Not So Much a Parallel ai a Precedent
Senator Lodge In addressing voters of Mas
sachusetts compares President Wilson's admin
istration to that of James Buchanan, a compari
son that Is apt In many ways. The course of
the administrations doeg sot run exactly paral
lel, but that of Buchanan la a good precedent
for that of Wilson. Buchanan was dominated
up to the closing boura of his terra by the In
fluence of the south. In all bis public life he
had been a sympathiser with the southern
dogma, an ardent champion of state's rights, a
defender of slavery, and while president was
complaisant at least when the plotters were lay
ing the plans that later burst into rebellion. At
the crisis he was Inclined to yield to tha de
mands of the South Carolinians, who bad de
rr anded that the property of the United States
be turned over to the state and the federal
troops be removed. It was the resignation of
Lewis Cass and the coming Into the cabinet of
John A. DIx, Jere S. Black and Edwin M. Stan
ton that stiffened the Buchanan backbone till
it was firm enough to spare the country from
the shameful record of surrendering to a re
bellious state.
Mr. Buchanan temporized when be did mot
yield to the southern democrats; the faction
tl at controlled the country then controls In con
gress now. President Wilson is dependent on
It, and he has followed the Buchanan example
'ly, from time to time, shifting his position on
important issues. His course so far baa been
that of the opportunists without definite pur
pose save to take advantage of any favoring
torn of circumstance. This uncertainty of
policy baa been the outstanding feature of the
Wilson administration, and on it the judgment
of the people and the future will be based. The
country is coming to understand the failure of
the democrats to make good on their promises,
and of tha president to be a real leader of his
party, let alone of the people. The decision
will be made on performances, and not on
pledges.
Strain of War Shaking; Cabinets.
The retirement of Admiral von Tlrpltx from
the German Imperial cabinet is followed imme
diately by rumors of the approaching retirement
of Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg, indicat
ing that, the strain of war is being felt by the
statesmen of Germany as well as of the other
countries of the world. From France comes
report that Joseph Simeon Galienl has given up
the portfolio of minister of war because of ill
health, while In ibe Hons of Commons Premier
ASquith and Navy Minister Balfour are being
rr.ede targets of violent attacks. No other war
In all history has been so great a tax on the
world. Not a nation baa been enabled to es
cape the effects, direct and indirect of the great
conflict. Not alone have complications incident
to the struggle arisen to perplex the responsi
ble cabinets, but the politicians have seised the
opportunities to add to the embarrassment of
governments by pressing for partisan advan
tage. These are as pernicious in Europe aa in
America, and even the presence of war will not
check their activity. It is part of the price peo
ple must pay for the privilege of sharing in government.-
Patriotism will survive in the end,
aa it always has, but the demagogue will also
have bis day, as he always bas. .'
Mexico
The fighting in the trenches baa become of
secondary Importance to the foot race across
tbe Mexican mountains. Those folka over in
Europe ought to declare a truce until they can
lommand attention again.
The Mexican venture bringa to tha recruit
ing of flees an abundance of recruits eager for
hand in the scrap. After all, preparedness is
not a question of readiness to fight. It is the
more vital one of being fit to fight.
If every party patriot who doubts the democ
racy of Mr. Bryan wera conscripted to the hear
ing. Secretary Pool would be obliged to adjourn
to the great outdoors. No building in the state
could accommodate the crowd and tha hammers.
The tariff on sugar stays. If we recall
rightly, Tbe Bee made that prediction at the
time our democratic friends ordered sugar put
on the free list, only the back-tracking came
sooner and mora unanimously than anyone existed.
Primary petitions threaten to overflow stor
age facilities at the state bouse. The deluge
has a bright side, however. A rising demand
lor waste paper promises to relieve the conges
tion and turn an honest dollar or two Into the
state treasury. 1
It U really too bad the old water company
was not holding up its patrons for 60 cents a
thousand gallons at the time the city took over
the plant, for. In that case, our Water board
might boast of saving water users twioe as much
money, or as much as they are now actually
raying. It would take no more pencil dust to
figure it this way than the other way.

A story to gladden our hearts Is that printed
In the St Joseph Gasette, which tells of a Ne
braska farmer who sold a load of hc?gs on that
market for $1,600. He had kept the animals
less than a year, they being S months old
when put upon the market, yet averaging
220 pounds in weight and bringing 819.25 each.
Commenting on this shining example, tha
Gasette says; ;,
Borne few year ago the farmer ho' would have
expressed! belief in his ability to put an 8-month-otd
pig on tha market at 23) pounds would have been
plUed by hta rural neighbors; they would have won
dered whether the heat or business worry had caused
his mental breakdown. Had be boasted that aoma day
he would do that very thing, and would receive is 53
per hundredweight for bis pork "on- tha hoof," bis
neighbors would have hurried him oft to the asylum
era he did harm to himself in his ravings.
