that the time was up at II o'clock to-
night. l came near fetching you,
though, Deering, on that soup ques-

grabbing Sir Perciyal's hand.
The halberdier lets out a yell and
jumps three feet high.
Look out for those hands, says he,
and he holds 'em up. You never saw

like a cyclone and catches both his
hands in hers. Poor hands! Dear
hands,! she Sings out and sheds tears
on 'em and holds EN- close to her
bosom. Well, sir, with all the Rind-
slosh scenery it was Just like a play.
And the halberdier sits down at the

the rest of the supper. And that vas

Our Three Wilson Wars.

Colonel ROOSEVELT Is right when he
declares that President WILSON'S pol
icy IS an iucessant Indictment 10
war against us by the MeXicans. In
truth, his policies of evasion, trickery
and p%oltroonery have thrust us INTO
three wars of national peril, national
spoliation and national iniquity.
1t was war against the security as

agers in merchant ships on the high

more of 1t for a whole year; and we

Mexicans raided our territory, sacked

and soldiers alike. Mr.. WILSON Is
still inviting more of 1t and we shall

1t was war when the Big Four
brotherhood at the head of their
bodyguard stormed the capital, cap
tured the White House and seized the
reins Of government, executive ana
legislative, for the loot of the pockets
Of the American people. MIR. WILSON

II, whose ethical notions of campaign
propriety were 50 fastidious that he

in every case Mr.. WILSON used Ian
guage that could not be associated
with the constitutional duty Of the
President to give Congress informa-
ton on the state Of the Union and
recommend necessary and expedlent
measures for its consideration.
We undertake to say that Congress
does not approve of Mr.. WILSON'S
advocates method, regarding 1t rs
an invasion Of its prerogative; and we
are sure that the people dislike, dis.
trust and fear 1t. Senator CHALLENGER
may not be right when he says that
President WILSON'S appearance be-
fore the two houses is II grand stand
play" Our impression is that he fol.
lows out his theory Of party leader
ship In talking to Congress like Il
schOolmaster, reading his thesis and
pointing the way to the legislation he
wants. Mr.. WILSON'S idea is that the
President should be supreme in his
party and rule his Cabinet. and should
also, according TO his lights, be the
pillar of the peoples hopes. This Is
so difficult u task that Mr.. WILSON
succeeds only in appearing to strive
to be n political boss.

4 reader sends us an extract from
a speech delivered in 1SOS by JOSIAH
QUINCY on the embargo. and suggests
that the miterancc Is 80 applicable to
the present time that 1t ought To hc Of
general interest" The extract is as
follows:
But to my eye. the path Of our duty
is as distinct as the Milky Way. I, If
the path OF active preparation. Of digni-
fled energy. 1t is the path of 1916.
1t consists not in abandoning our rights.
but in supporting them. as they exist,
and where they exist-on the ocean as
well as on the land. But I shall he told.
This may lead to war; ask, Are
we now at peace? Certainly not. UNI
less retiring from insult be peace unless
shrinking under the lash be peace The
surest way to prevent war is not to fear
it. The idea that nothing on earth Is so
dreadful as war is inculcated too studi-
ously among US. Disgrace Is worse! Adam
donment of essential rights is worse"
Stirring words, and 1t Is impos-
sible to read them without II thrill of
pride in the days when the leaders Of
! this republic were not too proud TO
fight. But 1t is pretty late in the pres
cnt or, to recall them. There have
been times since March I. 1913, when
half of the brave Americanism eX-
pressed by QUINCY would have saved
many American lives.
The dead cannot he recalled, but the
| ruin of American prestige and the
sacrifice OF American rights may he
partially retrieved If QrINCy's mes
sage speaks to the men Of this country

When II /, remembered. and the CEN

he no longer a doubt that in those coun-
ties the McAicans approve MIR. Wilson's

can border counties of Texas very clearly
shows that Mr.. Wilson's policies and Mr..

fering of the employees. but originated
In the fertile minds of their leaders.
The employees did not petition their
union for help the leaders petitiuned
the men. II is the leaders that are out
after more power. They fully UNDER
stood the workings Of certain single
track minds at Washington. and the
train of thought which monopolizes the
right of way at this time tho Rcelec-
tion Special PUSHES on ~disrcgardlny sig
nails and all safety first warnings.
The demands of the leaders must he
met at any cost and the same old public

about s5o,ooo,o0o a year. or at the rate
Of sl2o "a vote. but that is pretty ex-
pensivc, especially II we stop to figure
that the other 50 per cent. Of railway
employees may follow the example Of

how easy II Is to get money by
coercion.

at all times permitted to express their
true feelings: IL they do. they are OK
