ity. Whether this shall be changed
before April 16, the date fixed for a
special session of Congress, the war
making branch Of the government,
President Wilson has not decided.
One step the President is contem-
plating is a call for an immediate ses-
sion Of Congress to hear an address
asking for authority to adopt aggres-
sive measures against the submarine
menace. Already American ships are
being armed to defend themselves; the
next move must be to send warships
with order to seek out submarines and
clear the transatlantic lanes.
Some OF the highest officials Of the
government hold that the Executive
has the power to declare that a state
Of war exists and to proceed with ag.
gressive protecting steps pending the
assembling of Congress.

RECORD TO BE PRoUND OF.

Only five weeks yet remain of President Wilson's first term in office. No president since the time of Abraham Lincoln has had so many complex problems to solve as he has, particularly during the past two and one half years of his incumbency of the office
 A war with which there is nothing in the history of the world to compare, involving fourteen separate nations of Europe, has been waging with a bitterness never before ex- perienced between com batants, and it has been by only the most adroit methods that our own country has been prevented from being drawn into the terrible vortex of slaughter.
 The most binding treaties which could be entered into have been violated, international law has been ignored and the rights of neutrals have been trampled upon by the warning nations indiscriminately.
 That this country not only enjoys peace at the present time, but the highest degree of pros- perity in it's history has been due to large degree to the prudence and wisdom of it's chief ex- ecutive.
 Many of the most beneficent laws which have been placed on the statute books of the nation suggested and promoted by him and under his guidance, in all of which are not only shown the wisdom of their provisions but the perfect elimination of per- sonal motives and partisan ad- vantage.
 They have been for the good of the general Public,e of the whole people; and not for a pre- ferred class. Wisdom and just, ice have been com bined in their construction and whenever pol itics has undertaken to project itself into their consideration his command has been get thee behind me, satan"
 All records Of previous ad- ministrations pale into insignifi- canoe by comparison with his. Industrial activity was never so general. Money is plenty. The demand for labor exceeds the supply, and wages are higher than ever before.
 All the recognized indices of business conditions tell the same story. Postal receipts, gold supply, bank deposits, bank clearings, railway earnings, in come tax and International wealth, all testify to the same condi. tions,
 While the titanic struggle going on in Europe has stimulat- ed some of the industries, these form 8 very small portion of the total which is enjoying the pros perity.
 No country ever had the solid gold foundation for it's business that the United States has today, with about one-half of the gold of the world. The na- tion's wealth has increased from SISI ,OOO,OOO to 9I1O, ,OOO,OOO Oe- tween the years 1912 and 1916, CT gain of twenty one and eight tenths per cent in the four years.
 With this record to look back to, of his present ad dministratian, it will tax not only the president himself but the people as we'll to exceed it during the next four years from March 4, when he will enter upon his second term.
 The democratic party has re- ason to be pround of the achieve ments of the man of it's choice in 1912, and the man not only of it's choice but of the peoples choice as we'll in 1916.-Arizona Gag cite.
