but Wilson settled it and settled it so effectually and wisely that his hll most reckless critics are silenced upon that subject The feder federal 1 reserve act was peculiarly peculiar peculiar- ly Iy Wilsons Wilson's personal work There was no political sentiment for it or er even agitation except in bank S ing circles It had been little discussed In the campaign The Aldrich commission had made Its report and It had been duly doly pigeon If either Taft or Roosevelt had been elected the subject would have been resurrected resurrected resurrected only In a most perfunctory way If at all alt for congress clearly clearly clear clear- ly was not Interested But Wilson at once made it the paramount purpose and policy polley of his adminis J and put his whole power powe and Influence behind it

unwilling to become a vassal to either belligerent like a Balkan state True this high- high minded neutrality does not please those among us who are so German Ger Ger- German man th that t they want

crit- I crit ical leal Juncture of the worlds world's history I With President Wilsons Wilson's Mexican policy I J cannot at all all agree It has been a serious mistake from the begin begin- ning fling But nut again I say Who Vho confronted confronted confronted con con- fronted with so many difficulties I and hardly any anyone one In all history has l had to face more would not have hav made mistakes mistakes' And let us not forget that I in this Mexican business his mistake was on the sid side I of or peace not peace not war And while distracted by these Unprecedented unprecedented un un- I foreign difficulties he has exhibited a II construe constructive live statesmanship and achieved d results In domestic policy that will make this administration notable In history Consider the list list- He lie settled the banking and currency I problem by the federal reserve act and settled it wisely and effectually lie Ire revised the thC tariff and revised I it downward oward as promised by al all parties parties parlea par par- ties lea ties S I lie established a It rural system tern tem for the farming interests This has been talked of and promised b by I I politicians of both parties f fOr r years ears but Wilson Vilson accomplished He Ue cau caused ed to be enacted a law I against child labor I For a Just Tariff System I Ue He caused to h be he e enacted d a law providing providing pro pro- viding for tor a tariff commission to stud study I the subject and devise a Just tariff system They say he changed his i I mind to do tl this s Long live 6 th the man manI I who is bl big enough to change his mind mindI to get right His Bus administration enacted the I trade commission law This was de designed designed de- de signed 1 to i reduce educe uncertainty in the law relating to combinations and and and- to be I helpful to business enterprises It may mayor mayor I or may not prove pro proa a success but it is at le least st a useful experiment that will do no harm His uis administration enacted a 8 law limiting Injunctions In labor disputes This was unwise but politicians of or both political parties have ha been promising promising prom prom- ising sing it for years The point Is Wilson's Wilsons Wilsons Wil WIl- sons son's administration made malle good by putting the law on the books He lie has put through laws for reorganizing reorganizing the army and jand navy giving them a strength and efficiency undreamed un un- un- un dreamed of by his two wo immediate predecessors pre pre- now vociferous in criticism who had the opportunity but failed tailed to todo todo do 10 anything substantial for the army and md navy or for tor real preparedness He ITe secured the enactment In a modified form of the shipping bill de deigned designed de- de signed to

capital nor the government builds them since foreign ships hipa could not be had In case of war war ALIEN VENOM ON PRESIDENT But Important as are all these considerations they are to my mind insignificant to us as a na va tion in comparison with one great overshadowing question Involved I In this election namely whether the American people are going to permit sn an n American president to tobe tobe o obe be disciplined and defeated and andI I driven from office by an alien allep element ele etc ment in our population n for daring I to insist upon American rights against a foreign gove government There is no mistaking this this' Issue TIe German American alliance I and other dl disloyal organizations I proclaim lm It with amazing audacity I I Roosevelt suffered from rom their hos hOI In his race for the dency Robert Bacon felt It In his race for the senate The New Jersey Jersey Jersey Jer Jer- sey primaries demonstrated its malevolence The leading German newspaper urged the Germans in that state to turn out and vote for certain men as against certain other men on this Issue They responded and won But their venom Is concentrated on President President Prell- Prell dent Wilson because he refused to sanction the murders and required the cessation of of submarine sub marine slaughter of American men women and children on peaceable ships at sea and because because because be be- cause he refused to put an embargo embargo embargo em em- bargo on our legitimate manufactures manufactures tures tunes and commerce But what of the political party parly and candidate that see to profit by this conspiracy the Republican party nor Its candidate has had one word to sa say against it The candidate candi candi- date lato talks Incessantly of oC undefined Americanism and uses other sweet phrases In ir a wa way to mean absolutely nothing He lIe was the candidate of this disloyal element for the nomination as he Is now Its candidate for tor the of of- of fice flee In Itt his campaign he has haa carefully avoided every word or declaration calculated calculated calculated cal cal- to antagonize this element and andIs andIs andis Is obviously seeking Its Us support If It he hewins wins wins wins-It if Wilson Is defeated there defeated there willbe will willbe willbe be more rejoicing rejoicing- In Berlin over this triumph of pan against re real redl l Americanism than there would be over the winning of or a battle or the capture of or a great cit city even city even Verdun |
