The oceans do not belong to any
nation and the citizens of this nation
have the same right to go upon these
seas beyond the territorial waters
as the citizens of'any other nation,
Germany has no right to demand oil
expect that American citizens shall
not 60 upon the seas. Great Britt
an has no right to ask or expect a
similar condition. The United
States. if this country were at wal
with any other country, would have
no right to ask the citizens of any
other nation to refrain from going
upon the high seas.
On the other hand, American cite
liens have the same right to sail the
seas in pursuance of legitimate pur-
poses, as they have to walk streets
of the city in which they live under
the protection of the American flag,
and when President Wilson or any
other president insists that these
rights shall lot be abrogsted nor
abridged in any manner whatsoever,
he is only asking that American cit
liens be protected the same as it
they were in their own country. If
these same American citizens who
go upon the seas should insist upon
entering Germany or France or
Turkey, they could no longer ask
or expect the protection of the
flag, and in that respect
the case would be more analogous 10
that of the Americans who rushed
into Mexico and still expect the
to protect them.
There is no conflict in the definite
stand that President Wilson s
taken regarding Germany and Mex
leo; he IS clearly within his rights in
both cases, and has the right to ex
pect the support of every loyal pa
triotic citizen.-Topeka News.

Wilson's Views
Are Consistent

Many persons have failed to dis
tinguish between, President Wilson's
Mexican Policy and his German
Submarine Policy, and because o.
this failure on their part have fell
that President Wilson's views are in
conflict on these two propositions.
Such a conclusion is as far from the
truth as day is from night. The sit
uations are not at all analogous and
the cases are in no way parallel.
President Wilson asked Americans
not to go into the war zone of Mex
leo for the simple reason that when
war was declared in Mexico, Ameri-
can citizens had no business there
except as they were in duty bound
to represent the American govern
ment. Diplomatic relations were
severed because the country was in
a state of civil warfare and there was
no recognized government in Mexi-
Co The Mexican people were fight
ing upon their own soil where they
had a perfect right to be and where
foreigners did not have any right.
President Wilson was clearly within
the bounds of legality when he ask
ed the Americans to stay away from
the scene of conflict
When the war broke out in Europe
Americans along with other foreign
ers were warned by belligerent ma
tons to leave the country. This
the warning nations had a perfect
right to ask and President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan did all possible
to enable Americans to leave those
European countries in conflict. This
was done, because the Americans
had no right to remain in these
countries and expect American pro-
lection other than Is afforded to Am.
bassadors and others whose duty
with the government compels them
to remain. In this regard the Euro
pean situation is omewhatanalogous
to that Of the Mexican situation, ex
cept that the diplomatic relations
have act been cancelled between
the United States and the fighting
nations of Europe.

The Association of the Survivors of
the Hughes Wilson Elections Returns
was incorporated today. The constitu-
tion defines the qualifications for mem
bership and the following classes are
barred:
People who claimed more than 400
electoral votes for either candidate be-
fore the election.
Those who had absolute and positive
inside information that either Hughes
or Wilson could not lose and that either
Hughes or Wilson would sweep the
country like the we'll known landslide.
Any one who had personal friends"
in the encourage of either candidate
and was. therefore, getting better in
sights into the real situation than any
one else on earth. including the highly
expert and experienced blase and neu-
trail newsgatherers.
Persons who had nothing to do from
last Tuesday morning on but to hold
post-mortems.
Persons who remembered exactly
how it was done in the HayesTilden
affair.
Those who knew New York would go
for Wilson by million majority
Those who stated positively that
friend of theirs had it from good au-
thority, namely, stenographer who
once worked for Frank P. Woods of
Iowa. that Wilson wouldn't carry
northern state.
From this. you see, the membership
will be limited and highly exclusive.
The association seems to be made up
entirely of the men who worked in
telephone exchanges, polling places,
newspaper offices, etc. and served out
the returns hot to the waiting and
bowling public.

Firemen were kept busy yesterday
afternoon answering calls. The most
disastrous of the several fires occur

The fire occurred just across the line in

did all they could to save the structure.
The building and contents were badly
damaged.
Trouble with gas stove in the sum
mer kitchen at the home of George w.
L1ttleford. 1929 X street southeast,
caused fire that alarmed occupants
OF the premises and made it necessary
TO summon the fire department. Dam
age to the structure and contents
amounted to $25.

residence of James T. Hartnett, 80

other was on Cottage hill. the third
was on Mulligan's hill and the fourth
was at 18th street and Kilbourne place.
