organize the massacres, without
shame and almost without conceal
ment. We know them all by face,
in uniform or disguise. They invit-
ed many Of us to take part; but
there was none SO vile among us as
to give even the outward consent
that fear might have extorted.
You know, of course, how the
various strata of Russian society be-
have towards the police: 1t is not
even respected by those who avail
themselves Of it's dark services. But
we despise and hate it three, ten
times more--not because many of us
have been tortured in the detective
departments. which are just cham

death, beaten with whips of ox-hide

The discussion of the Mothers pension

to point 10 a certain amount Of good ac-
comphshed without really adjusting
things fundamentally and resting upon a
sound foundation.
There is no question in the minds Of
the different judges as to the necessity
of children being properly cared for, nor
of mother being assisted TO keep her
children and care for them herself if she
is capable and morally fit.
All this may apply to widows who are

We Should EndeavOr
To Uphold the Hands Or
The COuntry's President

There is no doubt that the disturbances
in Mexico during the last few year, have
been due in a greater or less degree 70 an
effort on the part Of ambitious cunning
men to force intervention and possia.y
annexation to the United State,
Intervention in Mexico is. of course.
rot matter to he considered lightly. for
Intervention means war, the destruction
of human lives and the expenditure OF
hundreds of millions. It means, further
more, the responsibility Of the govern
ment of 2O,0Ooo0O people for an indef-
mite period.
We are now engaged in governing To-
100000 aliens as the result of the Span
ish-American war-a war which could
very probably have been averted if we
could have exercised a little more pa
thence, patriotism and self-restraint
If our spectators in Mexico suffer pc
cuniary loss as the result of recurring
revolutions, that is matter for future
consideration, when stable government
and peace are fully established in that
country.
1t is not warrant for shedding the blood
of Americans.
To sacrifice the life of one soldier for
all of the dollars investors or spectators
have ventured in Mexico would be the
supremest criminal folly
President Wilson Is dealing with the
situation as best he can.
We may not entirely agree that his
course is better than that Of his distin-
guished predecessor, nevertheless We
should endeavor to uphold his hands
There should be no difference Of op.n-
ion as to that
1t is pretty safe rule when We come
TO deal with grave international problems
to put our faith in the president Of the
United States and follow where he NAV
lead.
The president Of the United States is
safer guide than sensatonalists and the
soldiers Of fortune
No, gentle reader, truth and candor
forbid our claiming credit fef anything
above the dash, altho "them's our senu-
ments' to the dot
1t is, however, taken from a speech de-
livered before an editorial association Of
Indiana in 1913, by the Hon. Charles
Warren Fairbanks. now Republican can
didate for vice presidency, and roas ing
Wilson's foreign policy.
