Who constitute the political
ring in Polk county? If there is
such thing, it should be broken
up; if there is not such thing, it
should not be advertised to the
world that Polk county is in the
hands of a bunch of thieves and
grafters. People don't want to come
into a locality whose own people
give it such reputation. Our Sher-
If, our County Judge, our Senator
and beth our Representatives are
all Lakeland men. They have been
regarded as pretty decent sort OF
men for many years. Are they mem
bers of this "ring?" Many new of
ficials were elected at the recent
election. Do they automatically
become members of this awful
ring" which we have been living
and prospering with all these years
without knowing it? There are about
e dozen good, patriotic newspapers
In Polk county. Yet none of them
ever discovered anything about this
ring" Who. what or where Is It?

WILSON FLExIBILITY.

We do not see why there should
have been any stir in the senate over
the discovery that President Wilson
has completely reversed himself in
the matter of the proposed child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr.. Wilson described this legis-
lation in his Constitutional Govern
ment" as unconstitutional, an "obv1-
ous.y absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost boun-
daries of reasonable and honest In
ference" and making it possible, II
sustained, for congress to leg1slate
over every particular OF the indus
trial organization and action OF the
country" That, we must confess, has
also been the Evening Posts view.
But the Evening Post and Senator
Borah are old fogies. dating back to
the time when it was the custom to
have fixed beliefs and principles and
stick to them. The senator has evil
IDENTIFY not read Mr. Wilson's letter In
explaining his change of front on the
tariff commission-that 1t is only

Wilson is obviously one of the broad

produced, for he has changed his

any fear of inconsistency.-New York

TRUE tNWARDNESS OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the Spring of 1914, occur
red the capture Of Vera Cruz.
Men from one of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our Admiral de-
manded a salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking au,
thority TO use the armed forces
of the United States. Without
waiting for the passage of the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that a shipload
of ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
in which nineteen Americans
and over a hundred Mexicans
were killed. This, of course,
was war. Our dead soldiers
were praised for dying like
heroes in war of service.
Later, we retired from Vera
Cruz, giving up this noble war
fare. We had not obtained the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained repara-
ton for affronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port, and its
cargo was delivered to Huerta
without interference. Recently
the naked truth was admitted
by a Cabinet officer. We are
now informed that I'VE did not
go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta
to salute the fiag." We are
told that we went there ITO
show Mexico that we were in
earnest in our demand that
Huerta must 60" That Is, we
seized Vera Cruz TO depose
Huerta. The question Of the
salute was a mere pretext.-

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to
reduce the cost of living. This
they have failed to do; but they
did reduce the opportunities of
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed
In this country under the new
tariff prior to the outbreak of
the war. Production had de-
creased, business was anguish
ing, new enterprises were not
undertaken, instead Of expan-
sion there was curtailment, and
our streets were filed with the
unemployed. What ground is
there for expecting better con-
ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus of the war has spent
its force and our industries and
working-men are exposed to the
competition Of an energized Eu-
rope?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.

acceptance.
