because we knew that with the frs
hostile advance all chance OF Pan
american unity would vanish and
that they would naturally turn fol-
sympathy and aid to European coun'
tries with which they are allied in
race and blood closer than with OUT
own. and that the ultimate result
| would be an increase of monarchial
influence among them to our disad-
vantage.
1t would have been easy to have
gotten into war at any time and in
such a war to MAIN and lose thou
sands of Americans. AS it is, in an
effort to maintain peace with and to
secure influence over the Mexican
people. we have submitted to the
loss of less than three hundred Am

probation of American property held

a reversal OF the police which the
United States has been steadily pur-
suing for a quarter o: q century UNI

Wilson,. the policy Of adjusting in
ternational difference by reason in
stead of force, the substitution Of
tribunals of investigation and arbi-
tration for armies and navies and

international disputes. We have
seen Germany and Austria embroil

national life Of Austria by The MUIR
der Of a crown prince through a con-

OF the civilized world was that Ger
many and Austria should not have
launched this attack, although the
was undoubtedly even
more undoubted than the murder of
Americans in Mexico, for the assas-
s;nation of the crown prince was a
blow against the national life of Aus
tria comparable only to the assassin
alton of an American president O
vice-president as the result of a con-
spiracy organized in Mexico. Aus

10 TO endure CRITICISM
and even ridicule in an attempt tc
escape SO awful an example and tc
vindlcate the policy which he and his
predecessors and the entire people OF
the United States had been so per-
sistently urging, that war was TN
necessary in international as we'll as
in domestic disputes, that reason
could accomplish nor than wal and
that investigation and arbitration and
mutual counsel would in the end adj
just the most serious contention.
Is a giant to be charged with lack
of courage when he bears patiently
the sneers, the insults and the weak
blows of a pigmy? Was the giant
United States or its president to be
held up to public reproach because
1t halted in the exercise of its un-
doubted power to crush and de-
stroy? Mr.. Wilson thought not and
the majority of the American peo-
pie think not, and, however i%rritat-
ing the maintenance Of patience and
tolerance may be, they have their re-
wards in that great ~self-mastery
which builds up nations as we'll as
men.
Mistakes in Mexico
Mistakes in Mexico have been
made, yes. and they will continue t o
be made, but they fade into insignif-
icance as compared with the greater
mistake which would have been made
had war been made upon Mexico
with its attendant consequences in
uniting fifteen million people now
torn by factions in intense hostility
to III country, in the promotion OF
fear. suspicion and distrust in every
Central and South American repub-
lie. in the abandonment of Il ideals
regarding the peaceful adjustment Of
international disputes and in adher~
ence to the savage world policy which
has hitherto prevailed. that the only
way Of adjusting an international
dispute is in killing and manning and
destroying. War may yet come with

In spite of the fatuous efforts of
certain American publicists and news
papers to create the impression that
the convention is directed against the
United States. its real objective is Ger
many. Japan fears that Germany,
smarting under the surrender of Kiau-

and commercial influence in China.
At the peace conference that is to fol-
low the war, Germany will employ ev-
cry means to regain Kiau-chow, which
Japan promises to restore to China
with the consent of the Powers.
Should she fail to regain Kiau-chow,
she would by all means try to restore
the Shantung railways now held by
the Japanese. To forestall such
eventualities it is of the foremost i'm
portance that Japan should enjoy the
support not only of England but of
Russia. AS for the United States,
neither Japan nor Russia fears her,

No doubt now about the Topeka
Free Fair being the real thing in the
agricultural exposition line. 1t is
worthy in every way of the support of
the state of Kansas, not only for its
further development in the way of
needed buildings and other improve
ments to the grounds, but also to tide
it over the rainy days that may come
along. And the probabilities are that
the other agricultural states which
have been in the state fair business on
the right sort of a scale for many
years, will get around to the free fair
idea before many more years have
passed.
