ment offered by Mr.. Neal, of Columbus,
changing the proposed date of the pri-
mary from May / TO May 10. Mr.. Neal
argued for his amendment. 1t was re-
jected without a second, after some de-
bate, and the StoVall resolution was
adopted as it stood without further OBJ
lection.

He Exposes Underhanded e.
fort Made by Enemies to
DiStort Them

MADISON, Wis, March 12.-Gov. Wood
row Wilson'S attitude on the subject of
the immigration of Italians, Hungarians
and Poles is stated in letter to John
A Awkward. of this city, made public
last night The letter was evoked by
published attacks based on questions
from Governor Wilson's historical writ
ngs.
"He must be very ignorant man
who does not know" says the governor,
"the distinction attaching to the history
Of the great Italian people and of the
Hungarian and Polish nations which
through so many generations have made
a gallant struggle to maintain the rights
of man, and who have in the process de-
veloped so many qualities that entitle
them to profound respect of the world.
/ have never for a moment regretted
that our great composite nation was
enriched by the blood of these people.
"All that 7 commented upon was the
undoubted fact that during the years
of which l speak some of the baser ele-
ments out of these acknowledgements such
as might have come out of any of the
nations of the world-had been brought
in undesirable numbers into our ports
to the embarrassment of their former
compatriots as well as to the detriment
Of some of the communities into which
they went.
CLEARLY the class 10 which I referred
in my history is not the intelligent lib
erty-loving class which came of its own
volition. seeking a home and land of
freedom. 1 referred to the class of la
borers which was brought here under
pauper labor contracts by some of the
great protected industries. During the
time mentioned the peoples referred to
happened to be the ones drafted upon.
This vicious practice became so offensive
and dangerous that congress, yielding to
strong demand from the laboring classes,
which includes Hungarians, Italians and
Poles alike, passed. a stringent law
against the abuse.
Il am sure that tbe leaders of the
Polish, Italian and Hungarian citizens
of this country viii be the first to realize
the malicious injustice which has been
done me by putting my views in any
other light

Denman Thompson, the venerable
actor, is dead. The end came after a
winters illness. Life went out just as
the trees Of his New Hampshire farm,
up in the hills of West Swanzey, were
beginning to put out the first green
shoots Of spring, the season he most
loved.
Denman Thompson was not great
actor, but he was good man, and his
simple nature was reflected in the part
he SO many years played.
He served the stage well, but he
served his fellow-man much better.
His part in life was finely played.
Through the influence Of his one play,
he saved many souls from sinking.
There may be others to take his place,
but none can appeal through sincere
simplicity like Denman Thompson did.
1t was this very simplicity which made
his play, The Old Homestead, the
great success il was.
II exhaIed the breath Of the New
Hampshire hills. There was all the
sweet atmosphere Of the country in it,
The minute the curtain was raised the
audience forgot all the worries Of life
They lived with the venerable old man
on his farm, they inhaled the perfume
Of the new-mown hay, they heard the
tinkle Of the cowbells, they felt the
freshness OF fiower-scented air. II was
homely, but SO true that the play went
home
Denman Thompson was an actor OF
the homespun sort. It was never in
tended that he should achieve greatness.
In bis early days he might have been
ambitious. He did appear with Char
lotte Cushman once in Macbeth, " but
it is not recorded that his appearance
created any particular comment.
Writing a sketch called Joshua
Whitcombe, he touched the right note.
So great was the success Of the sketch
that it was elaborated into a play. The
title role was preserved 10 The Old
Homestead, Z" and Thompson played it
up to the last winter Of his peaceful
life.
He did not act He merely present
ed himself He was true to nature,
because there was nothing artificial in
the play. The rural simplicity Of the
boy, who was reared on farm, never
left him. On and off the stage he was
the same. His genial help TO those
about him, his words Of cheer and en-
enlargement have smoothed the way
for more than one aspiring player. The
homely lesson Of the play, the search
OF the father for his recreant son, has
had its effect On The present generation
and has been the unconscious means Of
saving many other recreant sons.
The loss Of Denman Thompson 70 the
stage will be keenly felt Commercial

Now sweet and clear, now faint and low,
The airy tinklings come and go,
Like ehinaings from the iar-off tower,
Or gatherings Of an April shower
That makes the daisies grow;
Ko-ling, ko-lang, kolingIelingle,
Far down the darkening dingle,
The cows come slowly home,
And old-time friends, and twilight plays,
And starry nights and sunny days,
Come trooping up the misty ways
When the cows come home,
With jingle, iangle, jingle,
Soft tones that sweetly mingle--
The COWS are coming home.

And baby-joys and childish fears,
And youthful hopes and youthful tears,

And the summer sun a-shining down,
And the maple in the hazel glade
Throws down the path longer shade,
And the hills are growing brown;

The COWS come slowly home.
And over there on Merlin Hill,

And the dewdrops lie on the tangled

And over the poplars Venus shines,
And over the silent mill.

England. OF at any rate London, has
dubbed George Y. the middle-cIass
king. This designation is meant to
be complimentary. The kings ways
are democratic and his interests pre-
saie." He invites plain people" to
dinner; he takes an interest in housing
and town planning, particularly inQuir-
ing into the accommodations planned
for the poorest OF the inhabitants; he
has visited the postofice and watched
the clerks and carriers at their routine
Sports and display have little attraction
for him, and aristocracy fears that he
unduIy insists on respectability'' and
bourgeois morality" His libel suit
to establish the falsity Of the bigamy
charge that had been peddled against
him for many years was striking illus
tration Of his regard for the opinion Of
average humanity" To the royal
suPerman" such a charge would have
mattered little.
1t will be recalled that at the time Of
the kings accession many Of the pro-
gressives gloomily talked about his
TORY affiliations and Tory sympa-
thies. " 1t was even said that he would
side with the peers in their struggle to
maintain their political privileges in
spite Of advancing democracy and ur-
gent constitutional changes. These fears
and doubts appear to have been dis
PEELED. A middle-class king is OK
actly the kind of king Great Britain
needs to-day. Such king will not
stand in the way of reforms decreed by
the people. Such a king will act CON
stitutionalIy'' and give no encourage
ment to the Bourbons in the upper
house. Chicago Record Herald.
