Price of Cars Likely to Advance.

II il quite evident the automobile maker cannot
long continue 70 sell under his present price lists
unless the cost of raw material takes "A tumble.
"It i, practically certain" says the editor Of
"Tbe Automobile" that all car manufacturers Will
have TO raise the price Of their machines for next
wear If they do not do this and hold the prices
where they are they will have to cut the quality.
This is the unanimous opinion Of men VINO arc
close 10 the present condition of the material
market. There is no important thing IN the
minds of automobile producers to-day than TINS
question Of price.
There Is no need for the maintenance Of pres
ont automobile prices, just there was no need Tor
tbc immense cuts made last summer. The demand
for messenger cars and trucks is such that rise
m price sufficient to cover the rise In the cost OF
materials would hardly lose the industry a single
order. To have the situation covered and more
than covered it would not be necessary to raise
prices Of cars all the way back to what they were
year ago.
Three Of the foremost companies have now
raised the selling figure, Cadillac and Packard hay-
ing done so some months ago, and Chalmers fall
ing into line recently. other concerns need have
no fear in following this lead.
.'The general feeling is that all must meet the
situation fairly and acknowledge that they cannot
continue al present figures when il is costing them
about one-hfth more to build the vehicles than 1t
did year ago, solely because they have to pay
much more for the raw materials. Therefore. it
can b. stated positively that, unless some unfore-
seen and highly improbable easing of Of the de-

ers Of the world except ourselves
have had their hands full with ex-
listing enemies. They have been
straining every resource to the ut
most 20 avoid being conquered +
the enemies already in arms
against them. No country has
been willing to assume hostile re-
lations with US because that would
have the effect of weakening her
and Strengthening her present en-
emies.
More than that, none of the
countries at war has been willing
to incur our passive hostility and
throw to her active enemies the
benefits Of our material and moral
support, free from the limitations
imposed by the law Of neutrality.
Peace is not maintained by the
surrender Of just rights. Peace is
maintained by the assertion of just
rights, calmly, dispassionately,
reasonably, accompanied by a
knowledge Of power behind the as
sertion and a cinviction in the
minds of others that there is be-
hind the power courage and reso-
luton certain to use the power if
need be in defense of the right.

Pooling The People

The Wilson doctrine of "Too
proud to fight" has bred weakness,
cowardice and disloyalty among
our people. Wilson preached UNI
preparedness until forced by an
aroused public opinion to change.
Then in haste he forced the enact
ment of the Hay bill, which mill
tary experts and the thousands of
national guardsmen now on the
border know is poor makoshift
for real preparedness.
People sh uld not be fooled by
the catch phrase, "Wilson has kept
US out Of war" The alternative
of our present conditions is M
war, but honorable peace based
upon the absolute protection of
the lives of our citizens on sea and
land. In this way only can we
gain the respect of other nations.
and in this way only would we &C.
serve it, ..,--a,
Had Gel Ilie.r.y bel &c ,ca that Will
son meant what he said there
would not have been the Lusitania
horror. Had Mexico believed that
Wilson really intended to protect
Americans there would be,a total
~ different situation on our Dor
der. The dreadful toll of Wilson's
Mexican policy is more than 800
American citizens murdered and
many hideous outrages upon
American women. How can wom-
en- at home approve such a record /?
Had Wilson shown strength and
force in the beginning, Mexico
would have feared to commit such
outrages. His weakness provoked
attack and induced contempt.

