'C0MPL LAINTS ARE |. PROVING WILSON
 A GREAT LEADER
Protests From Both Sides of Warning Nations Show
 We're Neutral.
Political Corr respondence of The
 Farmer)

(Politica1 Correspondence of The Farmer.)
 The Wilson administration fell In troublesome times. It is a common place of everyday speech that no President since Lincoln has faced such big, such new, such untried problems. No human being, were he the greatest statesman of all time, could pass through such an exper- fence and not make some errors.
 It is one thing to move smoothly along in ordinary weather settling the minor problems of routine state craft. Whatever reputation the Re- publican party has acquired in the last 50 years has been secured by, this kind of work. President Wilson faced another proposition entirely. It was for him to take up problems wholly novel to the world, to think them out straight, to make precedents for the future. A man who can pass these tests with so little to regret as has Woodrow Wilson, is a great man and one who has made his mark on the worlds history.
 The country since August 1914 has faced imminent peril of war. Our government was reprOached TOT not protesting the, invasion of Belgium. Yet many of the same people who make that reproach, were in August, 1914, begging our government to ex- tend its offices as a mediator between the warning powers, and exert our influence to stop the war. A govern ment cannot rebuke one of the com batants, and at the same time acquire that reputation for neutrality that will enable us to serve as mediator.
 It was the feeling of the Ameri- can people that our government should remain strictly neutral. We are to-day in a position, thanks to President Wilson's faithful obser- vance of neutrality, where we are more likely to be called on than any other power to use our good offices when the time comes. Thus the United States government should be able to shorten the war. That could not have happened had we expressed any opinion favorable to either side, such as uttering a protest against the invasion of Belgium.
 That our neutrality was faithfully carried, out is proved by the fact that both sides complain that we favored the other. That indicates that we walked the narrow and perilous chasm without leaning to either side.

New York. Oct. 2S.-Candidate Hughes has sIbeen trying to get the farmer vote by quoting an attack or the Adamson Law by H. N. Pope President of the Association of State Presidents of the Farmers Union Referring to the Pope document Austin Hill, State President of the Farmers Union for Illinois, tele- graphed the Democratic National Committee yesterday:
 'The Farmers Union people in Hi nois are not against Wilson; he has done too much for the farmers in the way of legislation. Any person who is representing farmers organiza- ton and putting out literature against Wilson is traitor and should be ex, pelled from the organization"

PUBLIC OPINION

To the Editor of the Farmer: In inducing MT. Ford to give to his female employees the same pay, $5 per day, as to his male employees, MT. Wilson has. done more for women by this one act, than MT. Hughes has done in his whole life.
 MT. Wilson believes not only in wo- man suffrage, but he believes in the far greater proposition, equal rights for all, special privileges for none.

Two Problems Are Presented.
The text of the note follows:


Washington, D. c.
Mr.. Secretary-I have the honor to
transmit in continuation the text of
note | have just received from my
government with instructions to pre-
sent it to your eXcellency:
Mr.. Secretary-Referring to the
notes of June 20 and rs, last, have
the honor to say to your excellency
that the immediate release of the
Carrizal prisoners was a further proof
of the sincerity Of the desires Of this
government to reach pacific and sat
isfactory arrangement Of present diff
ficulties. This government is anxious
to solve the present conflict and it
would be unjust if its attitude were
misinterpreted.
"It was also the Mexican govern,
ment that earnestly suggested plan
for cantonments alongs the boundary
line during the conferences of Ciudad
JuareZ and Ell Paso. This government
is disposed now, as it has always been
to seek an immediate solution to the
two points which constitute the true
causes of the conflict between the two
countries. to wit: The American gov
eminent believes reasonably that the
insecurity Of it's frontier is a source OF
difficulty and the Mexican government
on its part believes that the stay OF
American troops on Mexican territory
aside from being trespass on the
sovereignty of Mexico, is the imme
date cause of the conflicts. There
fore, the withdrawal of American
troous, on the one hand, and the pro
lection of the frontier, on the other
are the two essential problems, the
so,ution of which must be the direct
ing object Of the efforts of both gov
ernments.
