this session and shall make my sug-
gestions as few as possible; but there
were some things left undone at the
last session which there win now be
time to complete and which it seems
necessary in the interest of the public
to do at once.
In the first place, 1t seems to me i'm
peratively necessary that the earliest
possible consideration and action
should be accorded the remaining
measures of the program of settle

of your last session In view of the pub.

OUR MEXICAN POLICY
BASED ON HUMANITY
How the President Has Upheld
the Rights of Small Nations.
RESISTED WAR PRESSURE.

Is Determined That the Citizens Of
Americas Sister Republic Shall Be
Permitted to Work Out Their Own
Freedom and Self Government
president Wilson's faith in democ-
racy and the unselhshness Of the Unit
ed States in international dealings
have been strikingly expressed In his
Mexican policy.
1.-THE presidents demand for Mexico
s-justice."
The larger phases of the relations of
the United States with Mexico during
President Wilson's administration, as
well as an interesting and complete
narrative Of events, are presented au-
thoritatively in the Mexican chapter
of the Democratic National Textbook,
from which these quotations are made:
Two considerations have animated
the president in the formulation Of his
Mexican policy and have compelled
his adherence to 1t throughout his ad-
ministration. namely:
"The firm conviction that all nations,
both the weak and the powerful, have
the inViolable right to control their in
ternal affairs.
"The belief, established upon the his
tory Of the world, that Mexico will
never become a peaceful and law abid-
ing neiehbor of the United States until
she has been permitted to achieve a
permanent and basic settlement of her
troubles without outside interference.
"The Mexican problem in its present
form has existed for the American gov
eminent ever since our frontier was
extended to the Rio Grande When
the people maintained the peace 1t was
because they were forced to do so and
not because justice reigned I'm the land
Thus 1t was that the history OF Mex
leo. like the history of every aspiring
people. pressed upon President VIII
sons consideration the truth that no
permanent good relations could exist
between this great northern republic
ana the one Immediately south of us
until she had been LETT free to put her
house i'm order. however painful that
process might be ana whatever the de
mands it might make upon the forbear-
ance Of the United States.
"Thcre was a powerful pressure for
war-a terrible war-by a we'll armed
powerful nation against an unarmed,
bankrupt people, exhausted by five
years Of civil strife. but who still re
tanned enough Of patriotic feeling to
unity them against an invader 1t
was the old. old question whether the
United States should impose a peace
on Mexico; whether for the sake of
no fftf ..f r, g -
should permanently suppress Mexico's
upreaching toward freedom and self
government"

IDAHO HISTORY IN
IDAHO SCHOOLS

The following is a press bulle-
tin issued by the state depart
ment of education at Boise:
Growing interest is manifest
ed in the movement to give our
children in the schools some
knowledge Of how Idaho and the
Northwest were won from the
desert and made into a land of
homes and civilization. Through
out the state men and women
who have made study of piO-
neer history are Offering their
help.
What is most needed just now
is a collection of stories for chill
dren in the primary and gram
mar grades. The State Depart
ment of Education has already
some material, but more is need
ed. The latest contribution
consists of the Nez Perez Indian
legend Of the creation of man,
which has been furnished by Adj
jutant General Moody, who lived
for many years among the Nez
Perce, and is himself an adopted
member of the tribe. Dr. Moody
has promised other legends, and
also stories of Idaho life.
We should have hundreds OF
stories from which to select the
best to give our children an in
sight into the lives and charac-
tiers of their parents and fore
fathers and the courage, energy
and intelligence that were de-
manded by pioneer life and
struggles.
Education must begin a.
home-that is the only place j
can begin. Only by knowing
and feeling the true interest ant
power Of our own history can oul
children fully grasp and sympa-
thize with the history of GU
country and the world.
All who are interested ar
asked TO send stories of pionee
life in Idaho and the Northwes
to the State Department Of Edu
cation for use, if suitable, in tn
collection of stories for use il
schools.
