Wilson has done our Nation the most
serious injury that any leader can do
to any people by making US finch
with him from a great moral decision
Thereby he weakened our hold as a
nation on the principles which alone
can make any people self-respecting,
and strong.
Having led US wrong on the ground
that we must be neutral in the face
of the deliberate breaking of the
worlds peace, he has just reversed
himself again, and in his speech at
Shadow Lawn now assures US that
mo nation can any longer remain
neutral as against any wilful distur-
bance of the peace of the world"
It is bad enough that Wilson's for
eign policy has left US, as the War
draws towards its end, without a
friend among the great nations of the
world, and without the respect of any
of them. What is worse is that he
has kept. us from standing up for
what we know to be right.
The ignoble standard of profit over
princiHle which Mr. Wilson forced up
on the country in our foreign rela-
tions, he has applied t, himself as
President. In what he has said
done, and left undone, the record
shows him steadily dominated by po-
litical expediency.
These facts, and many others like
them, have forced me to see that what

The best-liked fur for summer wear
remains a scarf made of the pelt of
the white fox, or of some other skin
that looks like it. One of these is pic

owe denounce the prohigate waste
of the money wrung from the people
by oppressive taxation through the
lavish appropriations Of recent Re
publican Congresses, which have kept
taxes high and reduced the purchas-
ing power Of the peoples toll. We de-
mand a return to that simplicity and
economy which BELTS a Democratic
government and a reduction in the
number of useless offices, the salaries
of which drain the substance of the
people" Democratic National Plat
form, 1912.
Nothing more clearly eXemplifes
the radical difference between the
platform pledges of the Democratic
and its performances than the plank
quoted and the performance of the
Congress just ended, which has Gre
ated innumerable new and useless of
fees and appropriated $4,000, 100000
Of the peoples money. With only the
first session of the SiXty-fourth Con-
gress completed, the Democrats have
appropriated, in exact figures, 81 ,947,-
259,048. The Democrats have spent
over $8,000,000 a day for every one
of the 245 days life of this session,
including Sundays and holidays. The
administration estimates the total
revenues for the next fiscal year at
$762, 100000. They contend, how
ever, that the deficit will not be quite
as large as these figures would make
it appear because payment Of some Of
the governments bills can be deferred
until later on. 1t will, however, re
quire an even more adroit exhibition
Of Juggling with Treasury figures
than Secretary McAdoo has thus far
displayed to conceal the fact that
Democratic economy" has produced
substantially a million dollar deficit
After the election, the public will be
permitted to know the extent of bond
sales which the administration con-
Never before in the his
tory Of the Nation has a single SEES
sion Of Congress been so profigate
in it's expenditures of the peoples
Probably it will be long be-
fore the voters will permit Democrat
ic ineficiency to perpetrate such CO.

present administration.

ing to do. He talked we'll and made
a good impression. 1t was only when
[ began to check up what he said by
what he did that I was forced to
change my view.
In the end I came to see that Presi-
dent Wilson has a greater power than
any other man in public life to say
one thing but do another, and get
away with it.
The facts which justify this state
ment are common knowledge.
We have all heard him tell Ger
many publicly that she would be held
to strict accountability; and have
learned afterward that he h>d actual
ly let know secretly at the time, by
the mouth Of his Secretary of State
through the Austrian Ambassador,
that what he said he did not mean.
We have all seen him prove that he
did not mean it by his total failure
to exact reparation, apology, or even
disavowal for the murder of Ameri
cans on the Lusitania.
l do not say that Wilson should
have thrust US into war. There was
no need of war. But there was nee
of courage to give us peace with self
respect. IF Wilson had shown cour-
age this country would not have skiG-
ded from one crisis to the next, again
and again narrowly escaping disaste
We have all heard him declare
against Intervention in Mexico, while
actually intervening to dictate who
should and who should not hold office
