How the President Has Upheld
a Small Nations Right to
Control Its Affairs.
RESISTED war PRESSURE
Determined That Americas Sister Re-
public Shall Be Permitted to Work
Out Its Problem Of Freedom
and Self-Government.

president Wilson's faith in demo-
cracy. and the unselfishness OF the
United States In international deal
ings, have been strikingly expressed
in his Mexican policy.
1.-THE Presidents demand for Mexico
ls-Justlee."
The largo phases of the relations
of the United States with Mexico
during President Wilson's Admins
tration as we'll as an interesting and
complete narrative Of events are pre-
sented authoritatively in the Mexican
chapter Of the Democratic National
Text Book, from which these quota
tions are made:
1.-TWO considerations have animated
the President in the formulation Of
his Mexican policy and have compelled
his adherence to it throughout his Ad-
ministration, namely:
1.-THE firm conviction that all ma
tions, both the weak and the power
fuI, have the invioIable right to control
their Internal affairs.
1.-THE belief, established upon the
history Of the world, that Mexico will
never become 4 peaceful and Iaw-abid-
ing neIghbor Of the United States un-
I'll she has been permitted to achieve
q permanent and basic settlement Of
her troubles without outside Interior
ence..
1.-THE Mexican problem in its pres
ent form has existed for the American
Government ever since our frontier
was extended to the Rio Grande. When
the people maintained the peace 1t was
because they were forced to do so, and
not because justice reigned in the
land. Thus 1t was that the history
Of Mexico. like the history of every
aspiring people, pressed upon Presi-
dent Wilson's consideration the truth
that no permanent good relations
could exist between this great North
ern Republic and the one Immediate
ly South of us until she had been left
free to put her house in order. how
ever painful that process might be
and whatever the demands 1t might
make upon the forbearance OF the
United States"
"There was . powerful pressure for
war-a terrible war-by q well-armed
powerful nation against an unarmed,
bankrupt people exhausted by i've
years Of civil strife, but who still re-
tanned enough Of patriotic feeling to
unity them against an invader. It
was the old, old question whether the
United States should impose a peace
on Mexico; whether, for the sake Of
the interests Of few Of its citizens,
1t should permanently suppress Mexi-
cos upreaching toward freedom and
elf-government."

THE MAN WHO TALKS

Day by day Candidate Hughes is
talking, talking, taking. While the
man he attacks is working in WASH
ington, the judge keeps right on trav-
cling and talking. And what does he
say? Is he making the kind of a clean
critical campaign to which his friends
in both parties loo ked forward? Has
he killed by few straightforward
words the belief that he favors an
embargo on the shipment of arms to
Europe? Has he said anything in his
many, many speeches to cut the
ground from under those Teutons in
our midst who, to theix grief and
ours, are American citizens? Has he
done anything to d.speQ their delu-
sion. IL do.usion i be, that he is for
them just as they are for him?
Has Candidate Hughes given the
administration, most fertile of any
since the Civil war in constructive
reform legislation a jot of credit for
its achievements? Has he outlined
one specific piece of constructive
legislation of his own, which he
deems worthy to place on the statute
books alongside of THE Wilson in.
come tax law, the Wilson reserve act
the Wilson-Underwoo tariff, the viii
son rural credits act and the Wilson
laws for military and naval prepared
ness? Even his friends admit that
he has not. Even his friends admit
that his campaign Is a cheap bid for
temporary popularity tased on slang
phrases, hand shakings and pander
as unimportant IL true. Even his
friends admit that his speeches are
on unreasoning conde mnat'cn of the
administrator, in generalities pn
backed by any but the feeblest facts

as un.mportant II rtue. Even hi.

(By Elizabeth Rule).

a last farewell to the old school be-
fore leaving for college. Gertrude
Bawden left Thursday morning for
Boulder, where she will attend State
University. Marcy Some left for Den.
Yer. where she will attend Denver
University.
Tie high school labratory has a
great deal of new apparatus and the
chemistry class has already made
some very interesting experiments.
AS there were not enough seats
in the assembly to hold all the pupils
this year, seven Of the senior girls
were assigned seats in the COM
mercial room:
There Is such a large bookkeeping
class thet a row OF SEATS had to be
removed to make room for the tables.
This looks as IL the old school will
need another room II the attendance
keeps on growing.
The boys OF the school have organ
lied a basket ball team. A new ball
arrived Wednesday and practicing be
gan Immediately. We are in hopes
that some rousfng games may be wit
messed this year. The girls also are
in hopes that they may have team.
In bookkeeping. the class were
busily drawing lines with red ink
when Vernon McCalfeter said that
he didn't have enough ink to fin
ish drawing the line. "Whst can he
do Mr.. Wolfe?" said Harold Crook,
The book says not to remove the
pen until the whole line is drawn"
Gus GrutzmacEer was absent Thurs
day.
Mor1orte Mellow, Joe Kimball and
Vernon McCallister were absent Wed
nesday afternoon.
Miss Cortner was asking about the
different keys in music and she ask.
ed: What is the key of one sharp?'
"G' said Clara Griffin, "and whizz

WHEN THEY PLAYED cRoouET
Writer Tells About the Game That Fas-
einated the Young People Of His
Generation.

In this age l fear everybody has
nearly forgotten about the dear old
fashioned game of croquet. remem-
ber the time back home when it was
the thing, says writer in the Jack.
sonville (Fla.) Times Union.
Why, we used to gather over AT
Cheatham's hotel on a fine afternoon
round at the shady side, and we vii.
lage lads and lassies were in our
glory.
Knock went the mallet against the
ball, and we waited breathless for the
ball to roll through the wicket.
All, such moments the excitement
was intense. Every eye was fixed upon
the result of the stroke and we thought
the whole world was interested.
By crickety, we were some pumpkins
I tell you, at the old game. We didn't
know anything about your modern
baseball games, nor football games
nor polo, nor hockey. nor golf, MOI
mOtOr-bOat racing, nor mOtOr-car rae
ing, nor horse racing.
No, we didn't cnre anything about
knowing, I bet you. AS long as Susie
Green was my partner and we beat
the other side, we didn't care whether
school kept or not.
All we knew was that the game was
exciting to us, and the birds sang for
sheer Joy in the magnolias and the
roses nodded from the old front porch
The long, long days Of youth were
ours and no business cares infested our
world o. dreams.
The old crOquet game!
1t would seem pretty tame to you
Of this fast age and you would chuckle
and make fun of our enthusiasm, but
we were happy, for we didn't know
any better.
