"Mowever, in one case Mr.. Wilson
asserted himself. Hayti had not be-
haved towards US Tooth part as badly
as Mexico, nor one-tenth as badly as
Germany; but Hayti had neither army
nor navy, Hayti did not even have
arms and ammunition, and therefore
President Wilson was not too proud
OF fight Hayti. He has taught the
world that no nation which is small
enough to be helpless can insult us
with impunity. Are you proud of the
record, you Americans OF Kentucky,
YOU whose fathers were once not too
proud to fightl Mr.. Wilson has kept
us out of war forsooth! Why, on
our eastern coast war now grins at
us from just outside the three-mile
limit, and on our southern border war
has been waged on US within our own
territory again and again by bands of
armed invaders during the last three
years.
an his great book on international
law, Vattel defines war as the effort
to assert rights by violence. The
Mexicans, during Mr.. Wilson's term,
have killed more Americans than the
Spaniards killed in the Spanish war.
We have now gathered on the Mexi-
can border, and have, kept there for
three months, far larger army than
the combined armies that took Cuba
and the Philippines from the
Spaniards-and throw in ali the men
on the American squadrons. There
are down on the Mexican border at
present more than ten times as many
men as were in Mexico under Scott
and Taylor combined in our war with
Mexico. We have had all the blood
shed and expense of war. But We
have not secured what follows wise,
righteous and manful war-peace." T

in the morning kept many from going
down for the full day but the afternoon
was pleasant. Various games and
sports were enjoyed heartily and the
big baskets of food did not fail to do
