Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1917-04-12

Washington, D. G. The house
debated the war resolution all of the
day and far into the night, and, al
though passage was assured the lead
ers predicted vote could not be
reached until early this morning.
At 2 o'clock this morning more than
80 represe ntatives had made speeches
on the war resolution and many others
were waiting for an opportunity to
speak. House leaders predicted it
would be at least an hour before a
vote could be reached.
Aid and comfort was given to the
enemy during the debate by men who
had been counted upon to give whole
hearted support to the government in
a perilous hour. The chief offender
in this regard was Claude Kitchin of
North Carolina, the constituted Dem
ocratic floor leader.
The house rejected an amendment
by Representative McCulloch, provid-
ing that none of the United States
military forces may be transported
for service in any European country,
except on express approval by con-
gress.
Representative Britten's amendment
prohibiting use of any part Of the
American military forces in Europe,
Africa or Asia except those troops
who especially volunteer for such
service, also was rejected.

The Wrong Way Out.

Sometimes we forget. God sent us into the world for a pur- pose. We did not ask to come. We did not know that we were coming. Sometimes, after we had peeped into the world, we were sorry that we existed. This is not the point. God, the wise director of the affairs of the uni verse, creates his children. when it is his pleasure. He calls them home when He feels so disposed. The minute we are ushered in. to the world the real man and the real woman will remain un- til the Godly summons comes to naturally join the invisible host of the great beyond.
 In Cleveland, on Monday, a merchant well respected, good citizen and neighbor and a man who evidently tried to do his best, left note on his desk and attempted suicide. He wrote: I have been failure. This is the best way out"
 Here is where this man made a great mistake. It was the wrong way out.
 Business and domestic troubles, the old story of weak ness and a lack of character sometimes makes death look in viting.
 The man was glad to leave his troubles behind him and te de- part voluntarily to the unknown.
 The story of suicide is usually the same. When all of the bland> ishments of life are gone the coward sneaks away to an ob-

 The man whois too cowardly to face trouble and to permit his Wife and children to share 1t with him. aud who prefer the easiest way and will leave his loved ones dependent, without recourse and without the means of living. is about the meapest man that God Almighty can cre- ate.

True heroism consists in being super for to the ills of life ."-Com- mercial Appeal.

Suppose you want to buy a horse. One man brings a picture of a horse; another man brings a real horse. Which interests you most the picture or the real thing?
 The picture tells you noth- ing except in a general way. What you want to know. as a prospective pur- chaser, is in particular way. You want to know whether the horse is sound of limb and body; how old, sturdy and active it is, and something definite as to it's spirit. The picture tells you none of these things. You can learn them only by in specting the horse closely and seeing it in action.
 It's just as unsatisfactory
