Editorial Comments.


The Democrats continue to ignore
Mr. Hughes speeches to the extent
that all they do is to sputter and gasp.
Let It be conceded there are really
strong grounds for the opinion that
President Wilson may carry Texas
next November. If these Indications
are taken at their full worth, some
enthusiasts will soon be going out to
bet that the tide will sweep on until
Mississippi and Alabama are also en-
rolled in the Democratic column.
Many big Democrats willing and
ready to speak for Wilson are care
full that their money shall not say any
thing on his side.
President Wilson says he is utter
ly Indifferent az to his reelection.
Perhaps that explains . good many
things nobody has heretofore eecn
able TO understand.

Charles Z. Hughes cannot get so far
away from Washington that the men
in charge Of the chariot Of government
there do not feel the jolting of his
criticisms. In fact. the Democratic
leaders at the capital city show symp-
toms Of sea-sickness from the way In
which the ex-justice Of the Supreme

WILSON'S iGNoBLE, uNsUc-
cESSFUL LITTLE WARS.

President Wilson tok Vera
Cruz In 1914, as we were official
Iy informed at the time, to get
a salute for the flag, and to
prevent the shipment OF arms
into Mexico. He did not get his
salute. He did not prevent the
shipment OF arms. But several
hundred men were killed or
wounded; and then he brought
the army home without achiev.
ing either object. President
Wilson sent an army Into Mexico
In 1916, as we were informed
at the time, to get Villa dead
or alive" They did not get him
dead. They did not get him
alive. Again several hundred
men were killed and wounded.
Again President Wilson IS bring
ing the army home without
achieving his object. OF course
II is a mere play upon words
to Gay that these we're not
wars" They we're wars, and
nothing else; lgnoble, pointless,
unsuccessful little wars; but
wars. They cost millions Of dol
lars and hundreds Of lives,
squandered to no purpose; they
accomplished nothing; but they
we're wars.--From the speech OF

Chairman Publicity Committee
Methodist men OF Pennsylvania will
gather at Harrisburg November 20 for
a great convention in the interest of
the advance movement of the church.
Plans are being laid with the hope
that every church in the State will be
represented by one or more delegates.
The strongest Methodist leaders are
interested actively in the arrange
ments, and no effort will be omitted
to improve on all previous conven-
tions. A treat is in store for the men
of Pennsylvania.
The aim is to interpret to the men
of Pennsylvania, and to Methodists in
general, the significance of the General
Conference legislation, and to help
launch the new program of the church
in a live and vigorous fashion. The
nearness of unification, the reorgani-
zation and closer correlation of the
beneVolence boards, the centennial
celebrations planned for the quadren-
mum, the doubled vigor of the fight
against the liquor traffic, the modern
effective methods of local church work
these and other causes will be pre-
sented and explained in various ad-
dresses and discussions. The ablest
speakers of Methodism and other COM
munions will participate and several
Bishops will assist. The ears of the
church will be listening and Method

were trampled by the steeds of the
pursuing dragons. Hundreds threw
themselves into the river and many
found death beneath its waters.
In this engagement the Americans
numbered 1,700; the Mexicans 1000.
The American loss was 122 including
several gallant officers killed and
wounded. The loss of the enemy
from the circumstances attending their
Hlght, was never accurately ascer-
tanned, but was not less than 1000.
How Taylor Came 10 Monterey
When General Taylor reached Fort
Brown he found that it's gallant gar
rlson had withstood a continuous
bonn bardment of $50 hours from the
Matamoros batteries during the pro-
sress of which the commander of the
little band, Major Brown, fell mortally
wounded. Taylor Immediately crossed
the river, drove the enemy from
Matamoros and occupied the town
permanently.
1t was now the desire of the AM
eiican commander to press on to the
inland city of Monterey where the
Mexican, Gen. Amputia was collecting
a large army. But he found himself
dehcient in troops, supplies and means
oi transportation, and was obliged to
its brilliant victories, the Mexican war
was one long drawn-out history of
lack of preparedness on the part of
the United States which was constantly
hampering the actions of our VIC
torious generals and depriving them of
the fruits of their triumphs while at
the same time it caused a needless
prolongation of the war.
Some of these blunders in regard to
lack of preparation, which ought to
be n lesson to our pepole of to-day,
will be mentioned more specifically
before the close of this series.
At length Taylor's meager force of
regulars began to be augmented by
volunteer regiments from the States,
and in September 1846, he began his
march toward the strongly fortified
Monterey.
On the 18th of September the AM
erican army encamped at Walnut
Springs, three miles from the city, the
Notifications of which were found to
be of immense strength, defended by
redoubts and stone walls. and having
every street commanded by heavy
artillery In addition to this the hell
Independence, without the walls, was
blistling with forts, one of which
named the Bishops Palace, was deem
ed impregnable.
On September 21 the division COM
manded by the celebrated General
Worth. having gained the heights in
rear of the Bishops Palace, stormed
the two principal redoubts near it and
turned the captured guns on the main
fertilization. The next day the
Bishops Palace itself fell before the
determined assault of Worths intrepid
men.
To favor Worth's movements other
American detachments under Twigg
and Butler had made a demonstration
against the CITY itSelf in which thev

On the night of the 22nd the enemy,
finding their outer defenses no longer
tenable, evacuated them, withdrawing
all their forces to the cathedral and
other central works near the principal
plaza of the city. How the Americans
dug their way from house to house
along the bloody streets of Monterey
