Wilson's Clear Defy

In his brief speech to the Press club
in New York June 80, President Will
son made the most virile and striking
utterances Of his career.
In simple, pointed language that
went to the core of his subject the
President voiced his intimate views
and purposes with regard to Mexico,
and rose to a plane of moral courage
and self-detachment, that is calculat-
ed to leave his opponents gasping what
to think OF say,
The President dismissed as self-ev-
ident propositions that it is nations
duty to protect and honor and defend
its territory. The methods only are
debatable. Should we act upon inn
pulse and passion, or should we be
guided by justice and reason and right
principles, consult the opinions of
mankind, plan the thing we mean to
do, the results we wish to obtain, and
forecast and control the consequences.
1t is the easiest thing to strike. Ag-
gression is spontaneous--an Impulse.
But would there be any real glory for
America in war of conquest on Mex
leo? Do the American people wish
war if the objects can be attained by
more humane methods? The Pres
ident does not own the government of
the United States. He cannot use it
to wreak his passion or serve his am
billions. He is the servant of the peo-
pie. He is conceEned with what they
desire, not with the interest of a few
capitalists to enhance the value of
their Mexican investments" His
personal and political fortunes must
not be permitted to figure in the mat
ter. He is concerned to do the right
thing and with the verdict of history,
not to be reelected on November 7.
1t will make little difference whether
he is President for four years more,
but a great deal of difference if he
should needlessly and wrongfully in
volve the two countries in war.
If those who started the European
war had used their heads and paid
decent respect to the opinions of man
kind" before they plunged into it,
how much remorse and misfortune
they would have saved themselves and
others.
Mr.. Wilson, in short, is prepared to
fight for the protection of our nation
al honor and the defense of our terri
tory from Mexican outrage and in
vasion, but he is not prepared to as
sumo dictation of their national af-
fairs or to wage war Of conquest on
them either for glory or for spoils.
The Presidents Press club speech
is an open and mortal challenge to the
swashbucklers, the jingoes, the would
be eXploiters and imperialists, all the
who have striven and clam
ored for war with Mexico to serve
their own selfish aims and desires, |
financial, political and otherwise. 1t |
serves notice on them that he is stand |
ing by his guns, that his policy of |
reason and patience is inexhaustible,
and that while he does not arrogate
the power to control circumstances
and prevent war in the last resort, !
his ear will always be open to the
counsels that may open the way to
and proftably avoid it, and
failing that he will conduct and re-
strict its operations in the interest of |
humanity and with due regard to the
rights of others.-Knoxville Sentinel. |

ly desired to be recalled; that he did
not wish to bold his place any longer.
He also told lie of letter he had re-

Republican administration which ap-
pointed him.

l.. Wilson, an oil producer of Frank

cratic National Committee, repudi-

litical reasons as Ambassador to
France by President Wilson at the out
break of the European war.

HOPES FOR WAR WITH MEXICO

Events have so shaped themselves
that the utterances of Mr.. Hughes
with regard to the Mexican situation,
in his address of acceptance, will CON
stitute real test of his courage and
Americanism. 1t is to be hoped that
he will come out squarely and un-
equivocally in favor of forcible inter
yention. Wausau (Wis.) Record

FROM THE PEOPLE
THE DESPAIR DAIRY.

Pendleton, Ore, Dec, %.
Editor East Oregonian:
In behalf of my customers and in
justice to my business l beg to make
the following statement regarding the
article in last evenings paper, in re-
gard to the condition of my dairy. In
the first part what l here say l do
not intend as a criticism of the desire
of the city officials to make Pendleton
a clean and wholesome city. But very
much to the contrary. for l am as
anxious that it should be SO as they.
Although l have. been handicapped
by being inside the city limits in some
what pinched quarters with quite a
few cows, l have kept my corral in
good condition, always ranking we'll
up to the head in alFstate inspection
which an examination of those rec
Ords will reveal
In following the growth of my busi-
ness. 1 have constantly been compelled
to add more stock without a CORES
ponding increase in corral room, and
the result has been when the wet
weather set in I have been unable to
prevent the stock from tromping the
corral into mud
l have been intending to move out
side the city limits for some time, but
was unable to secure a suitable loca-
ton until a month ago whereupon
made arrangements to move, and in
doing so l was compelled to let things
go, with the result there was COM
plant.
AS to the cleanliness Of the milk
and cream l market | extend an invi-
tation to anyone who desires to in
yestigate. Yours truly.

THE IMPOVERISHED RICH

MF it is true that charity is
sweet then it should be
confined to no particular
set or class. The charity most
frequently spoken of is that
displayed when rich or well-tO-
do people give of their worldly
possessions to others in less
fortunate shape financially. In
the large cities it is the custom
for many people to do this and
very frequently they have large
sized photographs taken Of
themselves while in the act.
But the field of charity is
broad. Quite often the rich are
4he ones ~ 10 should be given
succor. Poverty of the heart
or soul is often found in costly
mansions vhi'n humble cot
uages. inhabited by people
whom sore call lowly, may be
rich indeed in character and
happiness.
While people with money to
spare are being organized to
aid those in material want it
would be extremely appropri-
ate and most Christlike could
something be done by the poor
n behalf of the impoverished
ich.

REMNANTS OF ART

0singular exposition is be-
II ing arranged in Paris, says
an exchange. All avail
able art treasures from the war
zone, especially those injured
by missiles or vandalism, are
being exhibited in their trun.
Gated condition in the Musee of
the Petit Palais. The territory
from which these treasures are
drawn are the Pas des Calais,
rOise, Marne, Meuse. VOsges,
Meurthe-et- Moselle and Cote
d'Ar.
Among the exhibits are the
st. Gervais by Rubens, from the
scissors cathedral with a big
rent cut into the canvas by a
bullet; the Mignonne Baig-
neuse by Chatelet (XIIIth CEN
tury) from the church of Vic
sur Aisne; a ninth century mis-
sal (the only copy eXtant) from
Maurupt, a bullet having boreo
its way through the leaves;
the famous Saint Antoine by
Vandyke from Reims; the
Sainte Genevieve from the ca
thedral at Souain, attributed to
Guinot in the eleventh century {;
a galaxy of headless statues in
stone, wood and metal from
Valencienne, Tourcoigne, DOu-
al and Feaux, notably the
Twelve Apostles from Arras,
and the three Magi from the
Lille cathedral.
A family of artists have un-
dertaken to put together what
fragments could be found of
