WILSON GOOD WITNESS.

'In those fatal years of depression,
1S93-1S96," as they are very properly
described by Woodrow Wilson, the
democratic candidate for the presi.
dency, in his History of the Ameri-
can People this country universally
suffered distress and disaster. The
conditions which the democratic adj
ministration had brought about are
thus eloquently described by DIR. VII
son on pages 235 and 236 of Vol. of
his history:
"A great poverty and depression
had come upon the western mining
regions and upon the agricultural re
gion of the west and south Prices
had fallen. Men of the poorer sort
were idle everywhere, and filed with
sort Of despair All Of the larger
cities and manufacturing towns TEEN
ed with unemployed workingmen, who
were with the utmost difficulty kept
from starvation by the systematic eff
forts CT organized charity"
Professor Wilson devotes severa'
4 pages TO Co1ey's army and other evi
dences of idleness and hard times and
also describes the difficulty which

The discovery of the cause and
means of transmission of infantile
paralysis, reported in the first of this
series of health articles, not only
makes possible the prevention of
cases of the disease, but also points
the way to successful treatment of its
unfortunate victims. 1t Is now
known that the disease is due to a
specific germ and that its favorite
lodging place in the human system is
in the secretions of the nose. These
secretions after being expelled from
the body are dried by the air, become
mixed with dust and with their con.
tanned virus are taken up by the wind
and scattered about promiscuously
In this way cases of the disease are
multiplied rapidly.
In order to prevent spread of the
disease all persons afflicted with II
should be separated from the well
and particular attention should be
given the secretions from the nose
This attention should be extended tt

MANY DEMOCRATS FOR TAFT.

There never was a campaign in
which party lines were worn as loose
ly as in the present presidential con
test This is especially true concern
ing Democrats who have announced
their determination to support Presi-
dent Taft
These Democrats. are convinced that
the election of Woodrow Wilson
means savage assault by the Demo
cratic party upon the protective sys-
tenn under which the United States
has developed unequalled prosperity.
Judging the future by the past they
anticipate that If President Taft is
defeated there will be long period OF
business uncertainty, that factories
will be closed down and millions OF
" orkingmen be forced into idleness,
with the inevitable permanent closing
down of manufactures if foreign
goods food this country through the
open doors of free trade. They know,
too, that this condition will mean
money stringency, a financial crisis,
and the destruction of the business
which has been built up under many
years of Republican administration.
With these men it is not matter
of politics but matter Of self
preservation that leads them to sup
port President Taft, whose reelection
assures continuance. of prosperity
There can be no doubt of the cor
rectness of their view The DEPRESSING
and distressful period of the last
Democratic administration is a mat
ter of history and it is certain that
the same causes will bring about the
same results.

Hatfield Man of tho Hour.

The triumpahl tour of DR.. n. D..
Hatfield and other Republican candi-
dates through the central part OF the
state is the creates since Judge Ma
han Goff broke the solid South. 1t
is common remark that no man in
this state since Judge Golf retired
from active politics has proved as
magnetic as DR.. Hatfield. To see
and hear the man is to believe in
him implicitly. Personal contact
wins him votes. Frank utterances

All believers in. good government

support. He makes votes wherever
he goes and loses none. He draws

honest thinking voter away from
him.
Independent in action, free from
faction, forceful in character, deter
mined in mind to serve the people as
they would have him after they have
elected him governor, pr0lc=aced
in his convictions and having the
courage to express them and carry
them into perfect practice, DR.. Hat
field is, indeed, the man of the hour
and that is the sentiment OF an over
whelming majority of the people not
only where he has been but also
where they have read OF him and
what he has said. The people know
he will do the fair and square thing
by all and that is why they are show
ing themselves well as willing to
trust him. Il,
Even a strong man on the Demo-
cratic ticket could not measure up
to Dr. Hatfield in the esteem OF the
people under the present conditions
of the Democratic party in this stG-sT,
and it is readily admitted that Will
liam r. Thompson, subservient as he
is to the Democratic bosses and the
special interests, falls far short OF
him, sinks into insigniflcance in
comparison, and the campaigns Of
the two men are showing that fact
in the most impressive way.
No one can follow the campaigns
of the two and the Kinds of recep-
ton they are receiving withoSt con-
ceding that DR.. Hatfield ia strong
with the people, while Mr.. Thomp-
son is weak. Hatfield gets the
crowds and stirs up enthusiasm.

titles not germane to the case. They
do not interest the voters in the
least. 1t is Mr.. Davis's case that is
before them and upon which they
have to make decision. Mr.. Hub
bard voluntarily retired as congress
man, and VS. not retired by the
voters. The Exponent has all 1t can
do to defend the official record OF
Mr. Davis, and in that effort 1t is
making pretty sorry and pathetic
spectacle OF itself. However, it is
probaly as good as could be ex-
pected from a Democratic editor
who bolted Bryan and supported
Palmer and Buckner.
When Mr.. Davis gets back he will
doubtless attempt to improve. the
line of defense by writing the articles
himself. The public awaits his re-
turn with alert interest. He is espe-
cially fine when writing tributes to
his "brilliancy" and to the smooth
working of his super-excellent men

his case is being discussed seriously

he voted time and again, and those

ling f1ocks" OF sheep-are bleatlng
their angry disapproval of his tariff
votes and views and they dine upon
the succulent grass on the hillsides
and in the fecund valleys of the dis
trict that he is soon to cease to mis-

democrats argue that what hap
rpenGd to the country during the
Cleveland panic can not happen
again for the reason that the coun.
try has grown big and great. 1T is
thus admitted that the Republican
policies and administrations have
been great for the nation in devel-
oping it, However. instead OF de-
string the country to grow still
greater the Democrats show by their
policies this year that they want the
country to react, and yet they lay
claim to progressive policies. A
sample of their progressiveness is
the striking similarity OF their pres
ent tariff plank to that of 1892 fol-
lowed by the greatest panic the ma
ton ever knew. If going backward
is progressiveness, then the Demo-
cratic party this year has its full
share of it.

War Within Fen
Days Is Assured

London, Oct 12-That all the Balkans
will be ablaze with war within the next
few days. is the one impression con-
veyed by every dispatch received to-day
from all the capitals of Europe. Tur-
keys delays in replying to the note Of
the powers and the Sultan's orders for
a general mobilization Of the Turkish
army are interpreted as having only one
meaning and that is war.
The ultimatum Of the Balkan states Is
hourly expected. and there Is nothing
TO counteract the belief that II will be
followed by an immediate declaration
OF hostilities.
Lloyds' Milan correspondent definitely
confirms that peace negotiations be-
tween Turkey and Italy have been sus-
pended and Italy now reserves full lib
erty of action on land and sea.
The Sunday Observer editorially points
out that the intense rivalry and Jealousy
between Austria and Russia Is largely
the cause Of the present condition OF
Europe and that but for secular oppo-
sition between these two countries the
few millions Of Turks would have been
swept out of the Balkans long ago BY
one or the other. Unless this antago-
nism is removed the Observer thinks It
may involve Europe in a war which will
reach to other countries. The Observer
continues:
THE great war which has been the
nightmare of civilized thought for forty
years may at last come. largely because
