WHY WE WENT IN.

We have always been content to allow history to
fix the place Woodrow Wilson is to ccupy, feeling GER
tain that the judgment of time would commit no err
ror. With the excitement of war upon us and occu-
pied with the actual struggle; his partisans might pro-
claim him any degree of hero they chose, they could
even place him above Washington and Lincoln as
national idols if it pleased them. But such fame
could not remain his unless the mature Judgment of
the impartial writer's Of history were warranted by the
facts that would be developed. The further away
from war we get the more frank are becoming the
expressions of opinion concerning Mr.. Wilson. Thus,
the Milwaukee Sentinel speaks upon a point or two
that will one day enter into the settled opinion con-
eerning Mr.. Wilson:
Friends of Mr.. Wilson who are drawing noble
contrasts in favor of the former president and to the
moral disadvantage of Ambassador Harvey as regards
his statement that Americans who fought under their
own flag in the war fought for their own country and
to save the United States Of America are on rather
thin ice.
They appear to be forgetting Mr.. Wilson's utter
ances prior to the German manifesto of January,
1917, and to the practical acts of war against the
United States in pursuance of that stupid policy which
Bernstein, who knew America, did his best to prevent.
Sin 1914, when the storm broke in Europe the presi-
dent declared that with the objects and causes of the
war; Americans had no concern. The war was Eu-
ropes own business and lone Of our business at all,
whether morally or politically.
"And his Injunction to his countrymen was:
1.-THE United States must be neutral in fact as well
as in name during these days that are to try mems
souls. We must be impartial in thought as well as in
action, must put a curb upon our sentiments as well
as upon every transaction that might be construed as a
preference of one party to the struggle before an
other.
Sin Mr.. Wilson's view, which was contrasted sharp
ly with Roosevelts view, the invasion of Belgium was
no concern of ours. In his message of December Z,
1915, he denounced Americans who manifested their
passionate. sympathy with one or other side in the
great European conflict"

HANG Oh 10 The NAVY.

It has come to be fairly web settled opinion that If
the United States is TO remain on the worlds map she
will have to have a pretty strong navy to keep her
self there We are in second place now SO far as ma
val strength is rated. II we expand in accordance
with the present program we can easily come into first
place and the National Republican suggests that that
position will make us the more powerful and influen-
tal in bringing about disarmament among the world
powers 1t says:
IF this nation is to be Influential in behalf of dis
armament, it must have sea power commensurate with
IFS Importance as a world power. The toothless dogs
against fighting are not impressive. China
could never be a factor in world disarmament. When
the worlds greatest naval power proposes naval dis
armamsnt its leadership will be effective. Whenever
Japan, England and the United States agree upon ma
val disarmament the rest of the world will follow. The
ability of the United States TO persuade Japan and
Great Britain to take such a step will depend very
much upon our progress in the development of sea
power. For the first time in world history Great
Britain is willing to talk about limitation of arma-
ments. because for the first time in history another
power is upon England's heels in naval equipment
That is natural enough.
For Uncle Sam to put up his gun while the other
powers Of the world have their guns out might prove
his good intentions, but it would not make him a bet
ter insurance risk.
LESS than ten years ago Colonel Bryan was going
about the country arguing against preparedness for
war and ridiculing the idea that the United States
would evei he called upon to fight again. The senti-
ment created by such pacifists cost the American
people thousands of lives and billions of dollar"

his last primary campaign in Iowa
Today tho Dubuque man heads the
national committee of his party. His
rise in the political ranks has been
rapid. He was elected national com
mitteeman from Iowa in 1919. and re-
elected in 1916 and 1920. He has
twice been elected as vice chairman
OF the committee. In 1920. as vice
chairman, he played an important
part in the campaign hat sent War

John T. Adams started In 1881 as
an office boy at 50 a week with a sash

WHAT THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR.

On July 2 the heavyweight championship of the
world is to be decided at Jersey City. AS the time
grows near the publicity grows in quantity and sill
ness. The press agents seemingly grasp at anything
that can be shaped into an item, which all moves the
Los Angeles Times to remark:
mot for themselves, you understand, but for others.
Jack Dempsey wants to win the fight for the sake of
his mother. And Carpenter wants to win it for the
sake of his baby, Jacqueline. It will break Jacks
mothers heart if he loses. 1t will blight the future
of Baby Jacquelne if Carpenter loses. How cruel
life is! And to think what it is going to cost to break
a mothers heart or blight a baby's innocent young
life.
Two strong men hazarding the happiness of their
loved ones through a stroke of cruel fate. Oh, if you
have tears, my friends, prepare to shed them now!"

LOAN TO CATTLE INDUSTRY.

