in connection with Villa or other
bandits in Mexico, have arranged a
spectacular attack to be made either
upon some part of the American

munity on the border between now
and the date of the election for the
purpose Of turning the tide of senti-
ment against the policy, which the
administration has adopted for the
protection of the border.

that the bandit forces operating at
the present time in Mexico are being
paid in silver coin. ILL.,. 5A
Full particulars have been given
to General Funston and General

LAST WAR U. S. CAN
AVOID, SAYS WILSON
President Asserts THE Busi-
ness Of Neutrality Is
Over"
POSITION is INToLERABLE

Cincinnati, o., Oct. 26.-Taking ad.
vantage OF a strenuous visit to Cincin-
natl to discuss the relation of the
United States to the European war
President Wilson today declared that
This Is the last war that involves the
world that the United States can keep
out Of"
He gave as his reason the belief
that the business OF neutrality Is
over" and that war, now has such d
scale that the position of neutrals
sooner or later becomes intolerablc." !"
He added that the nations of the
world must get together and say mo
body can hereafter be neutral as re-
spects the disturbances ,of the WORLDS
peace for an object which the worlds
opinion cannot sanction"
Mr.. Wilson said the United States
should be ready to use Its physical
force if necessary to assist in pre-
venting war.
The president flatly denied repub-
lican claims that as at present con-
stituted the United States was un-
prepared to meet the opposition Of
Europe. He spoke of the anti
dumping legislation passed by con-
gress.
Prosperity Not Due to War.
Denying that the present prosper
ity of the United States is due to the
European war, President Wilson here
today declared there is no ground for
fear that Europe during the war is
storing up goods to dump on mar
kets in America after the war.
I'VE have means OF defense and
means of offensive said the presi-,
dent. "We are not helpless. We are
not blind"
The president said America should
feel sympathy for Europe, not fear
He spoke of the SILLY Imagination"
Of men who say Europe is preparing
for an economic war on the United
States.
In his speech before the Women's
City club here President Wilson, ad-
dressing the women as fellow citi-
zens," said he could speak to women
on public questions Just as he could
speak to men. He said he approved
Of city clubs because they helped to
build up community opinion and as
sisted to make good cities.
After all,' he said, "the real prob
lem before the nation is to make
of it, | am very glad
during this campaign to discuss these
.hings, which have no connection with
The campaign.
Economic War improbable.
II have been distressed over some
:hings some people have said would
ollow the European war. 1t has
,een said that economic war would
ollow this war of arms. |
In war respect is engendered. It'll
would be very sad if hatreds were
,ngendered. 1t has been predicted
hat after the war the United States
would be overwhelmed by Europe. |
This is not true"
He pointed out how workmen in
europe are being used up.
The business of destruction in
europe is going on and the financial
osses are enormous. These gentle
men tell us that these nations which
re bending all their efforts in fight
ng are collecting great quantities of
'oods to dump on American markets
fter the war.
We ought not turn towards these
Iations in fear, but in sympathy.

SOUTH CAROLINA STATESMEN

Congressman Whaley, of South
Carolina, in an able speech in
Congress upon the Rural Credit
and other Legislation favorable to
farmers said that more import
ant legislation has been enacted
during the past three years in
the interest of agriculture than
during any fifty years com bined
in the history of the country.
Referring to Hon. Asbury F.
Levers cotton future bill he
said when the act went into eff.
feet it resulted in the raising of
the price of cotton nearly 5000
bale, but recently a New York
Judge declared the act unc0nsti
tutiOnal upon technical grounds.
The agricultural bill this year re.
enactS the cotton future bill so
as to meet the objection of this
decision. The chairman of the
Federal Reserve Board. Hon. w.

clares that the act was one Of the

then this genial Irishman added

cy in South Carolina in 1920"
In the State, SOP white teach
ers are employed in the public
schools. If, therefore, each
teacher will redeem from illit-
eracy one white man and one
white woman each summer, uh-
til the end of the period this
would account for over 10000.
The problem N white IF illiteracy at

the winter the teachers could

Night schools have already

doubtless be willing to le arm.
That has been monstrated.

discussion along these lines,

Where Mail Order
Business Thrives Best

Now and thea, and quite fre.
quently, mnch complaint is
heard about mail order houses
taking our money. There will
always be some mail order busi-
ness, for in the great field of
merchandise there are many art
ioles which may not be found in
every community. There are SO
many hundreds of things that
people will buy when their at
tention is called to them that 10
local merchant can anticipate
the fact and have the goods on
hand. 1t would not pay him to
have them for the irregular de-
mand. But the great msrchan-
disc staples in every line can
always be supplied by local mer-
chants and the people will buy
from them in preference to
mail order houses if the local
merchants do their part. Mere
ly cussing the mail order
houses gets nowhere. Any town
which has bunch OF live mer-
chants who are alert to attract
their natural trade will not be
troubled much by mail order
houses. Mr.. Rosenfield of Sears
Roebuck & 90. is said to have
stated at recent meeting
of the American Ad. Club shat
his company makes careful
survey of the county to ascer
I tain what com munities are dead
on the advertising proposition
and that where local merchants
are not advertising in their
town papers. Right there is sent
a flood of Sears-Roehu buck cata.
logues. He said, 1T always
brings results far in excess OF
the same efforts put forth in
territory where tie local mer.
chants use their newspapers."-
