Entered at the postoffice at Oketo, 8, 1908, 28 second-class matter, acJanuary cording to Act of Congress of March 3. 1879. One Dollar per Year in Advance THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1916. Two futile invasions of Mexico and six separate and distinct policies on the question of permitting arms and ammunition to be sent into that country are included in the performance of the Wilson administration in its dealings with our southern neighbors in less than three years. It is this characteristic instability of the government that makes people want a change.

The Wilson administration went into Mexico to punish Villa for his outrage on American soil.

The only punishment inflicted has. been on American soldiers who were shot down at Carrizal by order of First Chief Carranza. "Franklin Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, sees strong trend for Wilson in Dispatch. Who can blame a man who for three years has been assistant to Josephus Daniels for "seeing things?" Even Woodrow Wilson could not save the infamous Clarke amendment to the Philippines bill. He lost the ablest member of his cabinet, Secretary Garrison, because of his advocacy of the policy of scuttle, but even the sacrifice of Garrison could not save It.
