AN EccENERIc CHARACTER

The death recently in Calumet;
Mich, of Peter Sauer calls to mind
some interesting anecdotes regarding
this eccentric character He was, for
many years, credited with being the
largest Lake Superior stakeholder in
the Calumet & Hecla company, and
at the time of his death is reported to
have lef 1885 shares of this stock.
The accumulation of this started, it
is believed, in the early days of the
district, for he has been a resident of
the copper country since 1856, and
progressed slowly but surely. Up to
the time of his death he was the pro-
prietor and owner of a saloon on the
principal business street in Calumet;
all efforts 20 dislodge him were futile
and the place, decrepit affair, con-
tanned practically the same fixtures as
when it was first opened, about forty
years ago. Whenever a C. & H. divi-
dent was paid, the proceeds were i'm

a story is current in the Lake Supe-
rior country that about fifteen years
ago Mr.. Sauer became dissatisfied
with the dividends he was receiving

Agassiz, president of the company. to
that effect; whereupon, the latter i'm
mediately rendered Mr.. Sauer a check
for the full amount OF his stock at the
ruling quotation. The offer was re-
fused Whether or not the story is
true, it is illustrative of the eccentric
ity of the deceased Another story was
oft related. While the accumulation
of this stock was in progress, Mr..
Sauer performed odd jobs of draying
for travelling statesmen. On a cold.
snowy day, one winter, salesman no

and that his hands were cold and

LET'S GET TOGETHER AND STOP
KNOCKING
Very truly,
FRANK HARRIS.

Fighting Woodrow Wilson!"
Knocking Woodrow Wilson!" These
and similar phrases are now quite
conspicuous in the opulistic-socialist-
ic-tinctured democratic press, and
they descry and denounce any such
proceedings. We say amen to the
proposition. Fighting and knocking
Woodrow Wilson should be left to the
republican press, which will be done
in due season, providing he obtains
the democratic presidential nominal
ton But how about these so-called
democratic newspapers knocking Jud-
son Harmon? That has been their
pastime for six months or more. They
have held him up as being hand-in-
glove with the interests" and the
candidate of Wall Street, when they
cannot point to single thing that he
has ever done that can justify any
such imputation. When Mr. Bryan
has gone about with his little toma-
hawk and scalping knife eating DIT
the heads of Mr. Judson Harmon. Os-
car Underwood, Mr.. Guffy and others
and then scalping them, these papers
have said, ".Bravol Bravo!" and have
applauded him to the echo. We are
glad that they are seeing heir mis-
take and are calling a halt. They
have come to a realizing sense that
there is such thing as "glass hous-
es,' and that they are easily shatter-
ed. Let us sheath our daggers and
preach harmony and political toler-
ance. "A house divided against itself
must fall" lie us see that The der1-
ocratic household is not divided, and
let us use our best efforts in strength
ening it in every conceivable way.

VETERAN STUBS TOE IN BATH
AND LOSES LEG

Col. Beverly Winfred Wrenn, who
served in the civil war as aide on
Gen. Robert E. Lees staff, and car
ried the message offering to discuss
terms of surrender from Lee to Grant
at Appomattox, has received his first
wound and lost leg.
stubbed his toe when getting out Of
the tub after his morning bath. The
toe turned black and blue and caused
considerable pain, but the veteran
thought nothing of it. Then set in
poisoning and gangrene. Yesterday
his left leg had to be amputated.
Colonel Wrenn lives at No. 623 w.
One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street,
and ten days ago, when his leg began
to swell and stiffen, he ran his finger
down the list of Lees in the telephone
directory in search Of a doctor whom
he knew. Finding DR.. Edward Wal
lace Lee of No. GIG. Madison avenue,
he consulted him about his foot DR..
Lee found the foot in bad shape, and
a week ago he took Col. Wrenn to
Mrs Malley's private sanitarium, No.
2G9 West Seventy-first street.
With DR.. William E. Young of No.
SO West Sixty-fifth street, Dr. Lee yes
terday operated on Col. Wrenn, as
danger of blood poisoning had become
great. He was resting easily when
left" said Dr. Lee yesterday even
ing, but he is sixty-seven years old
pretty old to lose a leg. He'd have lost
his life surely, though, if we hadn't
operated"
Col. Wrenn has been in charge of
line of sightseeing automobiles in
upper Broadway for some time. After
the war he was for some time general
manager of the Plant lines.-World.
Mr. Wrenn was a most popular rail
road official and had many friends in
Florida, who will regret to hear of the
accident that has befallen him, but
rejoice that his life has been spared.

WATERWAYS CONFERENCE IN
NASHVILLE

Senator Duncan L. Fletcher, presi-
den tof the Southern commercial
Congress, has sent out letters to a
number of the leading men of the ma
ton inviting them to a waterways
conference to be held in Nashville
during the period of the Southern
Commercial Congress, April to 10.
President Fletcher has made the point
in these letters that organizations ex-
listing for the benefit of definite wa
terways project, and the great ma
tional rivers and harbers congress,
working for the expenditures of vast
annual funds in waterway improve
ment, have never yet discussed, from
business standpoint, except as af-
fecting rates, the business manage
ment of such vast enterprise as is
represented by the investment of a
half billion dollars. Consequently, the
subjects that will be discussed in the
waterways conference in Nashville
will be these:
l. Shall the decision for or against
waterway project rest for favorable
report solely in the hands of engi-
neers?
,. Does the government ownership
of the waterways Of the country car
~ with it responsibility for govern
mental administration when develop
ed?
3. Should developed waterways be
controlled as the railroads are CON
trolled in order to avoid cut-throat
competition, and probable disuse?
4. As the founders of the country
knew nothing of hydro-electric power
should we not develop outside of par
tisan strife, body of law that shall
permit the double use of waterways
without unnecessary delay?
Leland J. Henderson secretary Of
the Mississippi to Atlantic Inland
Waterways Association, and secretary
of the commercial association of Pen
sacola, Florida, has been invited to
the craftsmanship of this conference

