PACE IV* i‘HE TWICE-A-VEEK DIWATC^ FmOAVv IaN. 1, l£OOSSVELT AND WII^N. Thfrjdv'n- Roosevelt’s criticism of President Wilsoh’s Mexic^ folii'y iii the- fievcr^st to which the administration has been sub- jeiitetl ITie President's uncompromising adherents wHI call it violent, brutal, and unjust. AI?. Koosevelt^s unabated friends will eall it unanswerable, just, and due. Somewhere in between, prob ably, is the {ruth. The Tribune has alwajrs sympathised with the motives and pur- po^ of the President's refusal to reco^lze the assasin, Huerta. Col. Roosevelt makes this refusal one of the chief counts ;r» his indictment of the President. We have felt from the beginning that government in Mexico was ihs^urely established on assumption and that the Unitbd States government could not, without offense to its own princi ples, accept in even mood whatever the knife oi- revolver offered in the shape of a president of Me.xico. It is not assumed that the argument is one concemiiw morals. No American defends government by assassination. With the moral issue out of it* The Tribune r.pplaiided the non-r^omition ^ Huerta as a matter of good policy, tending to establish the fact that assasination would not be a safe and secure road to au- llibrity in Mexico. If one man may win the priesidency by killing his chief, another nan may, and thus revolutions multiply. The Tribune’s disagree ment with President Wilson’s policy would not start where CoL Roosevelt starts, but it would come substantially to the rame •onclusions that the former president reaches. . Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryari, proclaiming their resolye not to in- ter\-ene in Mexican affairs, did intervene. They made their inter- ▼ention at once effective ad futile. It was futile so far as any benefits to the United State were concerned: it was effective so far a.s the Constitutionalists were concenied. Mr. Wilson ahd Mr. Brj'an did adopt the Constitutionalist.s. The ideas of Mexican Revolutionary chiei“s with regard to moral ity and humanity are so offensive to our ideas that such an adop tion was dangerou-^. Mexican soldiery is licentious and brutal. The leaders are indifferent, the license great. We fay sincerely that Pre.^ident Wilson’s ideas with regard to Mexico were as noble as they were fated. He wanted to see democracy established to the south, to see aBrarian injuitice tnded and brutal authority suplanted by just authority. It was natural for a sensitive, .scholastic mind to ignore the human ele- »ients which would not permit the course of logic to run smooth, and with regard to Mexico Mr. Wilson forgot that he had other things to do than to see the cause of pure justice advanced. Mr. Wilson had certainly elementary duties to perform. He, as president of the United States, was expected to see that regard •f American citizens was imposed people would might be reluct ant to di.splay it. As president of the United States this, more than the establishment of a true democracy in Mexico, was his iuty. It is undeniable that he subordinated it to what seemed to him to be the greater object of establishing good gpvemment in Mex- ico. lit and Mr. not nnly favored but aided the Constitu tionalists. The Constitutionalists were guilty of atrocities, as set forth by Roosevelt, and Wilson and Bryan had full knowledtre •f them. Their ow’n perplexity in the face of the.se facts must have been great, but they stood steadfastly and even defiantly by their pro gram. Huerta was to go; agrarian reform and social justice were to be brought to Mexico by such men as Villa and Carranza. They became tolerant of the method and hopeful for the re,«iuit- They became opportunists. They rtCvGpton Wiitn.0 * v» Ciirn0 along. To break with the Constitutionalists meaTit to t,hro\?r dowr: the in.strument by ^vhich they hoped to accomplish their purpose imd they tried to cajole Villa to adopt better methods, to hold his men in better control and con-ect his own cruel impulses. The undertaking tvas precarious and it is yet. It was not interventiim by the open use of force and at the expense of life, but it was intervention. It put responsibility for Villa, Carranza, etc., upon the American administration, and this is the responsi bility which Col. Roosevelt effectively brings home. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan, in truth, had no policy with regard to Mexico. They had merely hopes. They were di.sturbed when they found that an .\merican force had to be sent to Vera Cruz, but were successful in restricting that adventure so that it brought no advantage to the Unied States, althoush it was the highest advantage, again, to the Constitutionalists. