Empty Phrases Instead
OF Concrete Action

Not once has President Wilson
squarely placed before the Amer
lean people the question which
Abraham Lincoln put before the
American people in 1860; what is
our duty? Not once has he ap-
pealed to moral idealism, to the
stern enthusiasm of strong men
for the right. On the contrary, he
has employed every Evolutionary
device to lull to sleep our sense of
duty, to make us content with
words instead of deeds, to make
our moral idealism and enthus-
iasm evaporate in empty phrases
instead of being reduced to con-
crete actiOn.-From the speech OF
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, deliver.

Wilson's Ignoble Unsuc-
cessful Little Wars

President Wilson took Vera
Cruz in 1914, as we were officially
informed at the time, to get sa
lutte for the flag, and to prevent
the shipment of arms into Mexico.
He did not get his salute. He did
not prevent the shipment of arms.
But several hundred men were
killed or wounded; and then he
brought the army home without
achieving either object. President
Wilson sent an army into Mexico
in 1916, as we were informed at
the time, to get Villa dead or
alive" They did not get him dead.
They did not get him alive. Again
several hundred men were killed
and wounded. Again President
Wilson is bringing the army home
without achieving his object. o,

campaign. At it's conference at
Colorado Springs, on Aug. II, the
following resolutions were pass
ed:
Resolution /: Whereas, t h
nres sent administration under
President Wilson and the Demo-
cratic party, has persistently OPP
posed the passage of national
suffrage amendment, and
Whereas, each of the other ma
tional parties, either by its plat
form or through its candidates, is
pledged to the passage Of feder-
al amendment, enfranchising wo-
men, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the National Wo-
mans Party, so long as the Cppo-
sition of the Democratic Party con-
tinues, pledges itself to use its
best efforts in the twelve states
where women vote for President,
to defeat the Democratic candi-
date for President; and in the
/ eleven states where women vote
for members of Congress, to de-
feat the candidates Of the Demo
cratic party for Congress.
Resolution 2: Resolved, that
we congratulate the Progressive
Prohibition and Socialist parties
upon the definite stand which they
have taken in their endorsement
of suffrage. for women by nationa
action.
Resolution 3: Resolved, thai
we commend the position of the
Republican candidate for Presi
dent, Charles Evans Hughes, fol
the unequivocal stand which HI
has taken for human liberty by hi
endorsement of suffrage for wo
men by national action, and as
sure him of our appreciation o
his statesmanshiplike position.

 IN FINE CONDITION
Federal Inspector Compliments Post. master WilbOurne on Local
 Building.

Mai. w. Haverstick, inspector of buildings for the United States treas ury department, made an official visit to Pine Bluff yesterday, and after thoroughly examining into the condl- tion of the local federal building, stated to Postmaster John D. Will bourne, custodian of the building, that it is in better condition than any oth- CT federal building in the state ot Arkansas.
 The building at Fayetteville has held the record in this respect for several years, and the, pronounce ment by Maj. Haverstick was consid- cred a high compliment by MT. Will
 bourne, who has been postmaster and
 custodian just about four years,
 which is about half the lifetime of
 the building. which was constructed in 1909. Maj. Haverstick lives and
 has his headquarters at Waukesha, Wis, but spends most of his time travelling over large area of the country. inspecting federal buildings. A number of improvements rec ,m- mended by Postmaster Wilbourne, all in the postoffice section of the build ing, met with the approval of Maj Haverstick, who will suggest and urge them, in his official report. If these improvements are approved by the
 higher authorities, the work will be done within the next few months.
