WATCHFUL MIIG IS HM POLICY
President Wilson Says Huerta’s Prestige Is Fast Crumbling-
Message Asks Legislation for Facilitating Credits Needed by
Farmers—Urges Presidential Primaries.
Washington, Dec. 2. —The president
today delivered the following message
to congress:
In pursuance of my constitutional
duty to “give to the congress informa
tion of the state of the Union," I take
the liberty of addressing you on sev
eral matters which ought, as it seems
to me, particularly to engage the at
tention of your honorable bodies, as
of all who study the welfare of the
nation.
1 shall ask your Indulgence If I ven
ture to depart In some degree from
the usual custom of setting before you
In formal review the many matters
which have engaged the attention and
called for the action of the several
departments of the government or
which look to them for early treat
ment in the future, because the list
is long, very long, and would suffer
In the abbreviation to which I should
have to subject it. I shall submit to
you jhe reports of the heads of the
several departments, In which these
subjects are set forth in careful de
tail, and beg that they may receive the
thoughtful attention of your commit
tees and of all members of the con
gress who may have the leisure to
study them. Their obvious importance,
as constituting the very substance of
the business of the government, makes
comment and emphasis on my part un
necessary.
Country Is at Peace.
The country, I am thankful to say,
is at peace with all the world, and
I many happy manifestations multiply
i about us of a growing cordiality and
sense of community of interest among
i the nations, foreshadowing an age of
I settled peace and good will.
There Is only one possible standard
। by which to determine controversies
; between the United States and other
nations, and that is compounded of
i these two elements: Our own honor
i and our obligations to the peace of
the world. A test so compounded
ought easily to be made to govern both
the establishment of new treaty obli
gations and the interpretation of those
| already assumed.
Huerta Must Let Go.
There is but one cloud upon our ho
rizon. That has shown itself to the
south of us. and hangs over Mexico.
There can be no certain prospect of
I peace In America until General Huerta
! has surrendered his usurped authority
In Mexico; until it Is understood on
all hands, indeed, that such pretended
governments will not be countenanced
or dealt with by the government of
the United States. We are the
friends of constitutional government
in America; we are more than its
friends, we are its champions; because
i in no other way can our neighbors, to
whom we would wish in every way to
make proof of our friendship, work
out their own development in peace
■ and liberty. Mexico has no govern-
I ment. The attempt to maintain one
■at the City of Mexico has broken
■ down, and a mere military despotism
has been set up which has hardly more
I than the semblance of national author
-1 j ity, It originated in the usurpation
of Victoriano Huerta, who, after a
brief attempt to play the part of con
stitutional president, has at last cast
1 aside even the pretense of legal right
and declared himself dictator. As a
consequence, a condition of affairs
now exists in Mexico which has made
It doubtful whether even the most
elementary and fundamental rights
either of her own people or of the
' citizens of other countries resident
' within her territory can long be suc
■ cessfully safeguarded, and which
j threatens, if long continued, to Im
’ peril the interests of peace, order and
■ tolerable life in the lands Immedi-
I ately to the south of us. Even if the
I usurper had succeeded in his purposes,
I in despite of the constitution of the
I republic and the rights of its people,
I he would have set up nothing but a
I precarious and hateful power, which
could have lasted but a little while,
and whose eventful downfall would
have left the country in a more de
plorable condition than ever. But he
has not succeeded. He has forfeited
the respect and the moral support
even of those who were at one time
willing to see him succeed. Little by
little he has been completely isolated.
By a little every day his power and
prestige are crumbling and the col
lapse is not far away. We shall not,
I believe, be obliged to alter our pol
icy of watchful waiting. And then,
when the end comes, we shall hope to
see constitutional order restored in
distressed Mexico by the concert and
energy of such of her leaders as pre
fer the liberty of their people to their
own ambitions.
Currency Reform.
I turn to matters of domestic con
cern. You already have under con
sideration a bill for the reform of our
system of banking and currency, for
which the country waits with impati-

