We Strike Now
A United People

"Watchful waiting" is | h G

the Republican press. The !

hand shouting with great glee
that they have been urging a
blood tribute for three years and
that Wilson has again reversed
himself. They beat the phrase
about like a puppy does a ball.
We do not deny that they have
had the blood lust, straining at
the leash to get at neighbours
throat. But isn't what has hap
pened just w h a t Mr.. Wilson
meant when he coined the phrase.
Not once has the administration
said that it would not 80 into
Mexico, but that it was watching
and waiting.
No matter how much revolu-
ton was going on down there we
have had no cause to invade the
territory of friendly nation un-
til an overt act was committed.
The ravens are printing long lists
Of American people who have
been killed in Mexico since the
policy of waiting and watching
began. But in nearly every case
It will be found that those people
were gambling with their lives
in taking chances and had no
business there.
But it takes an overt act to
start nearly every great national
event. A mob in the streets OF

Villa ashamed so soon as The
MeXlcans began fighting among
themselves, and incidentally hurt
ing Americans who got caught
there, we would not have been
agreed on it. We know what
that means, do we not?
Wilson has been willing to sit
by and take calumny and abuse
knowing that time would show
him right. But he has only en-
dured what Abraham Lincoln did
before he signed an act freeing
American slaves. This same type
that has assailed Wilson nearly
drove Lincoln crazy. When the
time came to act and freeing the
slaves as a military measure
served to break the back of the
confederacy Lincoln did not hes
itate. Neither has Wilson. Bill

A Farmer In
Some Terrible Plight

1t is related that a farmer liv
ing not so far from here recently
experienced a dream, to him
most narrowing in detail, but in
which he was given vision of
some things in new light and
from which he drew a moral and
brought ultimate wealth and hap
plness to others.
In the dream it came to him
that he had disposed of his wheat
crop Of some 1900 bushels (his
total crop, by the way), and that
he had sold this wheat not to an
elevator or dealer, but to 1900
different customers bushel to
each. A few of the purchasers
paid up at once but the great
majority did not. The total a.
mount, if collected, would have
brought him a sufficient income
to tide him over till his next
crop, but under these conditions
he could not collect for his wheat
fast enough to keep his children
supplied with shoes and meet his
other small current expenses.
Most Of these men may be
depended upon to pay their
bills" he soliloquized, but how
am going to keep my family
and conduct my business while
awaiting their convenience? |
cannot leave my farm work and
run all over the state in an effort
to collect all these small ac-
counts. -
And the majority of the buy
ers reasoned somewhat in this
wise: This amount is too small
T" amount 10 anything, and he
ont need it or worry about it.
there's no hurry, I'll hand it to
him some time.
The individual amounts were
all small, true enough, but in the
aggregate they meant great
Zeal to the farmer, who was hav-
ing a hard time to make ends
meet.
In his struggles and herculean
efforts to find a way out of his
difficulties the dreamer fell out
Of bed and awoke. Running
quickly to his granary he found
inls 1900 bushels of grain still in
tact, and he was most thankful
to discover that he had only.
However, the ha!lucination left
profound impression on h is
mind, and he was unable to find
sleep when he returned to his
bed. Thinking over his dream
and considering the plight of any
farmer or stOckman who would
dispose of his products in such a
manner, he was suddenly struck
by an inspiration.
When the local editor arrived
at his office the next morning he
found this farmer awaiting him.
i am behind on my paper" he
said, and | am here to pay up. ]
have been putting it of. because
I it was only a few dollars and !
thought vou would not worry a.
bout it. However, in a dream
last night | occupied the position
OF newspaper man, having my
source of income scattered all ov-
er the country in small accounts.
Hereafter when it comes time
for me time for me to pay up
YOU may depend upon my being
here promptly. "---EX.
