WILSON KISSED THE HAND
RED WITH AMERICAN
BLOOD.

President Wilson explicitly
shows that the Carranzistas, not
once but repeatedly, made at
tacks on American towns, and
killed American citizens, and
mutilated them in September,
1915. Yet on october 18th, 1915,
less than a month later, this
same President Wilson, through
his same Secretary Of State,
formally announced to Carran-
za's agent that it was his pleas
ure" to take the opportunity "of
extending recognition to the de
facto government of Mexico, of
which General Venustiano Car
rama is the chief executive"
President Wilson thus recog-
nized the government which, his
own Secretary of State declares,
had been less than a month pre-
viOusly engaged in repeated
assaults upon Americans, and in
the invasion of American soil.
the government at whose head
was General Carranza, who, less
than two months previously, on
August End, 1915, had contempt
uously refused to pay any heed
to any representations of Presi-
dent Wilson on behalf of media
tion. saying that under no
consideration would | permit In
reference in the internal affairs
of Mexico" President Wilson
did not merely kiss the hand
that slapped him in the face. He
kissed that hand when it was
red with the blood of American
men. women and children, who
had been murdered and mutilat-
ed with. as President Wilson,
through his Secretary of State,
says, ruthless brutality. From
the speech of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis
ton, Maine, in behalf of Charles

THE NEUTRALITY
OF PONTIUS PLATE.

But as soon as the need for
deeds arose. Mr.. Wilson forgot
all about "the principle he held
dear" He promptly announced
that we should be neutral in
fact as well as in name, in thought
as well as In action" between
the small, weak, unoffending ma
ton and the large, strong nation
which was robbing it of its SOW

neutrality has been compared TO
the neutrality of Pontius Plate.

WILSON'S iGNOBLE, UNSUc-
CESSFUL LITTLE WARS.

President Wilson tok Vera
Cruz in 1914, as we were official
ly informed at the time, to get
a salute for the flag, and to
prevent the shipment of arms
into Mexico. He did not get his
salute. He did not prevent the
shipment of arms. But several
hundred men were killed or
wounded; and then he brought
the army home without achiev-
ing either object. President
Wilson sent an army into Mexico
in 1916, as we were informed
at the time, to get Villa dead
or alive" They did not get him
dead. They did not get him
alive. Again several hundred
men were killed and wounded.
Again President Wilson is bring
ing the army home without
achieving his object. OF course
it is a mere play upon words
to say that these were not
wars" They were wars, and
nothing else; ianoble, pointless,
unsuccessful little wars; but
wars. They cost millions of dol
lars and hundreds of lives,
squandered to no purpose; they
accomplished nothing; but they
were wars.-F rom the speech of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, deIv-
cred at Lewiston, Maine, in be-
half Of Charles E. Hughes.

Charles e. Hughes cannot get so far
away from Washington that the men
in charge of the chariot of government
there do not feel the jolting of his
criticisms. In fact, the Democratic
leaders at the capital city show symp-
toms of sea-sickness from the way in
which the ex-iustice of the Supreme
court has shaken them up. Mr..
Hughes is pursuing the only proper
method, which is first to take the
deadwood out of the way so that the
path to righteous and propitious gov
eminent may be made clear.

Editorial Comments.

The Democrats continue TO ignore
Mr.. Hughes speeches to the extent
that all they do is to sputter and gasp.
Let II be conceded there are really
strong grounds for the opinion that
President Wilson may carry Texas
next November. If these indications
are taken at their full worth, some
enthusiasts will soon be going out to
bet that the tide will sweep on until
Mississippi and Alabama are also en-
rolled in the Democratic column.
Many big Democrats willing and
ready to speak for Wilson are care
full that their money shall not say any
thing on his side.
President Wilson says he is utter
ly Indifferent as to his reelection.
Perhaps that explains a good many
things nobody has heretofore been
able to understand.
Help me, Cassius. or I sink! 7" For
"Cassius" read Congress"
The notion seems to be that the
Democratic national chairman is claim-
ing more than he will get, but not any
more than he will need.
As further evidence that he is warm
hearted and intensely human, Mr.
Hughes likes apple pie.
No man is going to be elected-or
re-elected-to high office by votes
gained from States rights declara-
lions this late in the game. The
States rights question was settled
some fifty years ago to the evident
satisfaction of considerable major
ity.-Kansas City Star.

mostly boxed, except some furni-
ture. When the boxes we're op-
ened articles were recognized be-
longing to nearly every one in
town-this was in the line of
repair tools, 1t would seem from
what good responsible people
claim that Bergman was a regu-
lar p%ack-rat, taking things when
ever getting the opportunity, and
had, after getting them all toge-
Their, collected a very good kit of
tools.
Bergman, just before leaving
town, settled up his account at
the bank and then issued a check
to Mr.. Hays at the drug store,
owing a sum there, requesting the
privilege of dating the check
ahead as he would not have mon
ey in the bank until that time.
Of course when the date rolled
around Bergman was gone and
the check was found to be worth
less. People should railroad" a
man like that out of every COM
munity in which he attempts to
stop. There is strong talk here
of getting him back and dealing
with him according to law or in
other manners fitting his case.

Predictions.

"The war will end on July 26,
1916. On October IL, 1916, San
Francisco will be bombarded and
destroyed by a hostile fleet"
Gunnery Sergeant Thomas G..
S%terrett, United States Marine
Corps, makes this dire prophecy
not from any advance military
knowledge, but from the fact that
he is a seventh son of a seventh
son with no girls between, and
his comrades in the Marine Corps
think him something of a forecas-
ter. Sterrett first gained fame
when, in 1892, he predicted a new
railway station for Kansas City.
In 1912, 1918, 1914 aud 1915, he
foretold with unerriug accuracy
the overflow of the Allegheny's
banks and the flooding of Pitts
burgh's downtown section.
Abbreviated Trilby, a new av-
enue of escape from the drafting
