Bryan told the American citizens to

he sent the punitive expedition after
Villa and that lasted eight days.
only a few days ago Villa made a

Germany Bluffs Wilson.
Wilson's attitude has constantly
been that of war His correspondence
with Germany was framed in the trucu-

could be bluffed and they bluffed him.

Wilson's vacillating policies have
gotten the country nowhere, he said,
and the Democrats have taken his lack

BESCHER GIVEN
FIRST VACATION
BY COUNCIL VOTE

About the most important business
transacted by council at its meeting
last night was granting a weeks va
cation to B. A. Bescher, city clerk.
about the first vacation taken by
Bescher since the Chicago worlds
Fair. The announcement that Bescher
desired to spend a week in st. Louis,
sprung on council by Councilman
Handley caused sensation.
Mayor Robbins made a speech from
the throne extolling the virtues of the
city clerk, Councilman White moved
that the leave of absence be made two
weeks and other councilmen sounded
the praises of the clerk while he blush
ed furiously. The vacation was ex-
tended to him by rising vote. He re-
fused to heed the repeated cries Of
speech"
No Decision Reached
The question of drinking cups or
sanitary fountains for the springs at
Glen Miller was discussed for time.
Weishaupt and White called attention
to the fact that there were thousands
of gallons of drinking water at the
Glen but the park was the same as
the Painted Desert to the visitor who
had no cup in his possession. They
recommended a return to the tin cups
again but Inspector Mckinley inform
ed council that City Health Officer
Smelser had announced the doom Of
the public drinking cup. Park Super
intendent Ford has announced that
there Is not enough pressure in the
springs to provide sanitary fountains.
Council finally decided to make an
other attempt to provide such foun-
tains.
Councilman Carter inaugurated a

manded the removal of the turtle at

grudge he had against North Ninth

Appropriates $50 Extra
An ordinance making an additional
appropriation of $50 for coal for the
crematory was passed under suspen-
sion Of rules.
Councilman Waterman demanded
more incandescent lights in South
Seventh street park and was informed
that these lights had not been provid-
ed recently because small boys had
been using them as targets for stone
throwing practice. 1t was suggested
that couple of arcs be provided in
the hope that the boys would take
kindly to them.

Attacks Foreign Policy.
Except for the foreign policy with
Mexico and Germany. Mr.. Allen dealt
lightly with issues, of which he de-
clared there are more than in any
campaign since the Republican party
sprang into existence to right great
civil wrong.
The Adamson eight-hour-day bill he
said is an example of legislation by
duress, bill conceived in fright and
passed in panic, which does not even
give the beneficiaries what they
sought and does not effect labor, ex-
cept the highest paid railroad labor,
100000 men or 20 per cent of the rail-
road employees.
"The railroad men knew they could
bluff Wilson as everyone else has
bluffed him." said Mr.. Allen. "At the
time of the anthracite strike in which
starvation and bloodshed were in
volved, Roosevelt said that his nation
should not be disconnected so he ap-
pointed an arbitration commission on
which were Grover Cleveland and
Raymond Robbins. who has now be-
come one of Hughes supporters.
But We have to give credit to Will
son. He kept us out of war. Then
he made us lick our tongues dry on
stamps to make up our deficits 1t
would be better if we were in war.
Then we would know whether We
were in or out.
Wilson is great note writer and
a wonderful scholar but Huerta wrote
rings around him in the diplomatic ex-
change. Huerta's contumacious an
swer to John Linds ultimatum after
Wilson's 'watchful waiting policy
started March 4; 1913, angered Wilson.
Then he raised the embargo on arms
and Mexico became a slaughter house.
"Then the Tampico incident and 81
900 American marines sailed for Vera
Cruz with orders not to shoot until
shot at because we were at peace
and strictly neutral. The Mexicans
opened fire and after the peaceful in
terchange of diplomacy was over,
$50 Mexicans and 10 Americans had
been killed.

President Wilson Is to be congratu-
lated upon the appointment that he
made for the highest Federal posi-
ton In his gift in this city--that Of
Rivers Mcneil to be Collector Of Gus.
toms at Chicago.
The selection of Mr.. Mcneil was
a singularly felicitious one. In the
first place. the appointee was mem.
Der Of one Of the oldest, most dis.
tinguished and most highly respected
families in Chicago. This fitted In
very happily with the dignity Of the
position and also with the fact that
Mr.. Mcneil had from boyhood been
known as one OF the most ardent and
enthusiastic Democrats In Illinois.
He was the first and only Democrat
In Illinois to declare for the nomina.
ton OF Governor Woodrow Wilson OF
New Jersey for President Of the
United states.
In 1911 Mr.. Mcneil assured the Ed.
itor Of The Chicago Eagle that Gov.
ernor Wilson would be nominated for
President In 1912. He was for him
then and to carry out his desire to
see Wilson nominated, Mr.. Mcneil
announced his candidacy for delegate
to the National Democratic Conven'
ton Of 1912 from the Tenth Congress
sional District. He was elected and
was the Original and long the only
Wilson man In the Illinois delegation
To Mr.. Mcneil more than to any
ether man or set of men was due the
fact that Illinois changed from Clarl
to Wilson at the critical moment and
cinched his nomination.
This tribute to Rivers Mcneil Ii
inspired by the fact that he has
proven himself to be true friend o.
the President by giving an honest
dignified and universally commended
administration as Collector OF Gus
toms.
