WILSON ON NEUTRALITY
1sTRAMIRs CONSTITUTION THE usA. NO. 3

'.t &t ..' - =
No one reading President Wilson's
address at the annual luncheon of
the Associated Press in New York
will fail to be impressed by the clear
mind, the deep humility and the
high purpose of the nations chief
magistrate. He made. a plea for
the cooperation of the press in help
ing him to discharge his duty under
heavy responsibilities, a plea for
truth that the American people may
not be misled, and a plea for the
p lrest patriotism that we may avoid
unnecess ENHANCEMENT in Il e
worlds troubles and that we may
be in position, when the time comes,
to be of service to humanity and
civilization in the climax of this
period of trial and struggle.
The president touched with fine
patience upon the Turtle Bay incl
dent. I'VE ought not to deal in
stuff of that kind the President
sid. I'VE ought not to permit
things of that sort to usury the cleo
trical energy of the wires, because
its energy is maligh, its energy is
not for the truth, energy is for mis-
chief"
A certain class Of newspapers pub
lished the news from Turtle Bey"
in such a way as to make Il appear
that Japan was trying to establish a
naval base ! at this Isolated SPOT on
the Lower California coast. They
even went so far as to state that the
waters of the bag, had been mined,
that the Japanese were landing guns
and stores and were preparing to
fortify the place, the Inference being
that it was to be usetfa a bsse of
operations against thei United States.
This news as the President bluntly
stated, turned out, to be a falsehood.

these shores.us There was, not The
least foundation OF tiuth inthe re-

Mr.. Wilson is right in saying that
stories of this kind are nlischievous
and should not be given circulation
without the fullest investigation and
a thorough niowiedgeof the facts.
Only hair-brained newspaper owners,
reckless Of all consequences, will
seek to poison the public mind in
this way. ss,

The latest reports from Mexico indicate
that Villa is getting the worst of it and that
mis- army is in full retreat. The defeat of
Villa will go long way toward securing
peace in Mexico, and will clarity the situa-
ton so far as the United States is concerned.

About Zxnn7i9ratiOn

A warm discussion has resulted from a
proposal to bring into Louisiana japanese
colonists. 1t seems that certain land specu-
lators have had on foot project to locate
one or more colonies in South Louisiana, and
that the matter has been bitterly opposed
is evidenced by the numerous letters Of pro-
test that have appeared of late in the press
of the State
1t is contended that the land spectators
have nothing in view further than to make
profit on sales and that they have little
regard for the future welfare of the State.
There can be no doubt that the settling of
thrifty japanese on our productive lands
would have the effect of temporarily improv-
ing land values, but there can be- less
doubt of the evils and disadvantages that
will ultimately follow such policy. .,.
The discussion brings to mind aquestion
connected with land SPECTATORS that it
may be well to express. No set Of men
have the power to accomplish more for the
State than the real estate dealers, wEo can
use their honest endeavors to fill the State
with substantial immigrants. On the other
hand, no legitimate vocation has been so
much abused in Louisiana as has been that
of land dealing. The abuse we refer to is:
First; bringing to Louisiana immigrants,
and selling them lands without regard to
the ability of the prospective homeseeker to
make living on farm. Men from all
walks of life, BARRIERS, tailors, saloon-keep-
|ers, draymen, and others, who have. no
farm training, are sold lands; induced per-
haps to invest the last penny in business
Of which they have no knowledge whatever.
Men of this type can accomplish nothing on
a farm, and their failure is sure and quick.
Second; these men buy through spectators
who charge them big profits and often palm
off on them land of poor quality. The re-
suit or this abuse is that Louisiana gets a
bad reputation, because mercenary dealers
have sold land to settlers utterly incapable
of working it. We have the finest lands in
the world, capable of producing more to the
acre than any other section of the Union,
but this productivity depends on the ex-
perience and intelligence ct the worker.
Whenever homeseeker, without practical
farming experience, buys land, the chances
are that he will make failure. This fail
ure will be charged to the State. If the
land is sold at exhorbitant prices, the pur-
chasers will sooner or later, find it out and
dissatisfaction is sure to follow. We have
room for men in all vocations and the latch
string is always outside the door, but we
think it bad policy to encourage them in
such impossible undertakings. The real
estate dealers can do great service to the
State by inducing only practical farmers to
invest in our lands. This service can be
augmented by them if they will confine
their representations to actual facts and re-
frain from holding out that Louisiana is al
land that will fill the horn of plenty for the
holder whether he has had experience or;
not. Well directed effort will accomplish
wonders in Louisiana, but the man VINO
expects to get along here must have it in
stock. He can get by no other way.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, is responsible
for the statement that Theadore Roosevelt
WI get back into the Republican party in
the next campaign. But he says that Mr.
Roosevelt insists that the platform must be
;sanely progressive. If that be true, upon
what grounds can the ex-president get
back. TO join a party with a sanely pro-
nveesive platform, would look like stultif-
1cetion in Mr.. Roosevelt. Men with the
interest of the country at heart, will learn
of Mr.. Roosevelt's decision with regret.

