half Of men who had obtained power
precisely as hIr. Hucrta obtained It. In
deed, In the case of Haiti, President
Xamor was guilty Of far worse conduct.
l&ut Can Domingo and Haiti were weak
and President Wilson was willing TO act
az regards them as ne did not venture
10 .ac: in Mcyicn.
But it is Mr.. Wilson'S recognition OF
CarranZa which more than anything else
applies the "acid test" of which Mr.
Wilson is 50 fond OF speaking, TO Mr..
Wilson's own allegations as to why he
did not recognize Ilacrta. Every arGu-
men: against Hucrta applied with ten
fold moro truth and weight aga inst Car
rama. Immediately after Mr. Wilson
recognized CarranZa. the latter court
,nar,ialcd and shot a former member or
Hucrtas cabinet, Garcia GranaGoS. VINO
had committed no crime except having
served in Hucrta's cabinet 1t was a
deliberate murder of man OF Sooa
yatr life; and Carranza had already Der
mitlcd his followers TO ASA sSlnalc
members OF the senate OF the MeXican
congress.
President Wilson sent note after note
to England protesting against lntc'ie
enc with property rights; ana ne mas
just taken action on behalf OF prop.r'y
rights against France and E1glana:.
which If he had really thought about u
In advance, and meant what ne sac
might very we'll lead 10 the most serl-
Gus consequences with these powers;
If il does not hive this effect 1t will
again he left unbackcd by deeds. mis-
action by Mr.. Wilson would be entlreiy
proper and necessary. II ne nag taken
the right position on behalf or EeIS 9t.

the murder Of our men women anu cli!i-
drcn ty German submarines. But 1t Is
improper when he had Done noEe 81
these things. 1t is sardonlc eSlaenGie
To be served he will instantly show isr 81,
more interest" in property fights
Than in the fortunes Of oppressed Eaen
and pitiful women and cnliurcn,
whether in Lourain or Lille IN tne
United States at in Mexico. on the niSh
seas or anywhere else.
Two Years TOO Late.
IF the President had begun. two years
ago, effectively and actively 10 prepare
our military and naval strength. ana
If he had meant what he said We Wcnld
have rendered real service 10 nanhlI,u,
we would have safeeuardcd all our
rights. We would have preserved unStaln-
rI our national honor. As IL is. VIC
have earned the dcrision OF mankind by
orr nolicy Of mixed hlustcr, hypoc-ls?

In the prcscr.t instance VIC may or hlcE
not have trouble. Probably VIC shan

course of submitting 10 wronEdninG nH

Must Reverse Policy.
We cannot undo the mischief That mas
been done during these three years: hut
If President Wilson Is re-rfcctd. VIC can
make certain that this mischief Will ne