What is further emphasised is that the
$1,600 of hog money represents but one of the
products of the farmer's plant for the eight
months' period of time, during which he doubt-
lees put out some valuable dairy stork, sold
some high-priced poollry and poultry prod
ucts, and marketed vegetables and fruit.
all of which, however, Vwere but side lines to
the main crops of corn, wheat, small grain and
bay. Other states may be able to match the Ne
braska hog, but it's dollars to doughnuts they
can't beat It.
xtenry Caaot Xdga, .
Address before BUpubUoaa dak of XyBS, Mass.
THERE, to begin with. Is Mexico. What a traaio
spectacle! And the responsibility for the condi
tions In Mexico rests largely on tha government
of tha United States. Tha present administration
found Mexico and Mexican relations hi a bad condi
tion. They have made three bad conditions Infinitely
worse. They found a de facto government, under Gen
eral Huerta, in control of the capital and eupported
by tha great bulk of the Mexican population, although
not In control of certain large areas of the republic
Tha president, for some reason, took a personal dis
like to General Huerta, on good grounds, possibly, but
personal dislikes have ho place In diplomacy or Inter
national relations. Thar were good International
grounds en which he could have withheld recognition
from tha Huerta government, but there Is a very great
difference between refusing recognition and active In
tervention. Huerta would not depose himself, as the president
requested him to do, and so tha president determined
to intervene and put him out. It Is wholly proper to
refuse to recognise a government In another country,
but It la direct intervention to say that you will not
recognise a government because a particular man Is
at tha head of It The expedition was sent to Vera
Cms nominally to secure a salute to the flag, whlci
has never been given, and baste was urged In order to
prevent tha landing of a cargo of arms from a German
vessel for the Huerta government, which were In dve
time delivered to that government. Nineteen American
sailors and marine wera killed and a hundred wounded
In taking Vera Crux, and several hundred Mexicans
were killed or wounded. It was war against Geneva!
Huerta, a successful war, for at the same tlm we
raised tha embargo and allowed tha opponents of Gen
eral Huerta to Import arms from the United States.
General Huerta was driven from power and the presi
dent's war agalltat General Huerta culminated In com
plete victory by the Imprisonment of Huerta In a
Texas Jail and his death in consequence.
The result in Mexico was tha destruction of the only
government that offered any prospect of order or
peace or responsibility. The murderers and bandits
favored by tha admitils.ratlon In preference to General
Huerta, who was also a murderer, have been desolat
ing the country and fighting" among; themselves ever
since. Property bas been almost entirely destroyed;
industry U at a standstill; tb people In many parts
of Mexico are starring, and there Is no and to it yet
But out of this miserable tragedy of Mexloo ona thing
arises and eommands our attention above all ethers.
Americans have been murdered in Mexloo; soldiers
wearing the American uniform have been shot on the
soil of the United States. The administration admits
that there have been 113 such murders sine they cam
into power. There were a good many befora that tlm
and there ar a good many not included In their Hats.
It Is. I believe, speaking within bounds to say that
som 400 Americana have been killed in Mexico. If
you add those who fell at Vera Cms you will find
that more American live hav been lost In Mexico
than wera lost in the Spanish war. under the opera
tlon of th president whoa groat glory is proclaimed
to be that he has kept th peace.
W all want peace, we all ar against war If ft can
possibly be avoided; but w shall Insist, we republicans
at least, that American rights shall be protected at
horn and abroad, in Mexico and on th sea. Th
oltlsen owe allegiance, owes every sacrifice, even th
aaortfio of life, to his country; and th country owes
to him, while he obeys her law, protection In every
right that h possesses.
Twice Told Tales
New Test for the Anti-Trust law.
The operations of the combination 'that has
now a monopoly on the supply of alsal, from
which binding twine Is made, presents a new
problem to the federal authorities. That it is
a combination In restraint of trade is admitted;
tha pusxle la bow to catch It with tha law. The
operations of the trust are financed by' Ameri
can money, but are carried on in Yucatan." Be
ing nnder tha protection of another government,
it would appear to be out of reach of the United
States court. Conditions in Mexico are too
greatly disturbed to make possible any move
ruent through the government of that country
for relief. . It is unlikely that the Mexican gov
ernment would give any belp it it might Tbe
growers of sisal in Yucatan are profiting to
aoma extent through, the increased prices, while
the Americans who have manipulated the deal
stand to gain enormous profits from it In the
mean time, the American farmer will pay tha
price and wonder at the efficiency of the ad
ministration.

SILVER CREEK. Neb.. March 1T.T
th Editor of Th Be: I venture to af
firm that not on solitary loyal, patriotic
citlxen In tb whole United States, If we
would stop to think, should approv of
Wilson's order that our troop should
Invade Mexloo in pursuit of Villa and bis
band of cutthroats, and for many rea
sons, a few of which I her state in
brief: ' . v
1. President Wilson, as tha matter
stood then, and as It now stands, ha no
lawful authority whatever to order our
troop into Mexico, oongresa not having
declared war. Th passage of our troop
into Mexico tor such purpose and under
such circumstances, would be aa act of
war which none but a nation utterly
weak or utterly pusillanimous would for
an instant tolerate.
