the circus After all there are so
many attractions for the children o:
today that a circus is not such an
unusual event as it was to the poor
little whelps of years ago.
The s|ofiao, 'Thank God for Wil
son; he has kept us out of war,'
does not seeui to be very effective
in winning support for the present
administration, judging from th
returns of the Maine election whicu
gave tiie Republican ticket the
largest plurality in many years. Tbe
facts are the administration has had
severul wars. It is true they have
been small wars but American lives
were lost without a real American
victory and those injured will be
pensioned for disabilities incurred
“in time of war,’ The wars taking
place under the Wilson administra-
tionare: War in Mexico against
Huerta, 7 months, Killed 19. wound-
ed 58, war in Mexico against Car
ranza and Villa, six months, killed
16, wounded 15; war in the United
Slates repeiliug Mexican invasions,
two yeprs to date, killed 24, wound-
ed 82; war in Haiti, six months, kill-
ed 4, wounded 2; war in San Do-
mingo, four months to date, killed 4
wounded 15. These vars only show
a total death list of 67 and injured
172, but how humiliating when com-
pared with Dewey’s victory in Ma-
nila bay, Sixty-seven lives lost in
vain, the flag not saluted, Villa not
captured and no staple government
iu Mexico. Is it any wonder that
the Democratic campaign slogan is
unheeded by tbe great American
people?

Cal. Frazier was sentenced to two

Never was the law so rigidly en-
force in Mayes county as it is at
this time by the sheriffs and county
attorney’s office. Sheriff Joe Ross j
is not only a clean, unassuming of-
ficer but his deputies are trust-
worthy meD, free from drink them-;
selves and not under obligations to
law-breakers. It is impossible to
get Joe Ross to talk poiitibs fivej
minutes at any time. He is doing
his duty regardless ,of political ef
feet. When it comes to the county
office, J. M. Hill continues to get
convictions and in numerous cases
the violators of the law are plead
ing guilty without the expense of a
trial. Carefully investigate the of-
ficial records of the two men. If

the other officers in the court house |

fence and they will not shield these
men. but would not hesitate to tell
of their mistakes. ,

good judgment in not closing school
on that day. Discipline is what is
needed most in bringing up the av-

Recognized Benavides as Presi-
dent Alter He Had Obtained
Power in a Sister Republic
by Treachery and Violence.
ACT DOES NOT SQUARE WITH
SMUG DICTUM IN HIS SPEECH
Latin American Diplomat* Amazed
When They Read the President'*
. Explication of Hi* Mexican Policy—
Informed Their Government* That
Mr. Wilson's Personal Whims-.
Doubtless Were to Be Hi* Guide*
in Conducting This Government’*
Latin-Ameriean Policy.
Latin American diplomats are amaz-
ed ai the statement in President Wil-
son's speech of acceptance: "So long
as the |Miwer of recognition rests wi:li
me. Ihe Government of the United
Stales will refuse to extend Ihe hand
of welcome to any cue who obtains
power in a sister republic by treachery
and violence.”
This is the President's explanation
of his refusal to recognize Huerta and
of his Mexican policy. Yet the rec-
ords show that President Wilson lias
deliberately violated this dictmn in
several instances sluce the case of
Huerta arose.
The most flagrant example was the
President’s recognition extended to
Col. Benavides, head of the revolu-
tionary Government In Peru, in Febru-
ary. 1914. His Government was found-
ed on assassination, established by
assassination and had no vestige of
constitutional authority back of It. It
came into power on February, 4. 1914,
when Col. Benavides led the garrison
troops against tbe national palace at
Lima, Imprisoned President Bllllng-
hurst and assassinated the Minister
of War aud all others who opposed
tlie coup d'etat.
Mor* Flagrant Than Mexico.
Minister McMIllin reported these
facts fully to Washington and assum-
ed ihat this Government would de-
cline to sanction the newly establish-
ed regime. The case was identical
with the Huerta ease in Mexico, ex-
cept a much more flagrant violation
of iLe spirit of popular government.
Huerta had Madero and Vice-Presi-
dent Suarez imprisoned, hut he be-
came President of Mexico under pro-
visions of the constitution providing
for the succession of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs upon the disability of
the President Huerta s accession to
tlie (’residency was confirmed liy the
Mexican Congress.
Benavides came Into power simply
by killing those who opposed him.
His acts had no basis whatever in the
constitution of bis country and were
not confirmed by the Peruvian Con-
gress. His sole backiug was a junta
of conspirators who forced their
will on the unapproving people by
means of ready rifle bullets. Under
these circumstances Minister McMIl-
lin naturally assumed that Presi-
dent Wilson wonld bav* nothing to
do with Benavides and his Jtiuta.
The President ahortly before this had
stated Id a speech at Mobile, Ala.:
"We must follow the course of high
principle, not expediency, no matter
what rhe pressure. To do otherwise
would he untrue to ourselves."
Envoy It Surprised.
Mr. McMIllin was therefore mildly
surprised when ha was Instructed by
President Wilson to call od the newly
established Benavides and graciously
confer the recognition of the United
State* Government upon him.
In explaining thia tbe President
simply said that "expediency dictated
the recognition of the revolutionary
government of Pant." He told hi* ad-
visers that he bad not liked the per-
sonality of BUIlnghurat. He was cha-
grined alao with th* new* that Bll-
lioghorgl had Intended to dissolve
the Peruvian Congress, which the
President said would have been an
unconstitutional act.
I^tiu American diplomats at tbe
time were astonished to learn of the
President's action in Peru. They
found that it was impossible to know
where the President Stood on any mat-
ter of principle, and informed their
governments that th* President’s per-
sonal whims doubtless were to be his
guidance In conducting this Govern
ment'v Lafin-Aroer!. -i policy.
NOT AN EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
Recant Hold-Up Lsglslatlon Does
Not Shorten Workday a
Minute.
As a matter of fact. It Is not
an eight-hour law ut all. It does
not curtail the trainmen's work-
day by a single minute. If au
engineer has been receiving $f>
for working ten hours a day, this
law will raise his pay to
but It will not shorten his work-
day even the tenth part of a sec-
ond. This is no more like the
true eight-hour principle than
chalk is like cheese.
The reason why people cull
I Ids an eight-hour law is be-
cause it says that in the case
of railroad trainmen they shall
get their day's pay for the first
eight hours’ work, and all the
rest is to he considered over-
time.
Do not tell me that this strike
could not have been called off or
postponed If President Wilson
had shown that he meant busi-
ness. I do not for one minute
believe that those four brother-
hood leader* started the blaze
cuing without knowing how to
pul it out. One of them ad-
mitted that he could put it out
ao fur as his own brotherhood
was concerned, but that his fol-
lowers would think that be hud
gone back on them if he were
to do so.—Statement of Con-
gressman A. P. Gardner.

Talk Into Your Telephone
0OMETIME ago, while a business man was tele-
^phoning, a friend In his office heard him say to the
^pemoo at the other end of the wire: "I don’t hear you
dearly. Are your lips close to the transmitter? Ah!
better. II
That is much1
I beer you perfectly now.'
When the telephone talk ended he turned to his friend
and said: "Some people forget that they can’t get the
beat reeuhs when telephoning unless they speak
DIRECTLY INTO the transmitter."
Did it evtr occur to you that you might not be using
your telephone the right way? Do you speak sideways,
apeak above, speak below, apeak six inches away from the
mouthpiece of your telephone, or do you speak directly
into the transmitter ?
