At that time anyone would have said that 1T he brought good common sense, genteel and the knack of making afer-dinner speech to his task he would be a success

A Boost For the Fishing
(Fairbanks CitiZen)

During the latter part of August President Will son authorized allotment of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars from his special war fund for the of the Federal Fisheries Bureau. This money to be used for establishing labora- tories to investigate methods of saving great quanti- ties of fish for food and for educating the people to use fish as a common food of every day In spite of the immense fishing resources of this country, fish a food has not anything like the place it has in Europe.
 There is quite extensive fishing industry on the Eastern of the United States, where there are not the possibilities that there the west coast The waters of the Atlantic fishing grounds along the eastern shores of the United States are extremely cold and hence have not the abundance of life that can be found where the water is
 Along the western coast of Europe, and England where fishing is carried extensively, there are quantities of food fish. The conditions there are much the same as they along the western coast of the United States
 The industry is scarcely developed along the Pacific coast and huge quantities of this sort of food which is readily available not being used. Therefore, it is probable that most of this money will be devoted developing the fishing industry along the western coast of the country Ways of preparing the different kinds of fish will be brought before public and attempts made to create de- mand for them this way large quantities of meat will be saved and the industry will be stimulated to greater activity

Wilson { Condemns Mob Law
As Danger to Democracy
Pronounces Every Act of Violence Contribution the
German Propaganda, Which Accuses u. S. Of
Hypocrisy in Fighting for World Freedom

WASHINGTON. July 26 President
Wilson to-day, in personal statement,
addressed to his fellow countrymen,
denouncing mob spirit and mob action,
called upon the nation to show the
world that while it fights for democ-
racy on foreign fields, it is not de-
stroying democracy at home. The
President referred not alone to mob
action against those suspected Of be-
ing enemy aliens or enemy sympathiz-
ers; he denounced most emphatically
mob action of all sorts, specially lynch
ings, and while he did not refer speci-
tically to lynchings of negroes in the
South, it is known that he included
them in his characterization of mob
spirit as "a blow at the heart of or
dered law and humane Justice"
1t is known that the lynchings Of ne
groes, AS we'll as attacks upon those
suspected of being enemies or sympa-
thizers, have been used by the German
propaganda throughout Central and
South AmeAica as well as in Europe, to
contend that the pretenIons of the
United States as champion of de-
mocracy are a sham.
Deeply concerned by the situation,
the President decided to address his
fellow countrymen, and to declare that
"every mob contri butes to German lies
about the United States what her most
gifted liars cannot improve upon by
way Of calumny."
The Presidents Statement

lows:
MY Fellow Countrymen:
u take the liberty of addressing YOU
upon subject which so vitally affects
the honor Of the nation and the very
tlons that l trust you will think me
justified in speaking very r,ainly
about it.
Il allude to the mob spirit which has
recently here and there very frequent
ly shown its head among US, not in
any single region, but in many and
widely separated parts Of the country.
There have been many lynchings, and
every one of them has been blow at
the heart of ordered law and humane
justice. No man who loves America, no
man who really cares for her fame and
honor and character, or who is truly
loyal to her institutions, can Justify
mob action while the courts of Justice
are open and the governments of the
states and the nation are ready and
able to do their duty. We are at this
very moment fighting lawless passion.