ence, as for something fundamental
to its whole business life and neces
sary to set credit free from arbitrary
and^rtjficial restraints. I need not say
how earnestly I hope for its early en
actment into law.
I present to you, in addition, the
urgent necessity that special provision
be made also for facilitating the cred
its needed by the farmers of the coun
try. The pending currency bill does
the farmers a great service. It puts
them upon an equal footing with oth
er business men and masters of en
terprise, as it should; and upon its
passage they will find themselves quit
of many of the difficulties which now
hamper them In the field of credit.
The farmers, of course, a,sk and
should be given no special privilege,
such as extending to them the credit
of the government Itself. What they
need and should obtain Is legislation
which will make their own abundant
and substantial credit resources avail
able as a foundation for joint, con
certed local action in their own be
half in getting the capital they must
use. It Is to this we should now ad
dress ourselves.
Allowed to Lag.
It has, singularly enough, come to
pass that we have allowed the indus
try of our farms to lag behind the
other activities of the country in its
development. I need not stop to tell
you how fundamental to the life of
the Nation is the production of its
food. Our thoughts may ordinarily
be concentrated upon jbe cities and
the hives of Industry, upon the cries
of the crowded market place and the
clangor of the factory, but it is from
the quiet interspaces of the open val
leys and the free hillsides that ye
draw the sources of life and of pros
perity, from the farm and the ranch,
from the forest and the mine. With
out these every street would be si
lent, every office deserted, every fac
tory fallen into disrepair. And yet
the farmer does not stand upon the
same footing with the forester and the
miner tn the market of credit. He is
the servant of the seasons. Nature
determines how long lie must wait for
his crops, and will not be hurried in
her processes. He may give bls note,
but the season of its maturity depends
upon the season when his crop ma
tures, lies at the gates of the market
where his products are sold. And the
security he gives is of a character not
known in the broker’s office or as fa
miliarly as It might be on the counter
of the banker.
Efficiency in Farming.
The agricultural department of the
government is seeking to assist as
never before to make farming an effi
cient business, of wide co-operative ef
fort, in quick touch with the markets
for foodstuffs. The farmers and the
government will henceforth work to
gether as real partners in this field,
where we now begin to see our way
very clearly and where many intelli
gent plans are already being put into
execution. The treasury of the Uni
ted States has, by a timely and well
considered distribution of its depos
its, facilitated the moving of the crops
in the present season and prevented
the scarcity of available funds too oft
en experienced at such times. But
we must not allow ourselves to de
pend upon extraordinary expedients.
We must add the means by which the
farmer may make his credit constant
ly and easily available and command
when he will the capital by which to
support and expand his business. We
lag behind many other great countries
of the modern world in attempting to
do this, Systems of rural credit have
been studied and developed on the
other side of the water while we left
our farmers to shift for themselves in
the ordinary money market. You
have but to look about you in any
rural district to see the result, the
handicap and embarrassment which
have been put upon those who pro
duce our food.
Study Rural Credit.
Conscious of this backwardness and
neglect on our part, the congress re
cently authorized the creation of a
special commission to study the vari
ous systems of rural credit which
have been put Into operation in Eur
ope, and this commission is already
prepared to report. Its report ought
to make it easier for us to determine
what methods will be best suited to
our own farmers.
Let Sherman Law Stand.
Turn from the farm to the world of
business which centers in the city and
in the factory, and I think that all
thoughtful observers will agree that
the immediate service we owe the
business communities of the country
is to prevent private monopoly more
effectually than it has yet been pre
vented. I think it will be easily agreed
that we should let the Sherman anti
trust law stand, unaltered, as it is,
with its debatable ground about ft,
but that we should as much as possi
ble reduce the area of that debatable
ground by further and more explicit
legislation; and should also, supple
ment that great act by legislation
which will not only clarify it but also
facilitate its administration and make
it fairer to all concerned. No doubt
we shall all wish, and the country will
expect, this to be the central subject
of our deliberations during the pres
ent session; but it is a subject so
many-sided and so deserving of care
ful and discriminating discussion that
I shall take the liberty of addressing
you upon it in a special message at a
later date than this. It is of capital
Importance that the business men of
this country should be relieved of all
uncertainties of law with regard to
their enterprises and Investments and
a clear path indicated which they can
travel without anxiety. It is as im
portant that they should be relieved ,
of embarrassment and set free to
prosper as that private monopoly
should be destroyed. The ways of |
action should be thrown wide open.
I turn to a subject which I hope
can be handled promptly and with
out serious controversy of any kind.
I mean the method of selecting nomi
nees for the presidency of the United
States. I feel confident that I i
do not misinterpret the wishes
or the expectations of the
country when I urge the prompt
enactment of legislation which will ।
provide for primary elections through- j
out the country at which the voters of
the several parties may choose their
nominees for the presidency without
the Intervention of nominating con
ventions.
Independence for Philippine*.
These are all matters of vital do
mestic concern, and besides them, out
side the charmed circle of our own
national life in which our affections
command us, as well as our con
sciences, there stand out our obliga
tions toward our territories over sea.
Here we are trustees. Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippines, are ours, once
regarded as mere possessions, are no ;
longer to be selfishly exploited; they
are part of the domain of public con- I
science and of serviceable and enlight
ened statesmanship. We must admin- :
ister them for the people who live In
them and with the same sense j>f re
sponsibility to them as toward our
own people in our domestic affairs. No
doubt we shall successfully enough
bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian is
lands to ourselves by ties of justce
and affection, but the performance of
our duty toward the Philippines is a
more difficult and debatable matter.
We can satisfy the obligations of gen
erous justice toward the people of
Porto Rico by giving them the ample
and familiar rights and privileges ac
corded our own citizens In our own ;
territory and our obligations toward i
the people of Hawaii by perfecting the I
provisions of self-government already
granted them, but in the Philippines |
we must go further. We must hold
steadily in view their ultimate inde
pendence, and we must move toward i
the time of that independence as
steadily as the way can be cleared and
the foundations thoughtfully and per
manently laid.
Double Duty Toward Alaska.
A duty faces us with regard to Alas- .
ka which seems to me very pressing
and very imperative; perhaps I should i
say a double duty, for it concerns both
the political and the material develop
ment of the territory. The people of
Alaska should be given the full terri
torial form of government, and Alas
ka, as a storehouse, should be un
locked, One key to It is a system of
railways. These the government
should itself build and administer, and
the ports and terminals it should itself
control in the interest of all who wish
to use them for the service and de
velopment of the country and its peo
ple.
Specially Important.
Three or four matters of special im
portance and significance I beg that
you will permit me to mention in clos
ing.
Our bureau of mines ought to be
equipped and empowered to render
even more effectual service than it
renders now in improving the condi
tions of mine labor and making the :
mines more economically productive
as well as more safe. This is an all
important part of the work of con
servation; and the conservation of
human life and energy lies even near
er to our interest than the preserva
tion from waste of our material re
sources.
We owe it. tn mere justice to the
railway employes of the country, to
provide for them a fair and effective
employers’ liability act; and a law
that we can stand by in this matter
will be no less to the advantage of
those who administer the railroads of
the country than to the advantage of
those whom they employ. The experi
ence of a large number of the states
abundantly proves that.
We ought to devote ourselves to ■
meeting pressing demands of plain
justice like this as earnestly as to
the accomplishment of political and
economic reforms. Social justice
comes first. Law is the machinery for
its realization and is vital only as it
expresses and embodies it.

