 Many vital economic measures and especially protective tariff legislation to guard our industries, are impossi- ble with Democratic free trader and socialistic proclivities in the White House. To accomplish such measures as these, we must have, as we in tend to have, a Republican president. in sympathy with Republican public and senate.
 "The rise of prices, the high cost of living which reach daily into every home, is the most pressing as it is the most difficult and most essential problem which confronts us. Some of the sources of this trouble can be reached by legislation, although not all, but everything that can be effect ed by law should be done at once.
 "Profiteering, charging of eXtor- tionate and unjustified prices, which is stupid as we'll as unlawful, are sub iect now to ample punitive laws. Those laws should be enforced, oth CTS if necessary, added, and the of lenders both great and small should be pursued and punished.
 The most essential remedy for high costs (of living) is to keep up and increase production and particu- larly should every effort be made to advance the productivity of the farms.
 "The phrase government own
 ership' means not only that the
 government shall own the rail
 roads but also, it is to be fear
 ed, that those who run the rail

 would be left to the people except
 the duty of paying taxes to sup

We fell so low that when an American was seized by one of the many bands of brigands and held for ransom, all that the government of the United States would do, was to offer to be the channel for conveying the ransom of their citizens to the highwaymen who had seized them.
 We have watched and waited long enough. We need firm hand at the helm. The time has come to put an end to this Mexican situation, which is a shame to the United States and disgrace to civilization. If we are to take part in pacifying and helping the world, let us begin here at home in Mexico.
 Let the Mexicans choose as their president some strong and upright man who is friendly to the United States and determined to establish order and then let the United States give him real and cordial support, and so strengthen and uphold him that will be able to exterminate the bandits and put an end to the un- ceasing civil war.
 When the armistice with Germany was signed the couse to be pursued was clear. That couse was to make the peace with Germany at once and then take up for reasonable consideration the question of estab- fishing such future relations with ouI associates in the war as would make for the future peace of the world. This MT. Wilson prevented He went to Europe
 He apparently had only one aim to be the maker of league of which he should be the head He was de termined that there should be a lea gue of nations then and there and in order to nullify the powers of the senate given by the constitution oi the United States. he decided to make the league an integral part of the treaty of peace with Germany. Thus he presented to the senate, and in tended to present, q dilemma from which he thought there was no es.
