WILSoNIAN TWADDLE

N1EWSPAPER reports of President
In Wilson's campaign address on
Saturday read like. the bally-
hooing of an irresponsible stump
speaker Of the hoop pole" district.
He started out by declaring the Ger
tain prospect of the success of the
Republican party" at the next election
is that the United States will enter
the European war and will go to war
with Mexico.
officials of foreign Governments will
watch the coming election carefully.
the President said. to know how they
can treat the United States in the flu
ture. He said special interests with
stakes in Mexico are working for the
success of the Republicans.
The President said he had hoped for
campaign based on real issues, but
that he had been disappointed. The
Democratic party. he declared, is the
only party in the nation based on the
rule of the people. N
The Republican party as at present
constituted and led," he said, believes

cial interests. That party's last tariff
was framed by attorneys for the spe.
cial interests"

MONDAY EVENING,

and even now practically our whole
armed force is being held by his COM
mand at the border. For what? Peace?
Hardly! And unquestionably the
United States would be at war with
Germany at this moment had not the
Kaiser had both hands full when the
President slapped him in the face.
He kept us out of war" forsooth! /!
He did nothing of the sort. Kind
Providence and our splendid isolation
and our resources are responsible. In
his heart the President must realize
this, and he knows, too, that the Re-
publican party is opposed to war and
strongly committed to honorable
peace. One might think, to hear the
President talk. that every Republican
slept with a rifle beside him and spent
his evenings at pistol practice.
The remainder of the speech Of
Saturday is quite on a par with the
opening paragraph, combination Of
twaddle and clap-trap. as silly as it is
false.
Democrats always right, Republi-
cans always wrong! Special interests
in the saddle! A tariff for the trusts!
Wall street in control of the treasury!
One might suspect the President of
having been revamping some of the
oratory that helped to defeat Bryan
when he ran for President on certain
memorable occasions.
Mr.. Wilson might have added-but,
of course, did not--that the awful Re-
publican tariff, which he looks upon
with horror. brought prosperity to
rich and poor alike and provided
money so plentifully that from our
current revenues we were able to
build the Panama canal. and he might
further have set forth that when the
Republicans controlled the Treasury
they did not need to place special
stamp taxes on the working people, as
President Wilson has found it neces-
sary to do. Incidentally it may be re-
marked in passing, the President
shows distinct indications of himself
becoming quite protectionist.

terrible an arraignment of candidate

terrible an arraignment of candidate
for reelection.
Colonel Roosevelt does not forget
the dignity of the office at stake and
he justifies the lengths to which he
goes in criticism of the present incum-
bent and his associates by the fact that
he himself was ready at all times as
President to accept just criticism and
because the welfare of the nation de-
mands that the truth in this crisis be
placed before the voters in vigorous
terms.
The ColonePs speech is even more
cutting and fiery than that which he
delivered in Maine previous to the
reputation of the Democratic party in
that State a few weeks ago. How
closely he has followed every move
of President Wilson since he was in
augurated, how keenly he has analyzed
his every utterance and act, and how
incensed and disgusted he has been
with a President who has never made
his words fit his acts. who has been
swayed this way and that by the
changeful winds of political expedi-
ency, diplomatic Intervention and fear
of consequences. is displayed in every
line.
President Wilson took forty-one diff
ferent positions about preparedness
and the measures necessary to secure
1t and each of these forty-one positions
contradicted from one to six of the
Others" says the Colonel, and then
goes on to give the proof. The former
President is bitter. but he is logical,
also. Not once does he stray from
the path of conclusions built upon
presidential sins of omission and COM
mission familiar to every voter. He is
fiery, but he is earnest and intense. In
no previous utterance has Colonel
Roosevelt shown himself more Jealous
for the welfare of the nation nor more
Jealous OF its honor and good name
than in this tremendous arraignment
of those false servants of the people
who have betrayed the soul of the
people" and through and by whom
"the conscience of the people has been
scared and its moral sense dulled-
during the past three years."

OF space writer who needed some

Folwell has always had a longing
to coach at Penn, and now that the op-
portunity has come he will make the
best Of his chance. If Penn has any
material Folwell will get the results.
He has one of the keenes football
minds in the country and is Tecogniz-

the United States.
Folwell was captain Of the Penn
football team in 1907. After leaving
Penn he coached at Lafayette for two
years and had wonderful success. AT.

and made a name for himself and
washington and jefferson college in
the football world. He turned out
some wonderful elevens while he was
on the Red and Black staff.
OF interest to West Virginian read