“Yes,” replied the fortunate youth.

ing. I don’t want to be accused of
vulgar display.’’—-Stray Stories.
RINGWORM ITCHED TERRIBLY
1545 Alsqulth St., Baltimore, Md. —
"My children were afflicted with what
they called ringworm of the scalp
contracted from a house-cat they were
playing with. The ringworm formed
on their scalps about the size of a
silver dollar and their hair fell out,
leaving a round scale or crust on their
' scalps. Their hair fell out in round
spots. There was terrible itching, and
; they scratched till the blood came.
They were very fretful and could not
i sleep at night, and they were very
cross.
“They were treated for several
months with no improvement whatso
ever. I was told they would never
have any hair and would always be
bald. Then I began using Cuticura
Soap in connection with Cuticura
Ointment and the first week I could
see the wonderful remedies were do
ing all they were claimed to do and in
six weeks’ time they were entirely
, cifred. They all have a beautiful
growth of hair.” (Signed) Mrs. Sadie

WIFE WON
Husband Finally Convinced.
Some people are wise enough to try
new foods and beverages and then
generous enough to give others the
benefit of their experience. A wife
writes:
“No slave in chains, it seemed to
me, was more helpless than I, a coffee
captive. Yet there were innumerable
I warnings—waking from a troubled
i sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at
times dizzy and out of breath, attacks
j of palpitation of the heart that fright
ened me.
(Tea is just as injurious as coffee
because it contains caffeine, the same
drug found in coffee.)
“At last my nervous system was sc
disarranged that my physician ordered
‘no more coffee.’ I capitulated.
“Determined to give Postum a fair
trial, I prepared it according to direc
tions on the pkg., obtaining a dark
brown liquid with a rich snappy Ca
, vour similar to coffee. When cream
and sugar were added, it w r as not only
good but delicious.
“Noting its beneficial effects in me
the rest of the family adopted it —all
except my husband, who would not ad
mit that coffee hurt him. Several
weeks elapsed during which I drank
Postum two or three times a day,
j when, to my surprise, my husband
j said: T have decided to drink Postum.
Your improvement is so apparent —
you have such fine color —that I pro
pose to give credit where credit is
due.’ And now we are coffee-slaves no
longer.”

Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum —must be boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
