For the Sake OF HnmnnLty.

For the sake of humanity the
United States has made war twice on
Mexico and has been defeated both
times, twice in the term OF the pres
ent administration. 1t is now
explained that the only object the
United States has in Mexico is to
tbreak down" bad governments. We
are not intervening. We merely go
in once in a while with armed forces
and try to break something down.
says the Chicago Tribune. Now it
is Huerta, now 1t is villa. We break
them down. They we back out and
wait till they set something else up.
Then we go in again with our army,
full OF love for humanity To
break something else down. to be
defeated, to crawl out, to increase
Mexican disrespect for the United
States, to kill American soldiers, and
to promote the cause Of humanity.

For the purpose OF local reprint
ing an obscure New York state news
paper has been gotten to publish a
laudatory write-up OF bill" Chiffon.
In II there are six reasons given why
"Bill" should be elected to succeed
himself. The other Ave are unlmport-
ant, but number four is a gem of the
purest ray: He helped President
Wilson keep NC out of bloody war"
which bald and amazing statement
calls for an answer to one question
before base can be set for the argu-
mont: What war?

"Hc Kept Us Gus of War"

"Wilson kept us out of war they
cry.
And he has spent $1OO.O0O,O 900 in
doing SO in the Villa episode alone.
He is now spending from s15,OOO,-
600 to s2O,O00,0O0 week. He has
spent on keeping US out of war with
Mexico altogether to date at least
$3.50 900. 900. 1t is estimated that
he will spend at least 500, 100000
more, says the New York Sun.

CornwelI's Nerve.

In his speech at Sissonville, Kama
wha county, Candidate Cornwell said,
IF there is any man in this au
dience who voted for Abe Lilly
warn you that they will attempt tc
get YOU back into the party"
The nerve" Of that takes a tro.
ply Cornwell assumes that the men
who supported General Lilly left the
Republican party to do so, and are
still out OF the party. How about
this, Mr.. Republican? Do you con.
slider that you left the party. and are
still out OF the party, because you
made choice between two of your
party's leaders who coveted the one
high honor.
Isn't this an absurd assumption?
Is there any more ground for it than
to assume that the thousands of Dem
ocrats who preferred Senator French
or DIR. Cory Hogg to John Cornwell
as their Eubernatorial nominee. are
any the less members of their party,
regular and in good standing? Or,
that the $4,000 who preferred Will
liam f. Hite and Ex-Governor A. b.
White to Concentrating Suth-
erland took themselves out of their
party when they voted their prefer
ence. are still out of it. and propose
to vote for Chiffon instead of Suther-
land?
Such insane and twisted reasoning
as that is more discreditable to Corn
well than it is insulting to the many
staunch and intelligent Republicans
whose loyalty and sound sense are
brought into question.

In his speech OF acceptance. deliv-
cred at Sea Girt, n j., August 7.
1912, President Wilson set forth the
reduction of the high cost Of living
as the characteristic task Of the Dem
ocratic party:
1T is not as easy for us to live as
1t used to be. Our money will not
buy as much. High wages, even when
we can get them, yield us no great
comfort. We used to be better of
with much less, because u dollar
could buy so much more. The major
ity of us have been disturbed to find
ourselves growing poorer, even
though our earnings were slowly in.

ing is arranged by private under

united their enterprises and have
formed trusts; and trusts control

to prevent this"

AS comparison between these

the annual expense account OF Marion
