THE GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE

THE GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE
There is one dominant fact which
the politicians of all parties seem to
Overlook. That is the inherent
strength, the unreasonable power OF
our own country.
First it's area, equal to half of
Europe; (2) what it is capable of
producing; (3) it's population and the
character of its population; (4) it's
freedom from debt, and finally what
| it might be in half year were it's
forces called out. This last influences
the outside world in its thought OF
us more than any other one thing.
The fact that it could In six months
call ten million of young men to the
colors and have them efficient sol
diers without for a moment stopping
or Gripping one of its great indus
tries. Is there wonderment?
Then there is a red school house
on every country road corne, and go
in almost any of the humble homes
on the mighty area and you will find
some one who knows all that is go
ing on at home or abroad, and who
will give you an intelligent opinion
on any subject you may spring.
This fact ought to be notice to
all men who aspire to high places,
never to risk talking down to the
people, never to make a bluff to
them lest they be called, never once
to presume on the supposed ignor-
ance of the masses, for the deep
exhaust OF the perfecting press is
everywhere and with the
dawn has for the people, all ready, |
the history of the previous day from
which the people keep IN touch |
with the events of yesterday brought |
to them by the telegraph and the
press this morning.
Behind the people Is the eyer
constant thought that If things do
not come out just right, they Will
all be In measure to blame, for
have they not each one his part to
DO and there must be no relapsing
Of vigilance, no neglect OF duty.
For the men who on their merits
command the respect and confidence
If such a people just praise is due,
but for such men the knowledge OF
that fact should make them CRATE
ful and at the same time humble. and

GIVE US HIS NAME.

Christ had His Judas Iscariot,
Samson his Defilah, Washington his
Benedict Arnold and Payette seems
to have had one Individual who meas
ured down to the disreputable stan
dard established by any or all of
them in this hour of the country's
need of loyalty and patriotism. But
the varmint's name was not given
by Bro. Keller of the Independent
and unfortunately the name of more
than one reputable citizen of the
community has suffered by reason
of the wagging tongues OF people
who are too ready to repeat a story
without regard to the sure knowledge
OF its truthful origin and without
regard to the injury it may do to
an innocent party.
Give US the name of the reptile,
Judge, so that all good citizens may
shun the contamination of such an
presence in the COM
munity and to the end also, that no
innocent man may have to suffer
contempt on account of some of the
rumors that have been put in circu-
lation.

FIND BASISFOR
MEXICAN PEACE
State Department and Car
rama Representatives Agree
on Commission Plan.

An agreement was reported yesterday
between Mexico and the United States
for settlement of the Mexican border
troubles. Carranza's proposition has
been accepted, with some minor changes.
Negotiations as to these changes pre-
vented a formal announcement of the
agreement today, but it is believed the
changes will be acceptable to Carranza.
1t was announced at the State Depart
ment late yesterday afternoon that a
statement covering the agreement would
be issued today
The agreement as it now stands, ac-
cording to the best information availa-
Bile. provides:
First, that this government accepts the
general plan of 4 commission to deal
with the subject.
Second, that this government agrees to
the propositions of Carranza to discuss
the withdrawal of the United States
army. the ascertainment of the cause of
the border troubles and the making OF
an agreement granting mutual right to
the United States and Mexico to cross
the border in emergencies.
Third, that the Mexican government ac-
Cepts the suggestion that the three propO-
sitions of Cararnza shall be included.
This will permit the discussion Of other
issues, such as Mexican financial legis-
Iation, the assistance of the United States
in obtaining loans for the de facto gov
ernment, and, finally, American claims
against Mexico and Mexican claims
against the United States.
This enlargement of the subjects to be
discussed by the MexlCo-American COM
mission was insisted upon by the United
States. These are the minor changes
agreed upon which are now awaiting
Carranza's approval
Yesterdays informal announcement by
the State Department was made after a
long discussion of the whole Mexican
question by the Cabinet and after two
conferences at the State Department at
which Eliseo ArredondO was present.
Administration officials without excep-
ton regard the commission and it's work
now as virtually an accomplished fact.
Some Of them, including Cabinet officers,
however. say that the result was OBJ
tanned only by mutual concessions.

many sources. There are twenty two
