Entered at th e postoffice in Decatur, AS* FE |f j| PRESIDENT That President Wilson is big enough ior the job is being told every day. Every American believes it and many of the heretofore rock-ribbed republican and progressive |>apers arc saying so. Tile following is from the Chicago Tribune, and is worth reading carehilly: ‘ The policy of the administration respecting Mexico has had tlicapprovrl of public opinion. Jingoism and selfish interest have tried to discredit it without success. As tension grows aißi critical events once more loom up, there is only one rule the level headed American public can afford to follow. "Trust the president "The president is better informed as to all factors of the situation than tiny editor or politician He has the fullest knowledge, tho fullest powers, cud the fullest responsibilities. His ■will, his intelligence, and his patriotism can be relied upon. He is on the bridge. He is in command. •'Trust the president." Some fellows down at Terre Haut seem to be trying to put Governor in the nine-hole. The race meeting dosed there yesterday afternoon and they wired the governor to that effect and asking him what he would do in the matter. What could he do at that time, if the local authorities vould not take the necessary' action to stop such violations of tile law? He replied that he would insist upon prosecutions but further than that there was nothing he could do on the last day of a race meeting. If the people of Terre Haute really want to clean up aud to regain a reputation of half decency over the state, they can do it locally and without the aid of a militia company. At least that’s the way it has been done in all the ether Indiana cities. It’s a difficult thing to force people to be pxxl when they are otherwise inclined. If things had gone according to program Jim Watson would have been governor of Indiana: and even after that slip-up. If the program had gone through, he would have been a member of Taft's cabinet; and finally, if everything had worked out as planner! ho would be president of the United States and eomlnandcr of the army and navy. it. does beat all how easily a fellow's plans are ditched sometimes. As It turned out, Jim is a mere chautauqua piker now. and he. can't et on work al that until he pets a chance Io tell the senate committee on the lobby investigation all ho know a about that business.-Co-lumbia City Post.