WILSON'S WEAK
NESS

Mr. Bryan is quite convinced that
Woodrow Wilson is fortunate in hav-
ing lost the support of Col. Harvey
and Harper's Weekly, because such
support naturally aroused suspicion
as to the sincerity of one or the 9TH
err"
But might not as much be said of
Mr. Bryan's ostentatious support of
Gov. Wilson? Has it had no tendency
to arouse suspicion as to the SINGER
ity of one or the other?" Was Col.
Harvey the only incubus weighing up
on the Woodrow Wilson candidacy?
Our own opinion is that Organism
has worked more harm to the Wilson
campaign than Harveyism, and we
say this without the slightest DISPOSE
ton to belittle Mr. Bryan or to speak
unkindly of him.
In Mr.. Bryan lies Gov. Wilson's
most conspicuous weakness among
the thoughtful democrats of the coun-
try They do not understand this alli-
ance between the populistic agitator
and the historian of the American
people, between the demagogic orator
and the college president, between the
perpetual candidate and the trained
student of republican institutions.
we do not mean to say that Gov.
Wilson would be stronger if Mr.. Brv-
an were actively against him. We do
not mean to say that he should repu-
olate MI Bryan's support as he is ac-
cused of having repudiated Col. Har-
vey's support. We do not mean to
say that he should ally himself with
That small faction of democrats who

Colonel Harvey's full knowledge and
approval, but upon his insistence;
that, from the beginning, he was most
impatient of delay, sending a personal
representative to me at Atlanta the
oath Of December, and again the same
representative to Richmond the 31st
of December, urging me to take the
initiative; that he was unqualified in
endorsing my statement of the Man

regarded by fair-minded people as
confession that he dare not face the
facts.

made a hero of Wilson because of his
break with Harvey, how shall they
square themselves with the eternal
verities now that they learn that Will
son and Harvey are weeping upon one

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL.
CONVENTION

Yielding to the solicitation Of
friends in different parts of the state,
| hereby announce my candidacy for
delegate from the state at large to
the national democratic convention,
which meets in the city of Baltimore
on June 25th next
If elected l shall leave my toma-
hawk and scalping knife at home, and
will carry to the convention an olive
branch of peace and will do all in my
power to bring about a spirit of har-
mony and cool fellowship among
democrats of all sections, schools and
classes, so that a ageneral unification
will prevail.
Our only hope of victory is in "'get-
ting together" and with that spirit up
permost, make an appeal to all class
es of democrats whose desire of vic
tory is paramount to all other consid-
erations for support.

favors and who believe that the true
function Of government Is to further
the welfare of the Stock Exchange
But we do mean to say that Gov. VIII
son should explain the circumstances
that swerved him from historic dem
ocracy into open political sympathy
with Organism. We think 1t requires
explanation-at least that 1t requires
more adequate explanation than it has
received.
In 1907 Woodrow Wilson wanted
Mr.. Bryan knocked into cooked
hat" In 1912 Woodrow Wilson eulo-
gizes Mr. Bryan as the zone man
whose broadened mind has been able
to see what is the matter and to
point it out to the public" In 1907
Woodrow Wilson was teaching his
classes that the initiative and refer
endum and the recall We're subversive
Of republican government. In 1912
Woodrow Wilson is telling the coun-
try that he was wrong and that the
initiative and referendum and the re-
call are safe implements of democra-
cy.
All thi sis very puzzling to the or
binary mind. The average man is GU
rious to know whether Mr.. Bryan
has changed or whether Gov. Wilson
has changed, or whether great ques-
tons of public policy necessarily pre-
sent a different aspect to the president
of a university and to a candidate for
president of the United States.
This issue is far more important
than Gov. Wilson's friends are dispos-
ed to admit, for when the governor eu-
logizes Mr.. Bryan as "the one man
whose broadened mind has been able
to see what is the matter and TO point
it out to the public" the country has
a right to know when and how Mr..
Bryan's mind 'broadened." Wherein
does the Bryan mind of today differ
from the Bryan mind of free silver, of
16 to 1, of the attack upon the United
States supreme court, of government
ownership of railroads, of municipal
ownership of public utilities, of gov
eminent guarantee of bank deposits.
and of all the other isms to which Mr.
Bryan has lent his influence and his
persuasive eloquence?
More important still is a certain
change of tone that seems TO have
been ringing in Gov Wilson's utter
ances since he began to swing toward
Mr. Bryan. Many of his admirers
have had an uneasy feeling that he
was STOPPING toward the arts of dem
agogy, that he was acquiring certain
facile ways of speech that belonged
to the clever politician rather than TO
the statesman, that he was playing a
game rather than giving the best of
his guidance and counsel and genius
to the American people, that he was
sacrificing his intellectual integrity to
the favor of cheap popularity.
The World may be mistaken about
this, and if we are mistaken we hope
that Gov Wilson will set us right.
Certainly the World is not quarrel
ing with Gov. Wilson because he is
radical. The World itself is radical
it has always been radical and it ex-
poets always to remain radical 1t is
glad Gov. Wilson is radical We are
not quarreling with him because he is
ambitious to be president, for we sug-
gested his name and enumerated his
eminent qualifications at least four
years ago.
1t seemed to US then and it still
seems to us that it would be a glo-
rious thing for the American people
to go to one of their great universities
