rs FOR WILSON
his Mexican policy, with all it's ques-
uOnable mistakes, he stood always
against war for aggression" and
war for the protection of private
interests"
In his painful and difficult negotia-
lions with the European beIligerents
he has not adopted the cheap policy
OF 'blutting," nor has he involved us
in war. He has endeavored through
out to stand for constructive interna-
tlonahsn. His declaration at the
meeting of the League to Enforce
Peace, that he believes it to be Amer
1ca's obligation to lead in the estab-
ishment of an international organi-
cation for the preservation of the
worlds peace marks a new departure
in American diplomacy.
Mr.. Wilson's legislative program is
remarkable. The rural credits law
and the federal reserve act, excellent
as know them to be, are not meas
ures the necessity for which have
learned from my own experience.
The need for a workman's compen-
sation act, however, is brought home
to me almost daily. Mr.. Wilson'S
leadership has given up a law cover
ing the federal service. He has re-
cognized through the amendment Of
the antitrust act that labor is not a
commodity.
The child labor law, which Mr..
Beverage urged a Republican con-
gress to pass five or six years ago,
should win for Mr.. Wilson the sup
port of all women who have worked
for its passage in state and nation
for many years. 1t is the entering
wedge in national legislation looking
toward the establishment of social
and industrial justice" for which we

MARY MCDOWELL OF s
TELLS WHY SHI
Mary Mcdowell of the University
of Chicago settlement, back of the
yards" joined the Wilson Ihdepen-
dence league today. AS a worker for
the minimum wage laws, 8-hour day,
city sanitation, Miss Mcdowell is
known in illinois and Chicago to
thousands. Four years ago she was
a live, fighting Progressive hacker of
Roosevelt. She tells here why she's
for Wilson now:
BY Mary Mcdowell
I am going to cast my first presi-
Dental vote for Mr.. WilsOn-nOt be-
cause l am a Democrat, but because
1 am an indepndent-an this is
time to forget parties.
I have come to this conclusion
after long consideration, cOnsulta-
ton and reading of papers mostly
critical of Wilson policies.
1 have considered the mistakes
and plumbers" and balanced them
with his accomplishments, some of
which seem to me remarkable.
No president since Lincoln has had
such tremendous problems thrust
at him from every angle; many de-
cisiOns had to be made without pre-
cedents. He made some mistakes.
He proved himself human. :.
But there was one supreme and ir-
recoverable mistake Mr.. Wilson did
not make, and for this I give him my
vote. Mr.. Wilson did not pick Mex
leo when it was ripe for our pick !
ing" South America, Europe and |
Mexico needed to have proof given |
them that as a nation we were not !
for aggression, although a group |
among us is working all the time for |
preparedness for this purpose.

The House of Representatives
in Washington has dismissed the
protest against Congressman
Whaley and declared Mr.. Wha-
ley elected Congressman from
this district. The protest was
made by the negro Aaron Prio-
leau, who makes a protest after
every regular election in this dis
trict and has been doing so for a
number Of years. We have al
ways understood that the gov
ernment allows $1,000 for the
protestantin such matters, and
in this way the Berkley negro
manages to make an average sal

IS IT ANOTHER TRICK ?

A great many people view
Carranza's present role of ''good
Indian" with suspicion, and with
reason.
Carranza is totte:iug on his
throne. His power is on the
wane. His army is disgruntled
and his generals are dissatisfied
ard defiant.
And there's a reason.
The self-styled first chief IS
out Of money. and without money
or loot or the prospect thereof
the Mexican does not fight. He
prefers to loll aroand in the sun
and roll cigarettes.
There appears to be but orc
source from which the Mexican
government can secure the hnan-
| icial assistance of which it stands
so distressingly in need. That is
from the United States. And we,
strangely enough, seem to be
Wiling to furnish the gold that
enable them to regain their posi-
ton and ultimately turn their
guns against Us again.
No sooner had Carranza an
nounced his desire to re open
diplomatic relations with Wash
Sington that the information was
allowed to filter out that he was
in the market for a big loan, and
American fnanciers Immediate
ly pricked up their arsin antic-
ipation of another slice of inter
est "bacon." Their patriotism
appears to begin at one end OF
the pocketbook and end at the
other.
The Mexican is an adept at
playing good Indian when he
has something to gam, and tue
first chief greatly desires Amer,
tican gold.
He may get it, but if he does
we will probably soon be receiv'
| ling bullets in return for it in
lstead of interest money.
Keep both eyes on the good
Indian, and don't let him come
| too close to you in the dark.

ONE BIRD AT A TIME.

Some people start life by try
ing to kill two birds with one
stone nd 60 down to their
graves without having bagged
either one.
It is fatal mistake that is Of
ten made.
The young man begins his
career and is naturally anxious
to get ahead.
There are two ways that are
commonly used to accomplish
this end. The one is to do one
thing at a time and do it we'll.
The man who does this advances
steadily, if at times slowly, but
in the end he attains the goal
he seeks. Patience and energy
and faithfulneSS are rewarded
by success. The other is impa-
tient and wants to 60 forward
by leaps and bounds. He wants
to kill two birds with one stone.
Sometimes he wants to bag a
dozen at one throw. AS a result,
objects are confused, his aim is
too quick and careless, and ne
scores more misses than hits.
This is unsatisfactory to the
employer and in time such a
man generally finds himself look
ing for another job.
The wise employer is an ex-
cellent Judge of men. 1t is a
part of his business to be such,
and 1T is because Of his ability
to gauge the capacity of his men
that he succeeds in life.
He wants no drones, and the
two bird man does not appeal to
him. He wants faithfulness,
efficiency and steadiness, and
that can only be secured by Sc
lecting the man who does one
thing at a time and does it we'll.
It is a lesson every young man
should learn on the threshold OF
life.

We fully realize the misfortune that betell us
during the recent storm to our crops, and most
especially, the tobacco industry, for what looked
to be beautiful prospect few days ago, is now
mass Of ruins. Every effort will be made by
our local warehousemen to get the highest prices
for what is left of this crop. In 1914 Manning led
the State for high prices and in 1915, we led on
the opening sale In 1916 we hope to do still bet

Warehouse, can do for you These gentlemen
have worked hard for the farmers and the Man
ming market for years, and while they know that
the crop is very short now, and to make expenses
will be hard task, they will not give up but will
open their warehouses on schedule time sacrl-
ficing their money and labors to accommodate the
people. Bring your tobacco to Manning next
Tuesday and show your appreciation OF the
efforts this market is making.
In this connection, we extend our sympathy
to everybody that was hurt by this storm, but
don't let us give up take on fresh grip and go
to work, doing the best we can, at the same time
give thanks for what we have left.
