WHAT ABOUT MEXICO?

President Wilson spoke in Indiana
polls Thursday, delivering one of his
alleged "non-partIsan" addresses, n
which he defended the acts OF his adj
ministration, in the course OF which,
however, he never once referred 10 its
performance towards Mexico. Two
years ago in the same city he did have
something TO say on the Mexican SIT
uation. Speaking Of the references
made TO his policy Of "watchful wait
ing" he said that every people has The
right TO determine its own form of gov
eminent, and added these significant
words: 1T is none Of my business, ADD
it Is none Of your business, how long
they take in determining it. 1t is none
of my business, and it is none OF yours,
how they go about the business. The
country is theirs. The government is
theirs. The liberty, if they can get it.
and Godspeed them in getting it. is
theirs. And so far as my influence
goes while am President nobody shall
interfere with them
1t was not long after this pompOus
declaration that President Wilson re-
versed himself in the most radical

the competition from abroad, from
Canada, from Russia and the Argcn-
tine. American farmers had better buy
their Fords now, while the war profits
are being enjoyed for when the war is
over it is dollars to doughnuts that
something will drop and that heavily.
That the high price for wheat now
prevailing is because Of foreign con-
ditions is beyond controversy. The
drought in Argentina has something to
do with it, but the principal cause is
the European war. A western paper
recently carried a dispatch from Chi
cago stating that one Of the larger
houses at Chicago purchased 100000
bushels OF December wheat on for
eign order. Other houses doubtless ex-
ecuted large orders at Chicago, and
the other markets Of the country. This
buying is a reflection on existing con-
ditions 1t shows that Great Britain
and her allies must look 10 US for
wheat and other bread stuffs.

A QUESTION FOR FARMERS

After the war, what? That is one OF
the great issues in this campaign, in
yolving the re-establishmnnt OF mo
protective tariff, which the Democrats
are persistently evading. When the
great conflict in Europe is over, as it
must be soon, and the millions Of farm
ers and farmers sons now fighting
each other return TO the land and re-
sumo the cultivation Of wheat, barley,
oats and everything that grows, what
protection will the American farmer
get from the Underwood tariff? With
the closing Of the war there Will In

candidate. Had It. not been for the IN
fluenCe Of the United States there
would have been no lriaS candidacy,
because the Nicaraguan administration
did not care TO have one even as Il
puppet opposition.
Notwithstanding that the influence
of Washington made il possible for
Doctor lrias tc return to Nicaragua
and become 4 candidate for president,
he withdrew a week before election,
as an alleged protest against the IN
reference Of the United States. II
his supporters had been sufficiently
numerous to give him plurality, there
was no ground for assuming That the
United States would OBJECT 10 the
choice although Washington might not
relish the revival of the Zelayaistas.
But washington. with the marines IN
Managua, could have accommodated
itself to such result.
However. both the Diaz adminlsira-
ton and the Ielaya opposition candl-
date having chosen to withdraw, there
was no one else for whom the electors
could cast their votes. except General
Chamorro, and reasonable number
OF them seemed to have done 1t. The
opposition will still be able to oppose
the Chamorro administration. but 1t is

under the pretense that they had no
chance o put someone else in as pres

the government did win, but there
were occasions when ii was upset at
the polls because the opposition was

was defeated.
In Spain. the "retromiento," as they
call it, was not frequent. Like some
other things Spanish. which the Span-
iSh-American countries inherited from
the mother country, the practice was
carried to the extreme by them. 1t be-
came a habit. 1t is this habit which
the United States must overcome in
carrying out a policy which is intend
ed to develop popular government III
the backward Latin-American couu-
tries. Inevitably. it will itself form the
habit OF assuming greater responsible
ity for Latin-American political insti-
tutions.

Belated news regarding the Mic
aragua election shows that one Latin
American country has not made much
progress in adopting the election
methods OF the United States. Gen.
Chamorro was chosen president, and
that is a good thing for. Nicaragua,
because he understands the policy OF
the United States i'll helping the
Latin-American countries help them
selves, and is sympathetic to 1t. lie
also understands the needs OF his
own country.
But General Chamorro was chosen
without opposition at the polls. and
that was not a good thing. II Illus
trates one of the grave drawbacks to
Latin-American politics. 1t also illus
trates the lack OF a proper conception
Of popular government, which is 10
accept the verdict Of the polls.
1t would have been better If the
several groups in Nicaragua had de-
posted their ballots and abided by the
result. They did not deposit their
ballots, aud they are abiding by the
result only because the American
marines are still stationed at Man
aqua and the American minister is
acting as a monitor.
In the past, there has been reasons
why the opposition groups did not
vote III the elections. They knew
their votes would not be counted in
full. When Helaya was dictator he
sometimes complained ut the lack OF
interest shown in the election OF pres.
dent and members Of The national
assembly. General Zclaya mad Il
sense of humor, and his humor some
times took this form. He, himself
when out of power had not depended
on the verdict at the polls to get him
back. but had started revolutions
which usually were successful.
In the recent election in Nicaragua
there was nothing to justify the re,
fusal Of the various groups which
were opposed to General Chamorro to
Ico to the polls. The Diaz administra.
IN had its candidate. and he would
AVE received the full vote Of the
administration forces. But under the
oversight which the United States
was exercising, it was likely that only
the vote actually cast for the admin
istration candidate would be counted
Consequently, he withdrew.
The remnant Of Helaya's followers,
who grouped themselves under the
name Of liberals, recalled DR.. lrias
from exile. and named him as their

of commissions appointed to study and

How TO Dose Animals.

After thrusting a struggling porker
into a barrel and pouring his medicine
On and not in him, the amateur veter-
nary will do well to heed the following
suggestion for giving medicine to ami
mails which is printed in the current
issue of Farm and Fireside:
when fluid medicine is to be given
20 sheep, cattle, horses or swine, a
practical and simple form of drenching
tube can be made by taking piece of
rubber tubing one-half inch in diameter
and about three or four feet long. Affix
q piece of iron or brass tubing four to
six inches long at the other end.
When drenehing, insert the metal
tube into the animals mouth back as
far as the metal tube will reach, then
elevate the funnel end and allow the
drenching medicine to slowly pass into
the animals month. Care should be
taken not to raise the animals head
too high-just high enough to allow the
medicine to gradually flow back to the
back part of the mouth.
1.-The medicine can be checked II
flowing too fast by pinching the rubber
tube.
I'm most cases 1t is better to drench
the animal while standing, and in the
case OF sheep, IL the medicine Is given
in a standing position, the gasoline
remedy or similar worm remedies will
pass directly to the fourth stomach,
whereas IL the medicine is given when
the sheep is placed on It's launches or
In n sitting position the medicine has
been found to be less effective"
