recovered from the illness which kept her

to that well known remedy, DR.. Williams

Mrs Weaver is fifty-six years old, and
has lived in Bushnell nearly thirty years.
Sheis Of unquestionedv eracity and unblem-

The Position of Organizer.

Though the matter was made plain
as possible in the narrow confines OF
an official circular, there is misappre-
hension regarding the nomination and
election of organizer, some unions
nominating district organizers. A ref
erence to the law will demonstrate
there is no warrant for such proceed
ing. IAN organizer" is the term used
An explanation. of how 1t happens that
such an official is named and no sal
airy provided for or duties defined may
not be amiss. At the Colorado Springs
session of the International the presi-
dent presented amendment to the con-
stitution comprehending the election
Of officers by popular vote, the aboli-
ton of district organizers, and the cleo
ton of one or more to the Office of gen.
eral organizer. The convention reject
ed the proposal relative to organizers,
but adopted that requiring referendum
elections, and in doing so overlooked
the fact that the amendment was draft
ed on the assumption that organizers

full sense of the term. This over
sight leaves us in the position OF Sc
lecting an officer for whom there are
no duties, and allow sixteen district or
ganizers to serve until their sue
cessors are elected" and there Is at
present no law calling for such an
election. Galesburg union has now
pending a proposition (sufficiently sup
ported for submission Of the refer
endum, giving effect to the presidents
views, except that it contemplates the
appointment Of general organizers
rather than their election. II No.
l8S's effort meets with approval, 1t is
almost certain the appointing power
would not have the temerity to disre-
gard the recommendation of the mem
bers, as expressed in the election of
organizer. 1t may be the selection of
IAN organizer" by popular vote will
not be an empty honor, inasmuch as it
is within the power of the membership

1t is a great physical disadvantage
of the president Of the United States
that his home and his Office are in the
same building. Ex-President Harrison
has pointed out how much good it
would do the chief executive if he had
to walk to his work every day like
other men. Even if he rode he would
draw breath of fresh air daily. Viewed
from this standpoint of hygiene 1t is
barbarity that congress does not have
an office building erected for the presi-
dent some distance from the official
residence.

While it is not to be supposed that
Great. Britain is going to offer to spend
of its substance in helping the United
States fight its war there is no doubt
that Great Britain more and more ap-
Ipreciates the fact as the years roll by
that it is well for it to be on good
terms with the United States, and that
it can place more dependence upon the
friendship of the latter than upon the
friendship of any other nation. But just
SO long as England is the center of the
money power this country will look
upon its overtures with suspicion. In
other words, England is not England
at all. 1t is controlled, owned and
operated by the great octopus which
seeks empire over all the world. To
talk of an alliance with such a power
is worse than treason.

Probably the child-wlfe of Cassius M
Clay Is greatly shocked at the determ-
ination of the old man to get divorce.
She is perverse and tickle and has dis
graced him in many ways; but that he
should want to get rid of her is an
affront to her self-pride and her I'M
conscious ignorance. Perhaps, howev-
er, the old man thinks that his threat
OF divorce is the only means to get her
to live with him, for the two are a
pair in all essentials.

The American is not entranced with
the idea Of soldering. He has been
described as warlike, but not military
He will fight on occasion, but he never
thinks of war as condition or occu-
patton or the army as profession. He
becomes a soldier when he deems it a
necessity and quits when he is no
longer needed. The "pomp and cir
cumstance of war" is not attractive to
Americans, and especially when it is
kept up in time of peace. They are
not unpatriotic nor cowardly nor ham
pered with conscientious scruples.
They simply do not care about bearing
arms till the time comes.

"D0C" LEVI WILSON.
Widely Known Man Returns to
Uxbridge.
Is Now Manager of Machine Works at
Newark, N. J.-Thousands Have Been
Mystifed by Him.

Uxbridge, Feb. 19.-Levi WILSON,
"Moen, familiarly known as doc Will
son." who has done so much for Tx
bridge, is in town for brief visit. He
is here to again see the town and meet
few of his old friends. He was inter
viewed by the Spy man, and said he
was highly pleased at the progress that
Uxbridge has made during the last de-
cade. He is also pleased at the aboli-
ton of the grade crossing and the build
ing of the passenger station. DOC"
Wilson looks familiar to all who former
ly knew him, although much older in
appearance AT present his home is in
Newark, N. J. He is at present vice
president and general manager Of the
lngot machine works, and has large in
terests in several large corporations.
Several years ago there was perhaps
no man in New England who attracted
more widespread attention than DOC"
Wilson. After years Of service about
livery stable, in which he became quite
proficient as a veterinary surgeon, dur
ing which time he acquired the name
Doc" he suddenly appeared in town,
apparently rolling in wealth. Checks
for almost a fabulous amount, drawn
by the late p, w. Moen of Worcester,
We're presented by him at local banks,
and hcnored. He set up a fine estab-
lishment, drove the finest teams of any
man for miles around, and erected many
buildings which now are an honor to the
town of UXbridge Among his works
here are many fine cottage houses at
North UXbridge, the Hotel Windsor and
other buildings In Uxbridge town. He
was at one time largely interested in
the big mill at Baskerville, and indeed
he was instrumental in building that
fine cotton plant
1t will be remembered that doc" Will
son figured in a court case in which
Mr.. Moen was defendant, that occupied
widespread attention. He now calls
himself Levi Wilson Moen, and it seems
queer to hear him addressed as Mr..
Moen by those who years ago were on
familiar terms with him, and called him
plain doc" Wilson.
AN INTERESTING CASE.
The case of Samuel Cole Of Whitins-
vile VS.. Taft Bros. of Uxbridge was
heard at the district court Saturday by
Judge Putnam Francis P. Brady for
the plaintiff and William J. Taft, of the
firm of Dodge & Taft, for defendants
The case was one of tort brought to re-
cover damages alleged to have been
caused to the plaintiffs wagon by the
defendants wagon. For the plaintiff the
most important witnesses were James
McGinnis and a boy named Place Nc
Ginnis was in Coles wagon at the time
of the accident; Place was ON a load Of
cornstalks near by. The testimony Of
McGinnis and Place was strongly re-
butted by Mrs. Stanton, who was the
most important witness in the case
Mrs. Stanton proved to be a most ex-
cellent witness, and not only was she
highly complimented by the defendants
counsel, but by the court for her ap-
pearance as a witness. After the testi-
mony was all in Mr.. Taft made strong
argument for the defendants Mr.. Brady
also made a strong plea for the plaintiff.
After summing up the testimony, the
court found for the defendants. The
plaintiff appealed.
