Won't withdraw TrOOps-lt is de-
clared by those close to the Presi-
dent that he will not take Gen. Funs-
tons advice and withdraw Gen. PERISH
ing's command from Mexico. 1t is
explained at the White House that Mr..
Wilson is afraid that IL he does with.
draw Pershing there will be increased
raids by Mexican bandits. Anyone
who will take the trouble to look at
the map will be mystified by this ex-
PLANTATION. Pershings troops are at
Colonia Dublan, 100 miles South OF
the border, and his line of communi-
cation runs North and South, or at
right angles to the border. 1t does
not require military training to real
ize that a military force can far more
effectively guard a border by patroll-
ing that border, than by maintaining
a line at right angles to it. Indeed,
were Pershing's forces withdrawn
they could, in a large measure, relieve
the militia of its task of guarding the
border. So it would seem that in Of
fering this explanation the President
is pursuing his customary policy OF
assuming that the American public is
either too much concerned with its
own affairs to think, or that it is too
unintelligent to reason and that, like
child, it will accept any explanation
that a paternal President thinks it
wisest, or finds it easiest, to give it.

For every reason that can be ad-
vanced why Progressives should vote
for Wilson, ten can be advanced why
they should vote for Hughes and the
beauty of 1t is that they know the rea-
sons without having to be told.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to
reduce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do; but they
did reduce the opportunities OF
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed
In this country under the new
tariff prior to the outbreak of
the war. Production had de-
creased. business was anguish
ing, new enterprises were not
undertaken. instead OF expan-
sion there was curtailment, and
our streets were filled with the
unemployed. What ground Is
there for expecting better con-
dltlons when the unhealthy
stimulus Of the war has spent
its force and our industries and
working-men are exposed to the
competition OF an energlzed Eu-
rOpef
II Is plain that we must have
protective upbulldinE policies.
