the great
days in which our government was set

piled that heroic principle to the case
of Mexico and now hopefully await
the rebirth of the troubled republic,
which had SO much Of which to purge
itself and so little sympathy from any
outside quarter in the radical but nee
essary process We will aid and be-
friend Mexico, but we will not coerce
her, and our course with regard to her
ought to be sufficient proof to all Amer
lea that we seek no political suzerainty
or selfish control

"WILD BILL" ENDICOTT.
Great Auto Speed King Coming to
Winneshiek County Fair.

wild BillT Endicott, dean OF
the Indianapolis 50O-Mile racers
twice money winner in that exact
Ing contest and former head of the
Cole and Schacht racing team has
forwarded his signed entry blank to
the Secretary Of the Winneshiek
County Fair and will be one of the
contestants in the automobile races
next Tuesday, August II.
Endicott is one of the most popu-
lar auto racers in America and he
could give any other speed producer
handicap in the matter of friends,
as the Hoosier Pilot has followers
galore in every part of the United
States.
Hard luck has no ill effects upon
Endicott and it never makes him
frown or forget to smile. An illus
tration of this occurred at Detroit,
recently, when Endicott was thun-
dering around the track at nearly a
hundred miles an hour and with a
lead of seven miles over his nearest
rival, he crashed through the fence
and went down ten foot embank-
ment. The ambulance corps rushed
to the spot expecting to find Endi-
colt dead or seriously injured, but
instead when they arrived on the
scene he was calmly sitting on tho
top of his wrecked machine smok-
ing cigar, with some blood trick
ling down his cheek from a cut un-
der his right eye.
