BRANDEIS' APPOINTMENT
AND THE MEXICAN POLICY

President Wilson nominates Brandeis
for the Supreme Bench because he has
listened to Brandeis, read his addresses.
and the words sound fine, observes "The
Book Man." in the Wall street Journal.
or his actions, FIRST on one side of a
case and then on the other, Wilson cares
nothing.
Tom Lawson endorses Brandeis, and
lawson can write more entertainingly
and interestingly about human rights and
the wickedness OF property than even
Brandeis. had Lawson been a lawyer,
he should certainly have had first plac ce
with Wilson for the Supreme Bench.
Lawson's denunciation of the robberies
of the people by Wall Street and the
corporations are even more catchy and
crgaging.
Samuel Untermyer also has claims; but
they are not supreme claims, for he has
never professed TO repent and be witness
or attorney for "the other side
Wilson glories in his new freedom
for man and declares. in his Indiana
speech, that the Mexicans are Just as
much entitled to fight II out on that line
as were the early American colonies on
their lines, and Wilson takes our fag
out Oh MEXICO without any apologies TO
or from anybody. He and Bryan decided
that the peon bandit Villa, was the
natural leader OF the Mexican people, be-
';ause he was a total abstainer from al
coholic drinks.
The Mexican Policy.
The result of the Bryan-Wilson policy
In backing the murderous bandit because
he was total abstainer Is most clearly
set forth by Thomas B. Holmes the sole
American survivor of the Chihuahua mas
sacre of January 10. when Engineer Wat
son and his seventeen associates were
murdered by Villa because Wilson had
swung his support TO Carranza. Asked by
the Boston Globe why Villas men had so
suddenly turned on Americans, Holmes
replied:
Can't Get villa.
Villa had the backing of the United
States government and got all the arms
and ammunition he wanted for a time.
Then he was discredted by the Amer-
can government and Carranza was given
aid of one kind and another. So Villa
and his men feel that they are fighting
the United States rs well as Carranza.
and they are taking it out on any Gringos

THE SUMMONS.

No call no summons hast thou ever had
To lfe's most glorious tasks of main and might
Nay, nay! 'Tis thine to make thy ne!ghbor glad
To lift the sorrow from some heart that's sad,
And lead the blind to light.
What matters it how small thy place in life.
How limited thy sphere OF action be?
The air thou breathcst every day is rife
With human suffering, and woe, and strife.
And opportunity
To build up splendid palaces and raise
Rich temples on the earth is effort fair,
But other laurcls wait, and grecner bays
For those who labor we'll in lowlier ways

is a remarkable fact that the three
greet creations OF the human mind.
ancient or modern, were the works Of
blind men.
Homer. the blind old man Of scio'r
rocky isles wrote The uisd." the great
epic poem OF the Greeks. Milton, when
old and blind. wrote the Paradise
Lost the great epic poem Of the Eng
uish-spesking race. Bunyon, blind and
imprisoned, wrote the Pilgrims Prog
ress." the greatest uninspired work OF the
world, and the best specimen OF Eng
lish undefiled' in all English literature
Macsuley said that in q competition for
superiority between the English and
other languages he would stake the Eng
lish OF the Pilgrims Progress for purity
Of diction and exquisite beauty OF style.
Why is II that these blind men were
more highly gifted intellectually than
their fellows? Was IL not that when to
the outer eye the world around them
was cut off there Was given TO the inner
eye, the Intellectual eye, a special H.
lumination7
But the loss OF sight is not the only
tnfirrnity that has, under Providence.
proved a benefsction to mankind. The
history OF our country furnishes q nots-
bic instance Of this. Commodore Mat
thew F. Maury desired TO devote himself
" eCAlNt service OF tne COur-
| try. and TO that end had studied and
graduated at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. But when &c years Of age by
the upsetting OF a stage coach in which
! he was travelling he sustained a fracture
] Of the ankle which inca pecitsted him
| for active naval service. This OF course
| seemed to him and his friends a great
calamity; but under Providence Il proved
to be blessing TO mankind Being
