enervating climes.
What started me on this train
of thought was George c. Vail
lantS fascinating book, "Aztecs
of Mexico (Doubleday-Doran).
This book tells us, with many
illustrations. of the origin. rise
and fall Of one of the most re-
markable peoples and nations of
pre-ColumbuS times.
TT WAS in the -EleNentit-6e
Il fury that the AZtecS arrived
in Mexico from the North. They
built Mexico City. which was
then called Tenochtitlen.
These people built great roads
and aqueducts, sent their chill
dren TO schools, had styles in
dress. fine shops and, in word,
created the arts in the Western
Hemisphere. All this they did
in less than 100 years.
Then came at the height Of
Aztec civilization Cortes. the
Spanish conquistador, who broke
the AztecS so thoroughly that
today there is nothing left Of
their might but vestiges and
ruins.
Doctor valiant tells us that
the speech of the Aztecs was
much like the speech of the In
dams of Oregon and Montana
And that is the reason the
mystery of the North American
Indians and the Aztecs still
puzzles me.

We now have national debt

You owe it, Of course, 10 the

maybe the United States gov

borrowed it from you. Or maN5e
the government owes it 70 bank

Well. after all, maybe you and
your family don't owe that

Or. maybe. the government

America Wants to Hear
The Case Asainst War


wars delivered an important address recently in the civic
auditorium of Oakland Cal under difficult and significant
circumstances
determined effort had been made by energetic local
interests to PREVENT his appearance because of his
views against war which expected he would express
Nevertheless the principle of free speech prevailed In
Oakland and the senator was permitted to appear
Thereupon throng of thousands of people filled the
auditorium
WANT 10 hear the against war and VIII avail them
selves of all opportunities to DO So
CENATOR WHEELER made effective of the occa-
y sion to tell WHY he is conducting his campaign
against American involvement in
He is doing il against the wishes of national admin
sraon put into power by the political party of which
Wheeler himself has long been an influential and
respected member.
He is under great pressure from the administration
and its supporters to subside in his opposition.
But Senator Wheeler recalled that when he was
elected 1884 his third term IN the Senate by an over
whemng majority of the people of Montana II was after
he had said:
Il don't want to be reelected under any misappre-
hension
IF am reelected to the Senate of the United
States, shall vote to send an American boy
the water to fight foreign soil, or fight in
foreign waters"
CENATOR WHEELER again reelected in 1910,
y with full public knowledge and acceptance of his views
And in the meantime he had been member of the
of the Democratic national convention IN 1910
which wFete the platform upon which President Roose-
Welt elected to third term.
.44e prFete into that platform plank. saying in
substance that the Democratic senator's the Democratic
congressman and the Democratic President would not
send American boys-saiors pilots or army men--to
fight in foreign wars
Further, said Senator Wheeler:
II went out and that platform THE SAME
AS MR. ROOSEVELT and told the people of Montana
exactly where going TO stand and they voted for
me
Il am going to keep my promise to Montana and
tn the people of this nation L consider promise OF
that kind made to the American people solemn con-
tract with the people
II am not here tonight to do anything except to
stand the kind of platform the President stood
in 1886 and 1910.
IL am here to help the President of the United
States KEEP HIS PROMISE TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE
THE American people fortunate that influential and
/ respected American statesmen Of whom Senator
Wheeler is representative not willing to subside IN
their opposition TO
The American people have demonstrated their will
ingness give hearing to what these statesmen have
TO say and have done and ARE DOING SO on every
occasion made available to them.
Let us hope the time is not yet at hand when the
American people will be deprived of these opportunities
either by intimidation by suppression or by any CLOSING
OF AMERICAN MINDS to sincere, informed and au-
