is fréely admitted by those acquaint-

are good for the speedy recovery of
business in this formerly lively min-
ing town. Operators have been prac-
tically resumed at -Mine Nos. 1, 2. 4.

President Wilson told 10,000 per-

delphia that America has arrived at
a crisis where we “should be ready in
every point of policy and of action to
vindicate at whatever cost the princi:
ples of tiverty, of justice and of hu:
manity te which we have been devot-

He defined what he termed his “per
sonal code of governmental prineiples”
and declared that he is ready to fight
for that code “no matter what the
cost.” \
“America is at a poffit,” he said,
“where it is more than ever necessary
that she should understand her own
ideals not only but be ready to put
them into action at any cost.”
He made no direct reference to the
Mexican situation.
“America is at a point,” said the
president, “where it is more than ever
necessary that she should understand
her own ideals not only but be ready
to put them into action at any cost.
“It is one thing to entertain fine
principles and another thing to make
them work.
“I am not interested, and I beg that
you will believe mc when I say that I
never have been interested, in fighting
for myself, but I am immensely inter-
ested in fighting for the things that 1
do believé in.
“In the first place I believe, and 1
summon you to show you believe in
the same thing, that it is the duty of
every American in everything that he
does, in his business and out ef it, to
think first not of himself nor of any
interest which he may be called upon
to sacrifice, but of the country which
he serves. America first means noth-
