to face the wolrd with such q

1t certainly is disgusting to the
average American citizen to read
the uttcranccs of some of the
rock-ribbcd republican politicians
in Congress aud in public speech
cs over the country in their ef-
fort to discredit President Wilson
and the, democratic party by
charging them with treachery to
the American people. Jim Wat
son, lndiana's congressman, who
was the republican whip of the
house for years and who was de-
fcated when President Wilson
was elected the first time, but
who managed to squeeze in again,
in a speech the other day made
an cxcoriation of President Will
son and the democratic party at
ter the cheap, unpatriotic school
boy fashion.
Mr.. Watson and his followers
seem to forget many important
facts concerning the international
relations Of Germany and the
United States that have since
transpircd and which made it alb
solutcly untcnablc for President
Wilson to keep hands off any
longer. and these facts put an
entirely different Interpretation
upon the actions of the president
and his party than that which Mr..
Watson and his republican friends
are attempting to imputc to them.
In the first place. and purely
for political effect, the republican
office seekers criticised the prcsi
dent for not jumping into the con-
flict at the very affront by tl>
kaiser. Now they criticize him
Tor plunging in, claiming that the
nation does not want war and
that Mr.. Wilson is a traitor to
the nation. because he was elect
cd on the issue that "hc kept US
out of war"
They wilfully ignore the fac,
that at the time President Viii
son was n candidate he was rest
ing upon promise from the
kaiser that Americas rights upon
the high seas should be respect
Cd. and that any overt act had
been disavowcd. They also will
fully ignore the fact that since
that time Germany has issued an
order to her submarine command
crs to sink any and all vessels
within the prescribed zone. and
have attempted to dictate and
control the movements Of An,cri-
can ships and to destroy her ',:'

scrt that right prescribed ana
vouchsafcd to them under the
constitution Of these United
States.
Going back to the political
phase Of the situation it would,
according to Mr.. Watson. have
been far more honorable in Mr..
Wilson to have ignored all Of
these insults in order that he
might have maintained his poll
teal equilibrium rather than to
have jcopartlizcd them by uphold
