A quotation attributed to Woodrow Wilson emphasizes that the flag represents the rights of political liberty and free self-government. It asserts that regardless of place, race, or antecedents, these American traditions should not be forgotten.
A Wyoming comment argues Gov. John B Kendrick is the likely Democratic nominee for the U S Senate. The Kemmerer Camera cites federal rather than state rules, noting Kendrick’s long record and broad support, while critics claim constitutional hurdles. Editorials compare to prior governors and warn of Republican attempts to block Kendrick.
Mr Hughes adjusted his itinerary after learning the president would speak in Nashville Tennessee on the same day. The chance of a killing frost in Nashville that night for the G P likely did not influence his decision.
The piece argues President Wilson should mediate between rail workers and railroads to avoid an industrial war. It supports the eight hour day and overtime pay at that rate, noting the Wilson compromise foregoes double overtime and urges railroad leaders and stockholders to back the plan to prevent a nationwide strike.
The article likens current Allied offensives to the Serbian steamroller in the Balkans, with Russia and Italy pressing from the north and west. It contrasts Allied and Central Powers tactics, noting observers split over which side understands the strategy better.
The passage notes French aviators aiming to devastate crops behind German lines risking French peasants. It adds German flyers over England targeting factories and supply depots, killing women and children. It argues these actions contrast with President Wilson's words guiding U.S. policy.
The Republicans express horror at the lack of senatorial and congressional candidates before Democratic primaries fearing Democrats will nominate the people the public desires.
The passage mocks partisans who opposed Wilson’s rhetoric in the Germany dispute and suggests they now demand action in the railroad dispute. It argues for concrete deeds from train men rather than further verbal controversy.
Observers note Mr. Carranza appears to have learned lessons and Villa’s followers are behaving. No raids have occurred in several weeks, signaling reduced violence and calmer regional tensions.
The text recalls Mr Hughes abstaining during the suffrage debate while not a candidate, and reports doctors in New York linking protection against infantile paralysis to the weekly bath as an argument against it.
A long analysis traces the origin of the Russo Japanese alliance to the Portsmouth treaty ending the Russo Japanese War. It notes 1907 and 1910 accords on spheres of influence, neutralization questions over Manchuria, and debates in American and Japanese press about naval arms and political aims.
The Rocky Mountain News notes June 1916 postal savings deposits rose by 5.8 million compared with June last year, cited as a sign of improving conditions for wage earners. It warns prosperity rests on an insecure base and could be erased by peace or other shocks.
Canadian recruitment falls short as enlistments, deaths, and captures slow.
