RULE.

Mexico, that has caused the death OF
500 Americans, and the destruction
Of the homes and property Of 10000
more; and the encouragement Of arm
ed banditry and outrages.
At the rate the present ~administra-
ton is going, the appropriations for
the Gath Congress will amount to ST.
226 1869, 1868, practically the costof the
entire Civil War. The largest sum
ever expended by a Republican admin
istration was in the last year Of that
war when it used 1925, 099,l89.
How the North Pays.
But the South in the saddle has
seen to it that the South was kindly
exempted from the weight of these
taxes. Some comparisons Of the Denl-
ocratic internal revenue burden on the
Northern states are shown below:
| State Wealth Tax
Connecticut 2s2,60o.366 1,123,03S
Georgia 3,2s6,600,366 651,579
Oklahoma 1851, O91,422 442,O21,

Mississippi 1874, S60,020 146,88s
Montana 1,149,732,986 247,006
The list is long, but throughout

Northern and Southern states. Viii

In his first year as president, Mr..
Wilson signed four acts which author
lied government appointments out
side the civil service. The Civil Ser
vice Reform League, of which he was
at once a vice president, urged him
not to sign the worst one Of these bills
but he refused, and later this great
national non-political organization
critized him in it's annual report
Help Deserving Democrats"
And as further confederation of the
4whole attitude of the administration
towards this subject we have MI.
Bryan's famous letter, part of which
is as follows:
my Dear MI. Wick: Now that you
have arrived and are acquainting your
self with the situation, car you let me
know positions you have at your dis
iposal with which to reward deserving
Democrats? Whenever you desire a
Suggestion from me in regard to a
man for any place theere call on me.
You have had enough experience in
politics to know how valuable work
ers are when the campaign is on and
how difficult it is to find suitable re-
wards for all deserving **+*"

Wilson's Foreign Policy.
But it is when M turns to his for
eign policy that one realizes the short
comings that have characterized Pres

subjected to all the horrors Of unciv-
ilized warfare. Neither sex nor con-
dtion Of non-combatants was respect

lettering old men, fell victims to the
lust and brutalities Of rival factions.
At Durango, in spite Of the protests
of the American Consul, and without
any objection from our government,
the city was given over by the consti-
tutionalist general to the unrestrain-
ed license of his soldiers for "a hours.
American women were gathered in
MacDonald's institute where their
husbands barricaded the building and
fought to preserve them from the ra-
pacity Of rebel soldiers.
Extort Promissory Notes.
Then to cap the infamy, after the
Americans had been abandoned To
their fate, and ordered to get out Of
Mexico the best way they could, Mr.
Wilson's government extracted prom.
issory notes from them, payable K
Mr.. Bryan, for transportation home
charging them 8 per cent, and fur
nished only steerage. Is it any won
der the honor of America has perish
ed before the world?
