THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Thc average man lia? too little time at hin disposal to eveu make a beginning at keeping up with the great mas? ?f government documents j v. ii. ii ure being continually ?cut out .for his periiHal and information, in fact, thc very much greater part of them are not worth the time and ' thought, to the man on the street, that lt v. .iitld take to read them, unless it ,ls something that pertains specially j to hi:? business. OUter ?tate papero larc of great vuluc and should be closely read by every one who de sires to in?rense his knowledge of the ' workings of his government and j thereby increase lils own usefulness .as a citizen. Among this latter class is tho ad dress of President Wilson to congress on inst Tuesday and which was print ed in Tho Intelligencer in full on "Wednesday morning. The bread and I clear views, so forcibly and so clearly j expressed, of our nationii opportuni ties and duties, as well as to world pollticp us to internal affairs, will give a clearer basia of understanding ! of the crisis through which the United I Hiatos ls now passing and a better . view of the duties and privileges of 1 citizenship to every one who will read it. ! 'While tho address ls mainly on tho general subject of "preparedness" for nutional defense, there uro other mat ters spoken of which arc of vital in terest nt this time. Among those of greatest interest is our attitudu to wards and relations with Mexico and tim other republics of Central and pou th America. With the treatment tiloso republics have received hereto fore, oven by the United States gov ernment, it Is difficult for them to believe in tho sincerity of thc "big brother" attitude tnkon by Presidont Wilson. Their experiences In tho past with tho land and trade grnbblng proclivities of European nations makes it hard for them to believe In bur honesty when we toll them that ?wo want nono of their territory and nothing from them tin - cannot be ob tained by fair and honest exchange bctweeh citizens of free republics, whoBa citizens are in all respects equal before the law. Phis attitude towardB our neigh bor republics has been persistently advocated by President WIlBon since his Mobile speech two years ago, and a better understanding with them will be ono of the crowning accom plishments of his administration. Mr. Wilson - very emphatlca1.!? speaks of*another-thing which should stir within every one n higher appre ciation of the duties and privileges oi a c'tizen of the United States. HU denunciation of naturalized cltlsent who. forgetting thc obligations volun j tarily takeu by them, Join hands with I foreigners In disturbing the pcaco ant' j destroying property ' in their adopted I country, is timely and ' appropriate l and tho language used IB not as strone ?as would be justified. No one objects to tho man born lr Germany or Rrance or England hav ing hi? sympathy with his . native , country. But when ho takes tho oat! j which makes him a citizen of thc United States, ho owes. his highest j duty and most devoted loyalty ti this country-to act otherwise he li an ingrate and not flt to be ? citizen Another thing brctght out by Pres ident Wilson we cannot forbear men Honing, and that is tho position tin I United States occupies In interna j tlonal affairs. Wo cannot rcmalr provincial,- our boundaries aro po' marked by tho shores of the Atlant!? and. Pacific oceans and the surveyor*! lines between us and Canada anc Mexico.
