we find the three candidates for the
presidency in 1912 lined up
President Wilson with his half-heart-

places himself squarely between Mr.
Taft. ex-judge. believing that the differ

the differences of men are best settled
by a disjnterested third party judging
their rights. and Mr. Roosevelt, ex-cow-
puncher. with his two-gun conviction
that the fellow who can shoot quickest,
farthest and straightest is at all times
right
Mr.. Tafts position is the soundest Of
the three. tt Is the only sound position
because when Mr.. Roosevelt with his
fuEly-prepared policy has BY sheer num-
bers by a preponderance Of ships and
guns and men, caused Mr.. Wilson's in
adequately equipped preparedness to
surrender. they viii have to wind up in
Mr.. Taft's court, anyhow, for the final
settlement which Mr.. Taft contends
might Just as well be made there in the
first place
Should the very least expected thing
happen. and these men find themselves

AMERICANS
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Cranel

When the mob broke loose in Youngs-
town, o., burned million dollars worth
of property wounded nineteen persons
and killed four, and raised merry hades
generally, maybe you thought it was the
great North American people clamoring
for their inalienable rights.
Was it the spirit of '76 in the air that
gathered the crowd Of 5000 people who
stoned the police and the factory broke
open the saloons, swilled the liquor, and
shot up the town In order to compel the
Steel company to raise their wages to 25
cents an hour?
Maybe.
However, a perusal Of the names Of
the participants in this riot gives US
pause.
The list includes the names, 10th,
Getz, Ofas, Solick, Zdozanich, Dopigek,
Ingar, Rittar, Hayadukak Zepsort and
Cheditz.
The Americans are great people,
and it is interesting 10 note their out
bursts from time to time in their en-
deavors to assert American principles
and fight, bleed. and die for the glorious
privilege guaranteed by the Stars and
Stripes.
For instance, we remark the effort
being made by certain of our compa-
triots to rebuke the designs of the per-
fidious allies against our liberties and
neutrality. BY blowing up munition
plants, melting strikes, and putting in
fernal machines on Atlantic liners these
true Americans are trying to preserve
the fair name Of this country and pre-
vent the schemes Of the plotting foreign
ers
Among these descendants of the en-
battled farmers at Lexington and pa
triots at Bunker Hill we mark such
names as Oberheimer, Won Dinkelspiel,
Heinrich, Kuntz, Goetz and Ekelberger,
not to mention Weissnichtwo and DON
nerwetter.
Another group Of citizens actively
anxious 10 thwart the vile process Of
England toward substituting American
newspapers and preparing TO lombard
our coasts and incite an invasion from
Canada. includes the McCarthys, the
Moriartys, the Mmphys the O'Hoola-
hans and the McGoorks.
Meanwhile those sterling Americans
Boggs. Cholmondelay, Trevor, Stanhope
and Churchill-are not idle, but warn us
increasingly of the dangers Of an attack
on our shores by Germany and Of our
bounden duty to hate all Germans.
Also the Cuzcos Alvarados, de al Platas

Did Wilson'S Success
With Diplomacy Convert
Him to Preparedness?

There can be no twilight zone be-
tween policy Of peace such as Presi-
dent Wilson has pursued, and prepared
ness.
There can be no twilight zone this
side of MILITARISM in any policy of
REAL preparedness.
When more ships and more guns and
more submarines for our navy are sug-
gested. and when more men and more
guns for our army are suggested, the
idea in mind is a sufficient amount of
strength to whip the other fellow-to
drown him, or blow off his head, or a
leg, or an arm, or to run him through
with bayonet and, if need be, to draw
and quarter him-and get away with
out getting hurt ourselves comparative
ly speaking.
President Wilson's preparedness pro
gram is not preparedness program.
1t comes a long way from being any
thing Of the sort.
We have expressed this view of it in
this column before.
The phase Of it with which we deal
today is the embarrassing position in
which Mr.. Wilson has left his friends.
He has consented to just enough more
ships and just enough more soldiers to
afford an opening for the charge that
he favors an offensive instead of a de-
fensive strength against an individual
nation, but does not go far enough by
several ships and several thousand sol
diers to satisfy the jingo element whose
idea of preparedness takes account Of the
fact that wars are seldom fought be-
tween individual nations today.
President Wilson has yielded just
enough more ships and just enough
more men for the army, to forsake those
who have stood by him and supported
him in his policy of moral suasion to-
ward Mexico and while he has been
winning with diplomacy in settling diff
ferences with the European belligerents.
These friends of the president are
embarrassed just now and are just bit
uneasy for fear someone viii step up
and ask them Mr.. Wilson's intentions on
the standardization he will be found
agreed with his supporters that his for
eiqn policy TO date has been the best
policy. or whether he will declare that
those who have been lauding his course
and his policy do not know what they
are talking about
The Detroit times., 1916-01-25

President Wilson has heard the clamor
in the country for which the munition
makers are responsible, and the hear
ing it has received is his answer to the
question of how he looks upon that one
term plank adopted in Baltimore
That part Of it is all right,
The nominee Of the convention was
not committed to the plank, nor was it
adopted as binding upon him.
We feel safe in asserting, therefore,
particularly since he yielded to the pre-
paredness advocates even this little bit,
and particularly, once again, since the
president is so much in earnest about 1t
that he is taking the stump to put it
over If he can, that Mr.. Wilson will not
only BE candidate but is a candidate
for a second term.

Somewhat of an injustice has been
done William Howard Taft Che was al
ways in the market for an injustice) by
those who express the opinion that in
his suggestion of an international court,
the ex-president is on middle ground.

NOT.
That is exactly where Mr.. Wilson
is.

he almost did so" Captain New re-

pledge his support to me-"
