WILSON'S WEAKNESSES.
AzAGs1N0eMNG CHAEFGuR 1
Just . short review OF President Wit
sons record.
Weakness aud wscillatioa characterize
almest every policy of his saministsatioa
cospaed with u sort oi stubbornaees
which isso often contradictory eleueat
in character of weak men.
The 'oalt rea strength he has shewn
is when he hes tried 10 bull doze his ewn
party in Congress, tbos4h in this be hes
nat always kept consistent.
.10cAL lnDuSnATIoN
Hrs tariff record is, that he hes aban.
doned the old political platform Il the
democratic party; aad,sow favorsa tsrtF
commission to settle tariff matters out
side Of 'poit,os. Meantime there ARE
passing daily, right insfront Of our local
doors. thousands Of carloads Of ,catae
which pay no duty.andswhich enter into

which our cal,fasmersare seudiag their

Senator McCum6sr had not put tho
panty 'intpswer ina box at tho time Of
tho passing, Of the tariff bill by showing
Iths* Canadians had duty ef twenty
cents a'bushel on wheat imported in
ther'country.
The Rural Credits law which is olsim.
ed as a democratic measure 10 not q
partisan measure at all, and may or may
not bedf any special value to tarnaers.
1t is a business proposition oaly sad 1t
will take time aad experience to koow
its value.
The 'Ghild Labor Law SO warmly
advocated by Wilson is said to be Of
little or.ao value because Of . Joker
which SLOWS the'big southern factories
to successfully -evadeits; provisions.
The majority of the congressman are
democrats and the majority of tho dem.
ocrats ace from the south. Anyone who
will take time to look over the appropri-
alton bills passed last year would need
no farther proof when they read Of the
distribution of "'pork::"
IN-cNN1L SERVICE
The ':civil service" this administration
has shown to be farce.
For example right here in Pembina
county almost every republican post
master has been fred and replaced by a
democrat through the 'clvil service''
|channel, and by the same means the
new postmasters have been settled to
their jobs for lie. Some of the republi-
can postmasters thus displaced were in
the postal service tor many years, but
apparently when the examination took
place they had forgotten how to handle
mail. Humbug and fraud, that's all.
Even the kindly Secretary Bryan had q
warm place in his heart for "desereving
democrats"
WEAK CABINET SELECTIONS
Mr.Wilson's cabinet show that for the
most part weak slections. The charges
in the cabinet show that the cratic
changes in Mr.. Wilson's opinions. Mr..
Bryan Is secretary of state signed one
diplimatic note to Germany. Later he
resigned that then sign another note on
the same subject. What was wrong?
The notes or Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Bryan?
Evidently something or somebody had
changed opinions from the time of one
note to the other. We leave the demo.
Gratis to decide. Only there was vacil.
lation.
On the matter of preparedness his
Secretary Of War resigned because Nj.
Wilson had again changed his mind
after announcing bis first views.
Everybody, including most democrats
have been hoping that Secretary of the
Navy, Josephus Daniels, would also get
mad and vaccate, He still resumes the
clown of the cabinet.
THE EUROPEAN WAR
Mr.. Wilson's course in diplomacy with
the warning nations OF Europe covers
too much ground to particularize in an
article Of this length. Suffice to say
that his diplomacy has neither pleased
the Teutonic or the Entente Allies. All
nuetral nations have looked in vain for
the United States. the largest and most
powerful of the neutral nations, for
leadership and show of power. The war.
ring and neutral nations have alike
