Our Mexican Policy

Ex-senator Bailey Of Texas, an old
line southern democrat and one of
the ablest senators that his state ever
sent to Washington, while in Denver
recently expressed his contempt of
his party's Mexican fiasco, in most
emphatic language, as follows:
"If the United States will give US a
couple of regiments" we will settle
that disturbance in a twinkling. We
went to Vera Cruz, killed a few Mex
leans, saw few of our own boys
killed, took a city and held a Gus
toms house. But nothing came Of it.
And we withdrew without even the
salute which we had insisted on for a
time. However, as we had demanded
that salute from a government which
we did not recognize, it was probably
just as well as any Of the other things
we were doing along about that time.
1--WE never declared war against
Mexico back in the 4Os. Congress
merely passed a resolution saying
that a state Of war existed because Of
certain acts of Mexico herself |
imagine that when we were in Vera
Cruz, Mexico might have adopted
our own words against US, for we
certainly were engaged in warlike
acts. If we had carried on that way
with any European country we would
have found ourselves at war the next
morning. And yet we withdrew with
out clearing the atmosphere, which
has been growing murkier ever
since"

Administration Talks, But Doesn't
Work

Washington, d. c., Feb. 14.-An ap-
palling oversight Of the democratic
administration in providing for ma
tional defense has been laid bare.
Representative Patrick H. Kelly of
Michigan, a member Of the Naval At
fairs Committee, has disclosed to the
House that of the nine dreadnaughts,
seventeen destroyers, thirty-nine sub
marines and two transport and sup
ply ships authorized by congress or
under construction since the demo-
Gratis have been in control Of the
House, not one is completed.
More important still, no apparent
effort has been made by the Presi-
dent or the Navy Department since
the beginning of the war in Europe
to hasten the construction and COM
pletion of these additions to the Navy.
Why this neglect on the part of the
administration to carry out the man
date of congress to equip the navy for
adequate natioral defense at this
time?
In a resolution setting forth this
condition Mr.. Kelly referred to the
Presidents recent statement that "the
world is on fire and VIC are daily
treading amidst dangers not of our
own making and not under our con-
troll; no man can tell what day will
bring forth"
His resolution proposed that the
Secretary of the Navy be directed to
negotiate at once with contractors and
government ship yards to learn the
earliest time within which these war
craft can be completed, and report to
The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1916-02-16

the House.
The President has said in his re-
cent speeches that the country faces
a crisis" said Mr.. Kelly, land none
could tell what a day might bring
forth. If this language means any
thing, it means that our need of de-
Tense is II present need. Drcadnaughts
and battle cruisers authorized by this
congress will not be available for tho
defense of the country for four years
to come.
Hence it seems to me that the first
duty of congress is to see that the
sixty-sevcn ships now under ccnstruc-
ton or authorized for the American
navy are completed and made avail
able at the earliest possible moment.
Preparations which do not materialize
for five years would not avail us any
thing if our danger is a present one.
Il cannot understand how the Pres
ident, knowing the danger as he only
can know it, has made no suggestion
to congress that the ships now under
construction ought to be rushed to
completion.
Either we are not in danger or the
President has been negligent in this
regard"

Preparedness Gone Wild

Pretty nearly every newspaper in
the country these days is trying to
explain what the president meant
when in his st. Louis speech he de-
clared for a navy bigger than Eng
lands. The New York Sun puts it
this way:
president Wilson was addressing
an audience in a community rcputed
to be strongly pro-German in its SYM
pathy and bitterly hostile to England.
He sought, therefore, to convey to it
the fearless impartiality that possesses
and rules his mind; to convince It that
if he wanted great army to protect
the United States from the kaiser's
magnificently trained troops he also
wanted a powerful fleet 10 defend the
United States from England's over
whelming sea power.
"Mr. Wilson spoke on his recent
tour not as an expert in military and
naval affairs, but as a psychologist
mildly interested in domestic politics,
and in St. Louis his mind was not less
occupied with the prejudices and dis
positions Of those who surrounded him
than it was with the problems of
shipyard, treasury and international
rivalries."
In other words, the president was
talking through his hat

DenNGIt SOlo.t L tbs TO- ASAbs
The attendance and enthusiasm at
the Lincoln Day banquet, Saturday
night, surpassed all expectations and
can be accounted for only on the
theory that the republicans of the
state have a deep conviction that they
are entering upon campaign that
will result in both state and national
victory.
A spirit of optimism pervaded all
the speeches. The psychological con-
dition that presages success was pres
ent in an unusual degree, and it is
significant that this assurance of vic
tory is not tied up with any one or
two personalities. 1t is believed that
the principles of the party are to
triumph, no matter who may be Sc
lected as leader.
At the afternoon meeting of the
State Central Committee, Pueblo was
selected as the place, and May 2, as
the time, for the state convention. This
late date will give ample time for dis
cussion as to the candidate Colorado
should support and as to what men
and women, as delegates, will best
represent her convictions.
The attempt that has been made to
bring Mr.. Nicholson's name before the
people as a possible candidate for gov
ernor, has created good deal of dis
cussion. Many of his closest friends
declare the action unauthorized by
Mr.. Nicholson and insist that upon
his return from Honolulu, he will
promptly repudiate the whole bust
ness. Others believe it is a shrewd
way of feeling out public sentiment,
and that his final attitude will be de-
termined by the character of the re-
Spouse. With three candidates for
governor in the field, Stocker, Carlson
and Nicholson, no one can, at this
time, make an intelligent forecast Of
what the result would be. The state
committee indicated very clearly that
as far as they were concerned, they
would play no favorite, that any mem
Der of the party could aspire to this
office without any stumbling blocks
being placed in their way by those
controlling the party machinery.
At the meeting of the State Central
Committee of the progressive party
held yesterday, fifteen counties were
represented. Only a few Of the old
time leaders were present but these
solemnly agreed that they would new.
err, no never, give up the ship, but so
long as there was any danger of any
conservative capturing the republican
nomination for president or governor,
they would be on hand to save their
beloved land from the calamity Of his
election.
Friends of good government still
earnestly hope that an honorable bas-
is Of cooperation may be found so
that all opponents of the Colorado
brand of democracy may work for one
ticket this fall.
The rank and file of both parties
want this and they will not have much
patience with Bourbon leaders who
stand in the way Of such consum-
nation.

