In a short and concise statement
made before the large audience in
Red Man hail Friday night, The Re
publican candidate for District At
torney pledged himself uniquivocally
to the enforcement of all laws in all
parts of the district. He takes the
position that laws were made to be
enforced, not violated, and that it is
the duty of the District attorney to
lay aside all outside considerations
and devote his time to their enforce
ment.
Mr.. Emigh also pledged himself,
if elected to conduct the office in the
interests of the people with the same
economy as he would conduct the af
fairs of his own private office and
that he would enter upon the affairs
of the office unhampered by any
prediction promise made to any in
dividual. organization or political
party with the exception of his prom
ise to fairly and impartially enforce
MI laws at all hazards.
The Republican nominee is a man
Of sterling character. unsullied rep.

IN his ten years practice in Archuleta
county, has met with unqualified
success and has endeared himself to
the citizens of his own county for
the stand he has taken there for the

Roosevelt on Mexican
Policies of Wilson

AT Louisville, Kentucky, Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt made one of the
greatest speeches of his political
career. Certainly it is master
piece of logic, literature and elo-
quence. SO fine was it and SO ap-
propriate that even the rabid Demo-
cratic press Of the nation is giving
publicity TO it. Some of them have
even published his lengthy speech in
full. If Roosevelt could make those
speeches in every section of this
country there would be but few vii
son states in this union. Wide pub
icity will be given it by the press OF
this country regardless Of party af-
filiations.
Concerning platform pledges and
Wilson's Mexican policies Roosevelt
spoke as follows:
At the outset of my speech I wish
to point out, as / have elsewhere
pointed out, that the doctrine now
often advanced as to the impropriety
of criticising the president, without
any regard as to whether the criti-
cism is or is not just, has no warrant
either in history or on grounds Of
public morality. Andrew jackson in
a message to the senate on April 10
1843, put up the case exactly as it
should be put. He said:
"The president is accountable
at the bar of public opinion for
every act of his administration.
Subject daily to the restrains of
truth and justice, the free people
of the United States have the un-
doubted right, as individuals or
collectivery, orally or in writing,
at such times or in such Ian
guage and form as they may
think proper, to discuss his Of
ficial conduct and express and
promulgate their opinions con-
cerning it."
This lays down the law that should
be followed. There must be truth
and justice in all that is said Of the
president or Of any one else; but less
than any one other man in the nation
has he the right to claim immunity
from any criticism that is both just
and truthful. i criticise President
Wilson because his deeds have belied
his words, and his words have be.
lied one another.
Mr.. Wilson's promises before cleo
tion, both those made in his own
speeches, and those made in the plat
form, have been so well-nigh invari-
ably broken, that the breaking of
them has been subject for jest even
among his own friends. One of Mr..
Wilson's prominent Democratic sup
porters in congress state with re-
freshing frankness the exact truth
about Mr.. Wilson's reelection
promises, and those made on his be-
half, when In snswer to some charge
Semi-weekly herald., 1916-10-23

Of inconsistency, he responded by
saying that Our platform was made.
to get into office on and we have
won" You will find this remark o.
page i51S Of the congressional rec
ord, the third session of the 62nd con
gress. 1t is impossible TO study Mn
Wilson's prediction promises and
post-election performances; it is i'm
possible to compare the diametrically
opposed attitudes he has assumed al
different times on almost every pub
lie question; it is impossible to com
pare one set of speeches with wha.
he says in another set, without feel
ing that what this congressional sup
porter Of his said of his platform
also applies to his speeches.
Now, l do not regard such actiol
on the part Of Mr. Wilson and hi
followers, and the cynical franknes.
with which they avow it, as a mattel
for jest. doubt if it is possible NOR,
effectively to undermine public NOR
ality 10 this country than by accus
toming the people to regard promise
made in politics with cynical amuse
ment as intended only for purpose
Of deception. A high-minded man re
CARDS a promise made on the stun,
by candidate for office, a promise
intended TO secure the support o.
those to whom it is made as a pledg
which it is as imperatively necessary
to redeem as if it were made in pri
vate life to a private individual; ant
its subsequent reputation in one case
can only be justified by conditions
substantially like those which would
justify it in the other case. An hon
orable man will scorn an untruth OF
the stump just as much as off tho
stump. An honorable man will breal
promise made publicly in a politica
campaign just as reluctantly as he
will break a promise made to an
other man made in private life. An
honorable man keeps faith in public
life no less than in private life.
President Wilson's are models Of
adroit indirect suggestion and avoid
ance of downright statement. Blu
the other day at Omaha he seems t.
have committed himself to the state
ment that he was "willing to fight
but was waiting for something
worth fighting for" for something
which would put all the corpus
cles Of his blood into shouting shape
1t would be interesting TO know exact
ly what outrage on American citizen
or on the rights of humanity any
where, which would make him eros
the line between being "willing to
fight and "too proud to fight" He
certainly did not regard the trcacher
Gus murder Of Boyd and Adair, and
this United States as "somethinp
worth fighting for" He did not oven
write note about it. The murder Of
1894 men women and children on the
Lustania did not "put all the corpus
lies of his blood into shouting shape"
His corpuscles did not shout; they
did not even whisper; apparently all
they did was to suggest to him that
