And I'm a Boy Again I!

It's Halloween! And out on the street
l hear the patter of merry feet;
And as l listen-in some strange way
The cobwebs of time are brushed away
And I'm boy again!
I'm all dressed up in Pas old clothes,
I've rubbed charcoal all over my nose
I'm ringin' door bells and throwin' corn
An tootin' away on an old tin horn.
With skinny" and "Bilr I'm chasin'

Grabbin' their masks and pullin' their

Movin' door steps and stealin' clothes
Runnin for dear life away from the

Too busy to hear Pa calm for me-
Yellin': "Ouch, Pop. I'll not do it again,' -

I'm under the covers that Ma tucked

Thinkin' of goblins and holdin' my

MAKING WAR; CALLING 1T PEACE


MT1LsoN sent our navy to Vera
wv Cruz. where it shelled the city.
where a landing party of ma
rines and bluejackets went ashore and
fought with the Mexicans.
But he called it beace.
Wilson took possession of the Mex
lean customs at Vera Cruz. He caused
them to be administered by officers of
the American army. who collected a
the Mexican people. That money Is
now in the Treasury at Washington,
unaccounted for in any of Secretary
McAdoo's fantastic Treasury state-
ments. This was an act, perhaps of
piracy, perhaps of theft, perhaps of
war.
But he called it peace.
Wilson sent Pershing's column upon
the soil of a foreign country, under in
structions to capture or disperse bodies
of citizens of that country. Pershing's
men were ambushed, fired upon, some
of them killed.
But he called it peace.
Wilson sent naval forces to Haiti
and to Santo Domingo and to Mica
ragua-in one case to fight with and
to kill the people of the country who
were indulging in what he has re-
peatedly declared to be their own
business; in another case to maintain
n president in office whom the people
of the country did not want, and in
another to take over and to administer
the purely internal affairs of the
country.
But he called it peace.
Wilson called out more than a hun
dred thousand of the National Guard:
he sent them to the Mexican border;
he is spending more than 5000, 900 a
day to keep them there.
But he calls it peace.
The ancient Roman historian, Taci-
tus, tells of how che peoples of whom
he wrote ravaged the lands of their
enemies, putting to death the inhabi-
tants and destroying their property.
They made wilderness and they
called 1t peace" he exclaimed.
Wilson makes war.
But he calls it peace.

He has destroyed world tradition
in diplomacy that America means

He has alienated from America the
good will of most of the nations OF
Europe.
He has dealt insincerely with for
eign questions and has failed to settle
finally a single one.
He has waged war in Mexico in a
manner that has stamped our people
as towards in the minds of the Mexi-
cans. He demanded a salute to our
flag and didn't get it: he went after
Villa and didn't get him.
He has allowed Mexican bandits to
obtain American arms with which
they sacked our towns. killed our
soldiers and murdered our citizens.
He has not kept up out of war, but

Princeton Alumni For Hughes

For Hughes zoos. For Wilson, 651.
This is the result of a nonpartisan poll
of Princeton alumni taken by a com
mittee of graduates from that Univer-
sity under the auspices of the Hughes
National College League. The poll
reveals this year: Whereas 81 Is the
total Taft and Roosevelt vote which
is going to Wilson. Equally significant
Is the fact that $50 meS who voted
for Roosevelt in 1912 are going to
vote for Hughes and only 81 for Will
son. In other words. over 90 per cent.
of the Progressive vote is going to
Hughes.