"HE KEPT US
OUT OF WAR"
A Popular Slogan Which Mis-
leads The People

The campaign slogan that the
administration has kept US out Of
war is no more argument in its
favor than 10 say that the admins
tration ought to be kept in power
because the President did not burn
down the White House.
There were only two sane
courses to take in Mexico-t go
in and restore order to the anarchy
maddened creatures of that coun-
try or to keep out and leave them
to their mutual destruction. But
the administration did both and
neither.
We could have prevented every
outrage that we have tamely suf-
fered, stopped every depreciation
on our commerce, without getting
into the war.
But will not the administration
foreign program get US into future
wars if that program is adopte'
and if future wars occur? The
President has formally announced
that policy to be for the United
States TO join an international al
lance in order to maintain b.
force these four purposes:
First, to enable every people ito
choose the sovereignty under
which they shall live"
Second, to defend Sovereignty
and territorial integrity of the
small states of the world"
Third, to free the world from
aggression and the disregard of
the rights of peoples and of ma
tons"
Fourth, Ito prevent any war be-
gun contrary to either treaty, GOV
enants or without warning"
Is that program one of peace?
Is it not rather an incubator Of
wars? Can such another nest Of
serpent's eggs be found in the re
manship?
cords Of the worlds tangled state
Wilson's Disentangling Alliance
Had these proposals of the ad-
ministration been carried out the
United States would have gone to
war with France to prevent her
seizure of Dahomey, Morocco, AL
giers; with Great Britain when
she occupied Egypt; with Japan
when she swallowed Korea; with
Germany when she took part of the
Chinese Empire; with Great Brit
ain again when she overthrow the
Boer Republic and Orange Free
State and compelled their desper-
ately resisting people to accept
the rule Of an alien power; with
Russia and Great Britain at the
present moment on account Of
their partition Of Persia.
Where would the Presidents
avowed foreign policy Of joining
an alliance to resist aggression
and the violation of treaties lead
US? In every war, each side al
ways claims that the other side is
the aggressor.
Yet Mr.. Wilson calls suc.1 an in
ternational engagement "a olsen
tangling alliance"

ago by the Federal government. With
instruction in animal husbandry, do
mestic science, and agriculture, the
young Indians are prepared to earn
their living and become useful and
industrious citizens. An experimental
farm is the basis Of the study of ag-
riculture. Rigid discipline which
checks undesirable tendencies is en-
forced in the school.
Opportunities to follow farming and
other vocations are given the Indians
through provision made by congress
for this purpose and with the train
ing they receive in the schools, they
are able to get good start in life.
In Wisconsin there are schools for
Indians at Menomonie, La Court de
Oreilles, La Pointe, Odanah reserva-
tion and at Tomah, and similar insti-
tutions are provided on other reser-
vations throughout the country.

PROMISE TO QUIT "BO0sE" DIES
Miles Gordon, Of Hayward
Was Found Dead
Heart Failure GAUGE of Death. Re
mains Taken To Hayward

\ Niles Gordon, aged 81 years and
a resident of Hayward, Wis, was
found dead in Ashland this week from
heart failure. It seems that Gordon
had been arraigned in municipal court
on a drunk charge and was fined $500
and costs which he paid, and one his
promise to quit the 'booze" was let
go, but later in the day purchased a
pint bottle of "booze" and later found
dead. We cannot say that the liquor
he bought caused his death, as it is
credited as heart failure, but this we
do know that Indians are being sold
whiskey in that town as formerly.
Hayward this spring went "dry", but
it would seem that, if it can't be got
ten to at home, why it can be gotten
in other places with more disastrous
results. Mr.. Gordon is brother of
Chase Gordon, Of Bayfield,, Wis, and
was a man of pleasing personality
and outside of whiskey, was good
citizen. He has many friends in this
district who are sorry to hear of his
sudden death. The remains of the i'm
fortunate man was taken to Hayward
for burial.

INDIAN CHILDREN suRHs|sE NATIVES
Reservation School Children
Make Record
By Display Of Work At Madison, Wis.
Display Was Fine.

MADISON, Wis.-"Busy work" "
fashioned by first grade children in
the Keshena industrial school for In
dians on the Menominee reservation,
and equal in kind and quality to the
work of six year old children in the
average Wisconsin public school, is
now being displayed at the state his
torical museum at Madison.
Examples of paper folding, colored
designing, woven paper mats, picture
coloring and penmanship are included
in the exhibit which is representative
of the work Of the first and second
grades in any modern school. A spec
linen of raised letter writing done by
a little blind girl who has been taught
the system of writing by pin pricks is
interesting and illustrates the atten-
ton which is given to individuals in
the school.
One child depicted scene in Eski-
mo life by cutting out snow houses of
white paper and making the animals
and warmly clad motives Of furry ma
terial. One designed a neat picture
frame by winding mating around a
card board. Another wove a pretty
dolls hat out of yarn. Several sam
pies of excellent penmanship are dis
played. All of the specimens are
signed by the children, and such names
as Joe Maskataquot give evidence OF
their Indian origin.
The work was prepared under the
guidance of. Mrs. Eugene Sayles, pri-
mary teacher at the Indian school.
Mrs. Sayles has long record of sue
cessful teaching Of Indian children,
as has her husband who is principal
of the grade school.

years of age are receiving vocational
education in the Menominee school,
