It is well to con- become embroiled in arms with our sister republic to the south, we might now possibly be engaged in the great war that is today shaking the whole vealing only too vividly what this country escaped in avoiding a war The people are be- ginning to realize why Woodrow Wil- son was so patient, what he was try- ing to avoid, and what he succeeded in avoiding. Wisdom Now Apparent. The wisdom of the president’s course toward Mexico is now appar- ent. An expensive war, and a war |withm|t glory to the United States, has been avoided. The mediation {caused the flag incident to escape in- | to the background and served to post- tpone action by the United States against Huerta until the advance of the constitutionalists drove him from | Mexico. i Tolerance His Greatness. ! = As the public is brought to review the recent history it will come to admire the course of Woodrow Wil- son more and more. |anti-administration papers: are try- guvm'nment came off second best in 2 bout involving the honor of both countries. There is also an insinua- tion that our administration lacked couragg to attack Mexico after the "sefzare of Vera Cruz. It took a aser. man to ovgrlno)nl{\(ann'l 18 Ifs than to resent them. But the president’s tolerance of Huerta was his greatness. He was 'dealing not with a nation but with a violent and lirresponsible individual. It was the same as dealing with -a wayward child. That is the way President Wilson dealt with Huerta, and he kept the United States out of ~war, !saving untold bloodshed and misery {and millions of dollars. One great blessing sure to come out of the Mexican revolution will be the modern free public school sys- tem for the Mexican peons. The rich landowners of Mexico who have con- trolled previous Mexican govern- ments have kept these peons in ig- norance purposely. They know that with education comes determination to secure better things and greater liberty, and the power to attain them, too. Today it is practically impos- !get any education at all.

Steps will-soon be taken by the council to designate the road lead- ing from the-Bemidji business district io the ecity limits' on the east shore of the lake as a State rural highway, and to ask the county commmissioners to designate ‘the road Jleading from that point through Lavinia to Be- midji Beach, as a rural highway. This will complete a state rural hizhway along the east shore of Lake Bemidii which will connect with the state road at Bemidji Beach, -passing through Bemidji and again connect- ing with the state rural highway at Fourth street and Irvine avenue.
