How the President Has Uphe cid
a Small Nations Right to
Control Its Affairs.
RESISTED WAR PRESSURE
Determined That Americas Sister Re-
public Shall Be Permitted to Work
Out Its Problem of Freedom
and Seif-Government.

president Wilson's faith in demo-
cracy, and the unselfishness of the
United States in international deal
ings, have been strikingly essed
In his Mexican policy.
1.-THE Presidents demand for Mexico
ls-Justice."
The larger phases Of the relations
of the United States with Mexico
during President Wilson's Admins
tration as well as an interesting and
complete narrative of events are pre-
sented authoritatively in the Mexican
chapter of the Democratic National
Text Book, from which these quota
lions are made:
'"Two considerations have animated
the President in the formulation of
his Mexican policy and have compel
his adherence to 1t throughout his Ad-
ministration, namely:
1.-THE firm conviction that all ma
tlons, both the weak and the pc ~er-
full, have tho InvIoIabIe right to control
their Internal affairs.
1.-THE belief, established upon the
history Of the world, that Mexico will
never become peaceful and law abld-
Ing nelghbor Of the United States un-
I'll she has been permitted to achieve
q permanent and basic settlement of
her troubles without outside Interior
ence..
"The Mexican problem in its pres
ent form has existed for the American
Government ever since our frontier
was extended to the Rio Grande. When
the people maintained the peace II was
because they were forced to do so, and
not because justice reigned in the
land. Thus 1t was that the history
of Mexico, like the history Of every
aspiring people, pressed upon Presi-
dent Wilson's consideration the truth
that no permanent good relations
could exist between this great North
ern Republic and the one immediate
ly South of us until she had been left
| free to put her house in order, how
ever painful that process might be
and whatever the demands 1t might
make upon the forbearance OF the
United States"
"There was q powerful pressure FOL
war-a terrible war-by a welI-arme
powerful nation against an unarmed
bankrupt people exhausted by fiv'
years of civil strife, but who still re
tanned enough Of patriotic feeling t.
unity them against an invader. |
was the old, old question whether TIL
United States should impose a peace
on Mexico; whether, for the sake o
the interests of few Of It's citizens
1t should permanently suppress Mexi
co.'s upreaching toward freedom ant
self-government."

WORK Is HEALTH.
idIeness 10 Often the Cause of Human
Disease and Decay.


Disease and Decay.
Work Is not the curse nor the afflic-
ton that some people think 1t is. When
taken in proper doses 1t is the best of
medicines. 1t is now being prescribed
for many forms of invalldism. such as
heart disease. Brights disease, nerv-
BUSINESS and particularly for insanity.
The lack of work Is often the cause
of many chronic maladies. and 1t Is a
wise physician who can determine
when one needs work instead of rest
and in prescribing the remedy produce
no unpleasant situations.
About the most unhealthful person.
as well as the most unhappy and use.
less, is the person with nothing to do.
Work is a dispeller of fears. 1t is the
exercise that is as essential to the body
and mind as are food and air. 1t is
only when work is carried to excess
that it becomes injurious, as in the
case with food, rest and all good things
The ideal of a healthy, happy life Is
! no longer world where work is not
necessary and life is one grand sweet
song of idleness. Life is activity; IN
the broad sense 1t is work-work that
produces and entails sacrifice. 1t Is not
less work that we need, but work In
the right proportions and under the
right conditions. Such work is health

N ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
An EDITORIAL APPRAISAL

p,ssident Wilson's speech OF
...ntance was comprehensive,
hank and direct.
Il was the utterance Of a man
i political party conscious OF
n honesty of past endeavors and
ronHdent of ability to cope with
rbatever problems the future might
have in store.
No President has ever been
cslled upon to face more serious
,onditions than has Mr.. Wilson. He
has met them with patience and de-
,otion that have won the respect and
.dmiration of the world.
With domestic legislation to di-
rect, giving the relief from eco
homie abuses that the country's well
Hare demanded, with long list Of
promises to fulfill, the great war that
|burst upon the world threatened 70
|eheck him in his efforts and to in
yolve the nation in the disasters that
are affecting almost every nation OF
! the old world.
How he has brought the country
/ through it all, with honor and with
astounding prosperity, the accept
ance speech succinctly and modestly
tells
In three and a half years the coun-
try has been set Alright, every class
protected in its liberties and its OPP
portunities, the whole commercial
system set in order, with prosperity
sbounding. And reason has never
abandoned its throne in all of the
cOuntry's perplexities.
The speech was a message to the
people Of all the world; it was q
notice to the world that this country
is big enough to maintain its honor
and to keep out of war, and at the
same time big enough to regulate it,
domestic conditions.
The speech was no apology, nc
defense, no complaint. It was q
speech that all men and womer
should read to learn what tn.
country has really been doing.
