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

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

United States, ho owes. his highest
