TO PLEDGES,
SAYSWILLCOX
By William R. Wllleox.
Chairman of the Republican .Nation
al Committee
In some of my previous letters
I have given a few of the many In
stances which prove that President
Wilson Is not entitled to too mnch
credence when he talks so smoothly
about devotion "to the principles
and the bona fide practice of civil
service reform." or repeats his high
sounding assurances that he does^not
propose "to weaken or discredit the
principle of arbitration."
Promises that are not kept;
threats that are not fulfilled; asser
tions that are not backed up; state
ments constantly unsupported by ac
tion. lose their force and cerdiblllty
after a while, and those who make
them- cease to be entitled to the pub
lie confidence.
The cynical disregard of the plat
form pledges and of the campaign
promises of four years ago, which
has been the distinguishing feature
of the Wilson administration. In
both Its legislative and Its executive
branches, Is not to be covered up or
glossed over now the brasen as
sertions and the hollow pretensions
of a new platform or the perfervid
assurances of a new campaign man
ager.
The Pledge That Wasn't Kept.
Four years ago the Democratic
platform solemnly declared taht
"the constitutional rights of Amorl^
can cltlsens should protect thetn on
our border %nd go with them
throughout the world, and every
American Cltlsen residing or , having
property in any foreign oountry was
'entitled to and must be *iv%n the
full protection of the United States
Government, both for himself and
his property."
? With all the felicity of phraie
of which he In such a master, Mr.
Wilson pledged himself to that plank
to hie platform. For more than three
yiMiH he has been responsible f?.i
the fulfillment of that pledge.
In all that time there baa not
been ? day when the opportunity did
not preea upon him to make Rood
hi* word. But not ror an hour, not
for a moment, have the baftdita of
Mexico who have been murdering
American olUaene. ravishing Amer
ican wojnen and destroying Ameri
can property. been made to under
stand the righteous wrath or feel
the righteoua power of the outr4g
od American people.

A hue bear, weighing 250 pounds
was caught in a trap by B. H.

citizens of Aurora this morning In

A trap had been set for the ani

during the niRht. When Mr. Thomp
son saw it this morning, he enlisted
the advices of a . number of other
men nnd they attempted to take tho
.beast alive. Mr. Bruin, however,
proved to be rather vicious, and 1
when the men attempted to takel
him out of the trap, he broke away.

the proceeding as "the baiting of

Scf.ator Gronna of North Dakota,
one of the original insurgents In
Congress, took exception to the as

an altercation followed, from which
the North American correspondent
drew this conclusion:
"It was clear from his (Gnllin
