A HEARTLESS
ADMINISTRATION

This Administration has dis
played no more feeling of re-
sponsibillty for the American
women who have been raped,
and for the American men, wo-
men and children who have been
killed In Mexico, than a farmer
shows for the rats killed by his
dogs when the hay Is taken from
a barn. And now the American
people are asked to sanction
this policy in the name of peace,
righteousness and humanity
From the speech of Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, delivered at
Lewiston, Maine, In behalf of
Charles E. Hughes.

VILLA AIDED BY WILSON'S
FAVOR AND BACKING.

In March last, Villa made a
! raid into American territory. He
was a bandit leader whose
! career of successful infamy had
! been greatly aided by Mr.. Will
( sons favor and backing. He
! was at the head of Mexican SOL
I diers, whose arms and munitions
I had been supplied to them in
! consequence of Mr.. Wilson's re-
( versing Mr.. Taft's policy and
! lifting the embargo against arms
I and munitions into Mexico. They
! attacked Columbus, New Mexico,
( and killed a number of civilians
! and a number of United States
( troops. On the next day the
! president issued an announce
! ment that adequate forces would
I be sent in pursuit of Villa with
! the single object of capturing
( him." On April Sth, the an
! nOuncement was made from the
( White House that the troops
! would remain in Mexico until
( Villa was captured. 1t was
! Furthermore announced in the
I press dispatches from Washing
I ton that he was to be taken
dead or alive Fine words
l Only-they meant nothing. He
! is not dead. He has not been
( taken alive.-From speech of
! Col. Theodore Roosevelt, deliv-
cred at Lewiston, Maine, in be-
y half of Charles e. Hughes.

SACRIFICED COUNTRY'S
HONOR AND INTEREST

Mr.. Wilson's defenders say he
"has kept US out of war;" AS
a matter of fact his policy In
Mexico has combined all the
evils of feeble peace with all the
evils of feeble war. He has Sc
cured none of the benefits of
war; but he has not avoided
war. He has sacrificed the hon.
or and the interests of the coun-
try; but he has not received the
thirty pieces of silver.-From
the speech of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, delivered at Lewiston,
Maine, in behalf of Charles E.
Hughes.

Jacob White who preceded her
many years.
Her near relatives are brother

Judy, recently moved to Pennsyl
vania, also five gerat grandchildren
and many friends and bene-
iriaries of her life and services.
She was a lifelong and faithful
member of Christ in the Lutheran
church.
And now as we have placed her
trial body to the processes of dis
solution, we are confident that her
mighty soul is not interrupted in
grand activity of faith and life in
Christ. To know her was to love
her, for hers was one of those
stalwart yet sweet characters of
tho generation long past, that was
tempered with experience and
proven through many labors and
universities, with all the spirit of
her life did not change. As it were,
the work of her soul to benefit
others, kept her frame small. The

To three generations she gave her

and industrious, she was unobiru'
sive, but humble and meek in her
ways, yet always cheerful and
peaceful in her meetings
with others, seeming most pleased
when she could perform a service.

rows and great troubles crossed her
path, With unfnching faith in her
God to whom she felt deeply respon-
sible, she calmly repose d in Him who
