because payment of some of the gov

later on. 1t will, however, require an

M'KlhLET'S WAR COST LESS
BlOODSHED THAN WILSON'S PEACE
BY Theodore Roosevelt.

Under President Mckinley we
had a war with Spain. Under
President Wilson we are assured
that we have had peace" with
Mexico. These are the words.
Now for the deeds. During the
war with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by the Spanlards
than have been killed by Mexi-
cans during the present peace"
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number Of Amer
leans have been .illed by
Mexicans during these years,
when We are officially Informed
that we have been at peace with
them, than were killed by the
Spaniards during our entire war
with Spain. Moreover when the
war with Spain was through, II
was through. But peace still con.
tinues To rage as furiOusly AS
ever In Mexico. Nor is this
all. The instant effect of the
outcome Of the war with Spain
was TO put IA stop to the dread
full butchery aud starvation In
Cuba and the Philippines, and
the entry of both Cuba and tlF
Philippines on career Of eight
cen years of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before In all their check
cred history. But during these
three years Of Mr.. Wilson's
peace" the Mexlcans them
selves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and
without lntermlssiOn and Mexi.
can women and children have
died by thOusands-probably by
scores Of thousands-Of starva-
ton, and Of the diseases incident
to starvation. In other words,
Mr.. McKlnley's war cost less
peace; and 1t reflected high hon
or on the American people;
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been one Of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and one OF ruin and blOOdshed
for the Mexicans.

were true-and some one must be

SO enthusiastically advocated before

What Would Hughes Have DOnel-
Certain Democratic papers-they arc
few in number-unable To devise de-
Tense of President Wilson's course in
the railway wage situation are de-
handing what Mr.. Hughes would
have done had he been President. And
Mr.. Hughes is making clear some Of
the things he would have done and
some that he would not. The first steI
that Mr.. Hughes, or indeed, any other
INTELLECTUALLY honest" man in the
White House would have done would
have been to strip the controversy OF
pretense and make plain to the pub
lie the fact that the railway employees
were not demanding an S-hour day at
all, but merely an increase of wages
Mr.. Wilson's defenders pretend to be-
lieve that public sentiment was with
the railway employees in the contro-
versy. If it was-and there is wide
room for doubt on the question-it was
because Mr. Wilson lent himself to the
scheme of the Brotherhoods to make
it appear that the railway men were
contending for an S-hour day, instead
of merely an increase of pay. Mr..
Hughes has made ii clear that Pres
dent who desired to be guided by pub
lie opinion would have first made clear
to the public the question at issue.
And he has also made ii clear that
no question of his own political well
fare would have tempted him to assist
in the deception of the public, or to
exert his influence to effect the de-
sired increase in compensation until
the facts had been investigated thor
oughly and the merits of the contro.
versy determined. Mr.. Hughes has
broadly intimated, too, that an EXecu-
tive who had shown a manly spirit
and a determination TO deal with both
the parties to the controversy and the
public in straightforward, upright
manner would have compelled a re-
spect from and acquired an influence
over the Brotherhoods which would
have induced them to await a fair
and impartial investigation of their
contentious. When the Brotherhoods
found the resident willing, on the eve
of the election, to be party to a
scheme to deceive the public. they
were hardly to be blamed If they dis
trusted the sincerity with which he
would have probed the merits of the
controversy after the election. Had
they been dealing with an honest. sin
cere man, who from the first had
sought the real merits of the contro-
versy, rather than to make political
capital for himself, they would have
had less reason for fearing TO trust
the care ftheir interests TO such in
yestigatlOn as he might direct.

Mr.. GOmpers' Pal-Senator Sherman

camp of organized labor, by his eX-
posture of the fact that Samuel Comp

Burleson, has amassed his fortune by
the use Of convict labor on his Texas
plantation. Mr.. Burleson employs con-
victs to the exclusion of free labor,

Burleson's overseers who had horse
whipped the unfortunate convict until
he died. The overseer was acquitted
on the ground that all the evidence

MANY SIGNBOARDS
ORDERED REMOVED
BAN PLACED ON WOODEN SIGNS
BY THE CITY AUTHORITIES
AND ACTION TAKEN TODAY
Must Comply With the City Ordinance
And the Rules of Board of
80. Fire Underwriters

| Street signs protruding over the
sidewalks in the business district
which do not come under the terms
of the city ordinance must be remov-
ed The ban on wooden signs has
gone into effect. Mayor Gibson today
issued orders to the police depart
ment to notify all business houses
whose signs we're not installed accord
ing to the terms of the city ordinance
that they must come down and the
chief was busy today carrying out the
orders.
Under the city ordinance no wood
en- sign attached to building is per-
mitted which protrudes over the side
walk 80 inches from building. Under
the ordinance only metal signs are
permitted which must be IL feet above
the sidewalk and they may extend
over the full length of the sidewalk,
but electrically equipped signs must
be built according to the rules laid
down by the board of fire underwrit-
ers. This precaution is taken to min
imize the fire risk.
1t is understood that the city at
torney had received numerous COM
paints of the many signs that were
not built according to the provisions
of the city ordinance and the action
taken today by the authorities is to
fire underwriters. 1t is not the pur-
pose of the city to work hardship on
those who have unintentionally violat-
ed the city ordinance.

NOTED EVANGELIST
HERE THIS WEEK
DIR. j. L. GLASCOCK WILL DELIV-
Err SERIES OF SERMONS AT
METHODIST CHURCH
Comes Here For the Week End Be-
fore Taking Up Evangelistic
Work at Portland

Evangelist j. L. Glascock, who has
just closed successful meeting in
Spokane, will visit Moscow for few
days only. His next meeting is at
Portland and on account of the floods
in that vicinity he is delayed a few
days. He has been invited to hold
services in the Methodist church here
Thursday and Friday evenings of this
week and Sunday morning and eve
ming.
Such interest remains after the clos
ing of the special meetings Sunday
evening that it is looked upon as be-
ing fortunate that this very disting-
uished evangelist is able to spend the
week end and Sunday in Moscow. DR..
Glascock lives in Cincinnati, O., and
is one of the well-known and honored
evangelists of the Methodist church.
Many strong things are written of
him.
Rev. Joseph Luccock DID,, brother
of Bishop Luccock speaks of his work
in his church some years ago, in Chill
licothe, O., as follows: "More than
hundred and fifty have been converted.
There have been a hundred accessions
to the church. Other gracious results
have followed which cannot be tab
ulated in figures. Too much can
scarcely be said in commendation OF
Evangelist Glascock In some re-
spects he is unexcelled. He breaches
the law with the dramatic intensity OF
John the Baptist. He can present the
gospel with the winning tenderness of
the Beloved Disciple. I know OF no
evangelist who possesses to more
marked degree the power to awaken
and arouse sinners. He can make the
most powerful appeals to the human
to which | have ever lis
tened"
The public is invited to hear this
well-known evangelist in the four
sermons he will deliver here.
