ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO

In the early years of the nineteenth century "a "a devastating
Europe as 1t is today M there "a an element in thlsc country then, so
history records, that a just as DESTROYS of getting into the conflict as
there is today. Thomas Jefferson, who "a president Of the United
States att he tnme and who is regarded as me o. or greatest executives,
was compelled to use the san fortitude and patience that President
Wilson has used and he was subjected to the same abuse, but he with
stood it all and has been blessed yer since by the generations that have
come. Writing OF the subject at the time he said:
I'VE have, therefore,, remained in peace, suffering frequent injuries,
but, o the whole, multiplying, improving, prospecting beyond all example.
1T is evident to all that in spite of great losses greater gains have
ensued. When these gladators shall have worried each other into rWn
or reason, instead of lying among the dead IN the bloody arena we shall
have acquired a growth and strength which will place us beyond insult
peace has saved the world this only plant of free and rational govern
ment TO- existing I'm it, * However, therefore. we may have
been reproached for pursuing our Quaker system, time will afiN the
stamp Of wisdom on it, and the happiness and prosperity Of our citizens
will attest its merit And this, believe, is the only legitimate object OF
government and the first duty OF gOvernOrs-and not the slaughter OF
men and the devastation of countries placed under their care.
How desirable, then, it must be, in a government like Ours to set
its citizens adopt individually the views, the interests and the conduct
which their country should pursue, dvestng themselves of those pas
barrass and enbrol us in the ca1annous enc in Europe"

MORE DAME Is LAUNDERING

Something ought to be done It nee about Josephus Daniels, secre-
tay of the navy.
In testing its new l4-nch guns in Tangicr Sound the batueshp Penn
sylvana has scored five hits out Of twelve n a small target at 2ONU
yards, a feat that ordnance cXpcrs say is a worlds record in gunnery

Pennsylvania, has just been conn lcted at the Brooklyn navy yard not

1t is the business of the Penn 'y1vania, when undergoing firing tests,
to make a clean score of misses at a larger Is big a. the horizon. 1t is
the business OF the Brooklyn navy yard to bogge everything and to serve
is proof of Democratic incapaciy, inepUtude, incompetence and utter in
efficiency.
Josephus Daniels is secretary of the navy and Woodrow Wilson is
president. Nothing can possibly be right with the United States navy
under the present administration. The navy is a sxthrae affair. 1t
cannot shoot 1t cannot navigate. It an barely keep ahoat in still
water and calm weather, because Josephus Daniels is at the head OF the
navy department and Woodrow Wilson is president.
Eminent amateur experts and Republican campaign orators have
the navy being unfit and utterly worthless. 1t is a matter of onscIencc
with them, and Mr.. Daniels ought to be ashamed of himself-New York

THE SPIRIT OF COMPROMISE

When the national convention of 1887 va framing the present CON
stiution of the United States, there came a time when the delegates
hotly disagreed N a number OF questions and for a time it looked as
though they would have to adjourn without action.
Then a great old Ia arose and made a ronc1iatOry speech, a part
OF which is preserved in Madisons Journal. 1t a Benjamin Franklin
who said:
When a broad table is to be made and the edges of the planks do
not fit, the artist takes a little from both and makes a good joint In
like manner here both sides must part from some OF their demands i'll
order that they may join in some accommodating proposition"
Franklns advice prevailed, the table" va made. and u consttu-
ton has stood for a hundred and thirty years as a monument to the
spirit OF compromise-Ios Angeles Herald.
Governor Boyle is to be complmented for his wisdom in wiring the
various Democratic county conventions throughout the state suggesting
that they insert in their platforms a plank declaring for a statewide pl-
mary law. BY some means o. Tor some reason this was overlooked at
the recent state convention. but the omission has been corrected by the
the state.
gether after November 9TH next it will be found that the projectors OF
that unfortunate and i'll timed organization have deferred national sf-
frage for a least a generation.

In his speech in Carson Monday, in referring to the Mexican trouble
William Jennings Bryan stated there a found in the rooms Of the
American embassy at Mexico City a contract drawn up between IIuerta
dent Madero, lluerta was to be declared the provisional president and in
the elections to follow Dz a to be made president of Mexico. Henry
Lane Wilson wa ambassador to- Mexico at that time, and after the assas.
sinton OF adero, in his letters and wires to Washington, had suggested
the recognition of luerta. Undoubtedly he knew all the facts that led up
the overthrow and murder OF Madero and was perhaps a passive Wi
porter Of the revolution. At least, he a given credit for taxing a
than diplomatic interest in what was transporting and for this he
was recalled shortly after President Wilson entered the White House.
And this is the man, Henry I.ane Wilson, whom Hughes has taken
under his personal care and from whom he gets his ammunition to attack
Wilson ad his Mexican policy. The Mexicans Of Mexico City undoubt-
eddy know OF the part that Henry Lane Wilson took in stirring up trouble
at that time and judge other Americans by him. Are they to be blamed
for bearing hatred towards us? And does it compliment Candidate
Hughes sense of justice to get his information from such a source?

ONE WAY TO GET THE FACTS

The Sufragist the official organ OF the Womans party published at
Washington, quotes copiously from the Nevada State Journal and the
Reno Gazette to show what gains the Anne Martin party is making in
Nevada. If the Sufragist desires o know what the real feeling OF the
women of the state is towards the Womans party they should send an
unprecedented representative out here to investigate. And if they want
to know what the feeling is towards Woodrow Wilson they should pre-
ent themselves at n of the Democrats meetings, or instance. that of
Bryan's at Carson or Reno Monday, when reference to- the fact that Will
son kept this country out OF war brought ears of JOY to the eyes OF
such asm mark the faces of the Martnets.

MINOR PARTIES

The September Review of Reviews reminds us that in 1912 the three
minor parties poned 1139O6O votes. The Socialist candidate received
o1 S73, the Prohibiionst 0H92S, and the Socialist Labor nominee 49, 59
Democratic and Republican arguments during presidential ampaipns

it is difficult to believe that one voter u Of every thirteen ignores the
major parties and registers his belief in principles which those parties
reject. I'm some states the proportion is larger; in California, n voter
