PREVAILING COLD WAVE.
Lowest Official Record is 8 Degrees,
Above Zero; Last Year Much Lower.

Lowest Official Record is 8 Degrees,
Above Zero; Last Year Much Lower.
Hendersonville in common with the
rest OF the mountainous section Of
North Carolina is experiencing the
coolest weather of the winter. While
no records for extreme cold have been
broken, It has been cold enough to be
comfortable only when one is warmly
wrapped up out of doors. Numerous
reports of damaged water pipes are
heard, and the plumbers are wearing
smiles. Ice has formed on many opeE
ponds, but not of sufficient thickness
to bear-up those who wish to don.
skates.
The coldest weather for the present
prevailing wave is officially recorded
as 9 degrees above zero, which was
recorded on Monday night. All of
Monday was highly disagreeable and
cold, the mercury not rising above 20
degrees. On Tuesday night the wealth
er had moderated slightly, the lowest
record being II. Some consolation
may be found in the fact that in De-
cember 1914 the mercury here went
down, to only 2 degrees above zero.
Warmer weather is promised for the
latter part OF the present week.

THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

The United States Government has
again been forced to approach the
danger line of suspension or sew r
ance of diplomatic relations with one
of the Central or Teutonic powers, be
cause of the sinking by an explosion
of the Persia, the British registered
passenger steamer on which Consul
McNeely, of North Carolina. lost his
life while on the way to take up his
duties at Ayden, Arabia. While the
situation is grave, the severance of
diplomatic relations would not neces-
sarily involve this country in actual
participation of the war.
In the present situation, there is
manifested a disposition on the part
OF some of the leaders of the Senate
to ask, or demand, that they be con
suited in the progress of the contro-
iversy, in order that matters may not
be brought to a crisis without their
knowledge and consent. That they
representing the Congress, shall be q
factor in the proceedings that might
lead to a stage where a declaration OF
war would be justiiable.
The President unquestionably has
authority to conduct negotiations with
a foreign power as he deems proper
and to report the results to Congress,
whether the conclusions arrived at
spell war or peace.
While the constitution of the United
States especially reserves to the Con-
gress the right to declare war, it gives
to the President a wide range of ac-
ton in dealing with foreign govern
mGnts when, the possibility of precip-
war is involved.
Yet the President may, with advant-
age and profit, consult with able and
experienced legislators of his w or
another party under such trying cir
cCmstances as those with which he IS
now dealing. especially when ques-
of expediency enter into the
equation and political factors rise to
the surface of the troubled waters.

WILSON'S MEXICAN POLICY
LAUDED BY DEMOCRATS

Washington, Sept. Am authori-
tative Interpretation of President Will
sons Mexican policy and an interesting
and complete narrative of the rela-
tons Of the United States with Mexi-
co during President Wilson's admins
tration is contained in the Mexican
chapter of the democratic national
text book, released for publication
today.
president Wilson's faith in democ-
racy, and the unselfshness Of the
United States in international deal"
ings," says the text book, "have been
so strikingly expressed in his Mexican
policy that they may be said to con-
stitute the greatest contribution which
the country has made in many years
to the progressive thought of mankind
The keynote of Woodrow Wilson'S
endeavor throughout the long, varied
and difficult course of Mexican affairs
is summed up in the chapter heading
wilson's Demand for Mexico is
Justice"
The larger phases of the whole ques.
ton are treated in part as follows:
1.-TWO considerations have animated
the president in the formulation of his
Mexican policy and have compelled hi:
adherence in it throughout his admin.
istration, namely:
THE firm conviction that all nations
both the weak and the powerful, have
the inviolable right to control theil
internal affairs.
"The belief, established upon thu
history of the world, that Mexico will
never become a peaceful and law
abiding neighbor Of the United State.
until she has been permitted to achieve
a permanent and basic settlement Of
her troubles without outside interior
ence.
"The Wilson Mexican policy is of g
piece with the new craftsmanship
which will regulate the internal affairs
of the world when the lesson of the
European war has been learned ant
applied. One Of the safeguards which
civilization is sure to get up against
