In the interest Of truth and with a desire for ab- | sohite fairness, let us take the time to look into the record of the so-talled aposle of peace, Wood- row Wilson, and determine just how much of it may be genuine and how much hypocrisy. His latest venture, of course, is in Haiti. He ap- pears to have sought peace in this little republic by the practical extermination of dhe of the contend- ing factions. He sought peace in Mexico by waging open warfate against the individual, Huerta, who hap- pened to be president of that country, and later by giving aid and comfort alternately to the notorious The business map of the country runs largely. to the darker shades.
