"MY DEFINITION OE WAR"

Once under great strain, did
write something that reflected my atti-
tude of mind, had just been through
bombardment by aeroplanes, and
wrote that night with cold hands and
hot head, my definition of war. 1t is
this War is not two great armies
meeting in a clash and frenzy Of battle.
1t is much more than that. War is a
boy carried on stretcher, looking up
at Gods blue sky with bewildered eyes
that are soon to close; war is a woman
carrying a child that has been wounded
by shell; war is spirited horses tied
in burning buildings and waiting for
death; war is the flower Of race,
torn, battered, hungry, bleeding, up to
It's knees in icy water; war is an old
woman burning candle before the
Mater Dolorosa for the son she has
given for king and country. MARY

WASTING THE PEOPLES NONE
Evening Wisconsin.

Evening Wisconsin.
A two billion dollar Congress Sena-
tor Smoot says that for years to come
the session of Congress which came to
an end yesterday will be known as the
most extravagant in the history of our
country. The direct appropriations
made at this session of Congress amount
to 81 $50, 1888, $50, and there have been
contracts authorized in the same appro-
priation bills amounting to 1916, 875, 366,
or total direct and authorized appro-
priations and contracts amounting to
the enormous sum of 81, 947, 259, 0d8.
In defense of the huge outlay Demo-
Gratis say it was made necessary by the
demand for preparedness. Let it be
borne in mind, however, that only $500,
900, 900, of the vast sums appropriated
can be accounted for in this way. Out
side of the appropriations for prepared
ness the Sixty-fourth Congress has APP
propriated two hundred million dollars
in excess of any of its predecessors.
Among other scandals is the increase
of salaried officials. More than thirty
thousand new positions have been
created, costing the government more
than forty million dollars, and many of
these positions have been filed in di-
rect violation of the civil service law.

HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. Gompers, remembering
only that he is n Democrat and for
getting that he is a leader of organ
lied labor, ventured to assert that
Mr.. Hughes is unfriendly TO labor be-
cause he concurred IN the unanimous
decision in the Danbury hatters' case,
he ventured on very thin ice. The
chicago Tribune promptly reminds
him that an honest Judge must apply
the law as he thinks 1t Is. not as
he thinks ii ought to be; and asks
him to tell those who look 10 him
for political advice something about
the record Of Mr. Hughes as Gov.
ernor. Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ of the
New York Federation OF Labor. said
cditorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
Governors chair at Albany for his
place on the supreme court. Here it
is:
Nov that Gov. Hughes has retired
from politics and assembled to n place
on the highest judicial tribunal IN the
world, the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's political
corns that he was the greatest friend
of labor laws that ever occupied the
Governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed fftv-siv
labor laws, including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted in this
or any state.
He also urged the enactment Of
labor laws in his messages to the
Legislature. even going so far as To
place the demand for a labor law in
one OF his messages to an extra ses.
sion OF the Legislature.
only 1872 labor laws have been
enacted in this state since its erec.
ton in Attn 1873 years. One-tblrd
OF these, exceeding In quality all Of
the others, have been enacted and
signed during Gov Hughes term Of
three years and nine months"
Let organized labor take to heart
what the Chicago Tribune saws on
this point Mr. Hughes is no. dem.
agogue and no visionary. He is
man Of courage and conscience. and
II labor cannot oonfde its cause 10
his reck-bottom Americanism there il

WILSON AND MEXICO.

The older inhabitants of Mineral
Point will remember a lad by the name
of Charles Forrest Curry who was
born in this city and romped and played
in our streets and alleys as worth
while" boys usually do When but a
youth Forrest left here with his par
ents, MIR. and Mrs Charles Curry, for
California. In the golden state Forrest
developed into a man of Intelligence,
force and popularity He has served
repeatedly his adopted state as secre-
tary with credit and honor, and is now
one Of CALIFORNIA; representatives in
Congress
As recently as last week Mr.. Curry
contributed an address on Wilson and
Mexico, and we quote therefrom. be.
lieving the same will prove of interest
/ TO many 'oi our readers.
In handling the Mexican situation
the Wilson administration has invaribly
done those things 1t ought not to have
done and left undone those things it
ought to have done.
Claims that President Wilson has
kept us out OF war are so ridicuously
untrue that it is amusing to those who
know facts
- His refusal to recognize Huerta as
the de facto President of Mexico. as
was done by European nations, en-
Outraged bandit chiefs to continue
their guerrilla warfare. Since then
his vacillating policy, putting on en-
bargoes one day and lifting them the
next, supporting one faction today and
another tomorrow, debating who should
not be a candidate for the Presidency
of Mexico, and his meddesome mud
ding generally, caused his personal
antipathy to Huerta, based on an I'M
! NNiiAFAiiAAthAAN ANiAhAN NlAAt AhNuN MN
by Huerta, prolonged the revolutions.
"The President called for a confer
ence Of Mexican factions to establish
de facto government but said he would
not recognize the leader of any faction
that failed to attend, Carranza was
the only leader that refused to pay at
tention to the conference and President
Wilson recognized him.
Early in his administration the
President was too proud 70 fight. even
in defense Of national honor: later he
was looking for an opportunity to
break into the war today he claims to
be entirely neutral, what his attitude
will be tomorrow nobody knows.
"The President is an exceedingly
erudite. well-meaning, kindly, polished
gentleman, possessing more book learn
ing and less wisdom than any Of his
predecessors

Sometimes you hear men, sensible
men, too, say, I'm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept MS
out of war"
Ask such men short question.
ASK them, "Out of what war;"
Did Mr. Wilson keep US out Of the
European War; No. He has himself
IN n formal address to congress spok-
en- Of the European war as "a war
with which we have nothing to do,
war whose causes do not touch us"
How could Mr.. Wilson keep US out
of war with which we have nothing
TO do and whose causes do not touch
US?
Did he keep the rest OF the western
hemisphere out of the European war?
No Independent nation on this side
OF the world Is involved in 1t; the
only people In II are the colonies Of
European powers and they had no
voice in their fate, for they were au-
t0matically at war when their mother
governments went TO war. Who kept
Argentina Brazil, Chiley Peru, out of
the European war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of war
with Mexico? No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Next
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by MeXlcans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war In his term we have seized
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Mexi-
cans In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with

President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during bis term.
The revolution against DiaZ and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico during that
time. No Mexican cities were seized
by Americans and no armed MeXicans
invaded the United States while Mr.
Taft was in the White House. Yet Mr.
Taft never thought Of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept as out Of war with

Wilson keep US out of war with Mexi-
co? Not if words mean anything.

have been deemed insufficient

are summoning practically all
our movable military forces in

OF the past three years, it is
mexeusable that we should find
ourselves in this plight. For

be compelled to call men from
their shops, their factories. their

such a purpose. This, however.
