'HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNA WED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBKIBED BY GAIN. IUMN XVIII. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 11, 1916 NUMBER 13 r A GREAT SPEECH. Tent Crowd Hears. Roosevelt In Attacks On Wilson Battle Creek, Mich.. Sept. 30. .,i ;n,r to an audience which fill- h a huge circus tenc nere mis ai Irooon, Theodore Koosevelt as 4iied the administrative record of resident Wilson and urged the Jectioa of Charles E. Hughes. 1 When the former President en ilieil the tent he was given a wild iatioo. Climbing on a table on le speaker's platform, the Colon J read his prepared address, which las devoted almost entirely to an itai'k on President Wilson's for jgn and Mexican politics and the liter's support of the Adanison Ji'lU-hour day bill. (Yilonel Koosevelt declared that sident AVilson's chief policy las the policy of vaccilation. He ildared the President, in ''fifteen Jess-age, letters and speeches," Jade from December 9, 1914. to lebniity 10, 1916, "took 41 dif ijreut positions about preparedness tjod the measures necessary to se cie it. aud each of these 41 posi tions, contradicted from one to six ..J the others." J The European policy of Presi dint Wilson was referred to as 'Jiuuiiliatiug and ignoble." The Colonel referred to the tor -If doiug of tne Lusitania by a Ger- ijan submarine, as "the most IrBlJ&Siu Muuie lustnuuc ui tuo uiui 1 car ol uon combatants, including men, omen and children that had : ecu perpetrated by any power uliing itself civilized, for more! fl an a century." "I have been asked what I would lave done if 1 had been President en the Lusitania was torpedo shouted the speaker. "I uld instantly have taken posses- . I, . . c .. t i i. -i suu v: tery urermau amp luterutu this country and then I would ve said: 'Now, we will discuss im what we will take but what e will take but what we will give k-k,'' This utterance received wild ap- 'Mexico offers the most striking gtauee of contrast between words d deeds on the part of our gov- tjjiiment." he said. "Mr. Wilson seaks loftily on behalf of 'oppres ?1 men aud pitiful women' in the stract; but when the forces of rranza and Villa murdered twericau men, and outraged faieiicau women Tinder the direct thority of their leaders, Mr. ilaon made no affective protest auy kind: and in his speech of ceptance he has actually apolo cd foi these men on the ground at they 'represented at least the ice passions of reconstruction Kb. lies at the very heart of erty.' It is difficult to SDeak Mieutly of such an utterance, pen we remember the infamy Jich n covers, and the abject bniission to infamv rr whif-h it ks to apologize."

' It showed i teel f in' his dement a little over two weeks f to the effect that it was inex e,"entthen to arouse the spirit 'patriotism mm square these acts with words of bis. Let him square these words with his professions of interest' in the furtunes of 'pitiful women and children.' Let him square his absolute failure to take any action whatever with his state ments that any 'nation that viola tes our essential rights must be checked and called to account by direct challenge and resistance. Never in our history has there been such ignoble contrast between the words and the deeds of a chief executive." The Mexican record of the ex ecutive was called "ruinous to Mexico, dishonorable to ourselves and infamous from the standpoint of numanity." "The question at issue was not that of an eight hour day at all. The question wa3 whether the President and Congress should en act a law, without investigation and without knowledge, to give in creased wages to a certain portion of the body of wage earners. The labor leaders on this issue, with -out regard to the right or wrong of the matter, first coerced the President, and then with his aid coerced Congress. The question at issue was not one of the hours of labor- It was one of wages. And it was settled by the President and Congress without investigation and without knowledge. The settlement was due partly to fear, aud partly to hope of political profit. Presi dent Wilson in his speech on the 23rd of this month sought to ex- blain and justify bis action. "He stated his wlfoJe case with probably unconscious accuracy when he said before he undertook to settle the controversy he had learned that the whole temper of the legislative bodies of the United States was in favor of what one side announced to be its contention In other words, he had made up his mind in advance, aud he had made it up because he believed the majority of the Congressmen (for the most part pure politicians) were on what they deemed to be the popular side. In this speech he explicitly admitted that in this controversy the main partner was left out of the reckoning' because the two parties declined to consider wl ?? tights had the hundred mil lion people ol the United States?" And President Wilson eagerly joined with these men in refusing to consider the rights of these hun dred millions of people. "President Wilson knows that he has betrayed the rights of these people. He admits that when in the same speech, with his usual faculty for using fine words about the future when he desires to coyer up'mean deeds in the present, he mm a M says, 'now are we going to prevent any organization from overriding the interests of society? America has the privilege to say: You must not interrupt the National life without consulting us' Exactly ! Fine words! Words such as Mr. Wilson loves to use. And as is crstomery with Mr. Wrilson, these fine words of his about abstract rights are flatly contradicted by his unworthy deeds as soon as the concrete case arises. "Mr. Wilson uses these lofty words about the future at the very time when he has made America submit to seeing 'an organization override the interests of society,' when by his action he has permit ted this organization to 'interrupt the National life without consult us,' Of course it is a mere pretense to say that there is any sacred se rial reason why there is any great er reason to refuse to arbitrate the number of hours of labor than to refuse to arbitrate the amount of wages. And the question really at issue in this case does not really refer to the number of hours of of labor. It refers really to the rate oF wages. What Mr. Wilson really did was to insist op legisla tion about the wage . scale without any previous investigation or know ledge. "Let President Wilson apply that sacred eight hour day law to the servants in the White House and see how far he'll get." said Colonel Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt closed his ad dress with a plea for the election of Charles E. Hughes. He nrged the voters to "repudiate Mr. Wil sou because only by so doing, can tney save America from that taint of gross selfishness and cowardice which we owe to Mr. Wilson's sub stitutions of adroit elocution for straightforward action."

How Come? , The news story printed promis cuously to the effect that ex Judge Cooke, of Asheville. was arrested for having in his posession nine gallons of whiskey and released as not guilty of violating the State law, because he purchased the whiskey for his own use, causes us to wonder jugt how this can be pos sibie. As we understand the law haviug in ones posession a greater amount of whiskey than one gallon is prima facia evidence that the holder of the joyous fluid is a re tailer. If an ex-Judge can safely house nine gallons of it, and by swearing it is for his own use, why can't any other common mortal, white man or black man, do the same thing with impunity? If the law works only with the suspect, then what is to hinder men not suspects from dealing in the poison for gain? The story is that a whole trunk full came into Asheville for the ex-Judge; 'that the policeman saw it and arrested the judge, and all he had to do was to go on the witness stand and swear it was for his own us, and the incident was closed. We beek information on this point. Greensboro Record. Children in Junior Orphanage.
