Disseminated,

In the 1912 campaign the Providence
Journal was a most loyal supnorter
'of woodrow Wilson. The other day
IT published an editorial treating The
New Freedom" and watchful waiting
new style, in a way that suggests il
would like to campaign against him
now. Among the things it said are;
The Admins tration's decision to
let Mexico stew in its own Juice Was
officially made known on Jackson Day
at indianapolis.
The country had already guessed it
from the absence of all reference 10
Mexican affairs in the annual message
to Congress, "a month ago.
This is real Watchful waiting. of
course. 1t is the policy which the Nd
ministration was advised to adopt. at
the outset, ly those most competent
to give advice. The American Ambas-
sador to Mexico was piIloried for Of
fering it. The British minister incurred
the hot displeaSure of the Admins
tratlon for public expression of the
same opinion. The State Department
resented any suggestion that it might
learn something to its advantage if il
would keep an open mind
So, in pursuance of one Of the most
groteSQue tictionS that wrong headed
craftsmanship ever fooled ITSELF with
we have had, for two years, watchful
waiting punctuated by the futile mis-
sion of Confidential Agent John Lind
the irresponsible activities of Envoy
all-over William Bayard Hale, the
buster Of the "Tampico incident" the
despatch of an armada to Mexican
waters, the taking of Vera Cruz by the
Navy at the price Of a score of lives.
and its occupation by the Army at a
cost of some millions.
Did the pitiful sacrifices of the Vera
Cruz adventure give the Administra-
tion pause, and set in motion a fresh
train Of thought on the "one-track
mind which has now backed up?
Mr.. Wilson may have supposed that
Congress and the country would be
satisfied with his silence in the mes
sage. His explanation at Indianapolis
shows realizing sense Of the per-
sistence Of public curiosity about the
quiet abandonment Of the policy mis-
branded ''watchful waiting" Mexico
is none Of my business, and it is
none of your business" it now appears.
That is saying too much, of course, if
we reflect that because the Admins
tration made it my business Mex
leo is condition more deplorable than
at any time in the whole four years
Of civil strife.

Mr.. Bryan's Job.

Who says Secretary Of State W. J..
B. has done nothing but Chautauqua?
Who thinks he has not been onto"
his diplomatic and secretarial job
Now we have proof that he has. Spe-
cial Commissioner Phelan's investi-
cation of the Santo Domingo scandal
furnishes evidence that Mr.. Bryan
has been earning his insufficient sal
airy from the people by the sweat Of
his brain in their service. The docu-
mentary proof is provided by n
Democrat and is reported to Demo-
crat. 1t is "a letter of Instructions
sent by Mr.. Bryan in August, 1913, to
Walker NJ. Wick, whom President
Wilson had just previously sent 10
Santo Domingo as receiver of GUS
toms. Secretary w. J. p. at that
time sadly neglected the Chautauqua
circuit in pursuit Of his official >du-
ties. for the letter of instruction" 10
Nh Wick read in part
Non that you have arrived and are ac-
quainting yourself with tHe situation. can
you not let me know what positions you
have at YOUR disposal with which to re-
ward deserving Democrats? Whenever
you desire n suggestion from me in re
gard to man Tor any place there, call
OIL me
You have had enough experience IN
politics to know how valuable workers
are when the campaign is on and how
diftlcult it is to find suitable rewards for
extent Il knowledge Of Spanish is neces-
sary for employees. Let me know what
is required, together with the salary and
when appointments are likely to be
made.
a secretary of State who can. and
will willingly, provide deserving"
Democrats for the offices Of neigh
boring governments, Is some secre-
tary, we opine. Our foothold in the
Dominican treasury is as collector of
a certain percentage set aside for the
payment Of the foreign claims against
that government. Mr.. Root when
Secretary of State, referred to the
Office Of the American collector at
Santo Domingo as "a sacred trust"
Now it appears that Mr.. Wick was Of
the same opinion, in spite of his "ex-
perience in politics" He finally re-
signed rather than tolerate the inter-
ference of some one who did not
know but who wanted offices for
the deserving"
President Wilson Ishould consider
the facts and act According to his
judgment. We can hardly expect
him to become party to such meth
DDS of handing the whole peoples
business.

until now he goes into the ice cold
water with as much contempt for the
cold as familiarity with the warm
water of summer. He began the
practice with a party Of friends who
kept it up with him until the ice began
to run and then quit. The fact that
Mcneil does this immediatly after
eating at noon makes the feat all the
more remarkable, as such an act has
always been considered outside the

consolation cost him 90 cents. He ap-

Here. Bachelors, Are Some
Thumb Rules of Marriage

Chicago, March 19.--Six hundred
bachelors s,ent their luncheon hour
Yesterday receiving "fatherly' advice
from Professor Winfield S. Hall OF
Northwestern university medical
school on Choosing a wife"
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the central department OF
the Y. M. C. A.
II don't see any bald heads in the
audience" said Dr.. Hall, 80 take it
for granted You all are good candi-
dates for marriage.
"By that l mean you have sound
health, are morally clean and can sup
port a wife if you "a win one.
Imagine the girls of your acGualn-
tanceship lined up before you. Out OF
the possible six to twenty girls you
arc to choose q wife. Which n will
you choose? y,
"Four things must be considered
her health, her hereditary qualities,
her education and her age.
Exclude from the .'anks the girl OF
poor health.
Don't marry a girl just because
she has a pretty figure and large, lus-
trous eyes and is 2 beautiful dancer
if at 20 she has only the mind of &
girl IL years old"
Among other suggestions he gave to
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1915-03-20

the men considering choosing a wife
We're: III
Don't marry an heiress-one with
more than $4,000 or $4,000. You
may. become unhappy with her and
her money.
Don't marry into a family where
there are traces of insanity or feeble,
mindedness.
Look up the health record OF her
parents and grand parents.
Avoid the daughter of a confirmed
alcoholic.
Don't marry a girl just because she
knows Latin and Greek. 1t is moth
ing against her if she has had a col
lege education, provided she knows
how to cook meals, make clothes and
care for children.
When he. came to that part OF his
lecture referring to the ages for mar
riage he turned to the blackboard,
wrote down some figures, and said:
According to The best scientific re.
search the figures on the board show
the relative ages at which men and
women should marry"
Here Is the table as he wrote 1t:
a man of q should marry a girl be-
tween 10 and q years.
1T q, one between Il and y.
At 80, one between go and 2S.
At 80. one between % and 80.
At 40, one between % and SO.
At A5, one between % and 80.
At so, one between 40 and 50.
At GO, one between As and 60.
At 70, one between so and 60.
At so, one between 60 and 70.
"Wllen q nan gets to be fifty years
old" he continued. "he should not ex-
pect to raise a family. ! advise such
a man to marry a widow with several,
children. #
"When a man of sixty or more mar
ries it is only for the purpose of hav-
ing a nurse during his declining years.
It is unfair for him to marry any one
younger than himself. He should
marry a childless widow or an old
maid" {
