to his character he is by no means re-
sponsible for the deterioration of the re-
lationships of Germany and England.

LONDON, June PROF W. A. Bone

very important industrial effects. Prof.
Bone is, one of the greatest living au-

The new process has been put into
practical operation in Leeds. Hot sur

This Gravenstaden affairs caused much
stir in political circles throughout the en-

the kaiser had in his mind if he used
the extraordinary expressions attributed
to him.

According to trustworthy reports. the

OF these 5000 are In the neighborhood Of
Ipek and Diakova, 5000 at Zebra and 1900
in the valley of the Save, near the Serv-
ian frontier. Great alarm is felt in the
Servian villages, and the government has
therefore been asked to reinforce the
troops on the frontier or arm the villag-
ers. in view of the possibility of an Al
bantam raid.
The latest reports say that the COM
mander of the garrison at Uskub has left
today for Ipek with two squadrons, some

THE PEOPLES CHOICE.

Richmond Va Times Dispatch:
Woodrow Wilson will be the next
president of these United States. He
will be democrat He will be chosen
by the once despised, but now power
full, plain people.
He will be free from all obligation
to corrupt bosses or "big business"
He will reassert the principle and re-
establish the practice of popular gov
ernment. He will serve the taxpayer
and not the tax-gatherer. He will ad-
minister the laws with justice for all
and special privilege for none. He will
incarnate the idea upon which this
government is founded and strike
down the selfish and corrupt practices
which have sprung from special privi'
lege. He will liberalize government
and open the doors of equal oppOr
tunity to all men. He will revive and
renew the hopes and expectations OF
an earlier age by bringing to their
support experience in administration
wisdom of choice and force in action
All this and more Woodrow Wilson
will do, because he is the embodiment
the outward and visible sign, the tan
gible and real proof of the power Of
an awakened and earnest citizenship
For 20 years the democratic party
had wandered in the wilderness o
doubtful experiments and disappointed
hopes, but it's journey has been eve

abuses, Kissing and defeat to break
the last fetter that bound democracy.
His methods were rough. His tone
was arrogant. His actions were re.
buked, but democracy is free-free to
go on untrammelled by any pre-elec.
ton promises to selfish interests, free
to serve the plain people, free to main
tain equality for all and destroy
special privileges for the few.
The Times-Dispatch has seldom had
cause to praise Mr.. Bryan, although it
supported him as the democratic can
didate in 1908, but on this occasion we
give him full commendation. His mo-
tives are unknown to us. He may
have been as cunning as Machiavelli
and as ambitious as Lucifer, but he
was brave; he dared to put his for
tune to the touch; he carried his
point, and, in carrying it, made pos
sible the nomination of Wilson.
That nomination opens new and
wonderful vistas of opportunity to the
democratic party. The call of the new
age comes with various voices to
many men. Before us lie the great
problems of governmental administra-
ton and service, and all around us
await possibilities of enriching the
lives OF the citizens of this country.
We mean all the citizens, not merely
the bounty-fed, tariff-protected, pen.
sion-grafting citizens, but all men,
everywhere, of all sorts and condi.
tions, in all walks of life.
That is the hope that in it's many
phases animates the hearts of true
democrats. That is the bond of sym
pathy that should compose all differ.
ences, heal all breaches, remove all
bitterness, and unite the whole body
of democracy anew, in the splendid
crusade for freedom for all before the
law.
For that purpose the Times-Dis-
patch pledges itself once more It
will stand steadfast for the new vision
and the new hope. 1t believes in the
service the democratic party can ren.
der this country and the world. 1t
believes in this patriot who left the
peaceful cloisters of university to
lead the people in their harsh and
bitter struggle upward 1t believes
he will protect us against the sullen
selfishness of discontented anarchy
on the one hand, and on the other
against the crushing and cruel power
of unbounded wealth. 1t sees again
across the horizon Of the American
nation the rainbow Of it's cherished
hopes. The people have yearned for
a leader, and a leader has been given
them.
The Times-Dispatch believes that
the glory of this victory is not only
because Woodrow Wilson is what he
is, but because prayerfully stumbling
disheartened, but eternally patient
and determined, the divinity that is
alone the hope of men has at last won
to true and noble expression of its
own high destiny. The old tradition
is not dead; liberty and fraternity are
not forgotten things; the people still
rule, and once more vindicated de
mocracy will take up it's ancient task
of bringing light into darkness, cour
| age into weary hearts, and peace and
happiness and faith into the lives OF
| all the people.

a ride through the Judith Basin
these days is one of constant inspira-
ton. On every side are vast fields of
grain which hold the promise of a
splendid harvest. The season has not
been all that it might have been in
some particulars, but the rich soil Of
this wonderful country does not wait
upon the season. On every side are
seen evidences of better farming.
Some are trying to till too much, but
that is an error which time will rec
tify. The day will come when there
will be family on every quarter or
half section. Then, with intensified.
diversified farming, the Judith Basin
will really begin to show it's immeasur.

that the republican party is really

He AYERS that Taft got the nomina-

cannot, in justice, be claimed as the
property of the thief. Going further
the California solon, who is a pro-
gressive republican, says that the
nomination of Roosevelt on a third

situation. Very sensibly, Senator
Works advises all progressive repub

the manner of Taft's nomination by
voting the democratic ticket.
