Mr.. Wilson's MYSTERIES.

The most incomprehensibe president
the country ever had is still strewing
verbal puzzles. His recent day of talk
in Detroit proved full of them. He argu.
ed for world trade, before an assembly
of statesmen, as he has argued before
but he gave them a closing rule of bump.
tious superb which would
''kill'' any salesman in foreign land.
The President urged his hearers to &c
abroad in all lands, to Gift their eyes to
/. the horizons of business" and sell Amer
lean goods; but in the very same address
he served notice that he would never use
the power of the government to help
Americans get their pay for the goods
sold, with special reference to some hun
dreds of millions of dollars which thous-
ands of Americans have sent into MeXi-
co to build railroads and develop mines
and oil fields. Incidentally this was no.
tlce to every robber in Mexico, and to
every scheming dictator, whose ideas on
confscation are morally at par with
those of bandits, that they might 60 as
far as they liked with the possession of
those Americans who had lifted their
eyes to that particular portion of 1.-The
horizons of business" Watch the re-
suits!
The President asserted that the reason
MeXlcans think this country wants to pos
'sess theirs is to be found in the action of
American investors. Because they built
railroads? French and Dutch and Eng
lish investors built many of ours; did this
inspire suspicion among US? Because
Americans opened mines, and employed
thousands of Mexican people? That de-
velopment began years ago; the awaken
ing which the President notes appears to
us somewhat belated.
No commercial development could have
had much influence In arousing the hos
tility of the Mexican people. They are
doing their best to keep the mines work
ing and the railroads running because
they see that the only economically fer
tile spots in the land are those watered
by the streams of foreign capital
1t is what President Wilson does him
self, officially. that alarms the MeXicans.
They saw him interfere in their govern
ment to the extent of thrusting out of
office de facto president, and setting
up pair of gringo-haters in his place;
they saw him shell and seize by armed
force their principal seaport, and hold it
for some months; they saw him check
shipments of arms to the only real gov
eminent at that time, and speed ship
ments to Villa and Carranza-t very
arms which are now turned against US;
finally, they, the Mexicans, saw him send
an army across the border and keep it
there for months, after it's specified err
rand had failed. Now, like the villain in
the melodrama, Mr.. Wilson asks, MEL
lie, why do you fear me?"
If any ruler of mother land had done
these things to us, need other reason be
sought for the suspicion that would sure
ly prevail here that his nation meant to
be aggressive? Our troubles with Mexico
are principally Mr.. Wilson's own. No
other President ever came nearer having
his own way in everything; and no one
was ever more mystifyingly perverse in
seeking weak advice, and then in charg-
ing to some innocent third party the re-
suits of his own following of that advice.

The Task of the British Empire.

The success of the Deutschland illumi-
mates the task of the British Navy. Its
task is to protect the commerce of the
Empire and its allies. In doing that it
has cut off the commerce of Germany,
the greatest in the world next to It's
own, and bottled up the German Navy,
next in strength to the British.
The task the British Empire is carry
ing now is far beyond anything that pre-
coded it. Besides the million men build
ing and repairing the Navy, there must
be two or three hundred thousand in the
Navy and its supply departments. Then
the five millions in the Army. To feed
them and equip them, transport them
and their food and guns and munitions,
and to manufacture the munitions and
guns and clothing and collect the food
for the five millions, must employ many
more than the million working for the
Navy.
And besides all that England is financ-
ing the war, finding the money for her
own unprecedented expenditure and
lending hundreds of millions to her
allies.
No other government ever developed
such power and resource. No other of
existing governments could come near

Address of Welcome

To Waldo Pomona Grange at Tranquility
Grange Hail, Lincolnville, Tuesday.
July a, 1916.
Worthy Master, Fellow Patrons,
And citizens of Maine,
IT'S with pleasure that greet you
AT Tranquility again.
Since last meeting we have labored
In our own respective ways,
And | trust you each have prospered
Through these most eventful days.
That health and strength have blessed
you
On the battlefield of life,
And that blessings without number
Have been showered on Weans and
wife.
While | sat this morning musing
On the near and distant past.
Many pictures, weird and woeful,
On my retina were cast.
And in thought l journeyed eastward
Ger the ocean, deep and blue,
70 the Old World, whence our fathers
came,
To build for us the New.
And travelled through those countries,
England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales,
Herds of cattle roamed the hilsides,
Happy homes bedecked the wales.
Then | crossed the strait to Paris,
Where Dame Fashion has her home,
Everyone was gay and joyous;
Thence through Genoa to Rome.
IT. +l,o fo,,oJ IH+o,,ol C;+,-
In ltalia's sunny cline,
Where watched the yellow Tiber,
Listened to St Peters chime.
Then | rushed along to Russia
Through Vienna and Trieste,
Gliding down the rolling Danube
By Belgrade and Bucharest;
Through Odessa, Kev and Warsaw,
Through Berlin to Rotterdam,
Making side trips out to Brussels,
Waterloo and Amsterdam.
And, while thus journeyed onward,
Pleasant were the scenes | viewed,
Loaded vineyards, waving graintields,
Verdant meads and stately wood.
Wheels of industry were buzzlng
Throughout Europe's broad domains,
Earth was yielding up her treasure,
Sheep and cattle grazed the plains.
Here all forms of mental culture;
Music, literature and art,
Played their roles in life's great drama,
Science nobly played her part.
Yea, the peoples of these countries
Had all mortal life requires,
And their hopes were pointing upward
Like their own cathedral spires.
Peace and plenty reigned throughout
The European realm,
Her Ship of State sailed smoothly on
With wisdom at the helm.

True To A Standing Record.


President Wilson has recently seen a
great light. AS result be has adopted
lofty tone in speaking of American
citizenship, or of what is called, not al
together fellcitously, "Americanism. !"
Nobody could wish for better sentiments
than those which he now utters upon that
subject. Mr.. Hughes did not have to
wait for the great light, He did not wait
for an occasion to befall when it would be
profitable if not essential for him to utter
such sentiments. He made his record on
that subject years ago, and the most ro-
bust and advanced declarations which
could now be made would be merely an
echo of his former sayings. Eight years
ago, while he was governor of New York,
he was called upon to make ST.. Patrick's
Day address. He did so, taking "Ameri-
canism" for his theme. He said
"AI we need today in practice and
actual life is to live up to those things
which in public life we pretend to honor.
The men who come here from other coun-
tries seek this as the land of opportunity,
but it must be the land of law: it must be
the land of fairness; it must be land of
patience; it must be the land Of reason;
it must be land where intelligence is
uomlHdnC anu WneTe everything is done
in a way which the community, coming
from our schools reinforced by study, can
approve and take to heart because il COM
mands their judgment. The United
States is full of men that you cannot buy.
The community is replete with men who
will die for the Flag, and that are willing
to serve the Flag in peace, which is so me-
times harder"
There was the American statesman's
ideal of American citizenship, expressed
years ago, on purely non political occa
sion. That was the expression, not of
sudden Impulse, not of new concep-
ton, not of bit of shrewd opportunism
meant to serve the exigencies of a cam
paign, but rather of fixed habit of mind.
the expression of spirit which domjnat-
ed his whole life. Boston Transcript.
