HE KEPT US OUT
OF WHAT WAR?
DiSingenuous to Boast That It's
Through Any Act of Wilson
We Are Out of the Euro
pean Contest.
RATHER SHOULD BE BLAMED
FOR MEXICO BELLIGERENCY

During the Present administration We
Have Seized asMexican Port and
Sent Our Entire Army and Militia
to Fight Mexicans While Armed
Mexican Forces Have Invaded Amer
lean Soil and Fought Battles Against
Our People.
Sometimes You hear men, sensible
men, too say, '1'm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept us
out OF war"
Ask such men a sGovt question. Ask
them, i''Out of what war;
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of the
European war? No. He has himself
In formal address to congress spoken
Of the European war as "a war with
which We have nothing to do. war
whose causes do not touch u.s. How
could Mr.. Wilson keep us out OF war
with which we have nothing to do and
whose causes do not touch us?
Did he keep the rest of the western
hemisphere out of the European war?
No Independent nation on this side of
the world is involved In it; the only
people in it are the colonies of Euro
pean powers and they had no voice in
their fate, for they were automatically
at war when their mother governments
went to war. Who kept Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Peru, out of the Euro
pean war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
Did Mr.. Wilson keep US out of war
with MexicoT No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Next
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war. In his term we have seized a
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Next
caEs. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with
IN our boundaries.
President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico during that
time No Mexican cities were seized
by Americans and no armed Mexicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was in the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought of asking the
Amer an people to vote for him be-
cause ne kept US out of war with Mex
leo. He put an embargo on arms so
that American weapons would not be
sent across the boundary. and he re-
fused to interfere In Mexican affairs.
When he left office MexIcans liked
Americans, and Americans were safe
In Mexico. Since ne left Office Mext-
cans hate Americans and Americans
dare not remain in Mexico. Did Mr..
Wilson keep US out of war with Next
co? Not If words mean anything.
Mr.. Wilson did not keep US out of
the European war and he did not keep
US out of war with Mexico.
Out of what war, then7 Detroit

WIDOWS PENSION INCREASE

A Madison news dispatch tells that
there are about TOO widows of civilwar
veterans in Wisconsin who will re-
ceive pensions under the widows
pension act passed by the last session
of congress. This announcement is
made by H. W. Rood, in charge of
the C. A. r. headquarters of the state
The new bill raises the monthly PEN
sion for widows of veterans from Sl2
to $50. This also applies to widows
of civil war soldiers, who subsequent
ly remarked and whose later husbands
have since died. 1t also provides for
widows who, remarrying, have be-
come divorced from their second hus-
bands through no fault of their own.
According to the former law veter-
ans widows, who remarked subse-
quent to June -, 1890, were denied
pension rights, but this time, under
the new law, has been extended to
September s, 1915.
The above applies only to widows
who have arrived at the age of sew
enty years.

UNITED STATES HONOR.
Hughes Criticism Of Foreign Policy
Approved In West
[Portland fore.l Telegram.I


The Republican pare has selected
q standard bearer whose utterances
from day to day justify the people
who chose him. Not. only does he
bring before the country the short
comings Of the Administration that
owes its existence to divided Re-
publicanism, but his criticism is every
where constructive.
He tells what must be done and will
be done by the party he represents to
prevent wastefulness and extravaganza
in the governmental expenditures and
to put stop to the vacillating policy
that has caused other nations to be-
lieve that the United States has no in
tention of backing up its demands
made in the interests of Justice and
humanity.
Most vulnerable of all points in the
Democratic armor Is its foreign policy.
Primarily this is because of the spoils
system by which men trained in the
consular and diplomatic service
through long years, have been displac-
ed TO make room for politicians and
friends of politicians, whose sole claim
to preferment was their services to the
Democratic party
"If l am elected president of the
United States" said Mr. Hughes last
night, 81 propose that every man I
put In charge OF an important depart
ment shah be man eminently fit to
discharge the duties of that depart
ment."
The denuding of the diplomatic serv-
ice Of men Of experience in order to
supply political jobs, as has been done
by Mr.. Wilson, or with his consent.
Mr.. Hughes denounces as "a capital
offense-trading in the good name OF
the United States and damaging its
honor" Nobody" he adds, has
right to pay political debts with the
good name and honor Of the United $
States''
Which is clear proof that Mr..
Hughes has not been unmindful of the
high principles Of government which
must be maintained In order that this
republic shall maintain its place as a
shining example TO all nations.

Just as 1t IS now obstinately shut

preparedness, for three years the VIII

need of adequate military prepared

army that could only muster 10000
available men and refused to continue
the established policy of building up
our navy. When the time came for ac-

troops to police the border, and this
force has been supplemented by a trile

interpret the signs of the time military
preparedness would have been well un-
der way instead of barely begun
