v Two bright star points shine out as a result of President Wilson's ;trip ;
to Mobile —one to all the world ?and < one shining particularly for the benefit of
the people of the United States. .;;V:;;. ;^g.f v^ox :£&£*;•£ I
The first, flashing with sharp news, was t properly given ; great ♦ promin
ence in the newspaper dispatches. This related to the president's speech on
the United States' future attitude in respect to sister nations in this hemi
sphere. *'x " . _, .
feSThe other point carried big news also. It related to the very important ;
subject of farm credits, upon which President Wilson REFUSED to commit
himself in favor of Wall street's plan. But the reporters of Mobile didn't
'$ see it. ■■■:■■: \r : ■?**■<■<--I /■<--. ■ .■,-•..■•;.■-■,■.■■.•.-, ..•>:-, ,• . „ . ;V^.. ,• .
... I think it will do no harm for me to briefly summarize for you what the
president said at the convention of the Southern ' Commercial Congress on
Mexican intervention and \ the \ relations of the United States to the Latin-
American republics. r ■'■-■„:'- a-^;;;^ ;'^:. i--:'-^ ■■--■:: :' ". . ;;/ ■ ;:Vi
"There shall be no armed intervention in Mexico and no use of the army
and navy looking to the acquisition of territory," was the first half of his
message. ;'- l?:w.-iy,;.:; :;:: -,^:':.:;^J:^■■:.■'■ ■■•- >•':',../..->V'.;,;,,.' ; vv ' ; -\ <.',',:' '- ■■
"Constitutional governments and not dictatorship will receive the recog
nition and moral support of the United States whether in Mexico, Central or
South America." .■■•;..-. ,:' ■■' »^::^, l \-\ :. ,;5 ;' '; -r ? ■;. :■ - ■-.;;•■;:•
The keynote of bis speech, one of the most significant of all his public ut
terances, was this paragraph: ; :,■.■■:■ -;■:,.■-.'l', : ;{;.V;," :-;-.". \^ -. -_, .
"I should rather be a ! citizen of a poor country that is free than of a ricn
nation which is no longer in love with liberty." '
The next most important message ways that to the small Central Ameri
can republics on the subject of concessions and loans, In plain terms he told
these countries that the government at Washington would not follow the dol
lar diplomacy of the Taft administration, which drove hard bargains in con
cessions, and after demanding extortionate interest on loans "because the
risk was great," proceeded to take steps to insure that the risk should not be
|great?:;^*'';i-■ ■■; ''■' .-.yr'.'.-'•;. ■'--' ■ ;''•■•' '■■ - ''„.- #
; / To this message the four ministers from Central American republics, sit
ting on the platform, listened with undisguised amazement. It was a politi
ycal gospel they s have not heard before. *; "v f * y;;:
President Wilson's speech was a great surprise, but the surprise was
'- greater :to nobody than to Senator Duncan W. Fletcher of Florida, president
of the Southern Commercial Congress. Next to him came Clarence J. Owens,
secretary and moving spirit of the Southern Commercial Congress. v
[f Both . these men. had \ told the local press that "rural credits "would be
the theme of the president's address. Rural credits is the fit project of the
Southern Commercial • Congress. It was desired to have President Wilson's
f endorsement of the particular plan for • rural credits legislation fathered by
Owens and Fletcher. ;-!:r . .'''.'' :.
The senator and his friend have a scheme for rural credits which is highly
■••; approved by certain Wall street bankers. It is not the farmers' co-operative
plan of the German/land schaften. In that plan Wall street would not share.
The I farmers would do ' their own T banking and keep the profits in their own
hands. » - ■„.•- - - ,-;_< ... .'. :^.^i:'; --
or^The* Owens-Fletcher plan provides for the incorporation; of rural banks
and the tapping of the farmers 'nwney chest with a view of draining the
money " into the ; big streams which lead to Wall street and speculation.
Whatever President Wilson may think on the subject of rural credits he
did not play into the hand of the managers of the Southern Commercial Con
gress. In this instance he permitted himself to be made a drawing feature of
v the congress, but he did so because he had a message for the people of North
and S^uth^America,^^^^^^^ 1' ' -' . ,\-
Horse Play at Weddings
?f iQM'Aji wedding is naturally an occasion of joy. At least when it's the right
kind of wedding—the deliberate mating of two loving souls, not an impulsive
leap in the dark. s: v _ ; y
For it means the setting up of the most valuable institution there is — a
human family. It means that two persons who have received i from society
life and care are joining to return the compliment. They may not wed ; with
this purpose fully understood, for youth is impetuous and has much to learn.
But the marriage of which the wedding is a public ceremonial does not truly
become a marriage until it blossoms into young lives added to the bouquet of
the race; and until it has, through infinite sacrifice and patient care,
brought these young lives through to strong maturity and social usefulness.
."->/_, To set forth upon ' such a task is properly a joyous ; undertaking. But it
isn't ? a cheap one or one for coarse celebration. The , clumsy ; clowning; by
which it is often attended is spared from v utter censure because of its kindly
intent. Yet it ought to be laid aside along with similar crudities of pioneer
days. For it lowers a function which should be held in the highest reverence.
: Our manners in this respect are undoubtedly improving. The time \ once
was when a couple \ couldn't hope to get through the nuptial night without a
din or noises, tipsy songs and broad jests. To this day the charivari survives
in many places, with its motley medly of tin horns and horse fiddles; a method
of commemoration more suggestive of savages than of residents within the area
of civilization. :-
Today the fun is finer, but still often far fetched. / ■\'^>
Perhaps, if we could tone up the manner in which weddings are commem
orated, it might help to tone up the subsequent behavior of the wedded and
reduce the growing recourse to divorce. yx ;'•■;;'.-; >/•- -''/'■
