too fine for newspaper work. How
ever most everybody knew who it was
intended Tor. 1he fact is, that about
everybody IN Morgan county knows
the original, who is a candidate for
Representative on the Dem 'cratic
ticket. While as we have said before.
the Doctor. is net on our ticket, we
teel that it's no more than justice to
speak well of an old and so well res
pected citizen as he is. No mar in
Morgan County is better informed in
a general way than he is. No man
has a better record than he has as a
business man, as a farmer. as a stock
raiser or as a good citizen. No man
in his party is better qualified TO fill
position to which he aspires than he
is and while we feel kind of sorry TO
tumble down SO on the picture. yet
we hardly feel that we can make DR..
Woods any better known than he is
even if we print a good picture Of him
every day. DR.. Woods is worthy
the consideration of every good cit
izen in his party on primary election
day.

Chicago Convention at Work.

StAhS0S
The great Republican national con-
vention OF 1912 at Chicago, is at work
but no one can ioretell what the res
ult OF it's labors will be. Among all
'.scrapping' conventions this is the
scrappiest that ever has been or ever
will be for a long time TO ONE The
Democrats have always given us the
credit OF being good fighters and we
are now, the only trouble we are fight
ing the wrong fellows. We have lick
ed the Democrats so often that scrap
ping with them has 6 'tten rather tame,
but the work we are doing now, will
put things in shape to give us plenty
to do when the Democrats come up
before US next time. We are surely
helping the boys Out on the other side.
The convention convened at noon
Tuesday as arranged and after quite
a fight, Senator Root was elected
temporary chairman. Gov. Hadley,
leader on the floor of the Roose-
Welt forces, Cl,imed that no contesting
delegate had the right to vote. As
the national committee has thrown
out nearly all the Roosevelt delegates,
in these contests, il this contention
could have prevailed, it would have
beaten Senator Root and elected Gov.
McGovcrn OF Wisconsin, a Roosevelt
man. However chairman Rosewater
OF the national committee, who call
ed the convention to order, ruled all
m)tions u Of order until a ,cmpor-
AIRY organization was effected and SO
elected Sen ,tor Root Temporary chair
IN IN, which 80 far is a TAFT victory.
However this is only a starter. These
confess will have to all come up again
before the crcdential committee OF
the convention and then may be APP
pcalcd to the convention, and as no
one knows the result, it worll take a
mighty reliable fortune teller to figure
out what is coming. 1t IS very unfor.
tunate that so great a party as the
Republican party. after all it has ach.
itved and ai;er all it's great victories,
should get into this middle. Still
these things come and will continue tc
come. Whenever '.ho.ses" or wha'
appears b. bossism, ges possession
OF a party either in county, state or
government. there is bound to be
revolt that u,u lily results in good
though a lit'e tough on the office
holders. As each side is claiming i
viii win out, there is no way Of tell
me now what may happen. All w
cda do is {, wait and see. 1t is be
'l,Ytd our people may get along tel
cradle ~narmoniou,ly SO long as tEeI,
are plenty policemen about.

Wanted: Good Citizens.

Laws are only as effective as their
administration. Good tools do not
make good craftsmen, as accurate
guns do not guarantee craftsmanship.
1t is the man that counts, and it is
will and courage and Self-respect that
make the man count.
The nation can't find remedies for
its distresses through any act OF leg
i'lation. There are enough statutes
on the books now to solve every diff
fculty and to s~traightcn every social
and business tangle. We have laws
enough, and good enough laws; but
we have not good enough citizens and
enough good enough citizens.
The vast majority OF Americans ar
warped with self-interest intent upon
the attainment of essentially personal
ends; negligent in their obligations to
the republic; ignorant, yes, grossly
ignorant, of the very fundaments up
on which the security of the common
wealth depends. "1.

PIERCE MAY ANSWER SUIT
Oil Man Gets Opening of De-
fault in Mrs. Rycroft's Action.

Henry Clay Pierce, Of the Waters Pierce
Oil Company. whose steam yacht was at
tached on a Judgment for Slu,l4O OBJ
talaed by Mrs. Alice G. RycToft on the
default Of the defendant, who was too Ill
TO be at the trial of the suit, Won his
point in the Appellate Division yesterday
for the opening Of the default and the
trial Of the suit on its merits. Since Mrs
Rycroft got her judgment and then at
etaehed the yacht of Mr.. Pierce, which at
1achment was subsequently vacated, the
case has been IN the court several times,
first one gaining a point and then the
other.
= The suit was to recover the value Of
certain securities which Mrs. Rycroft says
she gave into the care Of Mr.. Pierce for
Investment and which she alleged the oil
man converted to his own use. Justice
Clarke, writing the opinion Of the Appel
late Division, said;
Il IS not necessary for US at this time

a complete defence TO the whole cause
Of action: enough has been established

validity OF the plaintiffs claim; at least
In Its entirety. Under such circumstances,
in the interests of justice. We are un-
willing TO permit this judgment to stand.
We think that a real trial should be
had IN open court, where the conflicting
stories may be tested according TO the
course OF common law.

MRS. WILSON I'm FOR IT"
Suffragettes Aroused at Her

-nRenuOus and lnfantIle. 2

Most ingenious and infantle,'
That is the way the New York suffra-
glsts characterized Mrs. Woodrow VII
sons explanation that she was too busy
TO be a suffragist"
That apology won't be accepted. not
for a minute. Sunragists pointed yester-
day to Julia Ward Howe, who had time TO
bring up a large family in way TO make
them write poetry about 1t afterward,
In spite of the fact that she wrote and
lectured on votes for women. They point
TO dozens of other leaders OF the cause"
who have all been busy" because the
cause has always been champ.oned by
women OF slender means. who had to
work They point to the thousands Of
school teachers. doctors, lawyers, factory
girls and other wage earners who are
the mainstay Of tho movement to-day.
Mrs. Wilson's defence that she had
been more interested in social work. that
there are such great needs for the chill
dren OF this country at this time that
this work has appealed TO me as the one
which should occupy the minds Of women
more extensively than seeking the right
to vote" doesn't make much impression
upon the stern-minded suffraglsts. Il
can't believe that Mrs. Wilson can have
gone very far in her efforts to satisfy
the great needs OF the children" COM
mented Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch. ~
she has not yet found out that she can't
get anywhere without the vote. II she
tries TO do anything adequate and
vital she will soon find that she has to
get on the inside OF politics The trouble
with Mrs Wilson is the same thing that
is the trouble with most women of her
class. Men have partly gotten over II.
through their political experiences, but
women are not really democratic. They
want to hand out favors 10 the working
woman and her babies. They enjoy chart
ties, because they like the feeling OF play
ing Lady Bountful' They are really
aristocratic al heart. They do not know
that they can help the working woman
best by helping her get the ballot. Be
You'd that the working woman must help
herself"
