THE MEAT IN THE COCOANUT

A few days ago the esteemed Tri-
| bune attempted to draw a parallel
between one who has removed from
| Illinois and established himself in
Pennsylvania and one who has left
the United States to locate in Mexico.
The inference intended to be drawn
was that the Illinois man locating in
Pennsylvania might appeal to his ma
tive state to come to his relief in the
case that he had need of protection,
but this is so obviously not true, that
we marvel that even the Tribune
ventured to advance the point in JUS
tification of the idea that it is the
business of the United States to fol-
low its citizens wherever they may
go and throw about them the shield
of its perfection. OF course the Illi-
nois man who comes from Pennsyl-
vania loses all claims upon the for
mer state when he becomes a resident
of the latter Should danger of life
or to property confront him in any
shape he must look to Pennsylvania
alone for protection; and if Pennsyl-
vania fail or refuse to give him pro-
lection he might as well call on Mars
as on Illinois for relief President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan for more
than two years have been urging
Americans in Mexico to return home
in order to avoid the dangers which
revolution has invoked. Many Amer
leans needed the repeated warnings,
but others have chosen to remain in
the zone of trouble, thus deliberately
accepting all the chances involved.
If they lose life or property or both
they have only themselves to blame.
They have no right to expect other
Americans to risk their lives and
waste their substance in efforts to
purely private interests.
Yet this is what Americans still in
Mexico are demanding. And this is
what the esteemed Tribune would
have President Wilson do, even at
the cost of thousands of American
lives and at the sacrifice of hundreds
of millions of American treasure

CONGRESSIONAL
BEE IS A BUZZIN'

Aspirants for the seat in Congress
temporarily occupied by ]. E. Russell
of Sidney, a Republican, will now
take notice that some other county
has a good chance to land a good
Democrat in that seat two years
hence. Prospects are now bright
that Allen county will have her
usual three candidates this being in
dicated by the return to our pretty
city of Hon. Benjamin Franklin We'll
ty, late of the attorney generals Office.
When the question was shot right at
the major he ducked and said he had
no such intentions, but friends be-
lieve he will come again. With We'll
ty in the race, Cunningham already
having announced the third aspirant
who will make up the usual" three
comes forward in the distinguished
parsonage of the Hon. Ray r. Ken
nedy, of Spencerville, late of the low
er house and near-senator from this
district. These three will probably
be Allen county's favorite sons at the
next congressional primary.-'Ama

BETHEL GETS A BOOST

The st. Louis Globe Democrats
base ball correspondent, writing from
the training camp at San Antonia,
Texas has this to say of Celina's pop
ular young baseball star, with the st.
Louis Nationals:
Bruno Bethel looks better every
time l see him working at second
base He is a fast fielder and like
wise is speedy on the bases. He has
the making of heavy hitter, and it
looks as if he will stick with the
team. While he is no taller than
Higgins, he weighs 10 pounds. See
ing him in his clothes one would
make a guess at 1876. He is strong
as bear, has the pepper and doesn't
lose his head in a game.

WHAT WOULD BE THE RESULT?

What would be the result taken
throughout the country relative to
President Wilson's treatment of mat
ters arising out of the European
war?
The Buffalo Enquirer undertook to
guess, prefacing its guess with brief
summaries of criticisms which have
been aimed at the President.
These criticisms were boiled down
to four propositions-that Great
Britain had insulted America by COM
mercial restrictions; that Germany
insulted this country by her war zone
declaration; that Japan insulted this
country by her attitude toward China;
and that while insults accumulate,
the United States only waits and
watches" Continuing, the Enquirer
said:
Lets have an expression of pub
lie opinion in these matters
"All in favor of war with the Brit
ish empire, shout aye
"All in favor of war with Germany,
raise your right hands!
"All in favor of war with Japan,
stand up!
What!
Everybody silent-all keeping
their hands below their belts-all
sitting as though glued to their
seats!"
Evidently the critics of the Presi-
dent are more noisy than numerous.
They do not represent public opinion.
They do not voice the sentiment of
the mass of Americans. President
Wilson has refrained from hunting
trouble and in so doing he has en-
deared himself to the plain people
who would do the paying as well as
the fighting if jingoism were permit
ted to sway affairs at this critical
uncture.-Johnst Democrat.
We respectfully submit this to
Calamity and others.
