IMAGINATION
I'm BUSINESS.
BY j. L.. HUNTER

IMAGINATION in the lives and thinking of people is
of the most needed qualities of the human race
today.
Imagination is nothing less the ability to
see things before they are actually brought about
Imagination of the right kind sees things so real and
them much purpose that the person doing the
imagining bring things to pass create, can make
out of little almost nothing the real things of this
world.
Imagination has good deal that makes it seem like
a divine power 1t must not be COMPOUNDED with the Ca
pacty to build useless air castles 1t must not be mixed
with the idea that great many have of cairvoyance.
We remember however, that it the capacity to
far into things which has made it possible for the
great commercial industries of the country to be built
We forget that the heads of hesendutres had
the picture in their minds long before the industry had
fairly started-Progressve Papers.

WILSON FORCED
TO TELL FACTS
Col. Harvey Asked Him Whether
His Support Was Injuring
Him. Editor Asked For A
Frank Statement, And Re-.

EWING TELLS OF INCIDENT

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 19-Robert
Ewing, Middle Tennessee represent
alive, of the State Woodrow Wilson
organization, and related, by marriage,
to both Governor Wilson and Henry
Watterson, today gave out statement
relative to the Harvey incident.
1T so happens" says the statement,
that I am prepared to give to the
people of Tennessee what I believe to
be a substantially correct account of
meeting which took place in New
York City some three weeks ago, be-
tween Col. Harvey, the able and WELL
known editor of Harper's Weekly;
Henry Watterson, editor of Courier
Journal, and Gov Wilson,"
Judge Ewing says that the publish
ing house OF Harper d Bros, which
issues Harper's Weekly, was the pub
Usher of Wilson's history of the United
States. Some years ago it was report
ed that ]. p. Morgan furnished that
house with some financial aid, but not,
as was generally understood, with any
political purpose in view.
Col. Harvey's Claims
The statement continues:
"Col. Harvey's intimates, knowing
his character, well knew that his edi-
torial utterances where wholly untram.
meled, and whatever he wrote had as
its inspiration his sincere conviction
of what was best for the country. He
had been, years before, brougt into in
innate connection-in fact, close friend
ship-with Woodrow Wilson, and had
conc ived the highest estimate OF his
character and capabilities, as everyone
who enjoys like opportunity, is bound
to do.
when the time seemed ripe to him,
he, in a series of editorials in Harper's
Weekly, presented Woodrow Wilson S
name to the Democrats of the country
as man, in his Judgment, in every
way, fit to be nominated as the Demo-
cratic candidate for President. These
editorials continued to appear in each
issue, growing stronger and stronger,
until the attention of all readers,
everywhere, was drawn to them.
Many not knowing the real indie
psndence of Col. Harvey, and seeking
to harm the Wilson cause, began to in.
dulge in all sorts of conjectures as to
what could be moving the Weekly to so
ardently champion Wilson'S nominal
ton, while others did not hesitate to
put these conjectures into unfounded
intlmatlons. AS result, a goodly
number of Wilson's real friends began
