Just when things are quieting down on the Al ex lean, border, the Colonel announces his intention of going there to speak: With him on one side of the line and the Colonel on the other, the border is in for some more seething.

Peacemaker of the Nations
PRESIDENT WILSON'S trip to Omaha has been a triumphal procession. At each station where his train stopped cheering through have greeted him. They fought to shake his hand and declaimed promises of support. That the Middle West approves the policies which have given the country peace with honor, prosperity with preparedness, has been shown in the outpouring of the people.

Every hamlet, town and city on the way. And why not? The Middle West is the melting pot of many nationalities, but it is the home, nevertheless, of a virile and aggressive Americanism. It is the home also of a political altruism. The language in which the President speaks, the terms he employs, which excite the derision of selfish and reactionary elements in the East, are not novelties to Wisconsin and Nebraska. Men are understood when he says America must be "maintaining rights of property of national ambition, but for the rights of mankind." It is their own view of national aspiration and national destiny.
