"MY GOOD MAN,
DON'T YOU EVER FORGET ANYTH1NG7",
O o
THE NATION 13 SHOCKING
LY UNPREPARED.
It Is apparent that we tire
sliuckhitfly iuiH"cpjiri?(I. TI '. : v It
no nwiii for oonlroviTHy on this
point sIiko the nlijuct lfssmi mi
tin: Mi'Xtrnn burtler. All mir
uvjillfih!o rt'.uMiIni' troops (lesn, I
Iicllevc, than -lo.oooi tire there
or In Mexico, mid n h these lime
Iveeti deemed liiKiilIirlent the en
tiro niitlniial friiii ril Ijiim liceu or
dered out. That is, iv e ure huiu
incnfiiK praeiUally nil our mov
able military foives In order t
prevent hand It In.-jirshuis. In
vlevt of t lie warning of t ho past
three years. It x lnexrnsahlo
that wo should find ourselves In
tlila plight. Tcir our fidthful
Ktmrdmuen. who with n flue pa
triot In m responded to this eiill
find art hearing thin hiirden. I
1m vo nothing hut praise, ltut I '
think It little Hhort of nhsurd
that we nhoiild he compelled to
rail men from thetr shops, their
factories, llielr olllee nnd their
professions for neh a purpose.
This, however. Is not nil. The
iinltH of the n-iihuial jiuiird were
nt pence Htreiiftli. which va
only about one-lmlf the required
Rtrentrtli. It was iife.'s--nry to
lirlntf In recruits, for the ni"st
pnrt. rnw mid untrained. Only n
mull er,enta;'enf ihe re;'iment
recruited up to wiir Htrenuth will
hnvp had even n year'H training
In the national jiuard. which it c
the ntnxlinuui means n hun
dred bourn of military drill, and,
on the average, means much I cum.
Men froHh from their peaceful
employments and physically un
prepared have been hurried to
the border for actual service.
Tucy were without proper equip
ment, without necessary sup
plies; suitable conditions of trans,
port at Ion were not provided. Men
with dependent families wero
went, and conditions which Bhonld
liavo lieen well known wero dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency, comparatively
upon k Ink. was not a very urnve
one. It involved nolhbiK that
could not readily have been fore
wren durlui: the past three years
of disturbance and required only
a modest talent for orinlzathm.
That this iidnitulstratlou while
pursulnir lis course In Mexico
Bhonld have permitted such con
dition to eNt is almost Incredible.-
From Mr. Kinrhcs'
Speech of Acceptance.
TRUE INWARDNESS CF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.
Ill the spring of l!l I. occur
red the capture of Vera Cruz.
Men from one of our ships had
.been arrested nt Tarnpico and
had been diacharKcd with an
apology. I tut our admiral de
manded a salute, which wus it
fused. Thereupon the president
went to congress, ask In t: au
thority to ure the armed forces
of the l.'nifcd Stales. Without
waiting f.r the? passage of the
resolution. Vera I "run was seiz
ed II appeared that a shipload
of ammunition for Iluerta was
about to enter that port. There
was a natural opposition to this
Invasion and n battle occurred
In which nineteen Americans ami
over a hundred Mexicans were
killed. This, of course, was war.
Our dead soldiers were praised
for dying like, heroes In a war of
service. Later, we retired from
Vera Cruz, giving up this noble
warfare Wo had not obtained
the saluto which was demanded
We had not obtained reparation
for affronts. The ship with am
tiiu'iiFt ltn which could not land
nt Vera Cruz had soon lauded at
another port, nnd Its cargo was
delivered to Fluerta without In
terference. Recently the naked
truth was admitted by a cabinet
oMU'or. We are now Informed
that "we did not pi to Vera Cruz
to force Iluerta to salute the
Hag." We aro fold that we went
there "to show Mexico that we
were In earnest In our demand
that Iluerta must go." That Is,
wo seized Vera Cruz to depose
Iluerta. The question of the
salute was n mere pretext.
From Mr. Iltmhos' Speech of
Acceptance.
WANTS AN EFFECTIVE SYS
TEM OF RURAL CREDITS.
Wo propose to promote by
every prncilenhle means our ag
ricultural Interests, and wo In
clude In this protrram an effeilvo
system of rural credits. We
favor the wise conservation of
our natural resources. We de

CO-OPKHATIYK THRESHING.
Where from six to ten farmers can
work In harmony co-operative thresh
ing should prova a saving in grain as
well as time. Many times farmers
must wait several weeks for tbe
threshing outfit to make the round
because the run is rather long. If
the grain Is In the shock it wil)
sprout nnd bleach and the grade
1 be reduced very much. If eight
j men own a rig in partnership the
I grain could be threshed in less
time.
A plan for a i-nrlnehoi that hns
lieen felbnvcd if if yearr. lias shown
it i .nihilities. The wor't begins
with cno farmer who .has tbe outfit
o; e d'iy, whe '' ioes to the next
farm. This continues v:iil the last
farm is complete I. Then it. finishes
up the work. The following year
the mar, wb.i was the fiiM. this year
Is last. The round continues each
succeeding year on the above plon.
The continuance of the policy
show at least that it is successful.
'f farmers canot agree co-operative
threshing must he a failure, but
ocoperation among the farmers is
growing more popular and it will
succeed. A working plan of some
sort must be agreed to before the
work Is started and only a change
mado when all are 'agreeable. It
should not he possible for a patty to
rfeeze one. member of, the partner
ship out unless he Is agreeable to'
sell out hi share.
