"Blunders Of the administration" is the cap
ton of an address made by Senator Root, show
ing wherein Wilson has failed in domestic and
foreign policies. The chief argument used in
favor of Mr.. Wilson is that she has kept us out
of the war" Has he really kept us out of the war,
at the same time keeping out Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Holland Spain and other countries
which have to date preserved their neutrality !?
Or do political, geographic and economic condi-
tions preserve us with other countries that lie
outside the maelstrom? President Wilson has,
by his actions convinced many thinking people
who thought well Of him at one time that he is
really 'the doctrinaire" he was said to be by
Roosevelt. One fatal mistake was the alternate
lifting and closing of the arms embargo into
Mexico, with the result that the people are being
slaughtered on our borders and our soldiers
running great danger of armed resistance in
Mexico, are more than likely opposed by Next
cans armed with ammunition and guns sent from
the United States. We have virtually armed
our enemies.

Justice Hughes is said to be popular in Ne
braska because he has kept himself out of the
political whirlpool and has not expressed an
opinion on the different questions confronting
the country Mr.. Hughes reticence is without
doubt due to his position on the great tribunal
and if the fates ordain his nomination he certain
~ will define his stand.

The Milwaukee Free Press literally prints a
Chicago Tribune editorial which finds fault with
President Wilson's preparedness policies and the
Free Press begs the question as to whether or
not the effusion smacks of "disloyalty." The diff
ference between honest criticism and low at
tack is marked and apparent to every reasonable
person. We have failed to see in the Tribune
editorials any reference to Mr.. Wilson's private
affairs or any attempt to mortify and degrade
him in personal way. The same thing is Of
course, apparent to the Free Press and we be-
lieve that the honest Indignation expressed
throughout the state at it's methods Of attack
has already modified it's stand The great Re-
publican party is going to meet President Will
son next fall and defeat him and his party. 1t is
not going to do it with the weapons Of SANDER
and malice.

nings Bryan as the two leading paciicists Of the
country, embark for Mexico bearing love tokens

of course be very pleasantly received and af-

A suggestion has been made that congress

Perhaps the most pathetic thing in the world
is an insane person and every unfortunate in
this sad condition should have the sympathy of
everyone. Insanity is said to be on the increase,
and yet perhaps it is true that never before were
men more sane. 1t would seem that people who,
in previous generations might have drifted along
at a sub-normal speed, unnoticed, break down
now under our eXacting conditions and become
insane 1t may be the law of the survival Of the
fttest inexoraby at work and only the perfect

survive.
Certainly the Irish have been great asset to
this country, and we can all thank the day when
the merry, ight-hearted sons of Erin trekked
westward toward the land of the free. God
loves the Irish and the world over is captivated
by the ready wit and warm humanity of the Celt-
ic peoples. A little dash of Irish blood is a good
thing for man and when it is combined with
the honesty and industry of the Teuton, the
brain of the Saxon, the physique of the NOrsk
and the verve of the Latin, we have a fine Ameri-
can citizen. Let us be proud of all our bloods
ashamed Of none.

''The Reflex Action of the Cerebrum," was
the caption of an interesting article written
many years ago on peculiar twists the intellect
takes in solving problems that the conscious
mind has wrestled with in vain. Nearly every
one has experienced the case Of having strug-
gled for hours with difficult matters only to
have the reason retire baffied and then later on
perhaps in the middle of the night, to have the
mists clear away and in flash the inner mind
furnish ar answer translucent in its clearness.
This is the working of the cosmos in phase we
know not of and bespeaks of inner mental pro-
cesses going on beyond the ken of conscious
mentality or thought. An abtruse, but highly
interesting subject.

The trouble about revival meetings

to heaven" but in quite a number OF
instances they have not decided which
route they expect to take, or just
when they will start on the heavenly
way.

WOULD HAVE CARRANZE
REPUDIATE CARRIZAL FIGHT

Washington, June 25.-A peremp-
tory demand that Carranza repudiate
the attack at Carrizsl and immedi-
ateIy release the American soldiers,
it is understood tonight, to be the
next step contemplated by the United
States. Failure to comply with eth
er demand undoubtedly would lead to
the "gravest consequences" as fore
told in Lansing's recent note to the
de facto government.
The formulation of the communica-
ton awaited Gen. Pershing's final re-
port on the Carrizal incident.
Full information on what happened
at Carrizal is still lacking. In the
event no officers survived, the United
States action would be based on the
stories already told by stragglers.
Aside from these stragglers the
American dead reported by Mexican
authorities and prisoners IL hands of
Mexicans there are more than score
of Captain Boyd's detachment still
unaccounted for. However, Pershing's
cavalry supports are reported to have
picked up some survivors.
Officials are apprehensive tonight
over the news dispatches from Chi
huahua had threatened to attack the
American force reported as. advanc-
ing from the field base toward Ole
Clientes and San Antonio.

neck and silken name And she her
self took the form Of a stable boy
and mounted upon his back. and away
they went out Of the Iron Wood and
across hill and dale until they came
to the ninth ford.
Then Augurboda, In the form Of the
stable boy, rode up to the king and
said:
King Ingvar. the Valiant One, my
master ottar, King OF the Fourth
River, sends thee this gallant horse
as a gift Of his good will"
When Ingvar heard these words he
patted Gorth's sleek neck and said,
Generous and friendly is our brother
Ottar. Never have seen a finer
horseP'
Then said the boy, MY master, OF
tar, begs also that thou will take me
into thy service to care for thy horse"
Gladly will do So" said Ingvar,
and thereupon he gave order that the
boy and the horse be made welcome
within the royal stable.
The next morning Ingvar com
mA-oded that the horse be saddled for
him to ride. But when the boy had
led out Gorth, Vindolf, one OF the
kings warriors, came and prevailed
upon the king that he should not ride.
For" said vindolf, cit is not right,
most noble Ingvar. that thou shouldst
risk they life upon a strange steed.
Let me first prove him. pray thee"
Then laughed Inyvar scornfuIly;
nevertheless. he suffered vindolf to
try the horse. And Gorth was meek
and gentle. so that child might have
ridden him.
Now as vindolf rode back, swanvita.
the queen, came running out, and she
cried:
"oh, Ingvar. my lord, let me, pray
thee, ride upon thy new horse. for
never have I seen so beautiful an
animal"
Then Ingvar hesitated, but vindolf
said. Good, my lord, let the lady ride.
The horse is gentle as a young fawn."
So Swanvita mounted upon the
black horse and rode along the strand
with Ingvar riding beside her on his
