pay Of an already highly paid class of
railroad employees over % per cent.
The effect Of this will be to add $780,

the public in increased freight rates.
The people were never taken into con-
sideration when Mr.. Wilson surrend-

shirk trouble and labor and risk. and
avoid duty by the simple process OF

us out of war The Intellectual Next
can policy is again brought out ana eN-
posed in all its nakedness, anu the
.acid test of which Mr.. Wilson is so
fond Of speaking, is applied to his own
allegations. AS. Col. Roosevelt says:
Every argument against Huerta ap-
piled with the tenfold more truth and
weight against Carranza.' The Presi-
dents defective foreign policy was
likewise shed Of its gloss OF words, and
its deformities subjected to a clear
ANALYSIS. IndeciSion and insincerlty
are marked characteristics OF the
treatment OF both the Mexican anc

OF the more recent issue which the
President has raised by his surrender

Roosevelt takes the same position as
does the Republican candidate tor

The major portion Of the legitimate
concessions held by foreigners today
in Mexico were granted by the late
President Diaz only after having been
offered first 10 white MeX1cans-the
moneyed class of the population
whose knowledge OF their country's
uncertain political conditions made
them prefer investments in pulque and
sugar plantations, where they could
leave a major domo in charge while
they spent their lives in the ease and

The United States is the sole agency
existing for the emancipation Of the
Mexican people from their ignorance

so dreaded by MeXicans and often
mooted here, would be sheer madness
on our part, not merely because of the
impossibility OF assimilating MeXlco's

MERE PERSIFLAGE

President Wilson in his Shadow
Lawn speech of Saturday gives no evil
dence that he has any saving concep-
ton Of the great problems that con-
front the country to-day. He makes
no impression on the thinking minds
of the land when he resorts 10 per
sifage instead OF argument The as
serton that the Republican party was
run on the theory that few men shall
govern the nation, was particularly
unhappy as we'll as unfounded fling.
President Wilson does not even con-
cede that a few men shall govern The
nation. but has usurpeG that function
wholly to himself. If anything has
been clearly established in the past
four years it is that the Democratic
party is Woodrow Wilson-a one man
party.
His entire speech was but an echo
Of his extensively egotistic utterances
made in his indianapolis speech over
two years ago, when he declared that
the Republican party had not ad-
vanced an original idea in thirty years.
This, In spite Of the fact, that not 4
single proposition submitted by Mr.
Wilson to Congress ever passed hat
body in its original state. The only
original idea the President has aver
advanced was that he was not to be
told anything because he knew it all.
He has ruled Congress as no other
Pres ident ever thought OF dominating
it. and by the testimony Of his own
party> leaders lie has subordinatcd
principles and convictions for cxpedl-
ency. He has held himself aloof from

Again We find the World upholdtns

Politically. although BY no means
socially. Mexico today IS in the eVo-
lutionary stage OF our own American
colonies during the late Seventeenth
and carly Eighteenth Centuries. Just
as there evisted then in the Colonies
no communal interests greater than
those of the small local towns anu
villages, so in Mexico the people have
no interest and therefore no authority
in matters affecting either their, stale
or their national affairs. The sole dill
ference is that the Mexican does cheer
and cherish 4 national emblem; but
that does not predicate the existence
of the spirit of practical nationality.

against the better judgments Of tho
patriotic spirits in the Democratic
membership Of Congress.
The record is full of incidents where
the individual conscience has been
suppressed by the arrogance of the
dictator, who now turns his petifog-
ging mind in an attempt to array the
labor class against capital for the sole
purpose that his personal ambition
may be advanced, and without one
thought of the rights and interests Of
the people. 1t is sorry spectacle.
