PROMISE TO REDUCE TIE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to
reduce the cost of living. This
they have failed to do: but they
did reduce the opportunities OF
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed
in this country under the new
tariff prior to the outbreak OF
the war. Production had de-
creased, business was anguish
ing. new enterprises were not
undertaken, instead of expan-
sion there was curtailment, and
our streets were filed with the
unemployed. What ground Is
there for expecting better con-
ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus of the war has spent
its force and our industries and
working-men are exposed to the
competition of an energized Eu-
rope?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.

acceptance.

WILSON FLExIBlLITY.

We do not see why there should
have been any stir in the senate over
the discovery that President Wilson
has completely reversed himself IN
the matter of the proposed child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr.. Wilson described this legis
lation in his Constitutional Govern.
ment" as constitutional, an "obyi'
ouSy absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost boun
daries of reasonable and honest in.
ference" and making it possible, il
sustained for congress TO legislate
over every particular OF the indus.
trial organization and action OF the
country" That, we must confess, has
also been the Evening Posts view
But the Evening Post and Senator
Borah are old fogies, dating back &c
the time when it was the custom tc
have fixed beliefs and principles and
stick to them. The senator has evil
IDENTITY not read Mr. Wilson's letter in
explaining his change of front on the
tariff commission-that it is only
narrow man, whose mind is stupidity
closed to new ideas. who does not
alter his opinions. By this test, Mr.
Wilson is obviously one of the broad
est minded men this country has evel
produced, for he has changed his
mind, to date, on the initiative, refer

TRUE lNWARONESS OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the Spring Of 1914, occur
red the capture of Vera Cruz.
Men from one of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our Admiral de-
manded a salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking au-
thority to use the armed forces
OF the United States. Without
waiting for the passage Of the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that shipload
OF ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was natural opposition to this
invasion and battle occurred
in which nineteen Americans
and over a hundred Mexicans
were killed. This. OF course,
was war. Our dead soldiers
were praised for dying like
heroes in war of service.
Later. we retired from Vera
Cruz, giving up this noble war
fare. We had not obtained the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained repara-
ton for affronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port, and its
cargo was delivered to Huerta
without interference. Recently
the naked truth was admitted
! by a Cabinet officer. We are
now informed that I'VE did not
90 to Vera Cruz to force Huerta
TO salute the fiag." We are
told that we went there ito
show Mexico that we were in
earnest in our demand that
Huerta must go" That is, we
seized Vera Cruz to depose
Huerta. The question of the
salute was a mere pretext.-

IN PREPAREDNESS THE AD-
MiNiSTRATlON HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the Administers
ton has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited" Only
about a year and half ago We
were told that the Ques ion OF
preparedness was not a press
ing one; that the country had
been misinformed. Later, under
the pressure of other leader

euted consistently and the pres
sure exerted on Congress- with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
zation are due to the system"
But it was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
warnings of recent years, with
the whole world intent on NH
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectified. The Ad-
ministration has failed TO dis
charge its responsibilities APP
parently. it is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by its
naval program. But it has i'm
