Baltimore Sum-


If Colonel Roosevelt continues to
make speeches in the campaign
through other mouths than his own
as he did at Louisville through MT
Beverage, Governor Wilson will nave
to revise his determination to remain
quiet.
Mr. Beveridge, speaking for the COL
onel, repeated the latter's recent ac-
tempt to show that Mr.. Wilson mas
made very inefficient Governor OF
New Jersey because no change mas
been made in the las two years In
the Incorporation laws Of that state.
An inefficient Governor? 1t is TO
laugh The man who, with a hostile
Legislature, put through such meas
ures as the presidential primary and
general election laws, the corrupt
practices act, the public utilities law,
workingmens compensation act the
cold storage law, the commission gov
eminent act and many other good
measures too numerous to mention,
constituting all the best body of leg
slation which any Governor of any
state of the Union has been enabled to
put on the statute books in the men,
DRY of the present generation-to say
that such a man is inefficient or in
capable is to speak a word Of absurd
ity and foolishness
Colonel Roosevelt, it will be recall
ed, apologized the other day for his
failure to do anything with the tariff
while he was President, saying that
he had other matters Of greater i'm
portance on hand In view of the rec
ord referred to above, Governor Will
son, had he done nothing whatever
with reference to the matter of the in
corporation laws, might justifably
have availed himself of that plea. In
suppressing Jim" Smith, the states
chief representative of the big bust

GOV. WILSON AND HIS
RECORD ON THE TRUSTS

ness, he was doing a much more i'm
mediately necessary thing than re-
ylsing the incorporation laws. In
passing a public utilities law he was
dealing with big corporations vastly
more powerful for harm than the in
dustrial corporations. Those things
necessarily came first.
But Governor Wilson was most as
suredly not inactive in the other mat
ter. He has been, perhaps, the most
wideawake man in his state in appre-
ciating the evils of the New Jersey
incorporation laws and in working to
change them. He dwelt upon this in
his inaugural address, and when the
state convention met in 1911 he draft
ed the plank that was put in the party
! platform demanding a change in those
laws. The legislature of this year be-
ing Republican, failed to act, and in
the state platform a few days ago the
: Democratic party, again led by Gov
ernor Wilson, returned once more to
the attack.
Governor Wilson naturally does not
want the power of the states restrict
/ ed any way, nor superseded by fed
, eral authority. He has never, how
ever, expressed the opinion that the
states have supreme control over the
trusts, because, for one reason, if for
no other, he has always believed that
the protective tariff is one Of the
greatest bulwarks of the trusts, and
the states have nothing to do with the
protective tariff. He has maintained,
with regard to this matter of the in
corporation laws of his state, the
same good judgment and Gear
thought that he has displayed with
regard to other matters, and when
those laws are finally changed for
the better it will be recognized, we
imagine that Governor Wilson h ID
| been more influential than any other
one man in securing the change.

BANKS ARE
IN GOOD
CONDITION
SAYS u. S. BANK EXAMINERS
Cooperation Commented on
BY Them

New York, Oct. 25-Since the first
OF October several private examina-
tons of the New York banks nave
been made independently of the en-
amlnations which are frequently in
Progress under the authority Of the
national bank examiners. Presum-
ably also, the official examiner for
the New York Clearing House Associ-
alton has supervised examinations so
that the Clearing House Associations
may be constantly and thoroughv a.
formed respecting the condition of lie
banks of this city.
In view of the responsibility, and.
In fact, the considerable difficulty
which the financing of the enormous
crops of the West has entailed, it is
regarded as highly gratifying that
there should be an agreement respect
ing the condition of the banks. 1t is
the understanding that there is not
weak spot in those banks which are
members of the Clearing House Asso-
citation Relatively speaking, they are
stronger today than ever. And what
is true of New York is believed to be
true, also, of the banks of Chicago, st.
Louis, Minneapolis, Boston, Philadel-
phi a and Cincinnati.
Therefore, upon the eve of a presi-
Dental election and at a time when
the change from ebb to flood in bust
ness conditions has been in progress,
and when, also, the greatest crop
moving demands, probably, which the
country has ever known, have been
made, the American banking system
on the whole S found to be not weak
ened, but if anything, strengthened,
by these conditions.

DALTON HAS UNVEILED
MONUMENT TO JOHNSTON

Dalton, Ca, October 25.-The I'M
yelling of the Joseph f. Johnston mon
ument in this city yesterday afternoon
at 2 o'clock was an event of patriotic
interest and noteworthy importance
The city is beautifully decorated with
flags and bunting, the speakers plat
form and seats are still in pace, the
monument is completed, and the entire
affair was a great success. All bust
ness houses closed in honor of the oc-
casion.
At u o'clock a luncheon was given
by the Elks club for the delegates and
veterans. Following the luncheon the
program was begun at the monument
in the park in the center of Crawford
street Hon. Moses Wright, of Rome,
delivered the principal address, being
followed by Miss sKenney, the famous
girl sculptor on the design of the
monument. Little Suesylla Thomas, of
Dalton, pulled the cords which expos
ed to view the statue of the famous
and beloved Confederate general
The delivery of crosses of honor to
the veterans of the Lost Cause was
included in the program, this being the
last of such honors to be conferred.
A telephone wire, setting fire to the
flags and bunting used in decorating
the ball room of the Elks' club last
nj ght caused much anxiety and excite
nent. However, the flames were eXtin-
guished before any serious damage re-
sulted.

