THE WORLD MUST BE MADE TO
REALIZE WHAT AMERICA
STANDS FOR

BY President Wilson
The final test of the validity, the
strength, the irresistible force Of the
American ideal has come. The rest
of the world must be made to realize
from this time on just what America
stands for, and when that happy time
comes when peace shall reign again
and America shall take part in the
undisturbed and Unclouded cOUnsels
of the world, it will be realized that
the promises Of the fathers, the am
billions of the men who fought for
the bloody soil Of Kansas, the ideals
of the men who thought nothing Of
their lives in comparison with their
ideals, will have been indicated and
the world will say: America prom
ised to hold this light of liberty and
right up for the guidance Of our feet,
and behold she has redeemed her
promise. Her men, her leaders, her
rank and file, are pure of heart; they
have purged their hearts Of selfish
ambition and they have said to all
Men and brethren, let us
live together in righteousness and in
the peace which springeth only from
the soil of righteousness ITSELF -

COCHRAN'S COMMENT

WHERE LABOR STANDS. - In
coming out for President Wilson and
Gov. Dunno, the Illinois Federation
of Labor has shown it's appreciation
of the fairness of both Wilson and
Dunno to labor. And that's a good,
thing. One of the criticisms made
against organized labor has been
that it doesn't always stand by pub
lie officials who are friendly and
fair. The belief that labor won't
vote soIdly but will split three ways
along party lines is what gives such
men as Senator Sherman the cour-
age to openly fight organized labor.
But once the politicians begin to see
that labor isn't made up of party
slaves, but will stand by it's friends,
it will inspire in all public officials a
wholesome respect for labor's rights.
One of the best things that can hap
pen in this election is for the coun-
try to understand that the workers
in the cities and on the farms elect
the president of the United States
especially when Wall street is lined
up soidIy back of Hughes.

To what hideous uses the Spanish priests
put their churches, may be learned, in part,
from the clipping below:
In the Pittsburgh, Pa The Gazette Times
IA daily paper) appears the following dis
patch:
Monterey, Mexico, Oct 11-A dispatch from
the City of Mexico says:
Acting on secret information that the historic
Santo Domingo Church was being used as
storehouse for arms and ammunition by the OPP
ponents of the cOnstitutonalist government, mill
tary authorities took possession of that edifice
arresting members of the clergy and many wor-
shippers.
Search revealed cavern under the main altar
which was filled with partly decomposed bodies of
men who had evidently met violent deaths. The
identity of the victims of the alleged political plot
has not been established. More than 800 rifles
and a quantity of ammunition were found con-
cealed in the church."
Admiral Fletcher made similar grewsome
discoveries in other Romanist Churches.

tious American should consider is, that oar

Nenico, since February, 1918
Our Ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson,
opened the ievioZable doors Of the american
Embassy to the traitors-Felix Diaz and
Huerta-and it was IN our house that the
crime against the Constitutional government
of Madero was plotted.
That fact has been made matter of his
tory, in the United States publication known
as the Congressional Record. (See page 11487,
June 26, 1850
Doesn't it arouse your sympathy for the

and to re-enthrone the calling despotism Of
Spanish priests, land-kings, and foreign
holders of Concessions.
Is not President Wilson continuing the
plans which we're halted by the revolt of Villa
and Carranza?
Is not Wilson placing himself just where
Mora, Diaz and Huerta wanted him?
Our Government invaded Mexico, first,
with 5000 troops, demanding the Mexican
railways, and the right to throw garrisons
into Mexican towns.
Was that the way to hunt for Villa?
Our Government camped its soldiers on
Mexican soil, threw up intrenchments, and
sent out negro cavalry to "scout."
Was that the way to hunt for Villa?
The first blood on Mexican soil began
to flow, when those Negroes amused Them
selves by shooting unarmed Mexican villagers,
at San Geronimo and Aguas Calientes,
whom they called Villitas, after they were
lying dead at their own doors
Those Negroes rode into Parral, without
permission, and in violation of President Will
sons written agreement with Carranza; and,
after refining their horses on the public square,
they refused to go back to camp when the
Mexican authorities OBJ ected to their armed
intrusion upon peaceable village.
Then came the shooting down Of los Mexi-
can civilians, whose blood soaked the dust IN
front of their own doors.
AS if that wasn't enough, Generals Funs-
ton and Pershing continued to bring troops
into Mexico, until 10000 Americans were en-
camped on Mexican SOIL
Hunting Villa? No.
Hunting Carranza? Yes.
Captain Boyd goes South, after Funston
and Pershing have been notified that Ameri-
can soldiers must not come farther South.
Hunting Villa? No.
He takes those same Negroes with him to
Carrizal refuses to listen to the Mexican gen-
eral, refuses to listen to his 0acn white scout,
refuses to q0oit fom' hours for the Mexican
general to get authority from headquarters
for the Negroes to pass Southland saying,
in effect, that the Mexicans are bluffing and
won't fight he loses his life.
The Negroes went into panic, after their
white officers fell and most of those that
were not killed in the fight were captured.
Some fled back to camp, and began to reel
off "nigger news, contradlcting the white
scout, the white officer, Morey and the white
commanders Of the Mexican force.
This "nigger news" has formed the basis
of all the editorial hysteria of the daily
papers; and the excitable part of our populay
ton have gone SO slush daft over these black
rascals that resolution has been introduced
in Congress, to bring in the negroes who were
slain, and bury them in the National Airing
ton Cemetery-side by side with the heroic
white men of the Blue and the Gray, that
fought with Grant and Sherman, Lee and
Johnston!
Our daily papers say that Carranza has