To meet the temporary emergency existing in the
livestock industry the federal reserve board has rec
commended legislation to congress authorizing the sec
Rotary of the treasury to make available to the war
finance commission the sum of fifty million dollars
10 aid the livestock producers of the country get on
their financial feet This credit is deemed an abso-
lutte necessity because the producers have suffered trer
mendous setbacks and loss if not bankruptcy through
price reductions, marketing conditions, shortage of
feed and other unfortunate circumstances that have
disheartened the producers and almost wrecked the
industry.
1t is proposed to amend the reserve act making one
and two year cattle paper eligible to -ediscount in
stead of the existing six months limit. Loans to be
made through reserve banks as fiscal agents of the
war finance corporation and to be for three years
from the passage of the enabling legislation. The re-
serve banks are amply able to meet the requirements
of both the livestock and agricultural industries.

REPORTING THE BIG BOUT.

1t is the intention of sensation seeking editors of
the leading metropolitan journals to send a staff of
headiners of the literary world to Jersey City on
July, 2 when Messrs. Dempsey and Carpenter hold
their international conference. They will have seats
at the ringside and report the event in their own par
ticular style employed in putting over a best seller.
This freak reporting has been done heretofore, at
national conventions and other big in and out of doors
sporting events with varying success. Care is taken,
however, to see that a staff of regular and highly eff
ficient news and sports reporters are on the scene to
get the story as it develops
The fun makers and the high-brow literary genius
es are all right for the features and to impart i'm
portance to the occasion, but the reliable everyday,
Woodworking and story grabbing reporters will tell the
story of the great contest that will. be read by the
millions. The frills and ornaments will not concern
these boys overmuch.

WYOMING TAKES LEAD.

The Popular Mechanics Magazine in an article on
national highways says of Wyoming's share in the
Lincoln highway undertaking.:
"a finished Lincoln highway, spanning the continent
from coast to coast with a ribbon of solid concrete,
would be an accomplished fact in another year If all
the states traversed by it would invest in it the time,
money, and effort, in proportion to their population,
expended by Wyoming during 1920.
Though thinly populated and having 425 miles Of
the highway as its quota, Wyoming has spent without
stint, though wisely, to such good purpose that all but
about forty miles of this distance has been surfaced
with n boulevardlike coat of finely crushed granite,
16 feet wide and 5 inches thick. The year 1920 saw
37.5 miles of this roadbed finished at a cost Of about
$4,000 a mile. The low figure is accounted for by
the facts that the material is plentiful along the whole
route, and that for several miles the old roadbed of
the Union Pacific railroad has beer. utilized.
Funds from a 2H -million-dolar good roads bond
issue Of 1918, supplemented by federal aid and Lin
coin highway association contributions, plus plenty of
work and determination, have placed Wyoming in the
front rank of accomplishment in this highly meritor-
ious undertaking. A slogan, expressive of the state
wide sentiment, is The Lincoln Highway First"

THE SPECTRUM IN WAR.

It seems that color plays a most important part in
war as it is conducted in Europe. Having become
confused in the matter the New York Evening Post
relieves its mind in this fashion:
Cheering Green police in Silesia lined the streets
as the first battalion of the Black Watch entered
Oppeln, and even the Reds rejoiced. For two years
the dispatches have familarized us with the Red ar
mics, White armies and Green armies, the last-named
being the forces which, satisfied with neither the Boil
shevists nor their opponents, have taken to the for
ests- Latest election returns from Ulster show the
Orange more than holding its own. Monday ten thou

THOMPSON SUFFERS DEFEAT.

The political machine of William Hale Thompson,
the Chicago Republican boss, suffered a complete
wreck in the Cook county judicial elections Monday
in the coalition of Republicans and Democrats led by
the Chicago Tribune, to maintain freedom from the
political control of the courts of Justice. Ten Repub-
licans and eleven Democrats composed the coalition
slate and the lowest majority received by any candi-
date exceeded sixty thousand. 1t is the first impor-
tant defeat for the Thompson machine in several
years and means much to the people of Chicago, who
have apparently grown tired Of the encroachment of
the criminal element of the city, the failure of pun
ishment for crimes committed through political con-
troll of courts and prosecuting officers.
The country at large will rejoice with the people Of
Chicago in the days work they have accomplished.

The Republican party will view with satisfaction
the action of the national committee in selecting John
T. Adams of Iowa, as the successor of Will Hays in
the craftsmanship. He will bring to the office a life
times experience and a love for the game and will
preserve the high character of the organization. He
is Of the conservative school as things go these days
but among his most ardent friends and political asso-
ciates are the former Progressives. He can better be
styled a Republican of the Mckinley type when prog
