Wilson's Tour an Ovation,

Governor Wilson is making splendid
strides in the west. He has spoken
before immense audiences in Kansas
and Missouri and is greeted every
where with a heartiness and enthusi.
assn that speak well for the Democrats
lie cause In this debatable field. Ii tho
reception accorded the Democratic can
didHte and the evident friendliness ct
the voters count for anything as a fore
cast they show that with a party divid-
ed against him his capture of the great
Republican states is already assured.
We are not given to forecasts as con-
elusive in sporadic straw votes manip-
ulated to suit partisan zeal. but we do
place reliance on the %outpouring of the
people and the extraordinary spectacle
Of a Democratic candidate making tr-
umphant progress in the great Repub-
lican strongholds of the west. Whfho
the west Is an unknown factor In tho
coming election. 1t h fair to predic4
that the Democratic vote uiil be polie0
in its entirety and that Governor W.
son will receive many aecessions frome
Republican rnnks. His great tour 4
the western centers Is a continued
ovation and as such ia one OF the
structive features OF the campai0

PREACH ON The
%UNSPEAKABLE TURK

"The Unspeakable Turk" has lost
his power in Europe. There shall
be wars and rumors of wars-but the
end is not yet-this is the begin
ming" a y the Scripture. Four Bal
kan kings, Ferdinand, George, Mic
holas and Peter have gone against
the Sultan and pressed him where ne
must sue for peace or for the protec-
ton of the powers. The two-days
battle of Luli-Burgas may now be
recorded many the great decisive
battle of the world. Greasy ended
his Fifteen Decisive Battles" with
Waterloo. Since then in the minds OF
many Gettysburg and Port Arthur
have been added. Now Lule-Burgas
belongs to the list. The Balkan al
lies have swept all before them.
Adrainople has been surrounded the
opposing armies, 400, 900 in all, have
mased half way between Adrainople
and Constantinople and now the lat
ter city only fifty miles away is IN
imminent peril.
This has been a long conflict be-
tween Mohammedan and Christian civ
ilization, the battle of tours C732)
SdFtu IL ulDpt i l. lOlohls Nhob"
tinople fell to the Turks in the year
1453, and southeastern Europe has
been made the Mohammedan shadow
these centuries, now the massacre of
Christians in Europe by the Turks
seems to be ended forever.
The jealousy of the powers, the
care for the "ba1ance of power" has
many times saved the Turkish en-
pire from destruction. England,
contrary to the hearts of the Eng
lish people, has often aided with
Turkey because of the fear OF Rus
sian advance. But the alignment OF
powers is different now, Russia and
England are more friendly, they
fear other movements more than
they fear each other, and there is no
power sufficient to make the Balkan
allies yield the advantages they have
gained. Turkish power in Europe is
at an end. There will be no more
Bulgarian Macedonian m~assacres.
''This is the beginning" says the
Scripture. Yes, the war stage or
civilization is the crude, first stage OF
the travel that in the end is to bring
forth the Kingdom of God on earth.

EMBROIDERY AT HOME
Simple Matter When One Hat Learn
Cd just the Proper Method 70
Go About II.

Apropos of embroidery, iaee-mak-
ing and fine ~needlework, 1t is well to
know how to clean articles of this
kind, without having to send them to
a professional cleaner.
II you will wash all your fine en-
b~roideries yourself by the following
method, not trusting them to the hired
raid or washerwoman, you will, no
doubt, have splendid results.
Put a half pint of bran into the
same amount of cold water and let 1t
come to a boil slowly. After 1t has
boiled twenty minutes, strain off the
bran water and add a pint Of boiling
water. Use this mixture instead OF
soap when washing fancy work, fine
embroideries and laces for the first
time. Be careful not to rub, wiring or
twist them, but just squeeze them
gently with the hands after the first
washing in this manner Soap jelly
made by dissolving a pure white SOAP
in boiling water may be used.
A little salt added to the rinse wa.
ter, which should be clean and mod
erately hot, will set the color In en-
broidery silks and oottons, II there is
any fear of them running. 1t Is best
to immerse colored embroideries in
strong salt water before they are
washed at all; then there will be no
danger of the colors running.
Fancy work should be dried as
quickly as possible and ironed on the
wrong side, first spreading the work
over a folded blanket covered with q
clean muslin, so that when 1t Is froned
the embroidery win stand out in bold
relief, each stitch showing up as II 1t
were new.
Frinsed edges must be shaken ont
thoroughly while they are quite damp
and never touched with the Iron or
they will become matted and unsightly
In q short time.
When ironing lace, fold a Turkish
towel, lay the lace right side down ON
the towel and press with a warm iron
on the wrong side. This will allow
the small outstanding threads on the
towel to push through the mesh of the
lace and make 1t look like new.
Never starch lace; iron 1t before 1t
has become entirely dry.

