M'kINLEY'S WAR COST LESS
BLO0DSHED THAN WILSON'S
PEACE

Under President Mckinley we
had war with Spain. Under
President Wilson we are assured
that we have had peace" with
Mexico. These are the words.
Now for the deeds. During the
war with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by Spaniards than have
been killed by Mexicans during the
present peace" with Mexico.
Let me repeat this. A greater num-
ber of Americans during these
years, when we are officially in
formed that we have been at peace
with them, than were killed by the
Spaniards during our entire war
with Spain. Moreover, when the
war with Spain was through, it was
through. But peace still continues
to rage as furiousl Y as ever in
Mexico. Nor is this all. The in
stant effect of the outcome of the
war with Spain was to put stop
to the dreadful butchery and starv-
alton in Cuba and the Philippines,
and the entry of both Cuba and the
philippines. on career of eighteen
years of peace and prosperity such
as they had never known before In
all their checkered history. But
during these three years of Mr..
Wilson's peace" the Mexicans
themselves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and with
out intermission; and Mexican wo-
men and children have died by the
thousands probably by scores of |
thousands-of starvation and of |
the diseases incident to starvation. |
In other words, Mr.. McKinley's
war cost less than peace; and it re-
eeted high honor for the Anne ri
,an people: whereas Mr.. Wilson's
peace has been one of shame and
lishonor for the American people,
md one of ruin and bloodshed for
,he Mexicans.

Cities of the second class can
not have seperate schools for Ne

pication of three Negroes of Ga
lena for a writ of mandamus to
compel the city to admit their
children to the schools attended by

for Negroes and provided it with
as good teachers and equipment

A PICTURE OF HUGHES

The New York World, which
was once outspoken in its admira-
ton for Mr.. Hughes, now declares
that the people do not know where
Hughes stands, or what Hughes is
for. This Wilson organ had no
such criticism to make when Mr..
Hughes was governor. I he
World said May II. 1910: HE
dictated no nominations, controlled
no convention, traficked in no
patronage, made no bargains with
no Office holders. He has reward.
ed nobody for supporting him and
Furnishing nobody for opposing
him. What influence he has WELD.
ed over public opinion has come
through his appeals to the voters
themselves" That is the estimate
of Mr.. Hughes given by the World
six years ago. 1t is pretty fair
letter of recommendation. Could
the World say as much for Presi-
dent Wilsoni Hardly, for the
president has done all t the
things from which the World alb
solved Hughes. .-K.C. Journal.
