pacific blockade of our coast. The 'guaran-
tee of the safety of non-combantants aboard
the vessels recently torpedoed off our coast
was carried out by American destroyers, not
by the German submarines; if the Germans
had themselves made good and intended to
make good their guarantee there would have
been no necessity for American destroyers to
be present.
CAS- to the course we ought to have followed,
it is to be found laid down in his own ut
terances, and in the platform of his own party
He has himself specifically stated and in the
party platform the statement was reiterated,
that we hold that it is the duty of the United
States to use it's power $ in the In
terests of humanity to assist the world in Sc
curing justice We believe that the small
States of the world have the right to enjoy
from other nations the same respect for their
sovereignty and territorial integrity that the
great Powers insist upon We again declare
fully the policy that the sacred rights OF
American citizenship must be preserved at
home and abroad
II ask all decent men, all right thinking
men of straightforward minds, whether there
ever has been ranzer hypocrisy than the use
Of such expression by the man and the men
who when the conditions they thus set forth
were met to dot, to a line, in the case of the
killing Of our men, women and children on
the high seas and in Mexico, and in the case
of the invasion of Belgium by Germany, in
stantly forgot their duty to America, to hui
mainly and justice, and took no action to back
up their high sounding words.
''He wrote strong notes to both sides, and he
took no action to back up the notes to either

side We incurred resentment from both
sides. In ust one respect We have succeeded
We have induced the belligerents to agree on
one point. They agree In their utter contempt
for America, in their conviction that the
American people cannot be goaded into vlrlle
action to defend the lives of their men, women
and children, and in their certainty that we
are actuated only by the desire to profit by the
agonies of our European brothers.
''Kept us out of WARP If the Wilson Adj
ministration could point to one sacrifice this
nation has made for the right, to one indica-
ton of Willingness to face loss On behalf of q
principle, it might deserve some credit. But
it deserves none. Thanks to President Will

stand up for our own rights, or for the rights
Of weaker peoples. If we had done as we
ought to have done our neutrality would have

He always reverted to his intense belief
that the fibre of national character had be-
come weakened under Mr. Wilson.
''By his substitution of words for deeds
and his betrayal of his fine words by his
deeds he has loosed the spring of American
patriotism. Some of his words have eaten
into the souls of our people with the acid of
degradation.

Theodore Roosevelt opened his campaign
for Cbas. E. Hughes, in the Southwest by
a speech in Louisville, Ky, last Wednesday.
Instead of speaking softly and carrying a
big stick, President Wilson spoke bombastic-
ally and carried dishrag," he said, clicking
his teeth, to the delight of 5000 Kentuckiano
in Phoenix Hall Park Hall
He quoted Andrew jackson to justify his
own course in attacking President Wilson, and
then launched INTO an hours review Of the
Presidents Mexican and European policies
In narrAting the administration warnings to
other powers Colonel Roosevelt said
Il critcise President Wilson because his
have beled one another
''Mr. Wilson's promises before election,
both those made in his own e.eeches. and
those made in the platform, have been so
well-nigh invariably broken that the break
ing Of them has become subject for Jest even
among his own friends
Zone of Mr.. Wilson'S prominent Democratic
supporters III Congress stated with refreshing
franl,Icss the exact truth about NIr. Wilson's
prediction promises and those made on his
behalf when, III answer to some charge Of in
consistency, he responded by saying that oul
platform was made to get into office 0n-and
we have won. You will find this remark on
page 1918 Of the Congressional Record, the
third session Of the Sixty-second Congress. Ii
is impossible to study Mr. Wilson's prediction
promises and posteection performances: it is
impossible to compare the Numerically OPP
posed attitudes he has assumed at different
times on almost every public question; it is
impossible to compare what he says in one set
CT speeches with what he says in another
sional supporter Of his said Of his platform
applies also to hisspceches.
Nov, | do not regard such action on the
part Of Mr.. Wilson and his followers and the
cynical frankness with which they ayoW it as
a matter for jest [ doubt if it is possible
more effectively to undermine public morality
in this country than by accustoming the people
to regard promises made III politics with cynj-
cal amusement as intended only for purposes
OF deception 4 high minded man regards a
promise made on The stump by a candidate for
office, a promise intended to secure the support
Of those to whom it is made, as pledge which
it is as imperatively necessary to redeem as
if it were made in private life to private
individual; and its subsequent reputation in
one case can only be justified by conditions
substantially like those which would Justify 1t
III the other case
':President Wilson's speeches are models of
adrot indirect suggestion and avoidance of

mainly anywhere would make him cross the
line between willing to fight and too proud
to fight ,"
AT the murder of 1874 men, women and
children on the Lusitana," Colonel Roosevelt
continued, his corpuscles did not shout; they
did not even whisper Apparently, all they
did was to suggest to him that it was happy
occasion for his classic remark about being
too proud to fight
I'm proud to be in Kentucky among
Americans who are not too proud to fight"
he shouted as he struck his crumpled hat un-
der the chin of the nearest prominent citizen.
You see that little girl there?" he asked,
pointing at a child Of three years in Red
Riding Hood coat elevated on her fathers
shoulder, she struck conspicuous color note
III the audience. ''Well, just 1913 babies of
about her age were drowned on the Lusi-
tania, continued the Colonel, "and all Presi-
dent Wilson did was to say that I'VE are too
proud to fight That's all he did nv
friends"
However, in one case Mr. Wilson asserted
himself Hayti had not behaved toward us
one-hundredth part as badly as Mexico nor
one-tenth as badly as Germany; but Havti
had neither army nor navy, Hayti did not
even have arms and ammunition. and there
fore President Wilson was not too proud to
fight Hayti
The Presidents mistakes have caused Col.
Roosevelt pain, he admitted, when he said:
There was probably no American outside
his own immediate following more anxious
to see him succeed, and more disappointed
when he failed, than [ was 7 criticise him
only because my duty as an American citizen,
proud Of his country and Jealous of her
honour, forces me to stand against him.
He has taught the world that no nation
which is small enough to be helpless can in
suit us with impunity. Mr. Wilson has kept
us out OF war forsooth Why, on our eastern
coast war now grlns at us from Just outside
the 3-mile limit, and on our southern border
war has been Waged on us within our own
territory again and again by bands of armed
invaders during the last three years
Il ne right to life comes ahead of the RIGHT
to property, and unless we first deal with the
offences against the lives of our citizens we
have no justification for dealing with offences
against the property rights of our citizens.
But If we had done our duty in the first case
1t would have become incumbent upon us to do
our duty in the latter case At this moment
our first duty should be to see that American
citizens, especially women and children, shall
not be set aAoat in rowboats miles off our coast
on the October seas as a result of submarine
attacks on merchant-vessels.
