SPIRIT OF THE

MILFORp,S ELECTION.

MILF0RD'S ELECTION.
From the Milford Chronicle.
At the annual elections by the poo
pie Of the Town Of Milford which were
held last Monday. there was the larg-
est vote ever polled in the history of
the town. and therefore the desires Of
the people can be accurately gauged.
There was a decisive majority in the
results, but not one which would JUS
tify the victors in ignoring the de-
sires OF the minority The action Of
the members of Town Council in
1915 whereby teams were prevented
from hitching on the main business
streets for a period longer than
thirty minutes at one time, was the
bone OF contention by the merchants
along that street who objected to the
ordinance. Back of that was the ques-
ton OF retaining the police employed
in 1915. who had struck terror into
the lawless element by arresting
drunken men, by arrestng gamblers,
by checking disorderly conduct, and
generally refining mp the element
which creates disturbances and max
ing them pay fines for their miscon-
duct. The police had made mistakes
in a few cases, but that particular ele-
ment lined up solidly TO elect the
ticket which was named to repeal the
hitching ordinance. and so II won at
ter the most strenuous election in the
history OF Milford There is no ques-
| ton as to the character of the men Sc
lected to hll the various Offices in the
Town Council of Milford, for they are
, all good men personally, and the most
Of them are business men OF stand
ing In tho town, so IL would be foil,
TO believe that they viii permit Tho
rowdy element to dominate and dis
turb the public peace OF their native
town. and we certainly do not thinl
for one moment that President Of
Council II. Winter Moore. will stant
for anything Of that kind. We believe
that his. record at the end of his
term will prove that our confidence
in him is not misplaced. The othei
gentlemen elected are OF equally goo'
moral character, and certainly the.
have a pride i'm the town the same a
those whom they succeeded. The mex
problem for them to solve outside tn
regular duties OF their Office, is the Sc
lection Of a man qualified to act as tn
head OF the police department ant
upon that choice will largely rest tn
peace and good order OF Milford dur
ing his incumbency OF the office; but
the chief of police cannot accomplish
the Job alone. for he must be backe
fully and without quibbling by tn
President of Council as well as by tn
members, in his effort to continue th
excellent order which has maintaine
for the past four months. Let every
body be fair and Loyalty support tn
efforts Of the new council in all Il
efforts to maintain the laws and kee
Milford in the line Of progress.

Our President has from the first
urged us to be neutral; TO keep our feet
on the soft pedal" TO say OF do moth
ing which could disturb our relations
with other nations with which we were
at peace.
At the time, wise and sane counsel no
doubt. And our people have lived up to
il in full measure. 1 say our people
advisedly, meaning to exclude those
whose "hyphens' still attsch them to
their native or ancestral land.
Had we not. however, a right TO feel
that back of such sane counsel was a
strong. brave government which would
always maintain American honor even to
action if necessary for American rights
and righteousness between man and man
and nation and nation.
We have remained as people SUI
pincly quiescent under such a series OF
incidents as have never before irritated
the patriotic spirit of any people with
out being oundly and thoroughly re-
sented and redressed.

American b- reason of what our genera
tion and those gone before had written
into the records of the United States OF
America, sometimes even with the good
red blood of real men.
Today. however, on what can be based
feeling of pride in being an American
in view of recent history
The tragedy of Mexico, incontroverti
bly, Illuminated from tn records OF
George Harvey in the North American
Review, is pitiful picture of American
dishonor.
Yet it is a mere ,ideshow to th'
greater dishonor he"oed upon us by th'
records of the European war.
Do we really want to be a discredite'
and dishonored nation? DO our people re
ally understand what is being done e
them as whole? DO they know, ask
that the honor Of Americans is being sol,
for dishonorable quietudeg
DO they know that all this American
people has striven for from the days o
Washington through the times OF Lin
coin and Mckinley is slipping through
our fingers!
We are not arlike people. Yet w
have never before in history lived unde
regime Of "watchful waiting or beel

proud to fight" no matter what the dis

WILSON TIRED OF
MEXICAN DELAYS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The ad-
niinistratlon will stand but little
further delay from the Mexican me-
diators. Its patience is exhausted.
and few days may bring potential
developments. The Mexicans will be
told emphatically that the United
States cannot participate in the ses-
sions if dilatoriness and obstruction
continues.
The Administration hopes to en-
force peaceful agreement and the
protection and safety of American
rights and property. If these are not
obtained satisfactorily and the bor-
der patrol effected, new steps will
be taken, the United Press has learn.
ed from trustworthy sources.
Should the mediators fail none can
say what the alternative course will
be. 1t is secretly predicted by those
closely in touch with the Mexican
problems that the policy will shift
and Forthcoming dealings will be-
stricter with Mexico than in the past.

WILSON WILL ASK
FOR COOPERATION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2I.-A call
to American business to meet the un-
precedent postbellum trade conditions
is to be the keynote of Wilson's
message to congress when it con-
nes December s.
Wilson believes the country's in
dustries are capable of maximum
work only when there is minimum
of industrial unrest. The message IL
expected to emphasize this in its ap-
peal to employers and employees for
more cooperation and confidence and
less class feeling.
The President has formulated
plans which practically make it i'm
possible for strikes to occur. He will
urge the completion of a program
similar TO the one proposed in his last
message and will urge the most
careful consideration of Legislation
that will aid transportation compa-
nies to expand and meet the addi-
tional stress.
He believes this country must lay
foundations abroad for the upheav-
al that is coming. He will urge i'm
mediate action in a measure similar
to the Webb bill which, while max
ing it permissible for exporters To
organize, provides for fearless anti
trust action.
The President will also urge ac-
ton on measures recommended
year ago which still remain unfinish-
ed business.
