HALF MILLION CAMPAIGN
10 We have determined to make July
1916 the biggest month's business
we have ever done. To do this we
MUST write $500,000 insurance
during the month. That's a great
big pile but we are going to it.
Just GOT to do it.
U And having decided to write this
amount, why it will be no trouble
for us to succeed. The popularity I
of our contracts, the wonderful
m features which modern life insur
ance has adopted for the benefit,
convenience and safety of policy H
W holders are found PAR EXCEL
LENCE in Philadelphia Life policies.
This makes them go wherever our hustling repre
sentatives have the opportunity of showing them.
This is why we are going to write to that HALF
MILLION in July.
Get in the band wagon by securing one of the best
life insurance policies in all America. Our feature
policy for the July campaign has a special dis-
K ability clause which pays itself up automatically in
case you become totolly disabled, and the face of the
policy is paid to you in annual installments during
YOUR OWN LIFETIME into your OWN HANDS.
Ask us about this policy.

President Wilson made it plain
in his spttvh at the Xew York Pres
flub banquet lonieht that he will
not countenance a war with Mexico
until t title is no other alternative
for s. lilii.s the border troubles.
Acain he declared that he wa
ready to sacrifice his own political
fortunes in oid r to carry out his oon
xiciioiis as to what would be the Just
course to pursue in the situation.
IS,unth!j:e Colby, who placed The
odore iiooM'Yelt i'i nomination for
the presidency at the Progressive
Conventie-n at Chiiauo. paid Pre.-i-

coming campaign, as it was reported
: he would do.
In his address Prisid.nt Wilson

"tlf coi:r-e it is our duty to pre
pare this N it. i'i to take eare of its
honor an) of its ii:-litn'ions. Why
debate any part of that, except the
detail, exei pi ilie plan its. If. w hich
is always debatable?
"Of course. It is the duty of the
Government which it w ill never over
look, to defend the territory and peo
ple of this country. It coos without
savins that it is the duty of Ihe Ad
ministration to have constantly In
mind with the utmost sensitiveness
every point of National honor.
"Uut gentlemen, after you have
said and accepted these obvious
thinps your program of action is still
to be formed. When will you act.
and how will you ait?
"The easiest thing is to strike. The
brutal thing is the impulsive thing.
No man has to think before he takes
aggressive action but before a man
i really conserves the honor by realiz
ing tin' ideals of Ihe Nation, he lias
to think exactly what he will do and
ho he vv ill do it.
"io iai think the glory of Anieri
ea would be enhanced by a war of
: conquest in Mexico? I o you think
that any action of violence by a
powerful Nation like this, against a
weak and de.-tru- live neighbor would

"lio jou think l!u t it is our duty
to carry -oll'-def nse to a point ol die

ple? The ideals of America are w rit
it n plain upon every page oi Amer
ican history.
"And I want you to know how fully
I realize whose servant 1 am. 1 do
not own the Government of the I lilt
ed States, even for the time being.
I have no right in the use ot it to ex
press my own passions, i liave no
light to express my own ambitions
for the development of Amiiiia it
those ambitions are not coincident
with the ambitions of the Nation it
self. "And I have constantly to remind
myself that I am not the servant of
those who wish to enhance the value
of their Mexican investments, that 1
am the servaul of the rank and hie
of the people of the United States.
"1 get a great many letters, my fel
low citizens, from Important and In
fluential men in this county, but 1
got a great many other Utters. I get
letters from unknown nun, from
humble women, from people whose
names have never been heard and
never will be recorded and there is
but one piaxer in ail of these letter
'Mr. President, do not allow unvbodv
to pi t. uade you that the people of
tnis n u:.ty want war with any
body.'
"I got off a train yesterday and as
I wa bidding good-bye to the ni
iiecr, he aid in tin undeitone, 'Mr.
President, keep out of Mexico.' And
if one man has said that to me a
thousand liave said it to me as 1
have ihovt d about the country.
"If I had opportunity to engage

of course, we know that you cannot

altogetht r, and it may he necessary,
but for God's sake, do not do it unlcs
It is necessary.'
"I am for the time bring the
spokesman of such people, gentlemen.
1 have pot read history without ob-i-'orvinr;
that the greatest forces in
th world and the only permanent
Io.it ; ai" the moral forces.
"Force will not accomplish nny
th'ng that is permanent I venture to
say. in the great struggle which Is
goinc on on the other side of the
sea. The permanent things will be
accomplished afterward when the
opinion f mankind is brought to
bear upon the issues, and the only
thing that will hold the world steady
Is this same silent. Insistent, all pow
erful opinion of mankind.
"Force can sometimes hold things
steady until opinion has time to form,
but no force that was ever exerted ex
cept in response to that opinion was
ever a conquering and predominant
force.
"I think the sentence In American
history that I myself am produest of
Is that In the introductory sentences
of the Declaration of Independence
where the writers tny that a due re
spect for the opinion of mankind. de
mands that they state the reasons for
what they are about to do. I venture
to say that a decent respect for the
pinions of mankind demanded that
those who started the present Euro
pean war should have stated their
reasons, but they did not pay any
heed to the opinion of mankind and
the reckoning will come when the
settlement comes.
"So, gentlemen,
matter what my personal fortunes
may be to play for the Terdict of
mankind. Tt rsonally. It will be a
nutter tt indifference to nie what
the verdict va the seventh of Novem
ber is provided I feel any degree of
con.itb nce that when a later jury sit