Full tickets headed by Bull Moorers
were elected in the recent municipal cleo
tons held in the towns OF ThibOdeaux and
Loreauville in southern Louisiana. These
elections go to show what dependence can
be placed in the assertions leaders of this
party that their political activity would be
confined to national issues. When the pro-
gressives were being organized in this state,
the assertion was frequently made that ma
6onal issues alone would be considered and
that local politics would play no part in the
plans OF the new party. At same time there
was discussed the possibility of the return
OF the negro to politics in the event that two
strong parties were organized in this state.
The progressives made strong assertions re-
pudiating the idea that they would ever
affiliate with the negroes. We hope that
tais pledge will be kept, but there is strong
likelihood that fractional differences will
Y timately bring the negro to thefront again.
We have only to wait for close political
contest to witness such condition. So far
~ progreasives have kept their skirts clear
q this proposition; and we hope that they

In an address before tie Association of
Commerce in New Orleans the other day
Senator Ransdell urged closer business rela-
tons between the city and the country.
Senator Ransdell's reference to this subject
was timely, and it would be we'll for the
business men of the city to take to heart the
profered advice. New Orleans in particular
can give heed to the subject, for it is now
generally conceded that this city is not en-
joying the same proportion of country busi-
ness that she enjoyed in the past. There is
some reason for this change. and it may be
well for the business men to investigate the
cause. Making rough guess, we doubt if
New Orleans gets from this parish more than
one fourth of the business that she formerly
enjoyed. This condition works to the de-
triment of both country and city and better
relations should be re-established.

Bar Harbor Hotel Proiect.

bar hArD0r hOtel trO1ect.
Concerning the plan for building big
hotel at Bar Harbor, which was upset by
the railroad finance excitement, the Maine
Central railroad in 9 pamphlet giving a
history OF its capitalization, says:
Following the policy adopted by this
company for the development of summer
business in the State, through the erection
and operation of first-class hotels, it pur-
chased at various times in 1912-19i3, real
estate and hotel property in Bar Harbor,
at net cost o: 255,31aT.
'sThis land was purchased for the pur-
pose of securing q site for a large hotel,
and was admirably adapted for such pur-
pose, being in close proximity to the Bar
Harbor terminals. 1t was believed that q
large summer traffic could be developed in
this vicinity which would give additional
business to the Maine Central railroad and
stimulate largely the general summer
business on Mount Desert Island and in
the surrounding towns.
1.-THE plan for the immediate develop
ment of this property by the railroad COM
pany has been abandoned, but the value
OF the property for the purposes for which
it was purchased still remains, and it is
being held by the company with a view
to working out some satisfactory plan
under W hich hotel of the character de-
manded ny present and probable future
conditions, will be built and operated"

Senator Borah, in a speech before the
Senate last week attacking the admins
tration's Mexican policy, voiced the mind
OF every red blooded American when he
said: 81 am DESTROYS Of peace with
Mexico; want no war; and 1 know we
shall never take any part OF the territory
OF that republic, but above and beyond
that and more important to my mind is
the fact that we should at least protect
our own citizenship, securing our women
against ravishment and murder at the
hand OF those ferocious men who prey
upon our nationals wherever they find
them in their territory. There are some
things which are dearer to me than peace.
The mistreatment OF American citizens in
Mexico is due to the fact that there has
passed into the Mexican mind q firm be-
lief that we will not protect our citizens,
and say whatever criticism shall come to
me from those who love peace more than
they love honor, that the flag which will
not protect its people is 9 dirty rag that
contaminstes the air in which it floats.
We cannot have peace, we cannot have
honor unless We are prepared to protect
our own citizens, and believe, verify be-
heve, that we may do SO and still have no
war with Mexico"
