La Follotte.) Ijooiuiso oL' his courso in xlenling with tho European war, President Wilson today holds a supreme placo in tho confidonco of the people of tho United States. In tho esti mation of his character and service all other subjects aro subordinated to tho ono great fact that overywhero finds spontaneous expression in tho simple phrase: "JIo is .keeping us out of war." As tlio shock of war crystallizes tho divided sentiment of a nation and makes it a unit for tho struggle once begun, so tho reaction for peaco in this country has phfeed every man and woman back of tho president for peace. Thoso who mocked at his Mexican policy now offer up prayers of thanksgiving that wo aro not involved in an endless and fruitless war with Mexico. . Tlio A.
