 The president wrote the letter to Miss Leona l.. Larrabee, president of the Women's Democratic club of Port land, Ore. thanking her for work be- ing done in his behalf by the organi- zation.
 "I cannot help having the feeling" said the presidents letter, that the intelligent women of Oregon need no suggestion or intimation from me as to what are the real issues of the present campaign or the real concern that women must have with thesa is- sues.

 It is also stated by friends of Villa here that he win be able to prove an alibi for himself at the time of the Santa Ysabel massacre, at which eighteen Americans and other foreign CTS were killed.

All Under One Bann er.

Washington never before witnessed anything
like yesterdays parade. No cause ever before
called so loudly to the people of the Capital
that they forSook everything else to respond to
IT. Such breaking of barriers and obliteration
Of lines, such a merging of interest was undream-
ed of until it became visible reality Yesterday
Washington knew sex, religion politics. busi-
ness or caste. All were American, nothing more
or less, marching to give expression to vital
national principle-prepared Americanism Fol-
lowing the President of the United States were
the banker, the merchant, the clubman and club
woman, the housewife, the man and woman of
business and profession.
Few besides the toddling infant and the tot
tering octogenaran were absent The flag was
the only symbol, and the whole city was a NOV
ing flag. There was no need of the long lines of
reviewing stands familiar on Inauguration DAYS,
because Washington itself was marching The
demonstration was a splendid example of pre-
paredness, because in all of its details it repre-
sented the result of the expenditure of the time
and money OF the marchers themselves The
promptness and precision and the splendid
martial effect were amazing, considering what
little opportunity there had been for anything in
the nature of drill or rehearsal
Not only as an inspiring spectacle was the
parade triumph, but it demonstrated an aroused
national spirit, confounding the pacihsts and Civ
ing the lie to the charge that the demand for
preparedness is the creation of the munition
makers. Since practically every one had a part

hands with itself.

A Lesson at West Point

conquest of the allies, but at the time when the
Teutonic forces were winning nearly all the bat

such an outcome as improbable, even, and all
but the pacihsts and the blind among realized
that in the event of German subjugation of Eu-
rope, speedily the turn of the United States to
fight her surrender would come. And even
then friends of Germany striving on our
own soil to advance her cause and to withhold
from her foes the arms to which they were
legally entitled. Misdirected sympathy of So
called Americans with their efforts was not lack
ing.
The serious nature of the offenses thus COM
mitted against this country by friends of Ger
many and the madness, if not something worse,
ef those Americans who made common cause
with them were brought vividly to mind by the
words spoken by President Wilson to the grad
yates of the United States Military Academy at
West Point. Speaking of Americanism and pre-
paredness to these young soldiers the President
said
You have heard of the Monroe doctrine, gen
tlemen. You know that we are already spiritual
partners with both continents of this hemisp phere
and that America means something which is big
ger even than the United States, and that we
stand here with the glorious power of this coun-

whenever liberty and independence and political
integrity are threatened anywhere in the Western
Hemisphere. And are ready-nobody has au-
thorized me to say this, but | of it
we are ready to join with the other nations of
the world in seeing that the kind of justice pre-
walls everywhere that we believe in.
Suppose those friends of Germany in this
country, aided by their American allies, had sue
ceeded in their designs and Germany had con-
quered, as she might we'll have conquered an
unarmed enemy; suppose that she
should triumph The Presidents words cannot
be misunderstood. They mean that under such
circumstances should have to Swing out into

were not prepared to do it when Germany's cause
was being advanced in the very halls Of Con-

we must prepare to meet the great responsible
ties which the President referred to with pride
at West Point. The Monroe doctrine applies to
Canada, and Canada has been in peril from con-
spracies hatched within the borders of the United
States.
While strengthening the nation that it may be

A Stupid Proposal.

No will be disposed to question the truth
OF the report that the proposal to place the
Democratic party record in its platform as
favoring amendment to the Constitution max
ing Federal judges ineligible for election to any
other Office has been vetoed by President Will
son. If such project has been seriously sug-
gested by any Of the leaders at St. Louis it is a
confession OF disappointment. that the Republic
ans did not stop outside the Supreme Court in
their search for the strongest candidate What
they in blind chagrin proposed to do was simply
stupid, so if President Wilson has put his foot
down this particular attempt to make the
Democratic platform ridiculous, it is not sur
prising
The people have not yet been given an oppor-
tunity to express their will concerning that plank
in the last Democratic platform which would
make Presidents ineligible for reelection No one
may say whether they would deem it wise to
deprive the country Of the services possibly of
some future Washington or Lincoln after one
term. There is good reason though to doubt
whether they would place such conditions upon
service in the Federal courts that only men with
no ambition beyond the discovery of an agree
able field in which to finish their careers would
accept it.

In the spring of 1894 armies OF the

western country for the purpose OF

President moved in all matters which
II fell to him to act upon with visor
and initiative which made the years
memorable.
Strikes had been added to the other dis
turoances of the time. From April until
June, 1884 strike Of the bituminous coal
miners, two hundred thousand strong
threatened TO enbarrass the industries Of
the whole country. Many manufactur-
ing esta blishments were obliged to close
for lack Of fuel. Some Of the RAILWAYS
seized the coal which they were carry
ing as freight for use in feeding the
fires Of their locomotives.
On the nth Of May q strike Of the en-
pioyees OF the Pullman Car Company,
OF chicago. began which presently be-
came very formidable affair The
strikers and their sympathizers mustered
IN dangerous numbers and made con-
certed e1ort to prevent the use of the
cars OF the Pullman Company by any
OF the railways running out of Chicago
Their violence seemed about to stop an
traffic on the western roads, and Mr..
Cleveland intervened. The governor Of
Illinois had not asked for his aid. had
not even called out the militia of the
State to maintain order and protect pro-
perty - sympa athized indeed, with the
strikers and resented interference
Neither had the federal courts acted or
asked for assistance in the execution Of
their writs.
Mr. Cleveland deliberately took the
initiative and assumed the responsibility.
on the ground that the strikers were pre-
venting the movement Of the mails and
blocking the course of interstate COM
merce. and that the carrying Of the mails
and the protection Of commerce between
the States were indisputable duties Of the
federal government.
He ordered federal troops to the points