STORY ABOUT
WHITE HOUSE
What Goes on Thsre--H How
Taft Talks.

or course everybody knows that
in the presidential election next
Tuesday there will be several candi-
dates for President. But how many
people know that there will be near
ly seven hundred thousand other
candidates on the ballots of the coun-
try on that fateful Tuesday after the
first Monday of November, 1912?
Yet such is the case, as may be
learned from reading the chapter on
the Presidency, in the new book,
"The American Government" by
Frederic J. Haskin. Mr.. Haskin also
tells about President Taft as a
speechmaker, and how his steno-
grapher takes down every word he
utters and afterwards transcribes his
notes. Already Mr.. Taft has had
this st~enographer transcribe nearly
ten thousand pages of type written
matter. The chapter on the Presi-
dency Is a chatty sort of story that
gives you a glimpse of the office and
the man. 1t takes you along with
the White House steward to market,
it gives you a peep at the decorations
for a State dinner, it allows you to
lulHBle Will Vic WhitS IIcuoO L .
and lets you help sort the Presidents
mail. Before the book was publish
ed President Taft read this chapter
and pronounced it interesting and
accurate.
The Evening NEWS feels that it
is doing its readers a great service
by securing this book for them at
cost. 1t is the sort Of book that
usually sellsSfor two dollars, but all
it takes to get 1t Is fifty cents and
six coupons. Act quickly as the sup
ply is going fast. ,

cry viewpoint. Representatives Of

sonable privilege and a telephone on
the grounds will accommodate repor-
tiers wishing to telephone their sto-
ries.
Charles Lee Calder, a resident of
Great Kills, Staten Island, who
claims to have been a sharpshooter
in his day, was much amused at the
failure of Marksmen Dillon Hoffman
of the Stevens Institute, to puncture
balloons from the aeroplane of Har-
ry Bingham Brown at the Aeronaut-
ical Society's aviation meet Column
bus day at the lakewood Heights
field.
Hearing that there Is to be an
other meet there on election day,
Calder has issued a challenge to
Hoffman to meet him in a balloon
shooting match for stakes of $4,000.
Hoffman Tuesday accepted the
challenge, and secured Aviator
Brown to again pilot him. Calder
has retained Aviator George w.
Beatty for the same service.
The two marksmen will shoot at
balloons first from the ground and
then from the aeroplanes. Each is
confident of Victory.
81 may he a has been says Calder,
but If Hoffman can't shoot any bet
ter than he did Columbus day, l
guess l won't have to do much prac-
ticing to beat him
Il never heard OF this Calder be-
fore" says Haffmon, but he's got
to be more than a has been to stand
any show against me-"

been practically completed for the
annual dinner and convention of the
Monmouth County Young Mems
Christian Association, which will
place at 6.3e Wednesday evening,
November 6, in the lecture room of
the M. E. church, Matawan. 1t will
not be a formal dinner, as business
dress will prevail. Any man inter-
ested in the work of the organiza-
ton will be welcome to attend. Any
one desiring to be present should

tional committee, located in New
York, senior secretary of the county
work department, which is leading
the rural Y. M. c. A. work in the
United States, will be the chief
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Roberts
has already attained a national repu-
tation as a speaker, not only in elo-
uuent expression but in thought and
knowledge on the problems facing
all organizations that are working
for the betterment of life in the
small towns and open country. John
T. Sproull, president of the Coal and
Iron National bank of New York.
will speak from the point of view
of the man in big financial interests.
The county committee OF the
Young Mems Christian Associations
of Monmouth county has secured a
Ford runabout for use in supervising
and promoting its work throughout
the county. The lack 'of travelling
facilities in the past several years
has been one of the greatest detri-
ments to the work.
The county committee expresses
through the papers of the county its
appreciation of the support that has
been given to this enterprise by
those who have generously eontrl-
buted during the past several years.
The next twelve months, 1t Is be-
lieved, will show an advancement in
this important work for the boys
of Monmouth county that will be be-
yond all achievements in the past.

GIRL BOUND
AND GAGGED
Elizabeth Preacher Attacked
by Two Men in Her Home

Bound and gagged by two I'M
known men who entered the home
of John Preacher, 156 William
street, ~Tottenville, about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, Miss Elizabeth
Preacher, nineteen years old, daugh-
ter of Mr.. Preacher, was found in
that manner by her sister, Agnes
Preacher, twelve years old, on her
return home from school. After
much difficulty Agnes freed her sis
ter from the bonds and when Eliza
beth was released she te~lephoned to
her father. Miss Preacher, still in q
nervous state last night, gave her
experience when seen by a NEWS
representative. She said about 4
O'Clock W. men, about thirty years
old, came to the kitchen door of her
home and inquired if Mrs. Preacher
resided there.
When told that she did and that
her mother, Mrs. Preacher, was in
the hospital, one of the men asked
her if she was alone. Receiving the
answer in the affirmative, the holder
of the two came in the house before
she could close the door. AS soon
as the man was within the kitchen
he grabbed a towel and tied it owe
her mouth so she could not make an
outcry and tied her hands behind
her back. In this manner he led her
through the house, demanding that
she show him where the money was
placed. Mr.. Preachers desk in the
dining room and two bureaus on the
second floor were rif1ed and every
thing turned upside down. All this
time one man, she said, stood guard
at the kitchen door. After leading
her down to the Kitchen again the
robber tied her feet and left her
lying on the kitchen floor, where she
was found by her little sister.
Miss Preacher says when she at
tempted to make an effort at an out
cry one of the men struck her a blow
In the face. She said both men were
well dressed and wore soft hats and
were dark Completed and smooth
shaven. The police were notified
and Detective Sergeant John p.
Smith, with Detectives Lewis and
McKittrick were soon on the job and
are now working on the case. Pa
trolman Winant, of the Ninety-ninth
precinct station, was the first on the
scene. About 6 o'clock last night
Mrs. Louis Walters, a %neighbor of
the Preachers, who resides a few
doors away, returning home from a
visit to the Preacher house, found a
man in her home. When she cream
ed the man disappeared out of the
back door. The entire neighborhood
In that section of the town was in a
high state of excitement from the
bold attempt to rob houses at that
time. AT the Preacher home moth
ing was taken as the robbers were
only bent on securing money.
