THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
AN EDITORIAL APPRAISAL

President Wilson's speech Of
acceptance was comprehensive,
frank and direct.
1t was the utteranee of man
and political party conscious Of
the honesty of past endeavors and
confident of ability to cope with
whatever problems the future might
have in store.
No President has ever been
called upon to face more serious
conditions than has Mr.. Wilson. He
has met them with patience and de-
votion that have won the respect and
admiration of the world.
With domestic legislation to di-
rect, giving the relief from eco
nomic abuses that the country's well
fare demanded, with a long list of
promises to fulfill, the great war that
burst upon the world threatened to
check him in his efforts and to in
volye the nation in the disasters that
are affecting almost every nation of
the old world.
How he has brought the country
through it all, with honor and with
astounding prosperity, the accept
ance speech succinctly and modestly
tells.
In three and half years the coun-
try has been set Alright, every class
protected in it's liberties and it's OPP
portunities, the whole commercial
system set in order, with prosperity
Astounding. And reason has never
abandoned its throne in all of the
country's perplexities.
The speech was a message to the
people of all the world; it was
notice to the world that this country
is big enough to maintain it's honor
and to keep out of war, and at the
same time big enough to regulate its
domestic conditions.
The speech was no apology, no
defense, no complaint. 1t was a
speech that all men and women
should read to learn what the
country has really been doing.

FOR "
PEACE
PREPAREDNESS
and
PROSPERITY
PARTY SUFFRAGE RECORDS
Only Democratic congressman Appeal
ed for Action.

Congressman G. G. Dill, of Wash
ingtOn, cites the records of the COM
mittee hearings on suffrage in Con-
gress to prove that ''the only Congress-
men who have gone before the Judi
ciary Committee of Congress this year
to ask that a suffrage amendment be
voted upon have been Democratic
members" He adds that mo others
have appeared to ask for considera-
ton Of the measure. That is, I think,
sufficient answer to any claim that
the Democratic Party opposed Woman
Suffrage"
This record need only be supple
mented with the personal voting his
tory Of the rival Presidential candi-
dates to show who is the real friend
of suffrage. President Wilson made
two trips from Washington to New
Jersey to register and vote for Woman
Suffrage when it was submitted in his
State. Candidate Hughes did not take
the trouble to register or to vote the
same STANDARDIZATION the suffrage
amendment was submitted in his
state.

MEXICO is COMING BACK.
Saved From Conquest, 1t Is Working
Out Its Own Destiny,


Encouraging news continues to
come from Mexico, and the TRADES
of President Wilson's critics grow
tanner all the while. Mexico has seen
much misfortune, has borne many
trials, has experienced many tragedies,
but there is q buoyancy to the present
situation that gives cheer to friends
of that long-suffering republic.
Americans, coming from that cOun-
try, bring optimistic assurances. They
declare that there is much better gov
eminent there than for many years,
that Carranza money is increasing in
value, that business is picking up and
that law is being respected.
The New York Evening Sun, Re-
publican newspaper, which usually
criticises everything President Will
son does, is compelled to recognize the
facts, telegraphed from San Antonio,
Texas, by William G. Shepherd, war
correspondent of the United Press,
who has been one of the keeneSt OBJ
servers of conditions both in Europe
and Mexico. Mr.. Shepherd, back from
a long service abroad, was sent re-
Gently to the Mexican border. After
a careful survey he reported conclu-
sions which the Sun displays under
the heading: Mexico Coming Back;
Business Grows Brisk-Confidence in
Carranza Increases and Things Look
Up In part Mr.. Shepherd says:
Mexico is coming back. It's not
a dead rubber nation; it's got a
bounce in it. A summary of the
news from the heart of Mexico,
gathered in the last three weeks
along the border from Americans
incoming from Mexico, shows be-
yond doubt that conditions are
improving, confidence in Carranza
is growing, the situation is gain
ing buoyancy, CarranZa money is
| gaining in value and business is
picking up.

WILSON A PROGRESSIVE
BEFORE PARTY WAS BORN

Eighteen months before the
birth Of the Progressive Party,
Woodrow Wilson, then Cover
nor Of New Jersey, gave this
definition Of a Progressive and
so classified himself in an ad-
dress before the Kansas Society
of New York, January %, 1911:
"By Radical understand
one who goes too far, by
Conservative one who does
not go far enough; by Re-
dictionary one who won't
go at all. suppose | must
be a Progressive, which
take to be one who insists
on recognizing new facts,
adjusting policies to facts
and circumstances as they
arise"
Under Democratic influences
during the SiX-year period since
standpatiSm was overthrow in
the House of Representative in
1910, ninety per cent of the pro-
gram of reform advocated by
the Progressive Party has been
enacted into law. Invisible
government" which is now max
ing desperate efforts to "come
back has been driven from
power under President Wilson's
administration and will have no
place in Washington so long as
he is in the White House.