KENTUCKIANS ARE LIBERAL
Contribute $4,000 to Wilson. Marshall
Campaign Fund.

Louisville, Ky, Oct 25.-Kentucky
is the first state in the Union to re-
spond to the assessment of the Demo-
cratic National Committee by contrib
uting her full quota to the Wilson
Marshall campaign fund, according to
Johnson N. Camden, Chairman of the
State Campaign Committee, who re-
turned from Chicago. The National
Committee asked Kentucky to con-
tribute $4,000. This amount how
ever, was exceeded by the enterprisine
Kentucky Democrats, who sent $4,000
to the National Chairman.

Type of Tahitan Family.

of manhood, Now they are weak
and puny. When the island was

food but the white man came with
his canned goods, tobaccos and
liquor and the natives began to
degenerate.

Everybody has been SO busy for the
past month that there has hardly been
time to think what lasting effect the
big celebration is to have on our COM
munity. The whole thought of our
people has been to make the affair a
grand success. New that all is over
and the celebration can be set down
as an unqualified success we have
time to reflect on it's results. First
of all to be considered is the adver-
tising New Ulm has had. Certainly
nothing else could have so spread the
fair name of our city throughout the
country at large. It should be worth
thousands of dollars to US and it will
be if we know how to follow it up.
There is little use in spasmodic ad-
vertising. If persistency has any
value it is along this line and there
should be no going to sleep now for
another decade or so. Now is the
time to strike while the iron Is hot
and reach out to secure new industries
10 locate here. We need them. New
Ulm has grown very, very slowly the
past five years. It's up to US to do
something's about it and now is the
time while we are uppermost in the
minds of the outside world as a city
that can do what it sets out to &C.
1omplish.

Those Europeans who are under tn
necessity Of learning the English Ian
guage do not, it is said, regard it with
any great degree of affection. Its dt
verse origin has laden it with an i'm
mense number Of Inconsistencies. con
tradictions and Implications, and
above all, with an irregular and mex
plicable system of orthography. Ger
mans speak Of the English language
a "a monster having two mouths,
with one of which it speaks German
and with the other Latin"
The Slavonic peoples of Central
Europe, who have always had occa'
sion to master many languages, and
who for that reason are good lin
gusts, have q story to account for
the Inconsistencies of English which
is still more uncomplimentary to our
mother tongue. The story is related
as follows:
When the Lord made the different
nations, so say the Slavs, He gave
them no tongues at all; and when
they came and dumbly begged for
them, He compassionately took a
piece of meat and cut it into slices,
giving each one slice to serve as a
tongue.
This served we'll enough; but when
they were all given away, the English
man. who had either lazily or con-
temptuously failed to come sooner, ar
rived ana demanded his piece. There
was none left for him; and SO the
Lord called back the men Of the other
nations, and slicing from each one Of
their tongue = little bit He put them
all together to make a tongue for the
Englishman. This is why the English
continue to the present day to speak
in such a tumble.
The Slav tradition is so close rep
resentation In allegory of the actual
facts of the origin Of the English Ian
guage that it has made-up air. It is,
however, picturesque and interesting. |

There are lessons to be learned, too,
from the celebration. We have called
the affair an unqualified success, but
at the same time no one doubts that
in some ways the arrangements could
have been improved and it may be
we'll to pause and consider what these
improvements should be.
number have said in our hearing
that a weeks celebration was too long;
that three days would have been a
great plenty. Let us recall, however,
that when the weeks festival was
agreed upon there was no intention OF
having anything in the nature of a
street carnival nor were such i'm
mense crowds expected. The street
attractions we're arranged during the
latter part of the preparations and
there is no doubt that hundreds of
the transient visitors came with the
expectation of seeing such things.
The street noises and the crowds
were what tired people out. For a
home coming" week would scarcely
suffice as is evidenced by the number
of visitors who came for two and
three weeks. The next time street at
fractions are planned it would be well
to remember that three days of noise
and excitement were considered more
than enough by those who helped to
carry out the 1912 festival. --

Of their avocations Is . part Of the
business and should not be charged
against them. AS for the money they
took out OF town, we have heard 1t
rumored that some of then{ left more
than they took away. This would not
have b$a. the case had there not been
30 many more interesting doings than
those of the street dealers. No doubt
some of our visitors Wednesday and
Sunday were disappointed by the
tameness of the attractions but It is
not disappointment that is going to
hurt anybody and the committee hav.
ing the securing of the concessions
in charge deserves credit for wedding
out the undesirable features Of such
affairs.
Another committee which should be
given high praise was the reception
committee. These people did not or.
ganize until the Friday preceding the
celebration yet each and all worked
for the success of the whole and there
was little left to be desired in their
efforts. The home coming friends
were we'll cared for, all Of them
speaking in the highest terms Of their
reception. ''@ .' "'f.s"
The one line in which the city in
general was disappointed was in the
matter of floats and decorations. The
trouble lay in giving the work to an
outside concern. Past experience has
proved that the people of New Ulm
know how to prepare beautiful and
fitting decorations and that they will
do it at less expense than that charged
by the ]. L. Hall people. Keep the
at home isn't bad motto to
follow in these things.
In summing up we may say that
every committee was on

less that usually accompany such
