e THAN WILSON'S PEACE By Theodore Roosevelt. Under President McKinley we had a war with Spain. Under ‘President-Wilson we.are assured ‘that we have had “peace” with :Mexico. These are the words. Now for the deeds., During the ‘war with Spain fewer Americans ‘were killed by the Spaniards than bave been killed by Mexi- «cans. during. the present “peace’ with Mexico, Let me repeat this, A greater number of Amer- icans .have .been Kkilled by Mexicans during ..these yeprs, when we are officlally informed that we have been at peace with them, than were killed by the Spaniards durlng our entire war with Spain. Moreover when the war with Spain was through, it was through. But peace still con- #inues to rage as furiously as éver In Mexico. Nor is this all. The instant-.effect of the qutcome of the war with Spain was to put a stop to the dread- ful butchery and starvation.in Cuba and .the' Philippines, and the entry of both Cuba and the Philippines on a career of eight- een years of peace and pros- perity such as they had never known before in all their check- ered history. But during these three years of Mr. Wilson’s “peace,”. - the Mexicans them- selves have been butchered by their own .bandits steadily and without intermission; and Mexi- can women and children have died by thousands—probably by scores of thousands—of starva- tion, and of the diseases incident to starvation. In other words, Mr. McKinley’'s war cost less peace; and it reflected high hon- or on the American people; whereas Mr. Wilson’s peace has been one of shame and dis- honor for the American people, and one of ruin and bloodshed for the Mexicans. A PICTURE OF HUGHES. The New York World, which once was outspoken in its admiration for Mr. Hughes, now declares that the people .do not know where Hughes stands, or what he stands ¥or. This Wilson .organ had no such criticism to make when Mr. Hughes was gov- ernor. The World said on May 17, 1910: “He dictated no nominations, controlled no convention, trafficked in no patronage, made no bargains with officeholders. He has rewarded no- body for supporting him and punished nobody for opposing him. What in- fluence he has wielded over public opinion has come through his appeals: to the voters themselves,” That is the estimate of Mr. Hughes given by the World six years ago. It is a pretty. fair letter of recommendation. Could the World say as much for President Wilson? Hardly, for the president has done all of the things fyom . which the World , absolved Hughes.—Kansas City Journal. GUARDSMEN PAY THE PRICE OF WILSON'S ABASEMENT. Having condoned the repeated murders of Americans by the Carranzietas, and having abased himself before Carranza, and having aided .In placing Carran- za In power, what is Mr. Wil- son’s reward? and who pays it? The reward ls that Mr. Wilson has to place 150,000 troops on the border -to partially prevent the raids and murders that his friend Mr. Carranza will not or cannot prevent; and the pay- ment Is made by the soldiers who are slain and by the fam- illes of the guardsmen whe go. In want because, their husbands and fathers:have been called to the barder ;to make .good Mr. Wilson's refusal to let the regu- tar army administer such punish- ment ta.the bandits as to inspire In them: a _healthy fear.—From the speech .of Col. Theodore : Rooseyelt, delivered at Lewis- . ton, Maine, In.behalf of Charles The President himself has tried to appropriate for his own advantage the sentiment of “America first.” The' Democrats have tried to make his sup- port an act of plety, by adopting, “Thank God for Wilson,” as a slogan. Mr. Hughes, with rare courage, frank- ness and penetration, is exposing the‘l flimsy fouyndation , for the claims: of| Wilsonian infallibllity. He Is laying bare a_record of, extravagance, parti- sanship, sectionalism,. : incompetence; wrongheadedness, vaccillation and im- sincerity which destroys the attempt to make: 8;.Joss out of the President::| . The Democrats must come out of :their |- . ecstatic trance and defend,their stew- ardship,.,.The Presideunt.is to be put on the stump. We are to hear some- thing beside Delphic prose poems.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Mr. Wilson-now virtually admits that all his own idess were wrong fosr years ago. He has changed.his miad on every public question. On some of them;he has changed, twice or even three tipes.

The GIVEN HARDWARE NEW S was one year old last Friday. For a continuous fifty-two weeks it has a ppeared in the columns of the Daily and Weekly Pioneer. We are satis fied with the results. On many occa- .sions it has sold out complete stocks of special sale goods and increased sales of regular stock. Farmers and townspeople alike have become faithful readers of our columns. They have learned to watch for our store news, because in many cases it has saved them considerable money. Our columns have been truthful, through which we have gained the trade and could absolutely rely upon the facts as stated. We have found that this is what counts in advertising. In the future we will aim to keep you even better posted on mar ket conditions and prices in the hard- ware line. And when there is an o pportunity ‘to save you money we will tell you so. If all the merchan ts everywhere would get together and put the “kibosh” on Mr. Fake Adv ertiser, we’d find it a ecinch to in- crease our business through properly used advertising space. As before stated, we have benefited greatly by our advertising, and at this time wish to extend our patrons our most sincere appreciation for the patronage given during the p ast year.
