(By Sonator Robert M. 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. B. 0. medial ion, at tho timo regarded lightly, if
not slightingly, assumes in rotrospect an important part
in delaying hasty action and in averting an impending
conflict.
President Wilson's overy move for peaco, overy act for
strengthening neutrality, has tho stamp of sincerity, of
wiso caution and fearless purpose Full in tho oyos of tho
world ho maintains a calm and poiso in direct ratio to tho
responsibility that rests upon him'
Incidentally, the country rojoices that Wilson is presi
dent, not Tioosovolt, whoso rocontly expressed attitude
toward disarmament confirms this judgmont. Tho accum

WETS AND DRYS
CROSS WIRES WITH
ASHLAND, Oct. 21. Tho visit and
speech of Dr. Wlthycombe at Ashland
brought tho good doctor all kinds of
grief. In addition to the bold stand
taken by tho Tidings In exposing tho

Hutton U assistant superintendent of
the Oregon Anti-Saloon League. Dr.
Wlthycombe congratulated Hutton on
registering the voters and asked him
to dismiss his audience and to bring

forepart of the program. Hutton
proceeded to his hall when D. Poroz-

tho hull that night and thero would

ton was surprised at seolng Dr.
Wlthycombo's Invitation vetoed and
proceeded to his hall and informed