FOUND AT LAST
Diligent Search for Information at
Last Rewarded by Discovery

We have been reading with much
interest those finely constructed and
fulsome articles of praise of the man
agement of the county business the
past four years, which have been ap-
pearing in the Sparks, telling of most
rigid economy and magnificent public
improvements, and highly gratified
taxpayers. At last we started out to
find the beneficiaries outside of job
holders, if any there
holders, if there are any, and the first
few people we met said, "Oh, Joe is
just kiddin' the commissioners, they
held up the printing contract month
and he had to make good"
However, we persevered and at last
found three taxpayers who might
taken together justify his beautiful
picture-at least we will give them to
our readers and they can judge for
themselves. The first was a man who
several years ago was well-to-do. An
overdose of democratic prosperity two
years ago forced him to turn his prop
erty over to his creditors and go
through bankruptcy to get a new
start. He informed US his taxes had
been greatly reduced and gave all
the credit to democracy. The second
was man who had been vainly try
ing for years to reduce flesh. He
bought a car and took three hour
- d. H.. - turbl Ns
cultivated thoroughfares. In ten days
he lost thirty pounds or a pound an
hour. He said all the credit belongs
TO democracy assisted by Henry Ford.
The third was a man who recently
was at the point of death with fever.
After hours of hard work the doctor
said he feared for the worst but if
he could only produce perspiration all
would be well. The patients wife
said, "why didn't you tell me that be-
fore" She Immediately got the tax
notice, which had recently come from
the county treasurer, and showed it to
the poor man. He sweat away the
fever and ten pounds before he finish
ed reading it. He says his wife's
quick wit assisted by democracy saved
him.
We publish these cases to show
that there is some good uses even for
democracy. Mark Twain once said
that a reasonable number of fieas was
good for a dog as they kept him too
busy to remember he was a dog. Just
so an occasional dose of democracy is
needed to remind us of the blessings
we enjoy at other times, but let the
dose be very reasonable.

Wilson's latest somersault lands
him in a position fGvoring a tariff
commission. 1t is TO be, of course,
"non-partisan and scientific" In view
of the manner in which Wilson made
his appointments 70 the Federal Re-
serve Board and the Federal Trade
Commission, we suggest that wisdom
on his part would demand that the tar
if commission bill should be framed
so as to provide, in definite terms, for
the appointment Of an equal number
of republicans and democrats in its
membership.

That our export trade in cotton
goods TO China has dropped to one
third of what it had been, while that
of Japan has increased nearly nine
times, as shown in a report of Ralph
Odell, of the Department of Com
merce, will surprise nobody who takes
into consideration the fact that the
Japanese wage scale is about one
twelfth that paid in American mills,
and the success which has attended the
efforts Of Japan in initiating Ameri-
can-made goods. The loss of trade =
bad enough, but another thing the
American manufacturers have to face
is the prospect that the present huge
expansion of the cotton cloth industry
in Japan may result in her getting
into our domestic market and put the
home producers out of business, unless
adequate protection is afforded the in
dustry here. If Japan can make prices
agreeable to the Chinese there is no
reason why, under a democratic tariff
law, she can not invade the American
market.

Argentine shipments of wool to the
United States are increasing at
great rate under the provisions Of the
democratic tariff law. From October
l to December %, 1915, 81 1896 bales
were shipped to this country, compar-
ed with 3,317 bales for the same per
iod in 1914, both periods being under
the democratic tariff law, which plac-
ed wool on the free list. This is an
increase Of SAG per cent.
what we must do in America is
not to attack our judges but to edu-
cate them" Mr. Brandeis is quoted as
saying. Are the justices Of the su-
preme court in for a little private
tutoring of the Brandeis brand?
Evidently President Wilson is not
too proud to fight for denomination.

Senator Tillman, democrat and a
defender of President Wilson, says
that the appointment of Brandeis TO
the supreme branch was a reply TO
the Gary dinner to Col. Roosevelt. If
the Presidents friends choose to take
that view of it, we republicans can't
be blamed if we accept the interprc-
tation. But if that be the case, it is
the first time in our recollection that
President has let not merely parti-
san but personal politics influence the
appointment of a supreme judge.

JOHN REA BECOMES
Department HEAD

At the last meeting of the Board Of
Trustees of Earlham college Professor
VIM. n. Trueblood made an earnest
request that on account of the condi-
ton of his health he be released from
the administrative duties of the De-
partment of English. In consideration
of the urgency of his request and the
long time of his service, re-adjust-
ment of the work in the department
has been made. He will continue his
connection with the department as
Professor of English Literature and
will teach 10 or IL hours in some of
the same lines of work that he has
carried for the past "a or So years.
Professor John d. Rea has been made
Head of the Department and will en-
ter upon his duties as such at the be-
ginning of the next college year The
work of the Department, therefore.
will be changed very little except that
the administrative features will be
managed by Professor Rea instead OF
by Professor Trueblood. Professor Rea
has practically completed his work
for the Degree of DR.. of Philosophy at
Yale University.