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan are not in control of their own repu tations as .“f.tatesmen. .A. number of Mexican patriots have con trol of them. Exasperated friends of the President ask: What would you have done? The answer is another question: What heretofore have American governments always done? They have seen that .‘American rights were respected. They have seen, where they *.ssumed e\ en a slight degree of responsibility, and we do assume it with regard to Mexico, that cruelty and inhumanity, waste and destruction, wore not unrebuked and uncorrected.—Chicago Tri bune. The politician who boa.sted during the campaign'that Alamance County had two hundred and sixty-seven thousand dollars in vestor! in good roads ha.s gone to the war where liars are rewarded for lying. Oh, rats.' it’s cruel to remind a liar that he has lied. CHLliC’H ETIQUETTE. 1. If posfsjble, be on time. You need at least five minute:? after coming, to jfet warm or cool, to compose your bvxJy and mind and to breathe ri pray er before the ser\’ice begins. 2. Never pass up the aisle during prayer or Scripture reading*. If you your presence w]. (Hstrnct the minds of many in the audience, -"i. Be devout in eveiy attitud!. .4il whisperingrs -ihould be studiously avoided. Find the senuce and hymns and sing if you can. Share the book with your neighbor if neces.sary. 4. If the sermon ha.s begun, tale f» seat near the door, no matter if you are “at home.” 5. Be thoughtful for the comfort •f others. Take the inside of the pew if you are the firet to enter, and leave all vacant space at the end next to the aisle. iv. Speak a blight cheery word to a.s m.iny a.s possible, at the close of the .service. If you are a stranger, ask one of the ushers to introduce you to the pa.'itor or to some of the church officers. This will always insure you a hearty WfiJoome. 7. Never pat on your overshoes, or wraps during the closing hymn, and do not make a rush for the door im mediately after the benediction is pronounced. There shouiu be no ioad, talking or jesting after tha service is | concludcd. | (It would be well for the Church j members of this town to observe this: etiquette. Strangers and visitors feel! iembarra^sed when attending church when no ^^ttention is pak) to them. —Editor.) ItUB-MY-TISM Will curc Rheumatism, Neu* raiii*.

He says it i-s strange, with thi de mand abroad for our manufactured Roods, that some manufacturers do .i.'t seek foreign trade. Cotton mills, he s:'.ys, “are waiting" for something. “Can it be they hope for a tariff wall ■nnd prefer th»t to eeking foreign bus- iiK'.ss'?" Senator Simmons hits husi-j interests hard. E^^pecialiy did he iiii cotton mi’.i men. Says they • I'vofcr to be protected rather thin to' k i usihe.ss. Kot long ago. Sena tor Simmons oi- 5ome body, boasted | that all the cotton mills were running |" faU tip.'.e. But that was before the i I'io'.tion.—Time. Mercury, Hickory. ; Well, let him si'orch them. They i all viiled foi- Wilson and they . arc | i.o'.v irc'tting what they voted for.—Ed.' O j WHEN M.\N IS POOR. ‘W man is poor when he has lost thei: onfidersce of his friends, when people who are nearest to him do not brlive in him; when his character is honeycombed by deceit and pucturedj i>y dishonesty. He is poor when he i makes money at the expense of his | character, when he does not stand | clear out, supreme in his idea. When thiii is clouded, he is in danger sf the worst kind of poverty. To be in the poor house is not necessarily to be pcsr. !f- you h»v“ maintained your integrity, if your character stands forth square to the Wiirld, if you have m-ver beat the knee of principle to aviurice, you are not poor, tLougft you may be compelled to beg bread."-^ Chapel Iliil News. ■ —o- _■ The people of McCdii,'S. C;, have inaugurated a movement which would be a benefit to any town of cotmnun- ity. The 'oUowiiig circulars were dis-' tribvted: “MOBILIZE—Let all patri stic citizens enlist. We do not mean to enlist in a bloody war but a cru sade against hard times. There is a moveiiient on foot urging all the pub- lic-spirit^ - men of Me&>ll and com munity not to cancel his eatire indebt^ edness but to psy what little he can on all his outstanding ^llgations. This cam injure no ori, but on the other hand it is his plain duty, and besides will wonderfully lighten the burden of the obliging- creditors, and without a doubt will infu.se ii livelier spirit into the condition of the times.” The high positions in business life go to the men who can prevent waste. It should be the same in public life. ... __c ^ BiJt suppose >very cotton mill pr'>- prietor in the South should vote the Republican ticket it could hardly e*"- ^ect the result of the 191B election I CHURCH PI^CtORY | KEFORMEU CHUBCH.