S. For this unlawful Invasion of our
territory by Villa and hi band. Wilson
should first demand full and complet
satisfaction from th Mexican govern
ment which he, himself, had only re
cently formally recognised. In th event
of failure to obtain such satisfaction,
then would hav been tlm enough to
talk about taking th matter Into our
own bends.
S. Siich an Invasion of Mexico would be
a piece of blank Idiocy. Villa and his
men would not be caught by our forces
but at th expense of millions of dollars;
many more American and many Inno
cent Mexican would be killed and,
finally. In all probability w would be
forced to make another inglorious sneak
out of Mexloo without having accom
plished our purpose. Just as Wilson
sneaked out of Vera Cms In 19t either
that or to remain for th purpose of
overrunning and conquering th entire
country, which, incidentally, would put
u in a moat excellent state of prepared
ness, to resist an attack from England
or Germany at our back door. What a
beautiful opportunity, too, it would af
ford Japan to seise th Philippines and
th Sandwich Islsnds and to send an
army corps to help the Mexicans resist
us In consideration of a slice of Mexican
territory.
4. As Mexico Is weak and defenseless.
so should we be great and magnanimous.
And why. for th lawless act of a bandit,
should w swell up and play th part of
a big bully toward our sister republic,
when, for the equally lawless act of a
kaiser, as Wilson would look at It In
sinking a great passenger ship, w can
only Muster and talk and dawdle and
delay?
I. To Invade Mexico, as proposed by
Wllaon and favored by Bryan, la to
grossly violate the spirit of those arbitra
tion treaties negotlsted by Bryan and
Wilson with nearly all the nations, and
places both them and us In a most un
enviable light befor th world.
1 It cannot be successfully maintained
that President Wilson has a right to
Invade Mexico, as proposed, by reason of
hi recent agreement with Cmrransa as
to th reciprocal passage of troop, for
that agreement, la substance, 1 a treaty
and nothing else; but It baa not been
concurred in by tb senate as h con
stitution requires, and i therefor of no
legal fore and effect whatever. In mak
ing such aa agreement, or treaty, and
assuming It to be complete without the
concurrence or th senate. President Wil
son arrogate to himself th whole
treaty-making power of th government
To upheld him la hi present eours Is
to approv of thla plain violation ef
th oonatltuttoa and ef hi wa official
oath that h would to th beat of hi
ability "preserve, protect and defend ft."
And I will here add that for these acts
of usurped authority Presldnt Wilson
should be at one impeached and turned
out of office.
For violsting an set of congress made
for th purpose ef keeping Its partisans
Irt office againat th will ef th president,
article ef Impeachment wer preferred
gainst President Andrew Johnson, and
he barely escaped being turned out et
office, but now, fifty years inter. When
President Wood row Wilson violated th
constitution Itself by Ignoring th senate
and the congress and. arrogating to him
self th treaty and war-making powers
of th government, not even one senator
or congressman can rise In his place and
utter a protest, whll I. a privat clttten,
who dsrea to say a word fof that con
stitution for which h one shed hi
blood, will be chsrged with disloyalty
and have, metaphorically, rotten egg
throw at m by men who more lightly
prls a fat office than our common heri
tage ef liberty.
But as on robin doet not make a
spring, neither Is It to be presumed t'.".
on president can destroy his cot:rtry.

Wilbur D. Neablt. ,
We've brought it from th' old land an'
plaoed it In th' new
Would wo could bring y Erin's winds
an Erin's sky of blue.
Fr Erin's winds are slngin' sweet an'
Erin' sky is fair;
In all th' world there 1 no wind an' sky
such as is there.
But here are Irish weloomin's that wit'
rich cheer abound
An' never man In all th' world has stood
on better ground!
Th' noddm shamrocks whisper of th'
winds that swept th' sea
An' lnt into th' heart of men th' faith
that they'd be free
O, had ye ears to hear th words they say
to Erin's sons!
O, could y sense th melody in every
breese that run
Across th breadth of Ireland, till each
true heart Is found!
Stand firm upon this good old sod ther
la no better ground!
Her kings have stood, and men have
.. stood 'twa never place for slaves!
Tla of a Piece wit' that which grow
above th' patriots' grave;
Tlo kin to alt th' sod that spreads above
this blessed land r .
With tears , of. dew. for graves of thlm
' that dared th' tyrant s hand. '
'TIs God' own sod the same a grows
above each hallowed mound. . .
No man In ail th' world ha ever stood
on better ground. ,
W'v brought It from th' old land an'
placed It In th' new
Th'. green fleg floats above It Wlf th old
red, white an' blue,
An both flags tell th' story of th' long
un conquered year .
When common ground waa sa notified wlf
blood an' wimmen'a tear I
It spurned th traitor' foot, an' it has
stanched th' patriot's wound
No man in all of Uod'a green. world has
stood on better ground! .
