THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT

NJ HOUGH they cannot ol
VI dare not disagree with
the vigorous course Pres
ident Wilson follows in his
dealings with Carranza some
anti-administration papers fall
back on the cry that he should
have acted sooner.
But the very patience and
deliberation shown by the pres
ident is what makes our pres
ent position so sound and it is
accountable in a large measure
for the enthusiastic and loyal
support manifested every
where throughout the country.
The hasty entrance of the
United States into war with
Mexico, even if intended for
Mexico's good would have
been resented by many. We
would have been playing the
bully's part. We would have
made enemies out of all the
Latin-American countries inI
Central and South America.
We would have been untrue to
our own traditions.
During many weary months
the president tried in every
possible way to have the Mexi-
cans compose their own
troubles. His efforts were in
good faith. Mexico knows this,
50 do the South American
countries, so does the civilized
world.
That line Of effort having
failed to produce results we

church then spoke on the offering
that was taken once year for state

that the material keynote Of success

Of the Foreign Christian Missionary
Society, next told how the money
could best be raised. His method was

said. was q systematic effort to carry
