TOO PROUD TO FIGHT"

In the absence of any issue, Republican spell
binders throughout the country have jumped from
one little thing to the other in their attacks on
President Wilson. He has seemed to do nothing
that has pleased them, yet they have been afraid
to state what they would have done if confronted
with the same issues he has had to meet. Roose-
welt has attacked the President several times for
saying, in connection with our relations with
Mexico, that there are times when I'VE are too
proud to fight" John Sharp Williams, in a speech
delivered a few days ago at Racine, Wisconsin,
took up the challenge made by Roosevelt, and his
defense of Wilson for this statement ought to put
any real proud, big man, to shame.
Hear him: .
'They said: oh, well, but Mr.. Wilson said,
Frequently a man might be too proud to fight
And they made all sorts of fun of that. Well, let
them ridicule it all they please. I repeat: A man
who is a man is sometimes toe proud to fight. If
he is a moral coward he is never too proud to
fight because he is afraid not to. A grown man
ought to be too proud to fight Il child. A giant
ought to be too proud to fight cripple. A hun
dred millions of the richest, most intelligent, in
y~entive, enterprising, courageous and we'll pre-
pared, physically and mentally. that this world
has ever seen, ought to be too proud to go down
to fight sixteen millions Of people like those in
Mexico, if they can possibly help it."

One of the reasons it's hard to maintain a
stable government in Mexico is that every man
commanding any considerable body of soldiers
is constantly plotting to get his turn at bossing
