Show The Role of the Knocker President Wilson seems to bo ns-sumnlg ns-sumnlg tho role of tho wholesale knocker. It Is not enough for him to Blnglo out a few men but his latost effusion Is to includo tho en-tlro en-tlro United States. Becauso tho Republicans Re-publicans havo hold up tho President and his administration to just criticism, criti-cism, the Democrats havo held up tholr hands In holy horror, but thoy sit supinely by and smllo when President Pres-ident Wilson accuses Colonel Roosevelt, Roose-velt, tho greatest peace maker of tho world, and Charles E. Hughes as men of war. They condofto utterances to tho effoct that If tho Republican party par-ty that has preserved tho peaco of tho nation for scores of years, Is restored re-stored to power, It will' mean war, Invisible government and such things but thoy can't stand to havo tho real truth told about thomsolves. Listen to President Wilson's latest la-test effusion. In making a non-partisan address to some women in Chicago Chic-ago recently, among other things ho said: "Whon tho nations of tho world como to lovo America they will obey and follow America. "Slowly wo are getting tho stago; slowly wo nro marshalling the forces; for-ces; slowly wo are growing together. Then In boiuo happy day America will seo clearly, ns sho saw nt first, that vision of Justice and freedom and righteousness which gave hor birth and distinction at first." What nn Insult to the Amorlcan people that havo supported tho Ro-pulblcan Ro-pulblcan Party nil these years, tho party that has kopt tho nation out of war, successfully conducted war-faro war-faro and brought about peace with honor, and never failed to maintain tlio United States at tho hlghost point In tho world's consideration, and greatness. When, oh whon, will somo citizen of honor nnd roputo toll us that tho nations of tho world hnvo not continuously lovod Arnorl-ca Arnorl-ca until tho administration of Wood-row Wood-row Wilson. Then will somo citizen rlso up and tell us that Amrolca hns not slnco tho days ot Abraham Lincoln seen " that vision ot Justice and freedom nnd righteousness which gavo hor birth and distinction nt first, until their vision was clouded cloud-ed and blinded through tho shifting, wabbling, noto-wrttlng administration administra-tion of Woodrow Wilson. Tho facts are tho wolrd always understood us, and lovod us, until now. Suroly when It como sto knockors tho President belloves In it by tho wholosalo. Ho tukos In tho ontlro Amorlcan pooplo, nt least thoso who have voted the Ilopubllcan tlckot from Abraham Lincoln to Win .II. Tnft as well ns tho Domocrats who voted for Grover Cloveland. |
